This Is the I valuable district. level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State (so , Union Territory administration. It Inter-alb provides data/Information on some of the basic demographl( and soclo-economlc characteristics and on the availability of cerialn 1m po. _ ~~ civic amenities/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 soclo-cultural 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 account 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 Territories. 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Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be published In many StateslUTs due to considerable delay In compilation of relevant ,material. In 1981, some new features along with the restructuring of the fonnats 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 Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) Including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsll/town level were provided In Part-B. To IIrustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together In the Village Directory and If an amenity was not available In the referrent village, the distance In broad 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 m~et some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum NeeCfs Programme. Similarly, Information on approach to the village was also provided for the tirst time In the Village Directory so as to give an Idea about the number of Inaccessible villages In each district. In case of Town Directories 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 programme for providing better civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of class J and class " towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added In Statement IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of thl! DCHs for the 1991 Census Is by and large the same as followed In 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly In the 1991 Census for the benetit 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 enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all. children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It Is expected that the abov(' mentioned modlflcatlons 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 level presentation of data In the Village Directory and f'CA Instead of the traditional Tahsil/TaJukiPS level presentation. It Is expected that the presentation of Village DIrectory· and PCA data at C.D.
