PREfACE
It has been a tradition that 'after each decennial census of the population an .. Administration Report - E.numeration" is written by each and every Director of Census Operations who has conducted the Census to record therein his functions, duties and experiences in the course of the census operations in order to act as a guide to his suc«~ssor in the next decennial census. With the passage of time and due to the continuous rise in the population. the number of districts. Dev. Blocks, drdes, etc., ha~ risen by many folds. This increase has made the conduct of the census operations more complicated and strenuous demanding huge manpower at every level. The problems and experiences faced and gained by a director in the earlier census may widely differ from the problems faced and experiences gained by a director in the later censuses. The lat~r censuses are more demanding than the earlier ones where the director has to pool all the resources available to him in a more stringent manner permitting not the slight~t laxity. The census itself is quite exact in its demand both mental and physical as it has to be completed within a scheduled date. Here~ therefore, lies the importance of an "Administration Report - Enumeration" which covers the period from the prepara~ory stage of the 1991 Census which started in 1987 to the completion of the actual enumeration on February 28, 1991. with a revisional round from March 1 to 6. 1991. During this period the director might have encountered quite a Aumber of problems for which he might have found the correct solution. He might also have gained quite an amount to experiences that would be an indispensable asset for his successor. It would be, therefore. very appropriate that this report is prefaced by the director himself. But may be due to his early departure on 28.12.94. this report has 'been Jeft unprefaced
l\'\y heartfelt thanks also goes to Shri A.R. Nanda, Registrar General, India, who has been the guiding light during the course of the 1991 Census operations. His useful advice and able guidance are an inspiratoin to us all.
Nevertheless. on his behalf, I express my sincere gratitude to all the officers in the State Government right from those who were in the state secretariat. the districts and down to Block Development Officers. without full co-operation of whom. the conduct of the 1991 Census in Meghalaya would not have been that successful.
In the directorate of census operations. Meghalaya, the director was ably assisted by S/Shri D.P. Khobragade, Deputy Director. who had relinguished charge of this office on 1.5.93 on transfer and K.S. Lyngdoh, Assistant Director, who had retired from service on superannuation on 30.6. 1995. My Sincere thanks to them both.

Sub Up-dating of maps at Tahsil/faluk/PS etc. &.. District/State levels for 1991 Census. Sir. 1. with refereince to the meetings held on 23rd and 24th November. 1987 to review the staff deployment and progress of work. the Registrar General. India desired to issue the detailed instructions and guidelines for updating of maps at all levels for 1991 census. In this connection. item 4 on page 16 of the minutes of discussion held on 23rd and 24rd November. 1987 circulated vide letter No. 18/59/87-Ad-1 dated 28. t 2.87 may .please be referred to . 2. In order to have a complete enumeration of the entire country without any omiSSion or duplication, it is absolutely necessary to have a complete coverage of the latest administrative set-up to be obtained by listing all areas such as Districts/faluks/fahsils/Police Stations/CD Blocks and other equivalentlevels/towns and villages and you State/UT. Action for up-dating the jurisdicational changes and list of villages according to the letter No. 9/12/87-CD (CEN) dated 24th June. 1987 has already been initiated by you. 3. After 1981 Census. several jurisdictional changes might have taken place at District/fal.ulof 24th June. 1987. As such. all lists of changes are to be updated with reference to maps which may be worked out the assistance of the Revenue/Home Departments of the States/UTs. Now. all such Changes that have taken place after the 1981 census are (i) to be plotted on the maps at the levels of States/UTs. tahsils/ Taluks and equivalent levels. as applicable to have a complete geographical distribution of such chang~. and (ii) tallied with the list so procured and the maps so prepared at specific administrative levels which are termed as "Working Maps" as outlined in this drcular. While doing so. you may get an idea of gaps in the list and the changes brought out on the maps. If the jurisdictional changes the list so transformed on the relevant maps are not tallying then .you may have to initiate a dialogue with the Revenue Department again to take care of such anomalies. Your office should continue to procure details of changes at different levels of jurisdictions of your State/UT from time to time. It Is further advised· that you also procure Gazette Notifications of the State/UT Governments with a close liaison with the Revenue and Home Departments of your State/UT on such changes to update maps and lists till the entire jurisdictions from village through State/UT are finalised and recorded. 4. The above objective is a most preliminary and important geographic work for the ensuing 1991 Census. Some relevent details of preparation of "Working Maps" at District/fahsil/faluk/PS/Block etc. levels are spelt out below. Please note that these maps are not to the published but these would be mere aids to look Into t~e magnitude of spetial distribution, ~hanges in jurisdictions and their up-dating and listing of areas from Village through thasil/district/state levels for the census operation which will further help you to arrange for alphabetical listing of jurisOictions. assigning location codes (both rural/urban) within districts of the State/UTs. This wil'l further assist you to operate for the delineation of LAs/Supervisor areas for which separate instructions will be issued in due course. 48 A : Tahsil/Taluk etc. Maps: You are already having the original tansil(faluk etc. maps of 19.81 at scale 1 :50,000 or 1 inch to a mile showing location code of all census villages/town with boundary and urban spread. These maps are the starting points for checking the list, you have already procured. on lthe instructions as contained in the Registrar General's letter No. 9/12/87-CD (CEN) dated 24th June. 1987. It is sobvious that after 1981, a number 0 changes might have occured at tahsil/village levels. Ther~ m~j1 be several situations in this regard as mentioned below for your analysis and updating. (il There may be cases where the tahsil boundary of 1981 has remained unchanged till now and the list of the ,\)'iIIages as you have collected in response to the above letter tallies with you satisfaction. On thd countrary, th.ere may be cases of (a) change in village names, (b) merger of one village with some other villages or (c) a single village bifurcated into two independent villages with different names according to the list you have procured. In such cases. on the basis of the village list co~lected for 1991 and the tahsil map obtained from the SUNey/Revenue Deptt.(fahsildar alike, the existing 1981 Census maps are to be corrected and a fresh "Working Map" with village boundaries and names are to be worked out on 1:50,000 or 1 inch to a mile scale so that the village boundaries are preciscly evaluated for the purpose of the census. All new villages which have been created after 1981 Census are to be located on the map for spatial examination and stock-taking. If a Village shown in the new Village list is not identifiable will the existing tahsil map of the 1981, Census, the matter is to ~e referred to the State/ill authorities and settled very quickly. (ii) In all cases where a new tahsil has been created by transfer of area from one or more tehsils of the district/districts of the State/LIT, a fresh map for this tahsil is to be propered or procured from State/UT sources. All villages and towns/urban areas which have been included in this newly created tahsil are to be identified and names are to be written in free hand on your "Working Maps" of specific administrative levels for examining the completeness of the list and geographiclal areas. Sometimes you may feel that it is difficult ot worite names of villages in certain area on the tahsil maps. In such cases. serial nllmbers with names of the villages may be adopted at suitable place on the map as a key to correlate and match the village list with the "Working Map" for the baove purpose. It is also to be cross-checked that villages/towns included in the newly created tahsil were existing in the tashil (s) from where these have been transferred with reference to the' erstwhile 1981 jurisdiction. In case the newly created-tahsil includes some villages/towns which were not existing in 1981. the matter is to be probed from where these villages/towns have appeared in the ist being generated now by jurisdictions. Cases of doubt should be settled in consultation with State Govt./Local body as usual. After locating all the villages/ Towns as per the new village list on maps. names are to be cross-checked again with the final list at perticular point of time. All Notifications of the State Govt. are to be obtained and these are also to be cross-checked with the "Working Map" and the latest list. Sometimes, it may so happen that while executing the preparation of "Working Maps" in your office as indicated above. you may 'come across certain difficulties to plot/recognise the villages with boundaries on the tahsil/taluk maps. Therefore. in view of the last censuses of 1971/1981, you may like to refer such cases retrospectively to ascertain their positions from the published maps of D.C.H. to locate the villages as per the latect'list which may help ,you to prepare the map, Identification and Tight location of villages is one of the important pre~requistics of census enumeration. As was done in the previous censuses, you are required to obtain authontication on the "Working Map" from the -authorities such as the Deputy Commissioners. District Magistrates/Sub-Divisional Officers(fahsildars alike who are holding charge of such authentication on behalf o,f the Revenue Department. It is further advised that at least two copies of the "Working Map", after you are satisfied about their correctness. are to be prepared for authentication of the maps for the Census propose by the above authorities. you should retain the first authenticated copy in your office and forward the next copy to the Map Division for necessary action. B. District Maps : (a) The district map is to be updated on the basis of the new tahsil boundaries of the concerned districts by taking into consideration all issues as described above. There will be cases where no territorial changes have taken 'place for the district as a whole but transfer of area from one thasil to another might have taken place within the district. In all suth cases, the latest map of {he district with complete tahsil boundaries are to be obtained from the State Govt./Survey Department or other authorities duly authenticated as the cases may be in a similar way as prescribed above in the case of Tahsil and e"quivalent level maps. 49 In effect. the updated district map will show the latest tehsil boundary and location of urban areas and other infrastructure. (b) Cases may come up where a district has gained or lost some area from or to a neighbouring district or an entirely new district might have been carved out from one or two districts of 1981 Census in the State/UT. In such cases. the newly created district map will have to be prepared or procured with relevent details as per the method outlined in the case of tahsil/Taluk maps. In addition, it is to be pross chacked with the latest list and the Notifications that the areas which have been transferred to this newly created district were existing in 1981 in the district(s) from which these have been transferred. This will give you a correct idea of the new set up In relation to the previous census of which you have full information and also help to ascertain the correctness of the new areas thus carved out for the census. After the Census of 1991, such information may be needed for generating some tables on area and population of the new set-up retrospectively. C. Urban Area Maps Concurrently with the work of the rural areas, it is also essential that you develop a good liaison with Corporations, Municipalities. Notified areas etc. for collecting maps showing ward boundaries. As you are aware. we are also concerned with urban agglomerations and out~growths as per 1981 at this juncture. For convenience of population enumeration provided by houselisting and delineation of enumeration areas and charge supervisor areas, it is essential to have large scale maps of all local bodies as well as outgrowthS and components of aggllomerations. It is useful to precure and prepare maps of such units in consultation with local authorities of such areas. The maps should be as up~to-date as possible with utmost details of street patterns, names. layout with boundaries. In some cases. RO.jSenior Geographer/Certographer/Artist and other staff of your office may be required to be deputed to the concerned areas for this purpose. List of names or number of wards. circles are to be collected and identified townwise. D. Building up a State/UT map with new dlstrlcts/tahsils : You might have also received by now the names of districts which have been created after the t 981 Census with their new and lowest administrative units. It is required that such units may be developed on a map on traCing paper with State/UT boundary and a copy may also be forwarded to the Map Division with the complete list for further necessary action with reference to date as applicable. It is possible that more number of districts and thasils may be created till the administrative bounderies ar~ not freezed and hence the information may be collected and checked continuously and communicated to the Census headquartes as well.

No. Z/1 /87 -SS Government of India Ministry of Home Affairs Office of the RegJsnar General, IndIa Kotah House Annexe 2/A. Mansingh Road. New Delhi - 110 all Date : 24-6-88 Census of India t99t-Clrcular No.3 Subject Classification of Rural and Urban Units - 1991 Census My dear. In connection with the 1 99-1 Cen~us, the first and foremost task to be handled b)/ you is the demarcation of places as rural. and urban. The definition of an urban unit at the 19~ 1 Census was as follows: a) All places with a municipality. corporation. cantonment board or notified town area committee. etc. b) All other places which satisfied the following criteria : i) A Iminimum population of 5,000; ii) At least 75 per cent of male working population engaged in non-agriculatural pursuits; and iii) A density of population of at least 400 per sq. km. (1,000 per Sq. mile). Apart from the places to be classified as urban on the basis of the above definition. the Directors were also given some discretionary powers in respect of ~me marginal cases to include. in consultation with the State Governments. some places ,that had other distinct urban characteristics and to exclude certain. areas which could not be considered as urban. 2. It I is proposed to retain the ~e definition at the 1991 Census. as this will ensure comparability with previous Censuses and provide the basis for analysis of trends of urbanisation in the country. The industrial category III. cdmprising the occupation of fishing, livestock, hunting and plantations and orchards. etc. may be treated as allied agricultural activity as In 1981 Census while applying the test of occupation of the male working population mentioned in para 1 (b) (ii) above. The agricultural activity, therefore, includes I - Cultivators, II - Agricultural Labourers and III - Livestocl<. Forestry, Finshing and Plantations, Orchards. etc. 3. All places which have' been notified under the laws relating to the establishment of local authorities and have local bodies like municipal corporations. municipalities. municipal committees. municipal boards. municipal town committees. cantonment boards, notified areas, notified area committees. town committees, town areas. town boards. town municipalities, sanitalY boards, etc. irrespective of their demographic characteristics mllst be included in the list of towns. You should consider all the criteria in para l(b) above, where para 1(a) is not applicable, without the exclusion of one or the other of the three conditions laid down therein. 4. The third criterion giving 'discretionary' powers to the Directors must be restricted in its application. You may. however. include such places that have other distinct urban characteristics and amenities. such as newly founded industrial ar~as and large housing settlements, places of tourist interest. etc. These places are quite often served with all amenities. though they do not satisfy the cirteria laid down for classification as urban. But before treating these areas as urban. each such case should be specifically referred to this Office with full particulars and justification in support of the proposal to enable us to take a suitable decision in the matter. 5. In certain areas some special projects on irrigation, power or other industrial projects have come up which cover one or more villages or part thereof. In case where the area of the project is known. even if the project is of temporal)' nature, it may be treated as a census town provided it satisfies the demographic characteristics. referred to in para 1(b) above. If parts of a village or villages are not covered by the project area. the areas lying Qut side the project area, could be retained in the list of the villages. If a special project area which was treated as ~ census town in 1981 for the first time does not satisfy the above stipulations. it may be declassified. If. however, such a project area is being treated as a census town since 51 1971 or earlier. it would be desirable not to declassify it. In case where a project area nas been conferred a municipal or equivalent status. irrespective of its demographic characteristics. it should be treated as a town under criterion (a) of para 1 above. 6. A district/sub-division/tehsil headquarter should not pe treated as a census town in its right unless it satisfies the usual demographic characteristics mentioned in para 1(b) above. However, all such places which have been treated as census towns since 1971 or earlier may be retained as census towns even if they do not strictly satisfy the demographic characteristics. 7. As already explained in para - 2 my D. O. letter No. 9/12/87-CD '(CLN) dated -the 11th December. 1987, 'workers' will refer to 'Main workers' only. As desired in this circular,' you might have prepared the list showing the percentage of male main workers in Category III for those villages in every tehsil/district which had a population of 4000 and above, where the density of population was atleast 400 persons per Sq. l (V.S.

Director of Census Operations, Assam, Guwahati for similar necessary action. As the Census was not conducted in Assam in 1981 due to disturbed conditions prevailing there at that time. the demographic criteria mentioned in para 1 (b) of the above circular may be applied to villages of 1971 Census. You may consider all rural units having population of 3333 or more at the' 1971 Census which are expected to attain a population of 5000 or more at the 1991 Census. The other two demographic criteria, viz, at least 75% male working population engaged in non-agriculatural pursuits and density of population of atleast 400 per sq. km. may also be applied to 1971 Census population. In view of this, Para-7 of above Circular may be ignored so far as your State is concerned. Further, in Proforma I and II, wherever 1981 Census appears, it may be taken as 1971 Census. (V. S.

No. 2/1/89-SS Government of India Ministry of Home Affairs V. S. Verma, Office of the Registrar Gen'eral, India Registrar General. India 2/A. Mansingh Road. New Delhi Census of India t99t-Clrcular No.4 Subject Census of India 1991 - Formation of Urban Agglomerations My dear Khobragade. I trust that the work on classification of urban units for 1991 Census on the lines suggested in my D. O. No. 2/1/87-55 dated" 24.6.1988 must have been completed by now. You should now take up the work relating to urban agglomerations (U.A.S.) in respect of your State/Union Territory. 2. It has been decided that the concept of urban agglomeration adopted for the 1981 Census will remain valid for the 1991 Census as well. Accordingly an urban agglomeration must form a continuous urban spread constituting a town and its adjoining urban outgrowths (0 Gs) or two or more physically contiguous towns together with continuous well recognised urban outgrowths. if any. of such have come up fairly large. well recognised railway colonies. university campuses. port areas. military campus, etc. and--even though they are outside the statutory limits of the corporation, municipality or cantonment. they fall with the revenue limits of the village or villages which is or are contiguous to the town. It may not be realistic to treat such areas lying outside the statutory limits of a town as rural units; at the same time each such individual area by itself may not satisfy the minimum population limit to qualify it to be treated as an independent urban unit. Such areas deserve to be reckoned alongwith the towns and the continuous spread including such urban out growths would deserve to be treated as an integrated urban area. Each such agglomeration may be made up of more than one statutory town adjoining one another such as a municipality and the adjoining cantonment and also other adjoining urban outgrowths such as a railway colony. university campus. etc. Such outgrowthS which did not qualify to be treated as individual towns in their own right should be treated as urban appendages of the units to which they are contiguous. 3. The following- are the possible different situations in which urban agglomerations would be constituted: (i) a city or town with a continuous outgrowth (the part of growth being outside the statutory limits but falling within the boundaries of the adjoining village or villages) (ii) two or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths as in (i) above ; and (iii) a city and one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths all of which form a continuous spread. In varying local conditions there could be similar other combinations which could be treated as agglomerations, the basic consideration of contiguity having been satisfied. The area consitituting an urban agglomeration may keep on changing from Census to Census depending upon the changing boundaries of the statutorily notified main urban unit as well as the extent of other urban outgrowths. 4. There are some instances in the past when some parts of villages though not contiguous to the city/ town were included in the urban agglomeration on the ground that in a few years the area would become contiguous. This is not correct as the intention in delineating the urban agglomeration is to take into account the present urban spread only. [The potentiality of development of urban growth in the next decade or two is being separately covered under the concept of Standard Urban Area). Particular care should, therefore, be taken to determine the urban outgrowths of towns. while delineating the urban- agglomerations there may not be any problem in case of statutory bodies. viz.. towns, which are contiguous to the main city/town. The following aspects should be kept in mind before determining urban outgrowth in relation to a town and 55 urban agglomerations in general : (i) If there is some uninhabited area between an urbanised village or villages and the statutory limit of a town, the villages should not be treated as an urban outgrowth to constitute an urban ~gglomeration with the town as they wili not form a contiguous spread with the town on account of intervening uninhabited area. (ii) If there is a town in proximity to a core town but not actually contiguous to it, being separated by intervening rural area, these towns should not form an urban agglomeration. They will be considered as forming ~n urban agglomeration only if the intervening rural area has pronounced urban features, qualifying it to be considered as an urban outgrowth. (iii) While determining the urban outgrowth of a town, it should be ensured that it possesses the requisite urban features ,in term of infrastructure, viz., the characteristics' and amenities.' The outgrowth should be a viable unit such as a village or a hamlet or an enumeration blocl< and identifiable in relation to its boundaries and location. (iv) In case of a revenue village(s) which is being treated as an outgrowth of a town, the code number of the revenue village and the name may appear in the rural frame in the PCA for cross reference that the particulars are given under the relevant urban agglomeration. Likewise. where only a part of the village is included in the urban agglomeration as an outgrovvth, the data relating to the portion which has been treated as part of the urban outgrowth will be presented under the urban agglomeration, while the data relating to the rest of the village will be presented in the usual manner in the rural frame. (v) While framing the urban agglomeration with its constituent units including outgrowths, care should be taken to see that an enumeration block does not cut across the boundaries of a town and its outgrowth. In other words, such outgrowths should be constituted into a seperate block or blocks depending on size. The serial number of these blocks will follow the pattern adopted in the appropriate charge and they may be assigned the serial numbers following the end of the series of the charge so that they are easily recognisable. All these blocks will be shown in the Charge Registers of the concerned city or town. (vi) Leaving aside the urban agglomerations of some big cities like Calcutta, Madras and Bombay. which have special administrative set up, and where the constitutent units of the agglomeration are spread over more than one district, as far as possible care should be taken to see that an urban agglomeration is not spread beyond the boundaries of the- district. This is to avoid problems of tabulation specially in the case of migration tables. If any such new cases were to arise, the matter should be finalised in consultation with this Office. 5. It will be advisable to make a personal visit to verify on the ground whether an area being considered for delineation as an agglomeration possesses the necessary characteristics and satisfies the conditions of urbanisation, contiguity and viability. 6. For maintaining comparability with t 981 Census data, it would be deSirable to ensure that a place included in an urban agglomeraion of 1981 is not tal 7. While the t~al agglomeration may be treated as one continuous urban spread for the purpose of overall size classification and analysis of the urban data, in exhibiting the primary population figures, it is important to give the break up for each component unit of the agglomeration. The method of presentation in 1981 Census ~y be followed. 8. In reckoning the total number of towns (as distinguished from agglomerations) all individual urban areas that are reckoned as towns in their own right should be treated as separate towns. The urban outgrowths which do not qualify to be treated as towns in their own right can not be counted as individual towns but only as appendages of another recognised town forming an agglomeration, the basic figures of the main town and such appendages being invariably exhibited separately together with the total for each agglomeration. 9. An urban agglomeration as such will not have a code number. While individual towns will be allotted individual code numbers in roman figures taking all the towns in a district as one series, the urban outgrowths not qualifying to be treated as towns in their own right need not be given independent code numbers in the town series but they may be allotted sub-numbers or alphabets to the location code number 56 of the town to which t]:ley are appended. This may facilitate compilation of data for the integrated urban area. 10. The urban outgrowth must be enumerated by the Charge Officer of the urban area. The Charge Officer of the rural area concerned should ensure that this urban outgrowth which is included within the urban agglomeration is not inadvertently covered again as part of the rural area. It is also necessary to ensure tllat a reference is available in both the urban and rural charge registers concerned so that one is able to find out to which village an urban outgrowth belongs. 11. The urban agglomeration may please be delineated in your state on the lines of the above instructions and the particulars be· sent to the Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) in the Proformae I and II enclosed. latest by 30.6.1989. A notional map of each of the proposed urban agglomeration with its constituent units may also be prepared and sent alongwith the proformae to facilitate scrutiny. 12.

SubJect: Delineatidn of standard urban Areas - '1991 C~nsus·. My dear Khobragade, 1. As you know. the concept of the ·Stand.;trd Urban Area' .(S.UA) was acjopted for the· first time in 1971 for reporting CE;nsus data fqr spatially continous. set of ur~an and rural settlements. The standard yrban <\rea was defined as the projecte,d growth area pf a city or town having 50.000 or mor~ population in 1971. as it would be in 1991. taking into account not only the towns .and villages whjch will get merged il1to it Qut also the intervening areas which are potentially urban. Thus, it was along-term planl'\ing area and was to remain as a statistical reporting unit during the three sU'ccessive censuses - 1971. 1981 and 1991. 2. fn 1971 Census. 304 SUAs were delineated throughout the country on the basis of 1'961 Census population of towns and by projecting their population for 1971. In 1981 Census. 28 additional SUAs were delineated in consulation with the Town Planning Deptts. of states concerned in respect of those core towns having a population of 50,000 or above for which rio SUAs were delineated in 1971 for such reasons as their limited growth potential or in whose case the population projections made earlier were lower but which exceeded a population of 50.000 on the basis of the actual 1971 enumeration. In the light of the concept of standard urban areas, no fresh delineations of SUAs are to be made now on the basis of projected or 1991 Census population. 3. ·As the standard urban area has to serve the need for ,urban development planning besides functioning as a constant statistical repo'rting unit, you may' plelse ensure the existing boul1daries of the standard urban area are not disturbed, 'as far as possible. The propoSals' for changes, where absolutely necessary. should be made in consulation with the Town Planning Dep,tt. of ypur State. 4. It would, however, .be necessary to .:take into .consideratipn statutory annexation of .settlements from outside the Standard Urban Area limits to any of the existing urban components of a Standard Urban Area. The concept of SUA does not warrant subsequent changes in SUA boundary but as a result of the State Govt's. dedsion statutorily affecting the jurisdiction of the town, Je have to modify the SUA boundary to accommodate such statutory extension of the urban units. It is, therefore, necessary that in such cases the existing SUA boundary is rationalised, in consultation with the State Town and country Planning Department. 5. The urban agglomeratipn (UA) of a city/town shows the urban spread of the core town. The SUA is a wider unit which depicts not only the present urban spread but potentiality of the urban spread of the core town over a period of time. The UAs are, therefore, required to be covered by the relevant SUA. In case of UAs. however. the component units may include a few OGs in addition to independent towns. The OG(s) is virtually the extension of the town to which it is appended in conformity with the urban spread. The UAs are. therefore, - required to be accommodated within the SUA boundary in a manner as to ensure that the OG of a toy.on does not fall beyond the SUA boundary when the component town is located within the SUA boundary. It would be necessary to accommodate such OGs which are spatially contiguous to the component town within the relevant SUA limit. This would, therefore. require minor modification in the SUA limit to ensure that the relevant UA and its component units do not cut across the relevant SUA. The SUAs formed in t 971-81 in your state may, therefore, be screened in relation to the UAs formed in 1991 and changes be made, wherever necessary. 6. There may. however. be a number of changes within the SUA in relation to the component units. These' may be of the following type : 5-53 RGIIND/96 60 (a) Merger of existing rural component wholly or partially with one or more of the urban components. (b) Merger of existing OG(s)/any other component unit with the core town or any other component town. (c) Formation 'of new town(s)/OG(s) for 1991 Census from amongst the existing rural components. (d) Formation of new rural components or OGs from amongst towns of 1981 falling in the SUA owing to declassification of the latter In 1991. {~} others While drawing up the list of component units in respect of SUA(s), the above and related situations should be carefully examined. 7. As a result of the conversion of rural components i~to urban components owing to urbanisation and/ or annexation of settlements from outside the SUA limit to the core town, it may be possible in a few census that the SUA limit and the limit of the core town of the SUA become co-termi~ous. The SUA having their boundaries co-terminous with the boundaries of the core town will be continued with changed position in t 99 t . 8. Your proposals on each SUA in the light of the above instructions may please be formulated immediately after completion of the work relating to classification of urban units and formation of urban agglomerations. The proposals for SUAs in respect of your State/Union Territory may please be sent to Dy. Registrar General (Social Studies) latest by 30.9.1989.

I am directed to say that the next decennial population census would be conducted under the direction of the Registrar General ~ Census Commissioner for' India in February - March. J 991. To ensure complete coverage at the census. the entire country will be divided into small enumerator's blocks within. the frame work of the administrative units in the states and Union Territories. The process of determining the blocks has to start much in advance of the actual census and they will be got marked on the census maps to obviate overlapping or omission of ·areas. Infact. monitoring of jurisdictional changes after 1981 census is being done by the State Census Directorates with a view to updating the census maps. 2. I need hardly say that for the efficient conduct of the census operations. it is necessary to ensure that the boundaries of the administrative units are not disturbed after the blocks have be~n determined and until the census enumeration and tabulation of a data are completed. It is expected that the demarcation of blocks for houselisting operations would be taken in hand from 1st October. 1989. The houselisting operations constitute an important preliminary field work of the census. to be carried out in April-May. 1990 through out the country. 3. If the areas of the administrative units on the basis of which the census data are collected. are altered considerably soon after the census. the usefulness of the data. you will doubtless appreciate.would be considerably reduced. Hence. wherever any changes in the jurisdiction of the present administrative units are found necessary. it would be desirable to effect the changes well before the enumerator's blocks are demarcated. i.e. before 1st October. 1989. 4. In the circumstances. it is requested that all proposals for reconstituting an administrative area or making adjustments in the jurisdiction of munidpalities. revenue villages. tehsils/taluks/police stations/Circles/CD.

New Delhi - 110011 March 12. 1990 My dear Senapathi Please refer to Census Circular No. 5 regarding delineation of Standard Urban Areas for the 1991 Census. In this Circular. it had been indicated that the boundaries of SUAs should be I 2. We have received proposals from some Directorates indicating the need to ~hange the boundaries of certain SUAs to accommodate the entire urban spread of the concerned UAs which has grown beyond the boundaries of the !?aid SUAs so as to keep such spill over urban areas within the limits of SUAs. Such proposals have been examined carefully and it has' been felt that if the SUA bo~ndary Is allowed to be changed in this fashion. the whole purpose for which these were delineated would be defeated. 3. In view of the above. it has now been decided that in no circumstances the boundary of SUA should be disturbed during the 1991 Census. Wherever the urban spread of UAs has transcended the boundaries of SUAs the data relating to the spill over urban areas and those lying within the SUA boundary should be given separately. For this purpose EBs have to be so formed as to obtain these data separately. In other words no EB should cut across the SUA boundary. The boundary of SUA which has been delineated at the time of 1981 Census should be treated as such for the 1991 Census as well. This approach would solve the problem of having· to changp. the boundary of SUA to accommodate the urban spread of UAs which has grown beyond the SUA limits. 4. This would. however. need slight modification in the format of A-5 Table which had been adopted for the 1981 Census. A modified version of A-5 Table for presentation of data separately for rural and urban areas lying within the SUA boundary and those .contiguous urban areas lying outside the SUA boundary will be sent in due course. Similarly. instructions in regard to the preparation of maps of SUAs in the light of this new approach will be communicated separately by Map Division of my office. The SUA proposals may now please be sent keeping in view of the present approach. A copy of the revised format in which the SUA proposals are to be sent is also enclosed. 5.

As you are aware. the preparation for 1991 Census are in full swing. The Houselisting Operations will be carried out throughout the country during the period April-September. 1990 according to a calendar drawn for each state/union territory. The houselisitng operations have already been started in some of the state/union territories. In the letter referred to above. the importance of fixity of boundaries of administrative units was explained. In this country. we have been adopting the existing administrative units of districts.

The preliminary operation house numbering and houselisting has already commenced in' some state and will be conducted according to a calendar of operations drawn for each state this year. The entire Census work including houselisting is being conducted through the state government. The success of the Census depends on close supervision and coordination. It is a highly controlled exercise where attention to detail and complete familiarity with jurisdictions of the officers concerned are necessary. All officers including the Collectors/Dupty Commissioners. TehsiJdars. Sub-divisional Officers. Block Development Officers and others particularly school teachers. are being trained in this work.

Subject Preparation of Standard Urban Area Maps for State/Union Territory. for 1991 Census. My Dear. This circular reiates to the preparation of standard Urban Area maps which are to be included in the part II-A volume alongwith the A-V table for 1991 Census. The concept of-'Standard Urban Area' (SUA) adopted for the Census has already been clarified vide Census Circula!; No. 5 of 1989. Some modification in the concept considering the situations as have emerged regarding the delineation of SUA were also made and communicated to you under my demi-official letter No.l/1/89-SS dated 12th March. t990. 2. I am sure that by now the exercises on specific SUA delineations are over and your office is now firm on the composition. of rural/urban areas for the 1991 Census. In 1981. a comprehensive programme on the mapping of SUAs in each State/Union Territory was carried out and published in the State/Union Territory. Part II-A. The attempt to map out the SUAs 'of 1991 will be continued on a definite planning to bring out such maps supporting the Table A-V' for which this circular spells out the 'following instructions. 3. The maps of SUAs should be precise and c1~ar. Indiv\dual maps will depict the following items as specified in the "model" of Dehra Dun:- (i) The over all boundary of the SUA concerned with ,alignment of (I.A/O.G. and rural components; (ii), The bpundaf1es of administrative levels are to be shown if SUA cov,ers more than one State/ district/tehsil/P.S./C.D. Blocks/Mandai, etc. ,and a!s<:;> the Intemation~1 boundary if the SUA is adjacent to the international border of the country; . .(iii) The core town/city/urban ~gglomeration with boundaries as per -the 1991 Census: (iv) Village boundaries (inhabited and uninhabited) with ·thelr code, numbers according to the 1991 Census; (v) Means of transport and communications such as railways. road etc.; (vi) Built-up/area of the core town/city/U.A.: (vii) Forests (reserved and unreserved); (viii) Plantation/orchards: (ix) Water bodies such as lakes and tanks; (x) Rivers and tributaries name witlrdirection of flow; I (xi) Administrative headquarters. if any. (e.g. District/Tehsil/Taluka/C.D. BlockjMandaI/P.S. Headquarters) with specific symbols as indicated in Annexure - I; (xii) Growth of population during 1981-91 for each of the rural and urban components of SUA : also growth of population of the total SUA by rural and urban in a diagram in an index form on the map. 4. For compilation of SUA map. It would be appropriate first to prepare an outline base map approximately on the scale of 1:50.000 (1 em = 500 M; or 1" = 1 mile) to initially work out the above details which could be conveniently reproduced in an appropriate manner in the size A-4 of the volume. The linear scale in kilometres should be indicated below the title of the map. All other patterns of the lay-out of the 72 identification and components of the SUA need to be shown as outlined above in items (i) to (:xii). The use of topographical sheets supplied earlier by the Map Division will be immense help to you. In addition. the originals of the 1981 SUA maps may also be helpful to enable you to build up the map of the 199 t series. 5. On the base map of SUA. thus prepared. please delineate the administrative boundaries of all levels applicable to the SUA concerned with appropriate symbols as indicated in the standard legend to the SUA mapping (Annexure-I). On such a base map, please mark the village boundaries. and the bondaries of core town/urban agglomeration and outgrowth (O.G.) as in 1991 with name. In view of, the modifications contained in my demi official letter no. 1/1/89-SS dated 12th March, 1990. a situation may come where mapping of the spill-over areas (trancended areas to the SUA boundaries) will be necessitated due to the urban spread in 1991 in continuation either due to extension of the core town or O.Gs. with reference to 1981. In this situation. as decided earlier. the boundary of SUA in 1991 may not change but the spill-over areas in continuation are to be shown on the map in relation to the boundary of SUA. In this situation the spill-over areas (rural or urban) beyond the fixed SUA boundary will be givrn its name with status, if any, alo,ngwith code number. In' addition it is quite possible that some new towns or O.G. may be formed within the SUA limit and. as such. these new components will be delineated with boundaries name and code number of 1991 Census. This precaution may be taken- at the time of preparation of SUA maps. The uninhabited villages will be distinguished by giving a symbol 'X' within their boundaries with code number. For urban centres. the actual built-up area is to be shown by a definite symbol (see Annexure-I) tQ indicate the settlement spread as per the information collected in the 1991 Census ; other areas with the statutory limit of the town/OG will be shown by specific symbol (lOb) of the standard legend. 6. It may be noted that in a few SUAs there may be significant areas under plantation/orchards and forests, (reserved and unreserved). These should also be reflected by suitable symbols in the SUA maps (see Annexure-I). The nature of plantation/orchards may be specified. as far as possible, e.g. tea/coffee etc. Please given names of reserved fore~ts if they are named in the records. Water bodies such· as rivers -with tributaries to be shown with name and direction of flow. However. it is to be ensured that maps may not be congested at the publication size and accordingly selection of lettering sizes and symbolic representation on maps should be taken up appropriately. 7. Besides the above details. transport network e.g.. railways (broad gague, metre gauge, narrow gauge) with stations. national highways. state highways (with numbers) and other roads. may be shown by the specified symbols (see Annexure-I) on the SUA map.

My Dear Tapan, In Census Circular No. 5 and in my demi-official letter of even number dated the 12th March. 1990. the procedure for delineation of Standard Urban Areas for the 1991 Census was indicated. The present circular relates to the presentation of data in A-5 Table of Part - II-A. General Population Tables. The format of this table is already included in the final Tabulation Plan for the 1991 Census, but a copy of the same is sent herewith for ready reference. 2. While presenting the urban component units under column 2 of Table A-5, the independent towns "rflay be indicated by numerals like (1), (2) (3) ...... and the outgrowths may be shown ,with Roman numbers (i), (ii), (iii), ...... under the respective towns to which they belong. 3. The manner of presentation of data in Table A-5 will more or less be the same, as in the 1981 Census except that the particulars of urban spill-over, if any, are to be shown separately in part (b) for each SUA. The sequence of total/urban/rural may be followed unlformaly throughout the .table by firsf Indicating the urban units and then the rural units in part (a) for each SUA. Detailed instructions for presentation of particulars of Standard Urban Areas and their component units are provided at Annexure-I. 4. The guidelines to be followed for presentation of SUA data in A-5 Table are given below : (i) Wherever the urban/rural components of SUA relating to the 1991 Census do not differ from those of the 1981 Census, their 1961, ~971 and 1981 population may be reproduced in column numbers 16, 17 and 18 from the corresponding Table A-5 of the 1981 Census without making any adjustment. (ii) Wherever the town(s) OG(s) which were included In the 1981 SUA frame have now been merged with some other component town(s) (say to form a corporation or a municipality). the 1961. 1971 and 1981 population of such towns/OGs in columns 16. 17 and 18 appearing in Table A-S of the 1981 Census may be added to the respective towns to which the town(s)/OG(s) have since merged. (iii) If any town/OG which has appeared In the 1981 urban frame of the SUA has since become rural. the same should automatically appear as a rural component in the 1991 SUA frame. The urban population recorded for 1961. 1971 and 1981 in respect of such units need not be reflected now in the rural frame. However. the "Total urban" population of the SUA inclusive of population of such units may be given in parenthesJs for 1961. 1971 and 1981 censuses as was done in A-5 Table of the 1981 Census. The position may be explained suitably either in the fly-leaf of the table or with the help of a footnote at an appropriate place. Similarly. if a rural component of 1981 SUA frame has become an urban component or an OG in the 1991 SUA frame. its 1961. 1971 and 1981 population which had appeared in A-5 Table of 1981 need not be reflected now in the urban frame in regard to such units as these were not enjoying urban status earlier. The rural 6-53 RGI/ND/96 76 population of such units may be reflected in 'Total Rural' in parenthesis for the t 96 t. 1971 and 1981 censuses. This aspect may also be explained in an appropriate manner in the fly-leaf or by a footnote. (iv) Wherever urbah components (towns/OG(s) of 1981 SUA have partly merged with some other town which was already an urban component of the 1981 SUA frame. attempt should be made to provide the population figures of the portion merged for the census years 1961. 1971 and 1981 alongwith the present 1991 Census population of the town with which the same has merged. The population of the unmerged portion (which may be a town or OG) is to be shown separately. However, In case where the population of the merged portion for the earlier census years is not readily available then the population figures of the whole town for the census years 1961. 1971 and 1981 may be shown against the unmerged portion of the concerned town. Similarly. in case of the rural components of 1981 which nave now partly merged with some towns or appear as OG in the SUA frame of 1991. their relevant population for the census years of 1961. 1971 and 1981 may be shown against the unmerged portion of the concerned rural units which will continue in 1991. This may also be explained appropriately either in the fly-leaf or with the help of a suitable footnote. (v) Wherever the urban components (fown/OG) whi~h are not covered by the 1981 SUA frame but are now shown as urban spill-overs in part (b), the urban population of such units may be shown under columns 16, 17 and 18, in part (b). If any of the urban spill-over (town/OG) area was rural in earlier census(es). in that case a dash (-) may be indicated under the relevant columns on the basis of their population returned at the earlier censuses. <. 5., The formats given at Annexures II &.. III to this Circular may be included in the fly-leaf/analytical write up to Table A-5 in the form of inset tables. The instructions on the compilation and presentation of data for these inset tabels have been given in respective Annexure below each format. 6 The fly-leaf/analytical write-up to A-5 table may contain brief particulars on the following aspect: i) 'Standard Urban Area-its history and definition including criteria for its delineation, ii) List of Standard Urban Areas of the State/Union Territory. iii) Inset tables as shown at Annexures-ll &.

Subject Planning for the 1991 Census - Jurisdictional changes and list of Villages. Sir, Kindly refer to Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India's letter No. 9/12/87-CD(CEN) dated 24th June, 1987 on the subject stated above addressed to this Directorate with a copy endorsed to you. The thirteenth all-India Census will be conducted in the beginning of 1991. As you are aware the Census aims to enumerate as at the Census date all individuals in the country, once and only now without omission or duplication. These individuals live in some area or the other either by themselves or in clusters. In order. therefore, to achieve a complete coverage at the Census, it is absolutely necessary to prepare a list of villages/localities and other areas comprising the whole State. We have been following the administrative set-up for most of our statistical activities including the population Census. OUf State is divided into districts, each district into subdivisions, police stations, Mouzas and development blocks and below this level we have our villages and towns. There may have been jurisdictional changes between 1981 and now and there may be in the coming months and if there have been these have not come to our knowledge. We would be grateful if Government's final decision on the creation of new administrative units, subdivisions, municipalities or town committees and development blocks are communicated and the notifications delineating or modifying the areas or boundaries are furnished to this Directorate at an early date. We are furnishing list of villages according to t 981 Census to the respective Block Development Officers with the request that they would carefully checl< and up-date this list of villages within their jurisdiction and send back the same to this Directorate duly Signed and certified by them. The village lists comprise both inhabited and un-inhabited ones. Within a village there are also hamlets or localities and these should be clearly indicated as falling under such and such village. Under no circumstances whatsoever should a village get merged with another village. However small it is, a village retains its identity in its own right and should appear separately in the list. It is to be remembered that any incompleteness in building up our frame on the basis of these lists will have serious consequences. Hence extreme care should be tAken to ensure accuracy. You may be quite aware that the preparation of the 1991 Census has to be completed well !Ii time. Any dilatory step at any stage will hamper the work and upset the programme. In fact. we have to strictly adhere to the all-India programme for the 1991 Census. In the Census. it has been the tradition to operate through the State Government departments. Without the willing cooperation of the officers of the State Government and the local bodies it would have been impossible for the Census organisation to conduct the decennial census. It is customary for the State Government to issue a circular requesting the different departments and local bodies to help the Census Organisation in this important national task. A copy of such circular may kindly be forwarded to this Directorate. The matter may kindly be accorded top priority. Yours faithfully. Sd/- (D.P. Khobragade) Dy. Director of Census Operations.

Town &... Country Planning. Meghalaya. Shillong. t 99 t Census - Circular No.3. Sub Delineation of Standard Urban Area 1991 Census. Sir. As you are aware. the Shillong Standard Urban Area was delineated in Meghalaya in 191-1· and the same underwent minor modification in 1981 with the addition of Pynthorumkhrah and Madanrtil}g in urban component and Rynjah lapalang and Umpling in the rural component. This was done in consultation with your department during the 1981 Census. As the SUA has to serve the need for urban development planning besides functioning as a constant statistical reporting unit. the existing boundaries of Shi1lof\8 SUA may not be disturbed as far as possible. It WOUld. however. be necessary to take into consideration statutory annexation of settlements from outside the SUA limits to any of the existing urban components of the Shillong SUA. The concept of SUA does not warrant subsequent changes in SUA boundary but as a result. if any. of the State Government's decision statutorily affecting the jurisdiction of the town. we have to modify the SUA boundary to accommodate such statutory extension of the urban u.lits. It is. therefore. necessary that in such cases the existing Shillong SUA boundary is rationalised. The Shillong urban agglomeration shows the urban spread of the care town viz .. Shillong Municipality. The SUA is a wider unit which depicts not only the present urban spread but potentially of the urfjan spread of the core town over a period of time. Thus the Shillong urban agglomeration is. therefore. required to be covered by the Shillong Standard Urban Area. In case of Shillong Urban Agglomeration. however. the component units may include a few outgrowth in addition to independent towns. The outgrowths is virtually the extension of the town to which it is appended in conformity with the urban spread.' The. urban Agglomeration is. therefore. required to be accommodated within the SUA boundary in a mi\n.per as to ensure that the outgrowth of a town does not fall beyond the SUA boundary. It would be nec¢Ssary to accommodate such outgrowths which are spatially contiguous to the component town within the SUA limit. This would. therefore. require minor modification in the SUA limit to ensure that the urban agglomeMtion and its component units do not cut across the SUA. The Shillong Standard Area formed in 1971-81 in~this State may. therefore. be kindly screened and changes be made whenever necessary. . There may. however. be a number of changes within the SUA in relation to the component units. These may be of the following type : (a) Merger of existing rural component wholly or partialy with one or more of the urban components. (b) Merger of existing outgrowths/any other component unit with the core town or any other component. (c) Formation of new town/outgrowth for 1991 Census from amongst the existing rural components. (d) Others. While drawing up the list of component units in respect of Shillong SUA. the above and re~ated situations should be carefully examined. As a result of the conversion of rural components into urban components owing to urbanisation and/or 88 connection of settlements from outside the SUA unit of the core town, it may be possible in a few cases that the SUA limit and the limit of the core town of the SUA become co-terminous. The SUA having its boundaries co-terminous with the boundaries of the core town will be continued with changed position in 199t. Your proposals on Shillong SUA in the light of the above guide lines may please be formulated at your earliest convenience and sent to this office. For your ready reference the list showing the component units of Shillong SUA in 1971 and 1981 is appended. The receipt of this letter may please be acknowledged. Yours faithfully, Dy.

Sir, As a preparatory step for the 1991 Census, we are compiling list of urban areas in the State with a view to differentiate between rural and urban areas.

Kindly refer to Registrar General's letter No. 18/6/88/SS dated September 20. 1989 addressed to you with a copy endorsed to this office for follow up action. The importance of District Census Handbooks which contain grassroot level statistical data on demographic characteristics. Civic and other amenities in villages and towns can hardly the denied and the publication of these data is an essential aid for district level planning and administration. The data presented in these District Census Handbooks are tabulated and compiled by this Directorate on behalf of the State Govt. As has been the practice in the past Censuses. the District Census Handbooks are State Government's publications. that is to say. the cost of printing are borne by the State Govt. This time also. it is hoped. the State Govt. will approve to meet the cost of printing------of these volumes. Past experience shows that the publication of these District Census Handbooks was delayed inordinately due to several reasons. To avoid unnecessary delay in bringing out the publication of these volumes the following measures may kindly be considered. 1. The number of copies of each District Census Handbooks required by the State Govt. may be decided well in advance and the quantum of paper required for their printing may be procured on time, that is, before the manuscripts are sent to the press. 2. The Director of Printing and Stationery may be requested to take up the printing of the District Census Handbooks as soon as the manuscripts are received by him. In case the District Census Handbooks are to be printed in private presses necessary decision may be taken in advance in this regard. Accordingly. the press/ presses where these are to be printed may be identified so that the manuscripts could be despatched to such presses on time. 3. A decision may be taken well in advance to fix the price of the District Census Handbooks at a reasonable rate by th~ Director of Printing and Stationery in consultation with this office. The preparatory work relating to district Census Handbooks of 1991 Census has already been started by this Directorate. I would. therefore. request you to kindly convey your kind approval to meet the cost of printing of these volumes to this Office for onward transmission to the Registrar General.

Administrative Officer/Chairman, lowai/Nongstoin/Williamnagar/Baghmara. All 5.0.0. (Sub-Divisional Census officer). 1991 Census - Circular No.9. Sub Formation of census Divisions-Delienation of Rural and Urban Houselisting Blocks. Sir, Your kind attention is invited to circular No. II issued vide this office letter of even No. dated 12.12.1989, wh~rein it 'Was requested to issue appointment letters to "II the charge officer within your jurisdictio!,) ! The Most important step is the delienation of houselisting blocks. This would be done by the charge officers. Generally, an enumeration block in the rural areas would cover at le~st' 750 population or t 50 households. But for houselisting purposes it was considered that larger population should be covered, that is, 1000 Population in each hQuselisting block. Considering the sparce location of our villages and their population content. you may have to constitute fNery village whether big or small where the population/does not exceeQ 1000 as one housellstlng block. In cases where villages with Sl,TlaU' poplllatiGln are adja~ent to each other and whe~ the population of sueh villages if taken together woul~ 'noi" 'exCeed 1000. such villages. though constituted Into separate blocks. may togather be entrusted to.'a single ellumerator in order to ratiQ"~Ii$e the WQrk load. In ottter words. In such cases More than one hQuse.lIsting block may be entrusted tQ c;m~ enumerator. I" cases of pig v1l1age$ where ~ population exceeds 1000 It will have to be constituted Into two' Qr more housell~t1ng ~Iocks. If i\ Village consists of one Of more Ilamlets, irrespective of the size of these hamlets. it is desirable to divide the area of the village into' blocks so that each hamlet is constituted into a separate blQCk. In such cases, one enumerator can be placed ifl charge of ,all the component hamlets of the village despite their being constituted into separate blocks if the population is not likely to ,exceed 1000. For every five enumerators there would be one supervisor and the area of five enumerators over which he supervises is called Supervisior's Circle. These supervisors would be directly responsible to the Charge Officers. In regard to Urban areas, each town may be divided into wards or localities and each ward or locality may again be divided into houselisting blocks which taken together or separateIY,,_would cover about 1000 population under one enumerator. For small town like Jowai. Madanrting, Shillong Cantonment, Pynthorumkhrah, Cherrapunji, Nongstoin, William nagar. Tura and Baghmara each towns may constitute a single charge under an officer who would be designated as town Census Officer. While dividing the town into the wards/localities and house listing blocks are must be ensured that the dividing lines are clearly identifiable along certain pennanent features like Roads or drain/nu/las and that each houselisting block could be identified easily and there is' no confusion as to the area of each houseJisting block. The remaining towns viz. ShiUong Municipalty. Nongthymmai and Mawlai may be divided into two charges or more depending on the area of the town. Here also care must be ensured that the dividing lines are clearly identifiable and there is no confusion as to the area of each charge. 109 The delienation of houselisting blocks cannot. however. be done on a firm basis. By taking the populatiun figure of each village/town as. per 1981 ,Census and adding 30% increase we may be able to arrive at approximate population and work out houselisting blocK so that the work load is not disproportionate among the enumerators. \ You may be awar~ that we are collecting data of vital events like birth and death in ~ome select~d aTeas both rural and urban through Sample Registration Scheme. The Sample Registra~ion Sc~.eme th~t is. S.RS. i~ a scheme introduced by the ~vt. of India for obtaining veriable estimates of vital events among people living in selected areas called the S.R.S. units which are spread all over the count!)' including the State of Meghalaya. We are having 85 S.R.S. units in Meghalaya. 65 rural and 20 urban and the. list of such units is enclosed herewith for your kind information. It is. therefore. necessary to keep the S.R.S. units however small In tact while carving out the houselisting block. both in rural and urban areas. If it is found that the S.R.S. unit has more than toDD population for Qne houselisting blocks. it could t be divided into two blocks without tagging other hOllses ,falling outside the blocks or one part of it should, be .tagg~d~ wtth another block. In other words. a non S.R.S. area should under no circumstances be tagged with an S.R.S. block for 'forming a houselisting bloCk. There are three S.R.S. units in (ural areas viz.. Shangpung, Umsning and Nongpoh which are carved out from the village respectively, that is to say, the S.R.S. units carved out do not cqver the entire village and the remaining part of the ,!illage re,mains the outside S.R~. units. The areas falling out the S.R.S. units have to form another separa~e blo~k. Our staff will assist you in identifying these units. Similarly, the S.R.S. units in the urban areas will be kept in tact and our staff will assist you in identifying these units. In urban areas, the National Sample Survey Department. Shillong. have carved out the urban Frame I Survey blocks called the U.F.S. blocks in each town of the State. For carving out the houselisting blocks in the town we may adopt the U.F;S. bl9Qks by making adjustments in their boundaries wherever found necessa!),. The t-Jational Sample Survey Office stationed at Shillong will assist us in the matter. Receipt of this circular may kindly be acknowledge. Yours faithfully, (D.P. Khobragade) Dy.

All Charge Officers. 199( Censu~ - Circular No. 12. Sub. : 1991 Census training for supervisor's and enumerators. Sir. The success of the Census depends enormously on the efficiency of the enurner,ltion agency and ,this in turn depends on how efficiently the enumerators and the supervisors rave been trained by us in the instructions and other aspects of the Census. Training should be intense an\l should include.; both theoretical and practical aspects. The first phase of the training was organised at two places viz .. at Shillong on 24.1.1990 and at Tura on 29.1.1990. In this training. the Chairmen/Administrative officers of Munipalities. Cantonment and Town Committees. the LA.Cs. and the B.D.Os were trained. The second phase of the training will be meant for enl)merators and supervisors. They should be trained immediately after they have been appointed in each town or CD. Block. It will be the responsibility of the Charge Officer to train them intensively. Some of the guidelines for arrangement of training classes for enumerators and surervisors are given below : 1. Each Charge officer will hold at least two rounds of training for the enumerators and the supervisors including those in reserve. The charge officer must ensure that each enumerator and supervi~or attc;nds both rounds of the training. For this purpose. an attendance/training register should be maintained. If some enumerators and supervisors have not attended the training due to some unavoidable reasons. the ch;uge officers would organise special classes for them ILlter on. 2. During the training classes. the instructions should b,e read through word by word and no attempt should be made to adopt short-cut methods. The practical training is most essential and should in no case be avoided. For this purose red forms except notional map/lay-out s.ketch which wouid be in black ink supplied by this office should be used. Requisite number of training forms are enclosed herewith for distribution to enumerators and supervisors. The charge officer should give suitable examples and illustrLltion on the blackboard. 3. Both Houselist and Enterprise list forms will be taken up at the training. At no stage the enumerators and supervisors should be told that these are two different operations. It should be continuously emphasized that both are same operations. 4. The size of the training class by and large should not be more than 40 trainees including both enumerators and supervisors. The charge officer will have to form batches where the number of enumerators and supervisors exceeds 40. The size of the class will obviously. be smaller in certain charges where only a few enumerators have been appointed for the entire charge. In such cases. it may be ensured that the enumerMors and supervisors are out together in one batch. 5. Training may be arranged at a central place so that the enumerators arid the supervisors, may not be required to travel long distances to reach the place of training. Where it is not possible. the charge officer 117 may divide the whole charge into a number of training centres depending upon local conditions. 6. An officer of this office and of the Directorate of economics and statistics will attend the training class in each charge on the date fixed by the Charge Officer to help in imparting the training but the initial responsibility will be of the charge officer. 7. During the training classes the enumerators may be told to go round the block entrusted to him and contact the local leaders. such as Headmen. Nol (T. senapati) Director of Census Operations.

These will be despatched to you by our special messenger by 1st week of April, 1990 Kindly see that these materials are disributed in time to various charge officers of your district.

All Census Officers including supervisors and enumerators may kindly be instructed to preserve the instruction booklets carefully till the end of the Houslisting Operations as the same cannot be supplied any more. In view of the large requirement of these forms and schedules throughout the state, it will be very difficult to meet additional requirement caused by loss or damage by careless handling at any stage. It is, therefoe, requested that proper arrangement should be made for storage of these forms and ensure that all charge officers under your control use them with utmost care and consideration of economy. It is, therefore, necessary to maintain a stock register for receipt and issue of census materials at district and charge level. This register should be scrupulously maintained for keeping proper account of schedules and forms received from the Director of Census Operations and distributed to the charge officers, Similarly the Charge Officers should maintain a seperate stock register for keeping account of materials received from the District Census Officers and distributed to the enumerator. Unused Census materials should also be accounted for and should be sent back to the District Census Officer who in turn will send to the Director of Census Operations. Specimen copies of receipt/issue register to be maintained at district and charge level are enclosed. Receipt of this circular may kindly be aclmowleged. Enc!. : As above. Yours faithfully, (T.

In the charge office, each of these documents will have to be separately arranged in a systematic manner according to enumerator block number and will have to be made up into separate bundles with a sheet on top of the bundle indicating the names of the state. district and charge and location code numbers upto Charge level. So far as the filled-in' houselist forms are concerned, it would be necessary to arrange these two sets systematically in the order of the block numbers for the entire charge and to prepare two separate bundles.

Houselist Abstract will be prepared by each enumerator for his block. A simil(\r form is being adopted for preparing the Houselist Abstract at the supervisor's level. the charge level and the district level. Specimen copics of the forms are enclosed.

The Supervisor should be asked to carry out the following tasks : (a) He should check the totals of columns 3, 8 and 21 to 23 on each page of the Houselist. These totals are given at the bottom on each page of the Houselist itself. (b) Thereafter, he should check that these totals have been posted by the enumerator in the correct line of the houselist Abstract.

The Houselisting Operations would be completed soon in Meghalaya. The Houselisting Operations would provide the basic frame for the formation of the enumeration blocks for the smooth conduct of the Census in February. 1991. Since the Houselisting Operations precedes the main enumeration by 8 months. it is necessary to ensure complete coverage of the Census Houses and Households at the time of the main enumeration. This is achieved by the adoption of an intermediate form called the "Abridged Houselist". The Abridged Houselist contains certain essential details from the Houselist and will be updated by the enumerator as he goes round his block 'in the main enumeration period. Therefore. soon after the houselisting operation is over. two important and essential steps have to be taken. These are : (a) The enumeration blocks must be formed and the Charge registers for the Enumeration Operations updated and written up. (b) The Abridged Houselist must be prepared. The carving out of the enumeration blocks is the responsibility of the Census charge officer and he will also have to get the Abridged Houselist prepared. In this connection Circular No. 17 issued by this office vide letter No. I. 11022/139/90-Gentab. dt. l7th March. 1990 may kindly be referred wherein it was required of the charge officer to keep one copy of the filled-in Houselist forms for preparation of enumeration blocks. re-writing of the Charge register and preparation of Abridged Houselist. The Abridged Houselist after being prepared by the Charge Officer has to be updated by the enumerator as mentioned earlier. The instructions for carving out enumeration blocks and the preparation of Abridged Houselists are dealt with in three separate parts as follows : (i) Part I deals with the general principles of formation of the enumeration blocks, (ii) Part II contains the instructions as to how the Abridged Houselist will be prepared in the Charge Offices by the staff concerned. These instructions are directed to the clerical and other staff who will do this in the office of the Charge Officer. (iii) Part III contains the instructions to the enumerator regarding use and updating of the Abridged Houselist during the main enumeration. The Charge Officer and one of his assistants from each Charge Office may be deputed to attent the training for the preparation of the Abridged Houselist. The dates of the training in each District Headquarters is given below. The venue of the training may be fixed by be the District Census Officer. The date of the training may kindly be confirmed by District Census Officers. 21.5.1990 ...... Jowai &. Nongstoin 22.5.1990 ...... Tura 23.5.1990 "Yilliamnagar 25.5.1990 ......

Government of India Ministry of Home Affairs T. SENAPATI, I.A.S. The Director of Census Operations, Director Meghalaya. Dated Shillong. the 19th July. 1990. 1991 Census - Circular No. 19. Dear. The first phase of 1991 -Census. that is the Houselisting Operation has been completed and the preparation for the final and most important phase of the Census. that is. the main Enumeration is now in full swing. As you are already aware the population count in the country will start from 9th February. 1991 whith a revisional round from 1st March to 5th March. 1991. The reference date of the Census is the sunrise of 1st March. 1991. We have to adhere strictly to this All India Time Schedule. The instruction for formation of enumeration blocks for the enumeration has been spelt out in detail in Circulr No. 16 issued by this office vide letter No. I. 11022/148/90-Gentab. dated 2nd May. 1990. However. to recapitulate the enumeration blocks will be prepared on the basis of the houselists. Each block will be carved out on the basis of the number of the houses or the number of households. which are considered as an appropriate workload for the enumerator. In demarcating the enumeration blocks it is essential to ensure that well known landmarks are taken ir,lto consideraion which will avoid duplication or ommission by the enumerators. For example. in an urban area it is necessal)' for the blocl< to be identified both at the beginning and at the end with reference to the street name. a prominant building etc. and in the rural areas by any other well recognised feature on the ground. While no doubt convenient norms will be adopted for carving out the enumeration blocks. if it is noticed that a few houses or households are left over when such blocks are formed. these can be added to the block even if it marginally increased the workload. It is suggested that in the rural areas a workload of about 750 persons or 1 sq households and in urban areas a workload of about 600 persons or 120 households would be appropriate. The Census blocks for the enumeration should be formed on the basis of these norms. In case the blocks formed for houselisting operation have not conformed to these norms it is necessary that the houselists are fully reviewed to carve out the new 'enumeration blocks. Even in cases where some attempt has been made to keep the block size for houselisting operation small. such a review must be made. The number of enumeration blocks will generally differ from the number of houselisting blocks. Consequently. the numbering of blocks would also change and to that extent the block nurntiers would have to be re-serialist so that the correct number is reflected in the individual Slip. the household schedule and other records relating to the actual enumeration. Obviously having formed the enumeration blocks it would be necessary to re-write the charge register for the actual enumeration. The Charge Register sho\.Jld be prepared in three copies while first copy should be sent to the Principal Census Officer. second copy to this office and third copy to be kept in the charge office. The charge register meant for this office should be sent latest by 10th August. 1990. The list showing the required number of charge registers charge-wise is enclosed. In order to gear up with the preparation of the enumeration it is considered necessary to appoint the same enumerators and supervisors who have been doing the houselistin$ operation. Enumerators and supervisors will also include those in the reserved list during the Houselisting Operation. This time also a sufficient number of enumerators and supervisors may be kept in the reserved list. One supervisor will be incharge of about 5 enumerators. If operational factors such as distance or terrain impose limitations. the size of the enumerator's blocl< or supervisor's circle may be slightly varied. Blank forms of appointment order or Identity Cards for enumerators and supervisors are sent herewith as per list enclosed. The appointment orders for both enumerators and supervisors including reseved ones may kindly be issued latest by first week of August. 1990. The Principal Census Officer/District Census Officer East Khasi Hills District may kindly sign the appointment orders and Identity Cards relating to Shillong Urban Agglomeretion while for the rest of the charges the concerned Charge Officers would sign and issue to the enumerators and supervisors appOinted for the main enumeration. 148 Receipt of this Circular may kindly be acknowledged.

Shillong held ,on 11th july. 1990. To recapitulate. the first and most important thing is the identification of Census units/establishments in different defence and para-military areas. 1. Identification of Defence Establishments/units etc. While doing so. close liaison should be maintained with the concerned block Development officers, Deputy Commissioners, so that no omission or duplication is made.

The list of such units/establishments should be sent to this office at the earliest for assigning location cpde. One receipt of these lists o__f unit location for every organisation, location code number would be allocated by this office. 2. formation of Enumeration Blocks I believe all military Census officers are in position now. They are to appoint the Census Charge Officers under them who would be in charge of a census unit or establishment.

Sub. : Training of Supervisors and Enumerators for the Enumeration - 1991 Census. Sir. As you are aware the Census of India will be taken from 9th February. 1991 to 28th February. 1991 and the revisional round will be from 1st to 5th March. 1991 with the sunrise of 1st March. 1991 as the reference date. The success of the Census depends much on hoW we train the supervisors and enumerators as they are the people to canvass the questionnaires in the schedules. Training classes have to be organised for all su pervisors and enumerators in order to equip them fully for the task of enumeration. Thorough training is very important for a proper and clear understanding of various concept. definitions etc. used in the schedules and questionnaires and for the correct method of collecting information and recording it in the prescribed manner. Since the data to be collected in the household schedule and Individual slip are many and complicated. the training has to be more intensive. It is for this reason on that we have proposed to arrange at least three ro.mds of training classes for all supervisors and enumerators. We have already had district level trainings (except East Khasi Hills) where all the Charge Officers and supervisors attended. These trainings were held at Nongstoin on 11 th &. 12th Sept. 1990; Tura on 18th &. 19th Sept. t 990; Williamnagar on 20th Sept. &. 21 st Sept. 1990 and at Jowai on 4th &.. 5th Oct. 1990. The Principal Census Officers. District Census Officers and Sub-divisional Census Officers also attended these trainings. Because of the prevailing situation at Shillong during the month of September and October district level training could not be held for East Khasi Hills. The first round of training for supervisors and enumerators have been conducted by our officers at each Block Headquarters and towns in the State beginning from 9th Oct. 90 and is nearly completed. It is proposed to hold the first round of training in Shillong Urban Agglomeration in the first-week of December. 1990. The second round of training for supervisors and 'enumerators will be conducted by the Charge Officers themselves in their own jurisdiction at Circle level. A training of small batches of supervisors and enumerators is preferred. this is. each training class will consist of not more than 50 supervisors and enumerators. Charge Officers are therefore. requested to arrange such training at Circle level for efficient and effective control over the training. The third and final round of training for supervisors and enumerators will begin from 1 st week of January. 1991 and our officers from this Directorate will assist the Charge Officers in imparting the training. The programme will be chalked out and sent to each Charge Officer well ahead of time to enable them to issue call notice to all supervisors and enumerators to attend the training at their respective places. District Census Officer/Sub-divisional Census Officers are requested to supervise all these training classes. Charge Officers may maintain an attendance register to have an effective control over each training. Yours faithfully (T.

Sub. : Management of records relating to Individual Slips and Household Schedules at Various levels - 1991 Census. Sir, The Houselisting Operations in Meghalaya has already been completed in May, 1990. We have now to streamline the planning and preparation of final phase ,of Census Enumeration to be carried out in february March, 1991. You are aware that the two documents which will be filled up by the enumerators are individual slips and Household Schedules. It is important that these records are collected, arranged and protected properly. The forms and schedules will be supplied to the District Census Officers and Military Census Officers by first week of December, 1990, for onward tranmission to the concerned Charge Officers. The requirement of forms and schedules have been estimated by this office for each charge on the basis of the Houslisting Operations conducted during April-May, t 990, with a 20 P.c. increase to meet any emergency requirement and unforseen circumstances. It will be the responsibility of the Charge officers to attend the following jobs imlinediately after the receipt of materials.

(II) The Household schedules and the Individual .slips are bound in different books and pads, viz., the households schedules are bound in books of 24 and 12 and the Individual slips are bound in pads of 50, 25 and 10 slips. The Charge Officers will have to assign book number and pad number in tne space provided at the right hand side top portion of the cover page of these books and pads. The Household Schedule books containing 24 schedules will be numbered first starting from '1' followed by books of 12 schedules in the same sequence. Thus the serial number of the books of both sizes will be continuous in one series starting with ',1'. Similarly the Individual slips contining pads of 50 slips will be numbered first starting from '1' followed by individual slip pads of 25 slips and 10 slips in the same sequence. The serial number of the pads of these three sizes will be continuous in one series starting with '1'. When these books and pads are given to the enumerators, he would write the book number and pad number on each household schedule and individual slip respectively. While supplying books of Household schedule and pads of Individual slips, the enumerators may be clearly instructed that these books and pads are not to be broken and separate books and pads to be used whenever they enumerate a new enumeration block. (III) The rubber stamps giving the first three elements of the location code numbers are being supplied to the Charge' Officers. TIley may ched< up'that the stamps relate to their charges and also ensure that each household schedules form. each individuai slip and each post-grad ute degree holder and technical personnel schedule (PGDHTP Schedule) in their charges have 'been rubber stamped with location code numbers up to three elements. The enumerator may be instructed to write the fourth and fifth element of the location code 154 number viz., village or ward and the enumerator's block number. (IV) In order to maintain control over the blockwise distribution of Census materials. it is necessary that a statement showing the distribution of materials is prepared. A format given in Statement I may be used for this purpose. (V) The Census materials received by the Charge Officers should be stored very carefully. Loss or damage due to careless storage or bad handling at any stage must be avoided. These Census materials have been printed centrally and supplied to the States/UTs as per estimated requirement and as such it will not be possible to supply additional quantity of Census materials if damaged due to careless storage or handling.

Sir, The next decennial census would be taken from 9th February to 28th February, 1991 and the reference date for the Census shall be the sun rise on first day of March, 1991 As a preliminary and important step towards the population count, an operation called the Houselisitng Operation will be undertaken throughout Meghalya in April-May, 1990. The object of undertaking the Houselislng Operqtion is to find out and list all buildings an~ structures which are being used or liI{ely to be used (15 residence or non-residential use and details of each building or house and its occupants and their activities are to be collected. This is a very important operation as it will provide the basic frame work for the actual operation and is being conducted through the State administrative machineI)'. In Meghalaya there are about 5000 villages and 12 towns. In order to cover the entire State about 3000 enumeraors and 600 supelVisors are required. To find suitable personnel for such a massive operation exclusively from Government employees is a difficult task. The educational institutions have always extended their help to the Census Organisation in meeting the required number of persol"nel for the operation. At the 1991 Census also, the organisation would be heavily dependir.g on your help and co-operation. I look forward for your whole hearted co-operation in making a massive operation like the Census a full sucess by placing the selVk:es of school teachers for appOintment as enumerators and supelVisors and issue a circular to this effect to all the institutions under YOur control.

Govt. of Megha(aya, Shillong: Sub: Payment of TNDA to the Enumerators/Supervisors for attending the training classes in connection with the Houselisting and main enumeration of t 99 t -Census. Sir, I have the honour to invite your kind attention to the letter No. G 18020/3/89-8C dated 18.10.89 from the office of the Registrar General India. New Delhi and copy endorsed to you on the subject cited above. Further. your kind attention is also invited to this office letter of even number dated 20.3.1990 followed by my letter of 28.3.1990. The r.A. and D.A. which has to be paid to the enumerators and supervisors has to be firstly borne by the State Government and is later reimbursed by the Govt. of India throught the Accountant General (copy of letter from the office of the Registrar General, India enclosed). The first ptlase of the 1991 Census. i.e., houselisting Operations is over in the State of Maghalaya for which purpose selVerai rounds of training had been imparted to tl1e enumerators and supervisors at the block headqJarter. The Charge Officers of Censue (B.D.Os etc.) have not yet been able l to pay the T.A. and D.A. Amount due to the enumerators as no amount has been placed at their disposal. This is having and adverse effect on the morale of the enumerators and it could be difficult to extract work from them again for the main enumeration. Enumerators have been appOinted from amongst state Govt. Employees. Central Govt. Empoyees. Local Bodies. Teachers ett. This leads to a confusion as the T.A.JD.A. has to be regulated according to the rules and regulations of the parent Department to which the Enumerators/Supervisors belong. To overcome this difficulty. if the State Govt. so desires, for the purpose of uniformity the State Govt. may prescribe a ,flat rate of TAJDA as per some existing norms for the TA/DA of the enumerators/supervisors. The total number of Enumerators and SupervisQJs for the State will be 3200 ,approximately. For the Houseliting there were two rounds of training for the Enumerators/Supervisors of two days each on an average for each block. For the main enumeration there will be three rounds of training of three days each. Hence the DA for each enumerator/Supervisor may be calculated for 4 + 9 ;: t 3 days per Enumerator/Su pervisor. As for TA for to and fro has to be calculated for 5(to) + 5(fro) = 10 journeys per Enumerator/ Supervisor (flat rate can also be prescribed for TA as all E.numerators/Supervisors are apPOinted from the local area). The amount may kindly be worked out and placed at the disposal of the Charge Officer as per statement enclosed regarding number of Enumerator/Supervisor per charge. This may kindly be treated as Very Urgent. Enc!. : As above. Yours faithfully, (T. Senapati) Director of Census Operations. Meghalaya Memo No.G.27040/1/89-Accts. Dated the Brd May, 1990.

These maps The maps of the affected C.D. Blocks were were reduced to uniform scale. There was no prepared by this Directorate in consultation with the jurisdICtional change at State and district level in Director of C.D. Department and the Director of 1991 Census and so' the State and district maps SUlV'ey. Meghalaya. As regards town maps. the remained the same as that of t 98 t Census. same were checlynthorumlmission of areas. In Fact. monitoring of jurisdictional chan~es. after the 1981 census is being done by the state census Directorates with a view to updating the census maps. In this connection. the. Registrar General and census Commissioner for India. had already written to you vide his letter No. 9/12/87-CD (CEN) dated 24th June. 1987. In addition to the above referred lefter. the Registrar General and census Commissioner for India had also addressed you a letter No. 9/15/89-CD (eEN) dated 17th February. 1989 regarding the fixity or boundaries. 2. We have. 'in this country. been following the adl11 inistrative set up for most of our statistiCal activities including the population census. Each state and Union Territory is divided into districts. each District into Tehsils/Talukas/Police Stations/Development Blocks and below this level we have our villages and Towns. We all know that there have been several jurisdictional changes between 1981 and now. There may be some more in the coming months.~ 3. I would like to emphasise here that for the efficient conduct of the 1991 census of India. it is necessary to ensure that the boundaries of the administrative units are not disturbed after the blocks have been determined and until the ce'nsus enumeration and the tabulation of data are completed. It is expected that the dem~rcatiqn of blo{:ks "'Could b.e tal~en in hand from t~e 1st october. 1989. 4. If the areas of the administrative units on the basis of which the census data are collected. in altered after the census. the us.efu)ness of the dafa. you will dpubtless appreciate. would be considerably reduced. It is. therefore. desira~le t_o ensure that as far as possible. the boundaries of administrative units remain undisturbed throughout the major part of the next decade. Hence. wherever any changes in the jurisdiction of the present administriave units are found necessary. it would be desirable to effect the change well before the enumerator's' bloclf February. 1990, Orie copy of the the Charge Register may be retained by the charge Officer. the second :opy by the District Census Officer and the third copy by the Director of Census Operations. Each sheet of 'harge Register will contain the detailed information of only one supervisor circle. That is. five contiguous :nume'rator's block will be serially recorded alongwith the names and address of the enumerators and the ;upervisors. in appropriate places. The number of sheets of Charge Register will be the same as that of upervisors appointed for the charge. Receipt of this circular may kindly be acknowledged.
