The Census Reports in olden times were printed one for the whole Province of Rn,jputana and another for Ajmer Merwara. Some of the Principal Sta,teR now merged in Rnjasthan published their own reports. This timo the State Census Reports ha,ve been pnbliRhed in the following volumes:- J. Part I-A Beport. 2. Part I-B Subsidinn' TableR and District Index of Non-Agl'iculturu,l Ocenpntioll s. " :1. Part I-C Appendicns. 1.

Part Il-B Economic 'rabIes. They ('ontHllll statistics down to the district level. The idea of preparing the District Census Handbook separately for each district was put forward by Shri R. A. Gopalaswami, I. C. S., Registrar General, India, and ex-Officio Census Commissioner of India, as part of a plan intended to secure an effective method of preserving the census records prepared for areas below the district level. He proposed that all the district census tables and census abstracts prepared during the process of sorting and compilation should be bound together in a single manuscript volume, called the District Census Handbook, and suggested to the State Governments that the handbook (with or without the addition of other useful information relating to the district) should be printed and published, at their own cost, in the same manner as the village statistics in the past. In accepting this suggestion, the Government of Rajasthan decided to print and publish the more important portion of statistical data reli1ting to the district and to preserve the rest of the records in ::t m::tnuscript volume for ::tny future US8, to which tbey mfty be put. 'fhis Ha,ndbook contains five General Population 'I'::tbles of A Series, three Economic Tables of B Series, five Household and Age 'rabIes of C Series, Reven Social and Cultural 'rabIes of D Series, one table E giving summary for the district and teh~ils, a locf11 table 'KA' showing infirmities by R,ge groupR and an Index of Non-agricultnra,l Occupations. Each table contains an explanatory note necessary for the proper underRtanding of the figures. The numbers given to the tables in this Handbook correspond to those givon in Htate CensuR Reports. Village Directories were published for the first time in 1931 by a {mv StatE'S of Hajpnt::tna. 'rhe example \\"a:<. fol1owed by :\11 the States in 1941. They contf1inr-d for each village the popl1lation figures by religion and a,lso Rome other uReful information. They were bound in 11 volume one for each State. 'filii> time the Village Directories fl,re also incorpoff1ted in thiR Handbook under the name of" Primary Census Abstract and Village Directory" which sho,y the basic population figures separately for each village or town-ward classified by Ii velihood classes instead of religion and also SOBlC information of general nature. Opportnnity has been taken to put ill a short introductory note detailillg the salient points connected with the district, such as the physical features, clitnftte, millfall, irri gation and drainage facilities, :rof1dF; and other communications, agriculture, education, ~ndustries and other matters of general interest. The information contained in the llltroductory note is ba,sed on the mtlterial furnished by Collectors of districts and Depart ments of Government. In addition to tho above, some figures of genera,l intofeRt and a review of population figures hitve also bO(,11 incorporn,ted. II rfile scheduled dn,te fol' the publication of the Handbooks aR prescribed by tho Registrar General, India, was," Not later than March, B52" but practical experience showed its publica.tion by that time an impraoticability. Even the compilation of the tables together with its final touch could not be completed by that time. Then came the question of printing which proved to be a huge task. There are 25 districts in Rajasthan and 1 in Ajmer. The total number of printed pages turned out to be nearly 9000. The Government Presses were already over burdoned with the printing work of other depart ments and in the printing of census publications priority was given to Central Govern ment Publications i.e. the State Census lteports. The result was that till March, 1954, for 14 out of 26 districts the P. C. A. and Village Directory could not be printed specially because the press had no stock of small type which was essential for their printing. It was, therefore, decided to publish the handbooks in two volumes. Part I, consists of introduction, a brief review of population figures and, (1) General population 'rabIes ( A-I to A-V. ) (2) Economic Tables ( B-I to B-III ) (3) Household and Age ( Sample) l'ables ( C-I to C-V ) (4) ~ocial and Oultural Tables ( D-T to D·Vn) (i)) B-Sumrna,ry figures by Administmti \"(' U nitRo (G) 1..1oca1 Table' K.A ' infirmities, and (7) District Index of Non-Agricultund OccllpationR. Pfltl't II contains only Primary Census Abstracts :tnd Village Directory. The Handbooks of the Ajmey, Sirohi and Jha1awar Districts are, however, bring publiRhec1 in one volume because they have heen completed by this time. While every care hn,s been taken to ensure the correctness of figures and village names, certain mistakes might have crept in. I shall be gJ'a,teful if they a,re brought to my notice. Y. L. DASHORA. IBU.iB:uNU DISTIUCr . INTRODUCTION. I. Physical Aspectl, 1. Jhunjhunu DiRtric' forms the north-western par~ of J 3ipUl Division and is 'hI . border district of Rajastha.n in its north-east.

This river flows only during 'he ra.iny season and dries up quickly as the rains are over. There are two other riYers of lesler importance known as Parasrllompurawali Nadi and Bassi Nadi.
