This is the most valuabk district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Government II inion Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data information on some of the basic demographic and socio econom ic characteristics and on availbility of certain important civic ameniti~s/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. 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 sociocultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA ) of each village and town (ward - wise)of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive accont of the district administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA.After the 1971 Census. two parts of the District Census Handbooks ( Part - A : Comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territoryes. The third part (C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables. which was also to be brought out. could not to be published in many States! UTs due to considerably delay in compilation of relevant material. In 198 I ,some new features aloQg with the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were pu&liched in two parts for each district after the 1981 census. While Part - A : Comprised Village and Town Directories. the PCA of villages and towns (ward - wise) inculding Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto tehsil/!own level were provided in PArt - B : To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity. were brought together in the :-eferrent village, the distance in board ranges from 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 r~quirements of the Revised Minimum Needs programme. Sim ilarly, information of the approach to the village was also provided" for the first time during 1981 census in the Village Qi~ectory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villa~es in eacl:l district. In case of Town Directores also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme. a Statement IV - A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the 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 Classs II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Schedule Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy c1asses!centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as tollowed 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 aganist four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this. sex-wise population in the 0-6 age group has also been inculded in PCA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterates at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-levl'l presentation of data in the village directory and PCA instead of the tradition.!1 Tehsill Taluk IPS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of village ::lI1d Town directory and PCA data at C.D. Block level will help thL' planners information of micro - level developmeiltal plans, as the C.D. block is the lowest administrative unit 1"(11 developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task oradministrators. planners and researchers intending to use village Director~ PCA data. either from the magnetic tapesltloppies or from the published records. both the computer and manual codes for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codes of 198 I. This publication is ajoint venture of State Government (UT administration and the Census Organi ationThc data have been collected and compiled under the direction ofShri. K. Sam path Kumar, Director of Census Operations. vii Tamil nadu, on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of priniting. The task of planning, designing and co-ordination of the publication was initiated by Dr.
