The DCH is constantly referred to by planner s, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter-alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of Iccal level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook! is the only publication which provid~s primary Census Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for the rural areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and 'amenities in villages and towns, etc. The district cemus hardbock Eeries was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census taeles and PCA for fech village snd tewn of tbe district. During 1961 Census the scope of the D CH was enlarged and it ccntained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables village and town directcry, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory. Part-B to village and town PCA and part-C compri sed analytical report, administrati, e ~ta tistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in re~pect of villages. However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilatiop and printing. While designing the fOlmat of 1981 BCH series some new features along wi,h the restructuring of I the formats of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the ': 1971 data has also been kept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brought together in the village directory ""ith the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referrent village the di~tance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro le\el planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalan ces in the process of deve!opment. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of tbe Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres, and community health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objectives in mind. The new item on approach to the village is to have an idea about the villages in the district which are inaccesible. A new column, "total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of houseohlds they serve. Addition of two more appendices listiJlg the villages where no arne. nities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes population to the total population has also been ma~e with this view in mind. The formats of the foon directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amenities in slums in dass-I and class-II towns (Statement IV-A) bas been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in statement V are also added inter-alia with this iv view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the town directory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into consi. deration. The addition of the columns on civic administration status and population in a few statements also serves this purpose. The format of the primary census ab,tract for the villages and towns has been formulated in the light of changes in the economic and other questions canvassed through the individual slip of 1981 census. In order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 OCR series it has been so designed that Part-A of the volume contains village and town directory and Part-B the peA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes peA upto Tahsil/ToNn levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on PCA and non-census data in relation to tho infrastruct.ure has been introduced to enhance its value. The district and tahsil/p>1ico station/CO Block etc., level maps depicting the boundaries and other important features have been inserted at appropriate places, to further enhance the value of the publication. This publication is a joint venturi of the State Government and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled in the Stae unde r the direction of Shri K. C. Dubey, the Director of Cemus Operations, Madhya Pradelh on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning. designing and coordination of this publication was carried out by Shri N.G. Nai. Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) of my office. Dr. B.K. Roy, Deputy Registrar General (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. Data received from Census .Directorates have b~en scrutinised in the Sncial Studies Division at the headquarters under the guidance of Shri M. M. Dua, Seniol' Research Officer. I am thankful to all who .have contributed in the project. New Delhi P. PADMANABHA the 26th April, 1981 REGISTRAR GENERAL, INDIA PREFACE One of the most important publications of the Census are the District C~nsus HandbG>oks. This publication was begun in this caption since 1951 Census. But prior to this, a similar publication wai released in the Census earlier than 1951. That publication was on the title of Village Statistics and it contains only village names and total population thereof. The 1951 Census could, therefore, be said to present a significant step in the process of making detailed Census statistics available down upto the ViHage level. In fact the District Census Handbook is the most important publication at the Census and is also perhaps the most widely med. Also perhaps this is the only publication used at the micro-level do,wn upto ~he tahsil and development Block. The form of the District Census Handbook has gone considerablp. change since 1951. This is basi. eally due to t he growing demand for more information. For the purpose of convenience as well as with a view to making th e basic stati~tics available with the data users as early as 1)olsible the District Census Hand ... books have beon split in,to 2 parts. Part-A contains the Introductory Note on the dhtrict and Town/Village Directory. This Volume w111 be found useful to get almost all the non-Census statiatics available It ODe pltlce. Part-B allo contains the Primary Census Abstract. One of the innovation of the present Census has been in term of allotm'!nt of Location Code num ,en to the villages. In the earlier cenlluses the Location Code s' stem was such that the villages of a PatlNari Circle were found at different serial numbers Since the patwari circle still remains an important administrative unit, the Location Code number~ have been so given in the present Cen'>us that it may be pos~ibe to locate all the villages of a particular Patwari Circle at one place one below the other. When the planning for the present census was started in 1979 the tahsils were stili revivable as an impor. tant unit of the administration, the whole planning was, therefore, done taking tahsil 8S the Unit. It was during the course of the census that some requests were informally received for making block wise data Iv.dlable. Since these requests were received very late and were also received only in an infrrmal manner, it has not been possible to disturb the original planning of villages arranged according (0 the location code numbers taking tahsil as one unit. However, additional ex"rcise bas been done and in addition to the tahsil figures blockwise figure"! have also been indicated. It is hoped that the availability of these blockwise data will enhance the utility of this publication. It is hoped that this handbook will provide the basic statistical support to executive and develop mental administration, It is neec11ess to state that the proper implementation of policy depends on tbe ability of the administration authoritie~ concerned. It may be remembered that the village wise area figures giv.o:n in the Primary Census Abstract and th. Village Directory are those based OD the village papers wbile the tahsil tOlals given io peA are obtained from the Land Records department which in many cases excludt forest area. VI\ The statistics that are contained io the di~trict census handbooks are the result of a massive and ttJaratbon exercise in the compilation and tabulation of voluminous statistics. The compilation of the stati stics contained in this volume was carried out by 9 Regional Tabulation Offices each under a Regional Deputy Director of Census Operations. These Regional Offices were run with the help of purely temporary staff roughly about 1,500 Tabulators, about 250 Checkers and about 80 Supervisors. I am grateful to my colleagues, the Regional Deputy Directors and those temporary staff for the speed and accuracy in the editing and basic compilation of more than nearly 522 lakh slips and nearly 1 lakh of household schedules. The compilation of village directory was taken up at the Headquarters and I am equally grateful to the officers and staff who have worked whole heartedly on the job in a collective and cooperative venture. It is not possible nor fair to name in this. The maps contained in the handbook have been prepared in the Cartographic Section of my office. However, the anal)'tical note has been perpared.•. by Shri Ram Singh, Deputy Director of Census Operations. I am thankful to all who have contributed to bring this publication possible. The Census Organis ation is also grateful to the Government of Madbya Pradesh for having been so kind as to undertake the publication of these handbooks and to the Controller, Printing and Stationery, Madhya Pradesh. Bhopal and his staff for the Printing arrangements made. The inspiration behind this ambitious venture is that of our indefatigable Registrar General, Shri P. Padmanabha, to whom we are all deeply greateful. Our thanks are also due to Shri N. O. Nag, Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) for all the help that we received from bim and his section.

The objective this basis in 1971 and some basic data were presen.. of tbe SADA areas perhaps is to control the future ted for 1951, 1961 and 1971 for such areas and their development of tbe~e areas in a planned manner and coroponentl>. Similar data have been. prel>ented for that is all. It was, therefore, not considered desirable the Standard Urban Areas in 1981 also. The idea is to treat sucb SADA areas at par with other urban to present basic deta for these areas for Jour to five bodies like municipal corporations, municipal decades so that the urbanisation process in those areas committees etc., and only that part of it is treated as can be studied. However, there have been mini urban which is really so, As such in the Kotba SADA mum changes In tbe constituent units of tbe Standard area only Korba town has been treated as urban and Urban Areas of 1981 Census as compared to those rest of the area remains in the rural fraroe. of 1971, ht tte list of Standard Urban Areas remains unchanged.
