Gohad state had 360 forts and fortresses all around for the protection of their people. Out of these Gohad fort is most important and is a unique example of architecture of Jat rulers.Umara-i-Uzzam Maharaja Mahendra Gopal Singh Bhadauria, a Rajput Maharaja of Bhadawar 1707/1730, was appointed governor of Narwar in 1707. In 1708 he captured the Jat fort of Gohad and in 1712 stormed the fort of Rampura. It had the same style of architecture as used by the Jat rulers in Bharatpur Fort. Some old stories also mention that this fort was gifted to the Wazir of Scindia’s Court, Shivaddin Pakhre for his years of service to the emperor. Currently the fort is under the ASI. iii iv CONTENTS Pages From to Foreword vii - viii Preface ix - x Acknowledgements xi - xii History and scope of the District Census Handbook xiii - xiv Brief history of the district xv Analytical Note 1 - 78 I Physical Features 3 - 5 II Census Concepts 6 - 15 III Non Census Concepts 16 - 29 IV 2011 Census findings 30 - 31 V Brief analysis of the PCA Data based on inset tables 1 to 35 32 - 58 VI Brief analysis of the Village Directory and Town Directory data based on inset table 36 to 45. 58 - 67 VII Major social and cultural events, natural and administrative developments and significant activities during the decade. 68 VIII Brief description of places of religious, historical or archaeological importance in villages and places of tourist interest in the towns of the district. 68 - 69 IX Major characteristics of the district, contribution of the district in the form of any historical figure associated with the district. 70 X Scope of the Village and Town Directory - column heading wise explanation and coverage of data. 70 - 78 Village and Town Directory 79 - 532 Brief note on Village Directory 81 - 85 Section I - Village Directory 86 - 459 (a) List of Villages merged in Towns and Outgrowths at 2011 Census and List of villages merged in Other villages, Submerged and Declassified- 2011 Census 86 1 (b) Map of Ater CD Block showing tahsil boundary. 87 (c) Alphabetical list of Villages of Ater CD Block along with location code 2001 and 2011. 89 - 95 (d) Village Directory data of Ater CD Block in prescribed format. 96 - 159 2 (b) Map of Bhind Block showing tahsil boundary. 160 (c) Alphabetical list of Villages of Bhind CD Block along with location code 2001 and 2011. 163 - 167 (d) Village Directory data of Bhind CD Block in prescribed format. 168 - 199 v 3 (b) Map of Mehgaon CD Block showing tahsil boundary. 200 (c) Alphabetical list of Villages of Mehgaon CD Block along with location code 2001 and 2011. 203 - 209 (d) Village Directory data of Mehgaon CD Block in prescribed format. 210 - 281 4 (b) Map of Gohad CD Block showing tahsil boundary. 282 (c) Alphabetical list of Villages of Gohad CD Block along with location code 2001 and 2011. 285 - 291 (d) Village Directory data of Gohad CD Block in prescribed format. 292 - 355 5 (b) Map of MihonaCD Block showing tahsil boundary. 356 (c) Alphabetical list of Villages of Mihona CD Block along with location code 2001 and 2011. 359 - 361 (d) Village Directory data of Mihona CD Block in prescribed format. 362 - 393 6 (b) Map of Lahar CD Block showing tahsil boundary. 394 (c) Alphabetical list of Villages of Lahar CD Block along with location code 2001 and 2011. 397 - 403 (d) Village Directory data of Lahar CD Block in prescribed format. 404 - 459 e) Appendices to Village Directory 461 - 505 Appendix-I Summary showing total number of villages having 462 - 465 Educational, Medical and other amenities - C.D. block level Appendix-I A Villages by Number of Primary Schools 466 Appendix-I B Villages by Primary, Middle and Secondary Schools 466 Appendix-I C Villages with different sources of drinking water facilities 467 available Appendix-II Villages with 5000 and above population which do not have 468 one or more amenities available.

It contains both Census and non Census data of urban and rural areas for each District. The Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each Village and Town and ward of the District. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected during 1st phase of the Census i.e. House Listing and Housing Census. The non Census data presented in the DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various infrastructure facilities available in the village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication and transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities. Later on, the Telegraph Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th July, 2013. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level. 2. In the 1961 Census, DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District, administrative statistics, Census tables and Village and Town Directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town Directory, Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, District Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages. The 1981 Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and Part-B the PCA of Village and Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. 3. The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/Taluk/PS level presentation. 4. As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodity’ manufactured in a Village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier Censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of ‘notified slums’. 5. The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly added amenities are: Pre- Primary School, Engineering College, Medical College, Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non- vii formal
