SINHA Lucknow DIrector of Census Operations, Dated, October 3, 1972 Uttar Pradesh. INTRODUCTORY NOTE 1. History of District Census Handbook. It has been customary to brmg out vital statIstICS at most of the Censuses. A 11st showing the population of villages III each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the out break of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Cemus Statistics. In 1931 vlllagewise st atistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resultmg in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics was recognised artd these were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was pubh­ shed a10ngwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In l!:l61 Census, attempts were made to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in addition to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and amenities were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Cenus and non-Census statistics at viIIage{town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics available for the smaller territonal units, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demar­ cation of electoral constituencies, planning and development and so on. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been divided for being Published separately into three Parts. Part A: Town and Village Directory. Part B 0 Village and Town-wise Primary Census Abstract. Part C: Analytical Report and Administrative Statements--Distnct Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Census Handbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Direct.ory. In Village DireC1:ory, particulars of amenities in regard toEducation, MedIcal, Power supply, drinking water supply, Post and telegraph and Communications ,have been give,n. Besides, it contains land-use statistics, days of weekly markets and places of religious, historical or archaeological interest in each village. The Town Directory comprising seven statements throws I1ght on the status of the town, its origin, growth of population, functIOnal category, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, CiVIC and other amenities, Medical and Education facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banki:v-g. Apart from these, it also gives the distnbution of population of a town by religion and Scheduled Castes{Scheduled Tribes. Part B represents data down to VIllage level for rural area and block level for t(JWllS. It contains the Primary Census Abstract which lUcorporates figures of area, number of occupied residential houses and households, total population and its break-up by sex, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate populatIOn, working populatlOn by nine broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged III forestry and livestock etc., in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construction, in trade and commerce, in transport and communicatlOns and in other services as well as the non­ working population. ( iv ) Palt C deals with the administrative statistics pertaining to the district in all fIeIes. of development. The Census table~ pertaining to language, religion, migration and eco'1omic activities are being reproduced in this part. A write up indicating changes in socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is also being included in it. 3. Town Directory given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns of the district. There is no uniformly accepted definition of a town. The historical, poli­ tical, cultural and administrative considerations are generally taken as criteria for rural­ urban classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large m1.jority of inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activItIes. In addition to its size;"'lapopulatlOn and occupational characteristics, an urban 'area provide~ such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial fl.nd teohnical services, community facdities and other civic services. According to the State Government, all MUlllcipaf Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonment Boards, NotIfied Areas and Town Areas. are considered as towns, and according to their average annual income from thf'ir own resources, these have been classified into different classes of local bodies. The crl'eria adopted under the Census Operations is slightly dIfferent from the State Government. In 1971 Census all places satisfying the following conditions have been treated Towns :- 1. All Municipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonments & Notified Arem_ 2. All localities though not in themselves local bodies but forming Rart of a cIty or town agglomeration. 3. Other places satisfYing all the three under mentioned conditions ~ (1) PopulatIon exceeds 5,eOO. (ii) At least 75% of the male working population engages in non-agncultural pursuits, and (IiI) The density of population exceeds 1,000 persons per sq. mile (386 persons pef sq. km.) The information given in the Town Directory relates to'the year 1969. The data has been presented III the following seven statements: (a) Statement 1--This statement presents the population of the towns at the enJ of each decade from 1901 to 1971, the CIvic status
