NAMBIAR OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE SUPERINTENDENT OF CENSUS OPBRA TrONS, MADRAS 1965 Price Rs. 12 PREFACE It has been the policy of the Government of Madra.s to print and publish village­ statistics based on the information collected during each Census. In 1951, the Government of India offered to hand over to the State Government the Census Tables and abstraots prepared during Census and suggested that they might be printed and published along with any other useful information relating to each dililtrict. The. form of the District Census Handbook was thus conceived. The State Government accepted the idea and a publication wa.s brought out at the cost of the State Government. Each Dililtrict Census Handbook consisted of. two pa.rts-Part I cont~ining three sectioD., viz. General population Tables. Economic Tables, Table I, II and III of Small·Scale Industries, Summa.ry figures of district and talukB, rura.l and urban IiItatistics; and Part II containing C and D series, viz., Household and Age Tables and Sooia.l and Cultural Tables and District Occupational Abstract. A Distriet Census Handbook w~s published for eaoh district. It has been oonsidered an important achievement of the last Census. Sri A. Mitra, Registrar-General, India. decided not only to continue the 8eries during 1961, but to improve definitely on its content, so that each District Census Handbook would contain ba.sic economic data for the smallest administration unit in the district and be a useful reference book for scholars, Central and State Governments, Local bodies and private institutions. The proposal of widening the scope of the Census Hand­ book was accepted by the State Governm9nt in their G.O. Ms. No. 154, Public (Elections.II), dated the 31st January 1961. It wa.s also decided to publish it at the cost of the State Government. The Handbooks of all the districts are printed in two volumes except in the present c.. ,e and in the case of Kanyakumari district, where the volumes have been c@mpressed into one, The first volume contains an introductory essay on all important aspects of the district, physic.. l ' . features, history, people and their social condition, agriculture, industries, public health educa.tion, irrigation, electricity and other allied topics. It contains "A" Series Tables, "B" Series, "C" Series, SCT for ea.ch taluk, se T, ST I and II and a list of fairs and festivals in the distric\.

  • Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview
    Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview Tamil Nadu is bordered by Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka, which has a significant Tamil minority, lies off the southeast coast. Tamil Nadu, with its traceable history of continuous human habitation since pre-historic times has cultural traditions amongst the oldest in the world. Colonised by the East India Company, Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the state of Tamil Nadu was created in 1969 based on linguistic boundaries. The politics of Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, which are the products of the Dravidian movement that demanded concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Anai Malai hills and Palakkad (Palghat Gap) on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally an agricultural state, Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of agricultural products. Tribal Population As per 2001 census, out of the total state population of 62,405,679, the population of Scheduled Castes is 11,857,504 and that of Scheduled Tribes is 651,321. This constitutes 19% and 1.04% of the total population respectively.1 Further, the literacy level of the Adi Dravidar is only 63.19% and that of Tribal is 41.53%.

    ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS DEPARTMENT POLICY NOTE DEMAND No. 54 FORESTS 2014-2015 M.S.M. ANANDAN MINISTER FOR FORESTS © GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU 2014 DEMAND No.54 POLICY NOTE 2014-2015 FOREST DEPARTMENT INTRODUCTION "kâÚU« k©Q« kiyÍ« mâãH‰ fhL« cilaJ mu©" - ÂU¡FwŸ (742) "A fort is that which owns fount of waters crystal clear, an open space, a hill, and shade of beauteous forest near." - Thirukkural (742) The ancient Tamil poets have emphasized the importance of dense forests, clean water and fertile soil in providing ecological security to the mankind. Forests are a complex eco-system which play a dual role of a renewable resource and also as a vital support base for safeguarding the overall environment and ecological balance. It is forest cover that has preserved the soil and its heavy humus that has acted as a porous reservoir to 1 retain water and is gradually releasing it in a sustained flow over a period of time. Trees draw water from the earth crust and release it to the atmosphere by process of transpiration as a part of water cycle. Trees also purify the air by releasing oxygen into the atmosphere after consuming carbon-di-oxide during photosynthesis. The survival and well-being of any nation depends on sustainable social and economic progress, which satisfies the needs of the present generation without compromising the interest of future generation. Spiraling population and increasing industrialization have posed a serious challenge to the preservation of our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Overexploitation of our resources due to rapid population growth has lead to degradation of forests and denudation of agricultural lands.
