The demographic situation in its totality on the other hand, influences the economic, social and cultural developments.

It is hoped that this compilation will help stimulate consider able research in the field of urban studies. Compilation of non-censuS data presented in this book had called for assistance and close co-operation from the State Government which was made available to us in plenty for which we arc ever So grateful.

Other members of the staff who were associated with the production of this work at various stages are listed overleaf. They all deserve thanks of this organisation. We had originally intended to present maps of all towns in this book. Due to certain difficulties it has not been possible.

Such planning has two dimensions. For the purposes of th~ 1971 Census the term 'Town' In the first place, newly emerging towns and colonies stands for all urban units e.g. municipal towns, cities, are to be planned and in the second, the old towns are cantonments and notified areas as well as all other to be given a face-lift. In both the cases, modern places designated as Census Towns, which satisfy the amenities have to receive maximum care and attention. following criteria: Before old towns can be given a new look: and new ones provided with the modem· amenities, some basic (i) a minimum population of 5.000; statistics about the towns are a prime necessity for (ii) at least 75% of the male working population successful planning.
