FORE-WORD

Publication of the District Census Handbooks (DeI-Is) was initiated afler the 1951 Census and is continuing since then vvith some innovations/modiflcations after each decennial C~ensus. This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Governmentf(Jnion• Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the - basie demographic and socio-economic charactf.:.'ristics and on the availability of certain important C1VIC flITlenities/facilities in each village and to\.vn of tht~ respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators., acadernicians and researchers. The. scope of the DCH was ini"tially confined to certain irnportant ceiiSUS tables on populatjon~ economic and socio­ cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (peA) o·f each village and to'NTI ('Nard-\vise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Vi]1age and Town. Directories including peA. After the 1971 Census, t'NO parts of the District Census Handbooks CPart-A cornprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCl\.) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third Part (C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which "\-vas also to be brought out, could not be published in ynany StatesfUTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981, some new :features alongvvith the. restructuring of the formats of Village and To\vn Directory were introduced in the DeHs. These "\-vere p·ub l1shed in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. vVhile Part-A comprised Village and Tovvn Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward­ wise) :including Scheduled -Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tahsil/to'\vIlI(_~vel \Ver(~ provided in Part-B. To illustrate, (vi) all the amenities except electricity, .were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges for the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health "W'orkers in t.he village "Were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme, Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided - for the first time --in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. I case of Town Directories also, keeping in view the requirenlents of. the Minimum Needs Programme, a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the programmes for providing better civic and other an'lenities in the slums. In this statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and Class II towns. Apart from this, one col umn on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/ centres "'Vvere added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the, 1991 census is by and large the same as folJowed in '1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in th~ 199]\~ Census. for t.he benefit. of data users. Nine­ fold IndustrIal classlfica tlon of maIn workers has been given as against four-hold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the" sex-wise population in the 0-6 - age-group has also been included .in peA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children belo"v 7 years of age have been treated' as illiterate at the time of the 19.91. Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out rnore effective developmental programmes. One of the most iillportant .innovations in the 1991 Census IS the Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the Village ~Directory and PCA instead o:f the traditional TahsillTalukaIPS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and peA data at C. D. Block level will help the planners in formulation of micro-level developmental plans, as the ·C. D. Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental' planning. (vii)

In order to facilitate the task of Administrators~ Planners and Researehers intending to us~ Village Directory! peA data, either from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census alongwith the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the State Government/UT administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collect.ed and compiled under the direction of Shri. J. K_ Banthia, Director of Census Operations, Maharashtra on behalf of the State GovernmentJUT adn'linistration which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and co-ordination of the publication was initiated by Dr. K. P. Ittaman, former .Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Shri M. 1\1. Dua, Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of infc)rmationJdata and for preparation of analytical note depicting the salient features emerging from a lllicro-level analysis of Census/ non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union ,Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the gt.1.1 dance of Shri 'M. K. Jain, the present Deputy Registrar. General (S.8.). This task ·was carried out by Shri A. K. Singh~ Deputy Director who was· assisted by. Shri N. S. Soam, .l~sistant Director and his staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of the maps was ihitially provided by Dr. B. I<:. Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (l\rlap) and later by Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the present Deputy.Registrar General (Map). I am thankful to all those who have contributed to this project.
