In the case of the C - series of tables, except C-I, the data were extract Oil the basis of a sample count of approximately 10% of the census slips inste­ of a full count of all the slips. C-l. table was prepared from a four P("" B'-IffilJle of the households ['ecorded in the National Register of Citizens retat tn each town ol'village. In 1941, the population fi!.(111'fld were exhibited according to cOlllmnnities in the "Village Hanclboo(i:s" l.lllbll~ht'd by Ill" Govel'llmem of Bombay. In 1951, the basis of classification at the Census was chanl-(eLi from a social to an !-'conoIUic .:InfO, and the figUl'es for villaged given in Lha Pr'irnary Censns Abstracts and in la-,Ies A-V, B-1, B-1I, C-lI and E, are accurdll1g to the following eIght livelin. Classes:- Agricultural Classes 1 Cultivators of lano, wholly 01' mainly owned; and their depenua Il Cultivators of land, whully Or mainly unowned; and dependants. III Cultivating labourers; and their dependants. IV Non-cultivating owners of land; a.>Jl'icnltw·al rent recE-ivel's; their dependa.tlt~. NOD-Agricuiturmi Classes Persons (including dependants) who derive their principal means of Ii, hood from:- V Production other than cultivation. VI Commerce. VII Transport. VIII Other services and miscellaneous sources, Dependants, whether ealning or non-earning, were classified at the ,ensus according to the principal means of livelihood of the persons on whom ey were dependent. The Primary Census Abstracts, which contain basic information in ,1!pect of every village and town, have been arranged according to lalukas and petas, units into which every district is divided for administrative )urposes. The taluka was, however, too smalJ a unit to adopt for preparing .he main census ti\bles. Therefore, in the B, C and D series of tables figures l}ave been given for tracts and not for talukas and petas. Before sorting the .;ensus slips and tabulating the results, tracts were formed by combining the rural and urban areas of two or more talukas or petas. The tracts into which East Khandesh district was divided for the ourpose are shown below :- Rural Tracts (1) Rural areas ofJalgaon and Bhusawal talukas and Edlabad peta. (2) Rural areas ofYawal and Raver talukas. (3) Rural areas of Amalner and Parola talukas. (4) Rural areas of Chopda and Erandol talukas. (5) Rural areas of Chalisgaon taluka and Bhadgaon peta. (6) Rural areas of Jamner and Pachora talukas. Urban Tracts (1) Urban areas of ]algaon, Bhusawal, Yawal and Raver talukas. (2) Urban areas of Amalner, Parola, Chopda and Erandol talukas. (3) Urban areas of Chalisgaon, Jamner and Pachora talukas and Bhadgaor. peta Urban areas comprise the towns shown in table A-V. Shortly before the 1951 population census, a census of Small I ndustries was taken, and the result~ of this census are given in the table called "Small Scale Industrie:s Census-Employment in Establishments", mcli.tded in this handbook. The intention was to find out sometbing about Cottage and Home Industries and small workshops. The larger establishments, that is, power-using establishments with 10 or more workers and non-power us:ng e~tablishments vith :40 or more workers, were excluded from the scope of enquiry as they now submit returns under the Factory Act. The enquiry did not c~ncern itself also with workers functioning on their own and not employing other people, except when looms were used. If even one loom was used a return was required. Otherwise the concept was of an enquiry which embraced all forms of associate activity where articles were produced, repaired or 'ltherwise treated for sale, use or disposal. 4 A-I-Area, HOlJl DISTR.l ---I -----Occupied Houses r'rea i,l Taluka or Pet. square Villages Towns miles I lotal Rural Urban 2 3 4 5 6 7 District Total 4,467.3 1,424 29 274,957 194,024 80,933~ 1 Amalner 324.5 157 1 27,072 18,745 8,327 2 Bhadgaon 196.5 59 1 10,447 8,739 1,708 3 Bhusawal 32"8.5 103 3 27,580 15, 7I 7 n,863 4 Chalisgaon 460.4 125 1 25,363 21,120 4,243 5 Ohopda 293.5 no 3 20,375 13,471 6,904 6 Edlabad 249.5 79 9,646 9,646 7 Erandol 368.5 150 3 23,711 16,348 7,363 8 Jalgaon 319.6. 85 3 30,662 14,233 16,42! 9· Jamner 521.1 141 3 25,006 19,425 u,5 cH. 10 Pachora 308.7 115 4 19,683 13,623 6,060 11 Parola 291.4 107 I 13,320 10,257 3,063 12 Raver 361.3 113 2 21,380 17,986 3,394 13 Yawal 368.5 80 20,712 14,7H 5,998 Notes:- 1.
