2 I f ' CENSUS OF 1941 VILLAGE DIRECTORY COCHIN STATE Price Re. 1/.. PREFACE The Imperial and State Census Tables to be published along with the Census Report will not give specific information relating to the villages and hence it is usual here to publish the village statistics in a separate volume. This practice was commended at the Census Conference held in New Delhi early in 1940 and it was , . also suggested then that fuller details in addition' to population figures should be incorporated in this volume. Agreeably to this suggestion the scope of this publication has been considerably enhanced this time. Thus the area, number of shops, medical (Government-owned or aided) and educational institutions and places of worship, population by main religions and communities and sects therein such as Ezhuvas, Nairs, Viswakarmalas, Depressed Classes, etc., among Hindus,, and" Ramo. Syrians, Latin Catholics, etc., among Christians, the nearest Railway station and distance thereto, important festivals, industries or other local details are all shown this time. In fact the ideal has been not to leave out any' important or interesting detail pertaining to any village. To limit space a number of symbols and abbreviations have been used. A list of these is ,;iven at the next page. It IS hoped that this volume will be found useful and interesting. " B. V. K.
