The Census Reports in olden times were printed one for the whole Province of R~jputana and another for Ajmer Merwarn.. Some of the Principal States now merged in Raja.sthan published their own reports. This time the State Census Reports have been published in the following volumes;- 1. Part I-A Report. 2. Pari I-B Subsidiary Tables anll District Index of Non-Agricultural Occupations. 8. Part I-e Appendices. 4. Part II-A General Popull1tion fJ1 ables, Household and Age (Sample) TableR, Social and Cultuntl '1\l,bles, r:rab!e E Summary FiguroR by Administrative Units, and local 'KA' infirmitins. 5. Part II-B Economic 'llab!rs. rrhey contain statistics down to tbe llj~trict level. The idea of preparing the District Census Handbook separately for each district was put forward by 8hri R. A. Gopalaswami, I. C. S., Registrar General, India, and ex-Officio Census Commissioner of India, as part of a plan intended to secure an effective method of preserving the census records prepared for areas below the district level. He proposed that all the district census tables and census abstracts prepared during the process of sorting and compilation should be bound together in a single mn.nuscript volume, ca.lled the District Census Handbook, a.nd suggested to the State Governments that the handbook (with or without the a.ddition of other useful information relating to the district) should be printed and published, at their own cost, in the same manner as the village statistics in the pa.st. In n.cccpting this suggestion, the Government of Rajasthan decided to print and publish the more important portion of statistical data relating to the district a.nd to preserve the rest of the records in a manuscript volume for any future use, to which they may be put. This Handbook contains five General Population Tables of A Series, three Economic Tables of B Series, five Household alld Age 'l'ables of C Series, seven Social and Cultural Tables of D Series, one tabJe E giving summary for the district and tehsils, a local table 'KA' showing infirmities by age groups and an Index of Non-agricultural Occupations. Each table conta.ins an explanatory note necessary for the proper undrwstanding of the figures. The numbers given to the tables in this Handbook cormspond to those given in State Census Reports. Village Directories were publiBhed for tbe first time in 1931 by a few StateR of Raj putana. The example was followed by all the States in 1 V41. They conta,ined for each villa.ge the population figures by religion and also some other useful information. They were bound in a volume one for each Stn,te. 'fhis time the Village Directories are also incorporated in this Handbook under the name of" Primary Oensus Abstract and Village Directory" which show the basic popula.tion figures separately for each village or town-ward classified by livelihood classes instoa,d of religion and f),lso SOlUe information of general nature. Opportunity has been taken to put in n, short introductory note detailing the salient poi?ts connected with the district, snell HoS the physical fen,tnres, climate, rn.infall, irri­ gatIOn and drainage facilities, roadR fmd otber communications, agriculture, education, ~ndustl'ies and other matters of general interest. The information contained in the lUtrodllctory note is based. OIl the material fnrniRhed by Collectors of districts and Depart­ ments of Government. In addition to the above, somo figlUCR of gCllcral interest a,nd a review of populRtion ugUl'CS have also been incorpomted. II r1'11r Rell('dnlp,d datf' for the publicfLtion of the nandbool~s as pl'f's~rihrt1 by th~ Re~istl'n.r General, India., was," Not later than March, liJ52" but practical experience showed its publication by that time an impl'ltcticn.bility. Even the compilation of the table's together with its fina,l touch could not be completed by tiHl.t time. rrhen came the (]lH~."tioll of printing' which proved to be a huge task. There are 25 districts in Raja.sthan :1.I\f1 ] in Ajmer. 'j'ho total tiUtlTb~l' of pl'intAd pages turned Ollt to be nen,rly ~)Ooo. Thr. (J(}\'('!'lllllent PI'CSRC~ were it.J'r~ady oV'er burdoned with the printing vwrk of other depart­ HW11!,S and in the printing of census publications priority was given to Centml Govern­ ment Pn blien.tions i.e the State Censns H.cports. 'J'he result was that till l\T arch, ] 954, fOl' 14 out of :W diRtricts the P. C.
