PREFACE

The present issue of the District Statistical Handbook seeks to provide statistical information on various socio-economic aspects of the district on a compact form. Attempts have been made to incorporate latest available information in this publication maintaining continuity of the time series of the data published in earlier issues. Data at the Block level have also been incorporated as far as available. I express my gratitude to the different offices situated in the district for their co-operation in obtaining data related to their activities. I like to put in my appreciation to the officials of the Handbook, Co-ordination & Nucleus (Compilation) units of the Head Office, District office and Electronic Data Processing Unit of the Bureau of Applied Economics & Statistics for their sincere and sustained work in bringing out the publi- cation. Suggestions for any improvement of the publication will be appreciated.
