This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cuhural a .... pects as also the Primary Cen!-.us Ab~tracl (peA) of each village and lawn (ward-wise) of thl.; district. The DeHs publi.:.hed after the 19G1 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statblics, cen~u~ tables and Village and Town Directories including peA. Afler the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B compri<;ing Village and Town peA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third part, Part C of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, whieh was also to be brought out, could not be published in many States/UTs due to considerable dday in compilation of relevant materia1. In 1981, some new features alongwith the restrucl uring of the formals of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Direclories~ the peA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto teh<;il/lown level were provi~cd in Part-B. To illustratct all the amenities except electricity, were brought together in the Vil1age Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges frum the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements. of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided for the first time in the Village Directory so a~ to give an idea about the number of inaccessible viIJagcs in each district. In case of Town Dircctories also, keeping in view the requirements of the l\.1 inimum Needs Programme, a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners 10 chalk out Qte programmes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this Statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and Class II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes popUlation and another on adult literacy c1as!-.cs/centrcs were added in o Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is hy ..t.nd large the same as followed In 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given as against four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise population in the 0-6 age-group has also been included in PCA for the first time with a view to enahling data users to compute more realistic literacy rates as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate al the lime of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the ahove mentioned mouifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes.

In order to facilitate the la~k of administrators, planners and researchers intending to usc Village Directory/peA data, eilher from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes for each village have been provided ror the 1991 Census along with lhe corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the Stale Go\'t./UT administralion and the Census Organisation. The data h~lVe been colkc(cd and compiled under \he uircclion l)f Ms. Sohha Nambis;;,n, n,rcctoT of Censlis Operalions, Karnalaka on beh •• lf of lhe Slale Go\-1. adminjstration whjch has borne the cost of printing. The (a~k of planning, designing and coordination of the publicalion was initialed by Dr.K.P.lllarnan, forml.:r Deputy Registrar GeneraJ (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua, Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentalion of information/data and. ror preparation of analytical nole deplcling the salient features emerging from a micro-Ievd <.tnalysis of Census/noll-Census data, a model Di~trict Census Hanubook from each Stale and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in lhe Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri M.K.Jain. the presenl Deputy Rcgi!>lrar GeneraJ (S.S.). This tusk was carried out by Shri A.K.Singh, Deputy Director who was. a~sistcd by SIShri V.K.Jain and Hariram, Invesligators and staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of the maps was initially provided by Dr.B.K.Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (i\fap) and laler hy Mrs. (\.1inali Ghosh, the prescnt DepuLy Registrar General (f\.fap).
