This Is the most valuable district level publication brouiht out by the,Census Olianlsatlon on behalf of each State Covt.1 Union Territory administration. It Inter-dlll'provides datallnforrnatlon on some of the basic demoaraphlc and soclo-economlc characteristics and on the avallablllty of certain Important clvlc amenitles/faclllties In each vlliaae and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of Immense utlllty to the planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DQi was Initially confined to certain Important census tables on population, economic and soclo-cultural aspects as also the Prllhary Census Abstract (PCA) of eacn village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descrl~tlve account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories Including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the DI~trlct Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Pan-B comprising administrative statistIcs and district census tables, which was also to be "brought out, could not be published In many StateslUTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981, some new features along with the restructuring of '''e formats of Village and Town Directory were Introduced In the DCHs. These were published In two tlarts hr p 1 ~l district ~iter the t 98 t Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Dll'ectorles, the rCA of "mages and ~owns (ward-wise) Including Schduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsil/town level were provided In Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together In the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available In the referrent village, the distance In broad ranges from 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 workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, Information on apporoach 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. In case of Town Directories also, keeping In view the requirements 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 amenities were reported for the slums of class I and class II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added In Statement IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census Is by and large the same as followed In 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in the t 991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial c1assiflcation presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the sex wise population in the 0-6 age-group has also been Included In PCA for the first time with a-view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the t 991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners In chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the most Important innovations In the 199 t Census is the Community Development Block level presentation of data In the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional Tahsii/TalukiPS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and PCA data at CD. Block level will help the planners in formulation of micro-level developmental plans, as the CD. Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use Village Directory/PCA data, either from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records, (vii) both the computer and mannual codes for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication Is a lolnt venture of the State Govt.lUT. administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction of Shrl M. Dawngllana, Director of Census Operations, Mlzoram on behalf of the State Govt.lUT. administration which has borne the COSt of printing. The task of planning, deSigning and coordination of the publlcatl~n was InItiated by Dr. K.P. Ittaman, former Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Shrl R.K. Dua, ]olnt Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of Information/data and for preparation of analytical note depicting the salient features emerging from a micro-level analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in the Sodal Studies Division under the guidance of Shrl M.K. Jatn, the present Deputy Registrar General (5.S.).
