The Primary Census Abstract (P.C.A.) of the state will also be released shortly as Part II- B which besides the General P.C.A. will also contain the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe P.C.A. together with analytical notes etc. However, in order to meet the urgent demands of the various departments and other data users, the Primary Census Abstract of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe population down to the charge level i. e. up to tahsil and town level is being brought out in this paper. The P.CA gives details of number of households with Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. total population by sex, literates, main-workers and amongst them cultivators, as agricultural labou­ rers, at household industry, and other workers, non-workers and marginal workers by sex. The territorial units for which the data are presented conform to the posi­ tion that existed at the sunrise of March 1, 1982. It is hoped that the data users will find this paper useful. RAVINDRA GUPTA March 1, 1983 Director of Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh EXPLANATORY NOTE Information relating to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes as per the 1981 Census halt been presented in this paper. It was ensured that he/she belonged to Hindu or Sikh religion. It is based on the information collected in the individual slip and posted in Part-II of the Household was conducted during 9th February to 28th February, 1981 and the popula­ tion count was adjusted to resunrise of 1st March, 1981 by undertaking a revisional round from Ii'lt to 5th March, 1981. This data was compiled manually. The lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled ';ribes adopted for the 1981 Census is given at Appendix-I. The State of Uttar Pradesh is divided into 56 administrative districts including two new districts-Ghaziabad and Lalitpur, which were created during the decade 1971-81. The old Kanpur district has also been bifurcated into Kanpur Nagar and Kanpur Dehat districts-effec­ tive April 23rd, 1981. The former covers the Kanpur tahsil including Kanpur Nagar Maha­ palika and the later comprises the remaining tahsils of Bilhaur, Derapur, Akbarpur, Bhognipur and Ghatampur. Since this has come about after the completion of Census Operations, separate figures have not been presented. They can, however, be obtained from the tables presented, after allocating relevant figures of the different constituent units of Kanpur Dehat and Kanpur Nagar. In addition, some new tahsils were also constituted during the decade as per details given in Appendix-2. Rural and Urban 2. Census data have always been presented for rural and urban areas separately. In fact, this is the practice all over the world. Any clear-cut distinction between rural and urban hilS yet not been possible anywhere, far less to have a uniform definition for all the countries. However, after giving considerable thought, the following criteria were adopted for treating a place as urban for the 1981 Census :- (a) All statutory towns, i.e. all places with a municipal corporation, municipal board or cantonment board or notified town area. (b) All other places which satisfy the following criteria: ( i) A minimum population of 5,000 ; (ii) 75% of the male working population engaged in non-agricultural (and allied) activity; and (iii) A density of population of at least 400 per sq. km. (or 1,000 per sq. mile). Occupations of fishing, livestock, hunting, logging, plantations and orchards etc. falling in industrial category IIC were treated as non-agricultural activities while classifying towns for the 19,,1 and 1971 Censuses. A small but meaningful change was made for the 1981 Census by treating 'fishing, logging etc.' as allied agricultural activities for examination under (b) (ii) above. Places which qualify as urban under (b) above have been termed 'Census Towns' (CT) since they have no local body viz. MC, MB, Cantt., NA, TA. Most of the Town Areas do not satisfy the criteria laid under (b) above. However, since (a) and (b) are mutually exclusive, all statutory towns have to be classified as urban. Cons- iv quently, in 1981, all Town Areas irrespective of their characteristics were treated as urban. The number of towns in the state has, therefore, gone up from 325 in 1971 to 704 in 1981. A city in census parlance is a town with a population of one hundred thousand and above. Urban Agglomeration (UA) The concept of urban agglomeration (UA) adopted for the 1971 Census continued for the 1981 Census. The VA defined the continuous urban spread at a place which may cover mQJ:e than one town, with their urban outgrowths. This was an improvement on the Town group concept of 1961 where the urban spread was necessarily not continuous. It is. common knowledge that some urban settlements like residential colonies, campuses etc. ("orne up outside the notified limits of a town, but adjoining it. Such settlements may not by themselves qualify under clause (b) of the definition to be treated as census town but if they f(Hm a continuous spread with the adjoining town, it would only be realistic to treat them as urban. Such settle­ mellt have been termed. as outgrowths (OG) and may cover l'l whole village or part of a village. Two or m?re towns may alsQ lie contiguous to one another. A census town (i.e. without a local body) may also lie contiguous to a notified town. An urban agglomeration, therefore, constitutes :- (a) A city or town with contiguous outgrowth (s) (the outgrowth being outside the statutory limits but falling withln the boundaries of the adjoining village or villages) ; or (b) two or more adjoining towns with their out-growth(s) as in (a) ; or (c) a city with one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths all of which form a continuous spread. An urban agglomeration exceeding a population of one hundred thousand is called a city VA, otherwise, it is a town VA. After finalising the list of towns and urban agglomerations in each district and tahsil, what remains is rural. The basic unit in rural areas is a revenlle village which has normally well defined survey boundaries. In unsurveyed villages in forest/hill areas, locally r~cognised n~tural boundariqt; are adopted to define the village areas. In case of reserved forest areas which are not part of any revenue village, forest range officer's beat was treated as one forest village. This mention of a village etc. is only of. topical interest here as ",e are not going below tahsil level presently. Out of 382 towns which were added to the list of towns in 198 J, 198 are entirely new and 184 existed as town:. prior to the 1961 CensQs but were declassified as such in 1961 and 1971. Faizabad-cum.Ayodhya M. B. of 1971 has been bifurcated into two towns, viz. Faizabad M.B. and Ayodhya M.B. in 1981. Two towns of 1971 Census viz., Rasulpllr Dhulri C. T. of Meerqt and Markundi C. T. of Mirzapur which, did not satisfy, the conditions necessary for treating a place as urban were taken out from the list of towns for the 1981 Census. Further, tW9 independent towns of 1971 Census lo~t their. identity having merged with other towns. They are MaJyana and Kaila towns which got merged in Meerut M.B. and Ghaziabad M. B. respectively after the 1911 Census. The 704 towns of the State consist of 5 Muncipal Corporations, 187 Muncipal Boards, 22 ~~ntonment Boards, 47 Notified Areas, 418 Town Areas and 25 Census Towns. After clubbing constituent towns of each urban agglomerat~n, the number of urban agglomerations and independent towns comes to 659. ,. Household A household is a group of persons who commonly live together and would take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevented any of them from doing so. There may be a household of persons related by blood or a household of unrelated persons or having a mix of both. Examples of unrelated households are boarding houses, messes, hostels, residential hotels, rescue homes, jails, ashrams, etc. These are called 'Inst:tu­ tional households'. There may be one-member households, two-member households or multi­ member hO:lseholds. For census purpose, each oae of these types is regarded as a 'household'. I.iteracy A persons who can both read and write with understanding in any language is taken as literate. A person who can merely read but cannot write, is not literate. It is not necessary that a person who is literate should have received any formal education or should have passed any minimum educational standard.
