FOREWORD The District Census Handbook (DCH), compiled by the Census Organisation on behalf of the State Governments, is one of the most Valuable products of the Census. The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and re"earchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. It provides useful data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns. The District Census Handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 Census the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a' descriptive account of the di"trict. administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, induding PCA. The 19i1 DCH Series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-jJ to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census 'tab,les and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some states Part-C ,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 OCR series some new features along with the restructuring of the format of village ,and town directory have been attempted. At the same tiine, comparability with the 1971 data has al~o been kept 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 the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is availlible may b~ given. The rl!structuring of the form'v of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected ~o further meet the need of micro level planning fot rural area. It is expected to, help not only in local, area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well as to minimise the regional imbalances in the process of development A few Jl(lW items of the information have also been introduced to meet some of t he requirements of the Revised Minimtlm Ne;eds programme. Such -new items of information as adult literacy centres primary health sub-centres. and community health workers in the village have been introduced in the viltage directory with this (lbjcctive in mind. The new iteme on approach to the village is to have an idea a80ut the villages in the district which are inaccessible. A-I The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requi rements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amenities in slums in class-l and class-II towns (Statement IV-A) has be£n introclKed with. this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civjc amenities for the improvement of slums . , Since' the 1<)lH" Cem;us eQuid'. notr be conducted in Assam, only Part-A' contai ning viU~ge and town,. d:ir.ectoty is, beiRg p\lbli~h(!d for the' State. {Further,' even in paTt~A ~ome of innc>vations ,introduced in the 1981' OCH serie~ in o'ther 'States 'Which were based on census' dat:l . bav~ ~"tn, dropped..

PREFACE The Distlict Census Handbook (DCH) which constitutes one of most important census publications, made its first appearance in 1951 and was immediately acclaimed by a large section of academicians, administrators, planners, policy-makers, researchers scholars and many non·· governmental agencies. The form of DCH has undergone considerable changes since 1951 to accomodate more and more information as demanded by the actual users of the handbooks. The ] 98] Census publication programme envisaged publication of DCH in two parts. Part A related to village and Town Directory and Part B to General Population Tables, Village & Town wise Primary Census Abstract (PCA) and PCA for scheduled Castes and scheduled Tribes. Since the 1981 Census could not be conducted in Assam we have to restrict publication of our DCH to part A only. Further, even in part A, some of innovations introduced in the 1981 DCH based on Census data could not be incorporated. '. The data presented in this volume had been collected and compiled under the guidance of Shri N. K. Choudhury, who was Director of Census Operations, Assam till January, 1983. The tables and statements have been prepared by a team of dedicated workers in this office who have worked whole heartedly on the job. Shri N. Bhattacharjet, Assistant Director (f) besides being in overall charge of supervision has prepared the analytical note in which he was ably assisted by Shri S. K. Bora and Shri S. K. Baruah, Investigator of this Directorate. Shri S. K. Baruah, Investigator has rendered yeoman's service in all stages of production of this handbook. We are grateful to Dr. N. G. Nag. the then Deputy Registrar General (Socia Studies) India for all the assblance we received from qim in preparation of the tables and statements. Above all, we are deepJy indebted to Shri Padmanabha, Ex-Registrar General, India and Shri V. S. Verma. present Registrar General, India for their unfailing guidance and constant inspriration in bringing out this publication. Guwahati 1. C. Bhuyan. December It 1989.
