The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administra tors, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional plans and as ~n aid to District administration. .The district census handbook is the only publication which provides' Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for the rural areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA for each vil!age and town of the di'strict. During 1961 Census the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series waS planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town direc10ry, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report., administrative statistics, district census tables and· certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages, However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and p~inting. While deSigning the format of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the forr'.lts. of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data :.<15 also been kept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brought toge~:l~r in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referrent village the distance in board ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalances in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centr~s, and community health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objetive in mind. The new item on approach to the village is to have an idea about the villages in the district which are inaccessible. A new column, "total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population to the total population has also been made with this view in mind. The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amenities in slums in Class-I and Class-II towns (Statement IV-A) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in statement V are also added inter alia with this view. A Significant addition is class of town in all the seven 'statements of the town directory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into consideration. The addition of the columns on civic administration 'status and population in a few statements also serves this purpose. [ VIII ] The format of the primary census abstract for the villages and towns has been formulated in the light of changes in the economic and other questions can\)assed through the individual slip of 1981 Census. In order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCH series it has been so designed that Part-A of the -volume contains village and town directory and Part-B, the PCA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto· Police Station/Town levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on peA and non cenSU5 data in relation to the infrastructure has been introduced to enhance its value. This district and Police Station level maps depicting the boundaries and other important features have been inserted at approrriate places, to further enhance the value of the publication. This publication is a joint venture of the State Goverement and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled in the state under the direction of Shri S. N. Ghosh, lAS, the Director of Cenaus Operations, West Bengal on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Shri N. G. Nag, Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) of my office. Dr. B. K. Roy, Deputy Registrar General (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. Data received from Census Direcrorates have been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division at the head quarters under the guidance of Shri M. M. Dua, Senior Research Officer. I am thankful to aU· who have contributed in this project. ::\ew Delhi P.
