Apart from the fact that the proper implementation of policy depends on the ability of the administrative authorities concerned to quantify accurately the variables involved, it is at these levels that policies get really thoroughly tested; also, policies can fail-and probably have failed-because their statistical basis was weak. It is undoubtedly necessary that gaps in statistics at lower levels be filled as rapidly as possible. It was not possible at this Census to base all census statistics on the development block as the unit mainly because in 1961 there were many areas not till then covered by blocks. The coverage had become complete by about the middle of 1963 and it is not unlikely that the 1971 Census will recognise the block as the basic field unit as much for purposes of presentation as for operational purposes. 2. What we had tried to do in the 1961 Census Hand-books is to make them more informative by the inclusion of as many categories of non-census statistics as possible; some of these are :-climate, agriculture, co-operation, industry, banking, education, health etc. There is also an introductory note to each Hand-book high lighting the more striking features. I t has not been possible for the Census Organisa tion to check the accuracy of the figures supplied by various authorities; it is to be hoped that some other organisation, better equipped for the purpose, will take up this task. 3. One unfortunate fact about these Hand-books is that they bacame avail able to the users rather late in the decade. This is partly due to the considerable time required for the collection of information from various authorities but the main difficulty is in printing. Printing capacity in the State presses is inadequate and the procedural formalities to be observed in dealing with private presses also take a lot of time. This bottle-neck must be got over if at least at the 1971 Census these Hand-books are to have a useful active life of more than 4 or 5 years of the inter-censal decennium. 4. The Census organisation is grateful to the Government of Madhya Pradesh for having been so kind as to undertake the publication of these Hand books and to the Superintendent, Government Printing and his organisa tion-particularly the Assistant Superintendent, Printing, Government Regional Press, Indore and his staff-for the printing arrangements made. The inspiration behind this ambitious venture is that of our indefatigable Registrar General, Shri Asok Mitra, to whom we are all deeply grateful. Our thanks are also due to the various authorities who supplied us with all the necessary statistics. G. JAGATHPATHI.
