CENSUS OF INDIA 197] SERIES 21 UTTAR PRADESH PART D-A-SUPPLEMENT GENERAL POPULATION TABLES D. M. SINHA OJ The Indian Administratiue Sernice, Director of Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh. PREFACE The concept of Standard Urban Area was a new one at the 1971 Census and it replaces to great advantage the concept of Town-group that was in vogue at the 1961 Census. The Town-group was made up of inter-dependent Urban Units not necessarily contiguous to one another. This concept did not help effectively in tackling the problem of compilation of data in respect of potentially urbanizable areas and was therefore of limited use. Further, the data of such town groups would become incomparable from Census to Census as the boundaries of towns changed, the intermediate areas having been left out of account. Becaw::e of these inher~t defects, the concept of town-group came in for criticism at the hands of various social scientists and town planners and was consequently given up at the 1971 Censu's in favour of a new concept of Standard Urban Area that could yield comparable data at the coming Censuses. Thus, the delineation of Standard Urban Areas can wen'be considered as the beginning of a new approach to urban studies and it can form the base for future studies. The concept of Standard Urban Area has been explained in full in the Introductory note to this volume appearing in the following pages. The delimitation of Standard Urban Areas and preparation of their frame­ work is the product of the joint efforts of the State Town & Country Planning Department and the Census Directorate. It is gratifying that the seeds of this collaboration between the two departments that were sown at the national level in the year 1969 have borne .fruit~ in the shape of successful completion of this pro­ ject. I am thankful to the Town & Country Planning Department, Uttar Pradesh for their unflagging cooperation and close assistance in carrying out this project. I particularly owe my grateful thanks to Shri J. P. Dube, Chief Town & Country Planner, Uttar Pradesh and Shri C. S. Chandrasekhara, Town & Country Planner, Govt. of India, who always gave their keen personal attention to the execution of this project. In the Census Directorate, Uttar Pradesh, the Social Studies Section and the Map Section were actively associated with the preparation of frame-work and draw­ ing of maps and the State Tabulation Unit with the tabulation of data and prepa­ ration of analytical notes. All the officials connected with this project gave the best account of themselves and deserve my profound thanks. I am particularly thankful to Shri Om Prakash, Deputy Director Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh, on whom the responsibility of finalizing the entire material devolved almost ex­ clusively at the conc1uding stage. I am also thankful to Shri D. P. Saxena, Deputy Director, SjShri S. R. Gupta, Tabulation Officer, R. K. Saxena, Printing Inspec­ tor and R. P. S 'ivastava, Assistant Compiler for the zeal shown by them in the printing of this important volume. I must also express my grateful thanks to the office of the Registrar General, India, for issuing timely guide-lines/clarifications and removing all sorts of difficulties as and when we approached them. They took immense pains to scrutinize almost the entire material of this volume. I am extremely grateful to Shri A. Chandra Sekhar, formerly Registrar General, India and Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrar General, India (SS) for their constant guidance at every stage of this project. D. M.
