Bhadran peta, one village transferred to Panch Mahals district. and fonr villagE's transferred to Broach district ), with the addition of the form. r Ir,dial1 States of Chhpta Udepur, Sankheda M. WBfiI, Pandu Mewas and Bhaderwa. One village of Panch Mahala district was addt'd to Baroda dist! ict. The district had a 1951 population of 1,194,746 and lin arf'a of 2,969'2 square miles, according to the area figure furnished by the ~urvl'yor General of India. This Handbook contains tables for Baroda district, c'lmpilerl after the 1951 Census of India. The main results of the 1951 Census are embodiE'd in the State Tables published for the States of Bombay, Saur'lshtra and Kutch. In this Handbook, the data are exhIbited in greater detail. The numbers given to tables in this puhlication correspond to those given in the State CE'nsl1s Report. The following tables for the district have, however. not been included in this Handbook. :- A-II Variation in population during fifty years. A-IV Towns classified by population with variations since 1901. D-IV Migrants. Tn the E-Summary table, in this Handbook, some columns have been omitted. I In the case of the C-series of tablE'S, except C-I. the data were extracted OR the basis of a sample couut of approximately 10% of the census slips, illstf'ad of a full count of all the slips. The C-I table was preparerl from a fo1\r ppr cE'nt sample of the households recorded in the National Re",ister of Citizens relating ta each town or village. In 1941, the population fi~Ul'es ware exhihitAd accorrling to communities in the "Village Handbooks". publishHd ~y the Government of Bombay. In 1951, the basis of classification at the Census was changed fl'<lm a social to an economic one, and the figures for villalles given in thE.> Primary Census 'Abstraots and in tables A.-V. B-1. B·l1, C-II and E are according to the following eight Livelihood· C1asses:- Agricultural Classes I Cultivators of land, wholly or mainly owned; and their d(>ppndant'. II Cultivators of' land, wholly or mainly unowned; and their clt'pendantB. III Cultivating labourers; and their dependants. IV Non -cultivating owners of land; agricultural rent reCf>ivers; and their depend'lntl!. NOD-Agricultural Classes Persons (including dependants) who derive their principal means of liveli­ hood from:- V Production other than cultivation. V r Commerce. VII Transport Vil I Other services and miscellaneous SOllrCelJ. Dependants, 'whether earning or non.earning, were classified at the census according to the principal means of livelihood of the persons on whom they were dependant. The Primary Census Abstracts, which contain basic information in respect of every village and town, have been arranged according to talukas and petas, units into which every district. is divided for administrative purposes. Tbe taluka was, however, too small a: unit to adopt for preparing the main census tables. Therefore, in the B, C and D-series of tables figures have been given for tracts and not for talukas and .petas. Before sorting the census slips and tabulating the results, tracts were formed by combining the rural and urban areas of two or more talukas or petas. The tracts into which Baroda district was divided for this purpose are shown below:- Rural Tracts (1) Rural areas of Savli and Baroda talukas. (2) Rural areas of Padra and Karjan taJukas. (3) Rural areas of Naswadi, Dabhoi and Waghodia talukas and Sinor Peta. (4) Rural areas ofJabugam, Chhota Udepur and Sankheda talukas. Urban Tracts (1) Baroda City. (2) Urban area, of Savli, Karjan and Padra talukas. .. (3) Urban area'l of Chhota Udepur, Dabhoi, Sankht"da and Waghodia taluka, and Sinor peta Urban areas comprise the towns shown in table A-y. Shortly before the 19.51 population census, a census of Small Industries was taken, and the results of this census are given in the table called "Small Scale Illdustrie:s Census-Employment 10 Est~blishments", included 10 this Handbook. The intention was to find out something about Cottage and H~me Industries and small workshops. The larger establishments, that is, power.using establishments with 10 or more workers and non-power using establishments with 20 or more workers, were c::xcluded ii-om the scope of the enquiry as they now submit returns under the Factory Act. The enquiry did not concern itself also "vith workers functioning on their own and not emp!oying other people, except when looms were used. Other}Vise the concept was of an enquiry which embraced all forms of associate acuvtty where articles were produced. repaired or 'ltherwise treated for sale, use or disposal.
