Maintaining the past tradition of releasing the population data on a provisional basis within a short time after the completion of population enumeration, the provisional population figures were compiled at the Cersus Directorate based on various abstracts built up at different administrative levels such as the Enumeration block, Rural/ Urban Charge (Community Development Block / Town) and the District. The entire exercise of aggregation of provisional data up to the state' level was completed within a very short span of time. On the basis of these abstracts, the provisional population figures of this state were released on 27'h March, 2001 in the form of Paper-1 containing provisional figures with regard to Total population, Population in the age-group 0-6 and Literate population. The provisional population figures presented in Paper-l were for State and District level only. Paper -1 was followed by Paper -2 of 2001 which was published in the month of July, 2001. Paper-2 was second in the series of publications on provisional population totals· and it mainly in­ cluded provisional data on rural-urban distribution of population and its characteristics, provisional totals for community development blocks, urban agglomerations and their constituents and popula­ tion totals for individual cities and towns. The provisional population of urban outgrowths was also shown separa,tely as constituents of urban agglomerations. The present Paper-3 of 20a1, which is the last in the series of publication on provisional population totals. mainly contains data on workers and their characteristics. The information on population and the number of main workers, marginal workers and non'workers and also the number of workers ( main and marsinal) classified by their economic activities i.e., cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers in household industry and other workers have been presented in this paper. Since the release of final population figures may take some more time, it is hoped thaHhe provisional popUlation data being presented in this P'lper would be quite useful and beneficial for the planners. government and non-government organizations. researchers,and the local data users. I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude to the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India and his tean} of dedicated officers for the able guidance and encouragement provided by them in giving final shape to this paper. I am personally grateful to officers and staff of my own directorate for all the strain they took in preparing this paper in the shortest possible time. It is only because of their untiring effort and dedication that ithas been possible to bring out this paper within a short span of time. Patna Sudhir Kumar Rakesh The 20'h April,2002.
