There was a large number of being "00" are kept for accommodating future census charge officers and district census officers changes in case of split of an existing village or who were all part-time workers. creation of new villages etc. Since the Permanent Location Codes have been assigned to each village, The enumeration staff performed their duties more theoretically tracing the precise location of village on as a labour of love. Till the 1951 census the account of future jurisdictional changes in the enumerators were not paid anything at all. From 1961 boundaries of various administrative areas within the on wards a small honorarium to each enumerator and state should not pose a problem. It is imperative that supervisor was paid. This practice continued in 1971, under this scheme, the PLCN assigned to villages at 1981, 1991 and 2001 censuses also. the Census of India, 2001, are adopted in future censuses also to ensure the comparability of the data New Features of the Census of India, 2001 at the village and other administrative levels over a long time series. Several new innovations have been introduced at almost all the stages of the Census of India 2001 Formation and Identification of Slum right from the preparatory efforts to the data Enumeration Block processing and dissemination stage. This includes certain fundamental changes in the form and contents The phenomenon of rapid urbanization coupled of the Houselist and Household schedules, while with industrialization and growth in manufacturing and maintaining the continuity and comparability of the commercial centers leads to surfacing of slums. In basic housing and population characteristics with the various states, the slums are known by different local earlier census. Some of the new features introduced names officially and unofficially but the basic and innovations made in the Census of India 2001 characteristics of slums remains the same such as are listed and discussed below. inadequate lighting, lack of safe drinking water, \ absence of toilet facilities and non-availability of basic Permanent Location Code Number social and health services. Slum enumeration Blocks were identified for the first time in census, in each One of the important inputs in census taking is Municipal town having a popUlation of 50,000. assigning of the Location Code Numbers at various Instructions were issued that these Enumeration administrative levels.

It is not a routine job, as it posed several problems of study in changes in growth requires clear understanding of several census and distribution of concepts. The enumerators are also to be reminded population and their characteristics from one about the sensitivity of the different questions that census to another. For the Census of India, 2001, a are canvassed and given tips on the probing techniques. system of Permanent Location Code Numbers The training classes have to be properly structured (PCLN) has been adopted by assigning to each village with the right emphasis on each of the questions.

At the same time, it is a population density of 400 persons per sq. km. and all the more important to understand the implications having at least 75 per cent of male working population of the terms used at the' Census of India 2001, for engaged in non-agricultural activity were considered. making meaningful comparisons of the similar data To work out the proportion of male working population generated' b_y various other agencies within the referred to above against (b) (ii) the data relating to country and with the data produced by other countries main workers were taken into account. in the world. The concepts and definitions adopted Apart from these, the outgrowths (OGs) of cities at the Census of India, 2001 are as given below: and towns have also been treated as urban under Generally speaking, persons who were present 'Urban Agglomerations'. Examples of out-growths in the household during the entire period of I are railway colonies, university campuses, port areas, enumeration or who were known to be usual residents military camps etc. that may have come up near a of the household and have stayed there for part of statutory town or city but within the revenue limits of the enumeration period or who were not present at a village or villages contiguous to the town or city. the time of visit of the enumerator but were expected Each such individual area by itself may not satisfy to return by 28th Fenruary, 2001 were eligible to be the demographic criteria laid down at (b) above to enumerated. For the purpose of enumeration the qualify it to be tJ¥!ated as an independent urban unit following persons were enumerated in a household: but may deserve ~o be clubbed with the towns as a Rural and Urban Areas: continuous urban spread. Thus, the town level data, wherever presented, also includes the data for Census data have always been presented for rural outgrowths of such towns. and urban areas separately. The basic unit for rural areas is the r.evenue village which has definite City surveyed boundaries. The revenue village may Towns with popUlation of 1,00,000 and above are comprise several hamlets but the entire village has called cities. been treated as one unit for presentation of data. In Urban Agglomerations unsurveyed area, like villages within forest areas, each habitation area with locally recognised boundaries At the 1961 Census, the concept of 'Town Group' within each forest range officer's beat, was treated was adopted to obtain a broad picture relating to as one unit. In the census of India 2001, the defInition urban spread. This was refined in 1971 with the of urban area adopted was as follows :- concept of 'Urban Agglomeration' to obtain better (a) All places with a municipality, corporation, feed back in regard to urban contiguity, processes cantonment board or notifIed town area and trends of urbanisation and other related matters. committee etc. This concept without any change or modification has remained operative in the 1981, 1991 and 2001 (b) A place satisfying the following three criteria censuses. An Urban Agglomeration forms a simultaneously: continuous urban spread and normally consists of a (i) a minimum population of 5,000; town and its adjoining urban outgrowths (OGs), or two or more physically contiguous towns together with (ii) at least 75 per cent of male working contiguous well recognised outgrowths, if any, or such population engaged in non-agricultural towns.

Examples the statutory limits of the corporation, municipality or of Institutional Households are boarding houses, cantonment etc. in most of the cases they fall within messes, hostels, hotels, rescue homes, jails, ashrams, the revenue limit of the village or villages which is or orphanages, etc. To make the definition more clearly are contiguous to the town. Since such areas are perceptible to the Enumerators at the Census 2001, already urbanised it is not considered realistic to treat it was specifically mentioned that this category of such areas lying outside the statutory limits of a town hou~eholds would cover only those households where as rural units, although a few of them may not satisfy a group of unrelated persons live in an institution and some of the p~escribed eligibility tests to qualify share a common kitchen. themselves as independent urban units. Such areas have been termed as outgr9wths (OGs) and reckoned Houseless Household along with the town.

One of the major initiatives taken in the Census 2001 was the allotment of Permanent Location Code Abbreviations Used Number (PLCN) to each and every village within the State and not within a tahsil as in ~he earlier Abbreviations of civic status of cities or towns: censllses. PLCN was thus assigned as one continuous number from the ftrst village in the ftrst district to the C.B. - Cantompent Board/Cantonment last village in the last district. PLCN is an eight digit C.M.C. - City Municipal Council unique location code number with the ftrst six digits E.O. - Estate Office representing the code number of the village and the G.P. - Gram Panchayat last two digits depicting two zeros '00'.

The Mountbatten Plan the country which affected the area of the new state, envisaging the partition of India involved Assam as another faclor which did so was the bloodless well. The last Viceroy and Governor General, Lord revolution brought about by that wise and far-sighted Mountbatten, singled out the overwhelmingly Muslim statesman, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. His historic majority district of Sylhet with an area of 5,478 square achievement in unifying the country by integrating the I11iles and a population of 3,116,602 according to the old Princely States with the rest of India had its 1941 Census, for a referendum to decide whether it repercussions even in the far-off Assam.

Accordingly the Sylhet referendum was of 3,788 sq. miles with a popUlation of 213,586 held in July 1947 according to which the district according to the 1941 Census, were merged with the elected to go to Pakistan by a majority of over half district of Khasi and Jaintia Hills at the inauguration a lakh of votes. of the republic of India, on 26th January 1950, forming the new, enlarged admirtistrative district of the United The Bengal Boundary Commission presided over Khasi and Jaintia Hills.
