To ensure that these statistics are av£!.ilable to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the District Census Handbook has been divided into three parts.

Director of Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh INTRODUCTORY NOTE 1. Wstory or District Census Handbook. It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A lilt showing the population of villages in each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the out break of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics In 1931 village wise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics was recognised and these were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was publi shed alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, att- emptll were made to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in addition to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and ameni. ties were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Census and non.Census statistics ilt village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics available for the smaller territorial units, it is comtantIy referred to for several purposes of administration, demar cation of electoral constituencies, p.lanning the development and so on. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been divided for being published separately into three parts) Part A : Town and Village Directory Part B : Village and Town-wise Prim~ry Census A?stract Part C : Analytical Report and Administrati'\fl! Statements-District Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Census Handbook. • J Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village'" Directory. In village Direc- tory, particulars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, drinking water supply, Post and telegraph and Communications have been given. Besides, it con tains land-use statistics, days of weekly markets and places of religious, historical or archa eological interest in each village. The Town Directory comprising seven statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of popUlation, functional category, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of the town by religion and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes l"art B represents data down to village level for rural area and block level for towns. It contains the Primary Census Abstract which incorporates figures of area, number of ."cupieg re3iyen~i~1 ~o\lSes ~~d ho~~ebQlg.~, tqtal populatio~ ~mq iw J;m~i\k-uf by se~1 ( Iv ) scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate popt;lation, working popul<1tinn by nine broad industrial categories' of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers e.:1gaged in forestry and livestock etc., in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair; in construc tion, in trade and commerce, in transport and corn nunications and in other services as well as the non-working population. Part C deals with the administrative statistics pertaining to the district in all field of development. The Census tables pertaining to language, religion, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A wr;te up indicating changes in socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is als<;> being included in it. 3. Town Directory given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns )f the district There is no uniformly accepted definition of a town.. The historical, poli tical, cultural and administrative considerations are generally taken- as criteria for rural urban classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large majority of inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activities. In addition to lts size, population and Occup<1tional charactenstics, an urban area pro vides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical services, com munity facilities and other civic services According to the State Government, all ~1uni clpal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonment Boards, Notified Areas and Town Areas are considered 'as town, and accordmg to thier average annual income fro'Il their own resources, these have been classified into different classes of local bodies.
