Phansidewa PoJice Station 197 ",13. Kharibari Police Sta tion 199 FOREWORD The district census handbook (DCH), compiled 'by the Census Organisation On behalf of the State Governments. is one of the most valuable prod~cts of the Census. 1;'he DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook is the only publication 'which provides Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for the rural areas and ward wise for. each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tab"tes and PCA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 Censlis th~ scope of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a descriptive account of thc district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and printing. While designing the format of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data has also been k.ept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brought together in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in (he referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available m:ly be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive d:l-a on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to ameni ties and land-use pattern is expected to further m ~et the need of micro level planning tor ru,ral areas. It is expected to help not only in local area plan "ling but regulating the provision of goods and serVIces as well so <is to minimise the regional imbalances in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, prilllary heal h sub-c0ntres, and communilY health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objective in mind. The nt-w item on approach to the village is to have an idea about the villages in the district which are inaccessible. A new column, \.'total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendice~ list t1g the villages where no amenities are a"ailable and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe populatIOn to the total population has also been made with this view in mind. The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amen-ities ill slums :n C!ass-I and C~ass-II towns (Statement IV-A) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns on S<..:heduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population ,in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/celltres under educational facilities in statement v are also added inter alia with this view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the town .directory. The infrastructure of. amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into consideration. The addition of the columns on ' civic administration status and ,popnlation in a few statements also serves this purpose. VIn 1 The format of the primary census abstract for the villages and towns bas been formulated in tbe light of changes in the economic and other questions canvassed througb tbe individual slip of 1981 Census. in order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCH series it bas been so designed tbat Part-A of tbe volume contains village and town directory and Part-B, the peA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto Police Station/ /Town lavels. At the beginning of tbe DCB a detailed analytical note '"Supported by a number of insef tables based on PCA and non census clata in rela,tion to the infrastructure has been introduced to enhance its value. The district and Police Station le~el maps depictin~ the boundaries and other important features have been inserted at appropriate p,laces, to further enhance the value of tbe publication. Tbis publication is a joint venture of tbe State 'Government and - tbe Census Organisation. Tbe data have been collected and compiled in the state under the direction of Shri S. N. Ghosh, lAS, 1he Directo~ of Census Operations, West Bengal on behalf of State Government which has borne the cost of printing., 'f.be task of. planning, designing and co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Shri N. G. Nag, Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) of my office. Dr. B. K. ROY., Deputy Registrar 'General (Map) provided 5he technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. Data received from Census Direcrorates have been scrutinised in the Social studies Division at the head quarters -under the guidance of Shri M. M. Dua, Senior Research Ojlicer. I am thankful to all who have contributed in this -project. Nellt Delhi P. PADMANABHA the 26th April, 1982 Registrar General, India PREFACE The Distric,t Census Handbook compiled by the Census Directorate, West Bengal, on behalf of the Govt. of West Bengal containing Census Statistics besides other invaluable data of importance for use by the State Govt., district administration, research scholars and various other data-us~rs owes its origin to 1951 ' Census.

  • Chapter 6 Forest Communities & Cprs in the Hill Region
    Chapter 6 Forest Communities & CPRs in the Hill Region 6.1 Introduction The region to be studied lies within the Eastern Himalaya which is a biodiversity hotspot little explored as yet by Government scientific agencies like the Botanical Survey of India [BSI] and the Zoological Survey of India [ZSI]. This makes it an important conservation zone, with an approximate area of 15000 sq. km. of forests having already been committed to designated Protected Areas. However imposition of statutory control over regional forests has been accompanied by large scale diversion of forest lands to plantations, agriculture and urban settlement. Economic development has also been accompanied by high levels of immigration which have brought forests in the region under extreme pressure, threatening their very survival. Study of the status of property rights and the patterns of use of CPRs, woodfuels and other forest resources is thus expected to throw light on the interdependence of human communities, economic development and natural resources in a region of the Himalaya where significant forests still survive. By documenting forest access and CPR-use by the communities that live on the very edge of subsistence at the forest fringe~ we make an attempt to meaningfully contribute towards the operationalisation of sustainable development through the means of self-governing social control systems. The present chapter and the next are based on the case-studies undertaken in the two northern districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri in West Bengal respectively. 6.1.1 Geographical Description and Position of the Darjeeling district. Darjeeling is a small district that lies between 26°31' and 27°13' North latitude and between 87° 59' and 88° 53' East longitude in the extreme north of the state of West Bengal in India.
