Of. every. ~istric~ publi~he~ in 191.1 and 1941. No definite answer is for_thcommg as to Why such pubhca>tlons, gIvmg vIllage-wIse mformahon of occupied houses, break-up of population into males/females and. literates, were not br~mght out in 1921 and 1931. The reason could be transfer from 1921 of cent am charges on Census prevIOusly met from the provincial revenues to the Central revenues and the Government of India may not have considered it necessary to publish statistics upto the village ley~l. 'Village Statistics' in 1941 were brought out by the CeIlltral Provinces and Berar Government and this practice of bringing out district-wise publications at the cost of the State Government has since been continuing. 2. The scope of the district-wise publications, now called the District Census Handbooks, has been undergoing change with each successive Census from 1951, In 1951, th~ DiSitrict Census Handbooks only contained the Primary Census Abstract and the Census tables. In view of the usefulness of separate 'publication for each district, improvements were made at the time of the 1961 Census by including non-Census data like climate, agriculture, co-operation, industry, educaJtion, etc. An 'Introduc tory Note' was also added to highlight the more ,triking features. UnfolltunatelYL the g.esire to make district-wise Census publications very comprehensive resulled in late availability ot the books !to the users. Therefor~, this time the Distri~t Census Handbooks have been divided into _three parts in order to rele~se maximum data, as and when finalised, so that the publications may have a useful life of aboUit seven to eight years of inter·Censal decennil!m. Part A will contain Primarily non-Census statistics, Part B the Primary Census Abstract and Part C various administrative statistics with a Chapter titled "Introducing the district". It may be mentioned here that subs~quently a decision has been taken to merge Parts A and B in one volume on grounds of economy. 3. Much of the delay in ,the publication of the District Census Handbooks after the 1961 Census was due to delay in collection of administrative statistics and the decision to write the Introductory Note in the head office, Separation of administrative statistics and the decision to write the Introductory and the kind Co-operation of the State Government permitting Collectors of the 1961-71 decade to write th~ chapter on "Introducing the District", likely to go a long way in early publicaJtion of all the parts of the District Census Handbooks. Anotherfavourable factor this time is the early decision of the State Government to permit printing in private presses as and when Ithe work-load on the State Government Presses is heavy and likely to result in delay in the bringing out of the District Census Handbook of any distriot. It would not be out of place to point out here that the work-load in connection with Ithe District Census Handbooks is very much more this time, not only on account of wider coverage but largely due to the decision to bring out the District Census Handbooks in Hindi ~s well as English. In all, there will be 172 publications, 4 per district of which 2 win be in Hindi and 2 in English. Advance action was taken this time to collect the non Census data and it is hoped that the combined volume of Pa11ts A and B of all the 43, districts would be out by the end of 1973 and Part C of all the districts by the middle of 1975. This would be a definite improvement on the 1961 performance when printing of the District Census Handbooks covered the period 1964 to 1967. 4. In his Preface to !the 1961 District Census Handbooks, my predecessor, Shri G. Jagathpathi, had observed thus, "It was not possible at this Census to base all Census statistics on the development block as the unit mainly because in 1961 there were many areas not till then covered by blocks. The coverage had become complete by about the middle of 1963 and ilt is not unlikely that the 1971 Census will recognise the block as the basic field unit as much for purposes of presentation as for operational pur poses.". It has not been possible to adopit the development block as the basic unit for operation and presentation in this Census for more than one reason. Firstly, the office of the Block Develop. mel2t Officer was abolished in December, 1965; its resurrection in the form of office of the Block De_velopment Assistant from 2-10-69 had not taken firm roots up to Ithe time field arrangements for the :9/1 Census were. finalised. Secondly, the tahsil as a unit of field arrangements has many more advan lages, the most significant being the ready availability of that legendary functionary-the patwari-wiJthout whose active co-operation it would be a formidable task to determine whether a habited structure in a cultivated field is part of village X or Y. Even, otherwise, since village-wise figures are available, it ~?OUld not be difficuLt for those in need of data for intermediate units between the village and !the tahsil, .;.ke the .development block or patwari halka, to compile ilt by adding figures of concerned villages. he ta~sll has for long been a fixed unit of administration and, to my mind, should be retained In preference to the development block whose jurisdiction may undergo a change in ac;c:ordance with the pace of future development. 5. In conclusion, I would like to place on record my grateful (thanks to the Government of Madhya Pradesh for having &0 kindly agreed to undertake the publication of the Handbooks in hindi as well as english to the various government and semi-government offices for un-hesitatingly making available the non-Census sta,tistics, and to the Controller, Government Press, and his staff for arranging eaiIy printing in the Government and private Presses.
