To ensure that these statistics are available to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the District Census Handbook has been divided into three parts. This is the first part of the series, the Village and Town Directory, which mostly comprises non-Census data. We are deeply indebted to the State Government for their everwilling and pronlpt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf. I wish to express my gratitude to Sri M. Lal, Chief Secretary to U. P. Government, for all the guidance and faciL ties affor­ ded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to Sri P .C. Pandey, Sec~etary G. A. D. (Now Commissioner, Rohilkhand Division Bareilly) and his successor, Sri A. P. Dixit, fo1' the facilities given by them in sorting out various administrative matters relatjng to the publication of these Handbooks. I am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole-hearted co-opera­ tion in furnishing the desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard work and sustained efforts in collecting the same. The programme for the printing of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published, one in Hindi and two in English. The arrangements made by Sri A. Dar, Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U. P., Allahabad for the printing of these volumes, are thankfqIly acknowledged. Joint Superintendent, Sri J. S. Gupta, lIe New Government Press, Aishbagh, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for this stupendous task of compilation and collation of statistics, preparation of notes and reading of proofs. I am grateful to Sri K. S. Sinha, Deputy Director, Headquarters, the Tabulation Officer and other staff of the Technical Section, who have shared the burden and helped in bringing out these Handbooks. I must also express my gratitude to Sri A. Chandrasekhar, Registrar General, India, Sri K. D. Ballal and Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrars General and Sri K. K. Chakravorty', Central Tabulation Officer for their constant help and guidance despite their own heavy pre-occupations. Lucknow D. M. SINHA Dated:October 3) 1972. Director of Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh. INTRODUCTORY NOTE: History or District Census Handbook It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population lof 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 outbreak of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were,published for all "districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owin~ to financial strmgency, resultinc; in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the ,second World "Var, but the utility of Census s~tistics was recognised and these were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form wal brought out at the 1951 Census, and was publi. shed alongwilh anoLher volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1~61 Census~ att~ empts were made to render the District Censcls Handbook more inform~tive, as in addJtion to Census data penaining to each village... data about its level of devtloment and ameni­ ties wer.:: also coll.:.cted. At the 1971 Census. efforts have been made to compile bo.h Census and non-Census statistics at villageitown level in a unlfurm manner wilh an en!~rged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics available for the smaller territorial un.its, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administratiun, demar­ cation of eleClor al constituencies, planning and development and so on. To ensure that these ~ta.istICS are aVi;1.11cLbie to the users early, the Uhtrlct Census Ha,ndbook has been divided fllr being published separately into three parts: Part A : Town and Village Directory Part B : VIllage a:ll Town-wise Primary Census Abstract Part C : Analytical Report and Administrative Statement-District Census Table'. 2. Scope of Distdc:t Census Handbook Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village ... Directory. In village Direc­ tory, pclrtlcular.s of amenuies in legard to educati,m, med.cal, power supply, drinking, water suppl,., PIJllt and telegraph and cummunica,ions have been given. BeSides, it con­ tains lan..t-use slat.1stics, d"ys 01 weekly markets aud places of religIOUS, hlSlOrical or archa­ eol .. glCal mteres£ In ea~h vJllage. The Town DilectolY comprising seven statements tluows hght 01.1. the status ot the town.. its origlll.. growth of population, functional category, lOl.a.ion ana ph)sical aspe<.ts, lv'lulllcipal financLs" CIViC and other amenities.. Medical a1.l.(J '-(.lUcatloA.a! fa~iHties and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from. these it also gives the aistribution of population of the town by re1iglOu ana i::>cheduled CaostesjSchedult.d Tribes. Part 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 occupied residential houses and households, total population and its break-up by lex, ( iii ) acfieduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate population, working population by nine broad inulutrial categories of culth"ators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged in forestry and live­ stock etc.~ in mining and quarrying, in ml.nufacture or repair, in construction, in trade and commerce" in transport and communications and in other services as well as the non-working popuJ.atioJ"l.. Part C deals with the administrative statistics pertaining to the district in all fields of development. The Census tables pertaining to language) -religion, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A write-up indicating changes in socio-econo­ mic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is also being inclu­ ded in it. 3. Town Directory given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns of 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 urbJ.n classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large majority of inhabitants who are engaged in illdustrial and non-agricultural activities. In addition to its size, population and occupational characteristics> 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 Muni­ cipal Corporations, MuniCipal Boards, Cantonment Boards, Notified Areas and Town Areas are considered as town" and according to their average annual income from their Own resources, these have been classified into different classes of local bodies. The criteria adopted under the Census Operations is slightly different from the State Government. In 1971 Census all places satisfying the following conditions have been treated as Towns :_ 1. All Municipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonments & Notified Areas. 2. All localities though not in themselves local bodies but forming part of a city or town agglomeration. 3. Other places satisfying all the three undermentioned conditions: (i) Population exceeds 5,000. (ii) At least 75% of the male working population engages in non-agricultural pet.. suits, and (iii) The density of population exceeds 1,000 persons per sq.
