Census statistics at the village and block level in a uniform manner. To ensure that these statistics afe available to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the District Census Handbook has been divided into three parts. This is the first part of the series, the Village and Town Directory, which mostly comprises non-Census data. We are deeply indebted to the State Government for their ever willing and prompt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf. 1 wish to express my gratitude to Sri M. Lal, Chief Secretary to U. p. 'Government, for all the guidance and;facjlities afforded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G. A. D. (Now Commis­ sioner, Rohilkhand Division, BareiIly) and his successor, Sri A. P. Dixit, for the facilities given by them in sorting out various tl,dministrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks. I am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole-hearted co-operation in furnishing the desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard work and sustained efforts in collecting the same. The programme for the printing of District Census Handbooks has b~en heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published one in Hindi and two in Eng) sh. The arrangements made by Sri A.Dar, Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U.P., Ilahabad for the printing of these volumes, are thankfully acknowledged. Joint Superintendent Sri. J. S. Gupta, lIe New Government Press, Aishbagh, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for this stupendous task of compilation and collation of statistics, preparation of notes and reading of proofS. I am ,grateful to Shd B. B. Pande, Deputy Director, HeadquartersJ the Tabulation Officer, and other staff of the Technical Section, who have shared the burden and helped in bIinging 'out these Handbooks.

'Cbakravorty, Central Tabulation Officer for their constant help and guidance despite their :OWD heavy preoccupations, D. M. SINHA Lucknow Director of Census Operations, Dated: October 3, 1972. Uttar Pradesh. Introdudory Not. 1. History of District OeD.US Handbook It has been cultomary to bring out vital statiatiea at moat of the Censt.iscs. A list -showing the population of villaget in 'each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such, information was, hO'1ever, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911 1 but could be published only for thirteen due to the Ollt­ break of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owi~g to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of tbe Second World War, but the utility of Censm statistics was recognised and these wete published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was published alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, attempts were made to render the Di~trict Census Handbook more informative as in addition to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of develop­ ment and amenities were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Census and non·Census statistics at village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook ma~es Census statistics available for the smaller territorial units, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demar· cation of electoral constituencies, planning and development and KO on. To ensure that these statistics arc available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been ·divided for being published separately into thr~e parts Part A: Town and Village Directory; Part B: Village and Town-wise Primary Census Ab!tractj Part C: Analytical Report, Administrative Statements-District Census· Tables. "2. Scope of District Census Handbook Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory. In Village Directory, particulars of amenities in regard to Education Medical, Power supplYI Drink­ ing water supply, Post and Telegraph and Communications have been given. 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 statement. throws light on the status of tile town, ita origin, growth of population, function, functional ~tegory, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Ind\lSt.fy and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. A part from these; it also gives the distribution of population of each town by religion and Scheduled Castesl $cheduled Tribes. Part B represents data down to village level for rural area and block te-re1 for 1o-.vtlS. It contains the PrilDary Census Abstracl which incorporates figures of area, number -(If occupied reddcntial hou;cs and households, total population and its break.up by sex, 1cheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate population, working population by nint broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers workers engaged in foreitlt and liVCltock etc., in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in conStruction, in trade and commerce, in trall!Jlort and communication. and in other services IS. well as ~he non.working population, ( Iv t Part C deals with the administrative statistics pertaining to the district in aU fields. of devclopment. The Census tablcs pertaining to language, religion, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A writeup indicating changes in. socio.economic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is also being included in it. S. TowD 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 criteda for rural­ urban classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large majority (.\f inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activities. In addition to its size, population and occupational characteristics, an urban area pro.· vides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical services, com. munity facilities and other civic services. According to the State Government, all Muni. cipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonment Boards, Notified Areas and Town. Areas are considered as towns, and according to their average annual income from their own resources, these have been classified into different classes of local bodies. The criteria adopted under the Census Operations is slightly different from the State Government. In 1971 Census all places satisfying the following conditions have been treated. as Towns :- I. All Municipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonments & Notified Areas. 2. All localities though 119t in themselves local bodies but forming part of a city or town agglomeration. 3. Other places satisfying All the three undermentioned conditions : (i) Population exceeds 5,00 Q (ii) At least 75% of the male working population engages in non-agriculturar pursuits, and (iii) Tht' density of population exceeds 1,000 persons
