Illodilicatiolls al'tt:r each decennial Census. This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by thl! Census Organisdtioll llll In:half l)f em:h State (lovL/Union Territory administration. Ii inter-alia provides data/infmmation 011 some llf the basic del110grarhic and socio-economic characteristics ami on the availability of n:rl;lin important ei,·ic amenities/facilities in each village and lown of thl! respective districts. This publicatiun has lhu~ pnwcd 10 be of immense utility to the ·planners, administrators, ae(llil!micians and resean:hcr!-.. The scope of thc DCII was initially l'onlillcd Itl certain important census tables on population, economic and sO~'io-cultural aspects ;IS also the Primary Censlis Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs pUhlish('d after lhe 1%1 (\'nslls l'llntained a dt:~criptive accollnt of the district, administrative statistics, ceIlSl!<; tableS and \,ilbgt: and Town Dirt:ctorics including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parIS of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town DirectOries and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were rcleaseu in all tht: Slates and Union Territories. The third part, Part C of tht: District Ct:INIS Handhooh comprising administrative statistics and district census t;thles, which W;IS also to be brought llUt, could Hot he pllhlish('d in many Stales/UTs due to considerable delay in compii;ttion (If relevant material. III I')SI, ~lI111e new f<':;ltlln;s alongwith th<.: restru(~turing of the formats of Village and Town Dirl'ctory were introduced in the DO·ls. These were publishe<.l in two parts for each district after the Jl)~l Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directurics, the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wisd indudill!,: Scheduled Caste and Scheuuld Tribe PCA lIpto tehsilitown level were provided in P;lrt-B. To illustrate, all the allleniti<.:s except electricity, were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referent villagc, thc uistance in broad ranges from the nearc~t place having such amcnity was givcn. Information on some nt:w itcms such as auult literacy centres, primary health sub-ccntres and colllmunity health workers in the village were provided so as to l11eet SlIme llftht: rcquircmenls of the Re\i~t:d Minimum NlTds Programllle. Similarly, information on approach 10 Ihe yilbge was abo pr\l\·ided for the lirst -lime in the Village Oireetory !',o as to give an idea about til(: numher of in;lct\:~~ihk villagl's in cach distril't. In casc of Town Directories also, keeping in view the r('quir\.'l11t'nts of til(' !\1inilllulll Needs I'rogramme,_ a Statement IV-A on ~lull1s was provided so as to enahle thc pbnncrs to chalk (lut the programmes for providing bella civic ,lIld other lImenilics in the slums. In this Statement lktails on ci\'ic and otller amenilics were reported for the slums of Class I and Class 11 towns. Apart frnll1 this, one wlumn on the Scheduled Castcs and Scheuuleu Tribes population alld ;U1othcr on adult literacy CbSsl:s/(.'cntrl's were added in Statelllcnts IV and V respet'livc!y, The manner of presentation of the DCJ-Is for Ihc )W) CClISIIS is by :ll1d large the same as follO\\'I:d 111 IlJSl. However, lhe formal of PCA has been restnlctun:d stightly in the )I)t)] ('l:nstls for the bendit of data lIsers, Nine-fold industrial classilicatioll of main workl;rs has becn givcll as against four-fold industrial classilication pn:st:nted in the (I)~I Censlls, In additilln to this. the sex-wise popUlation in the 0-6 age-group has also heen included in PCA for Ihe !irsl time with a ,·iew 10 cnabling Jata USCI'S to compute more realistic literacy r;ltes as all children below 7 y<:ars of age han: been treated as illiterate at the tim\.! of the IlJlJ1 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modilications will help the . planners in chalking out Illore effect in: developmental program Illes. (v) O,V: of the most important innovations i,l the 1'JIJ! Census is the Cilll1mlllli!y Dcn:lopmclll Block-b'd presentation or data in the Village Oirct'lOry and peA instead of the Ir'aditi,l!l:tI Tahsilrralllk/PS kvd presentation. It is expected that the pn:scnlalion of VillagL' Dir..:cwry ill'id PCA llal~l at C.D.Block h.:vcl will help the planners in formulation of micro-level lkvclopmclltal plans, as the CD. Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning, In order 10 faeilitalt: the task of administf4110rS, planners and researchers inlending to usc Village Directory/PCA data, either from the magl1l.:tie lapes!lloppics or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes. for each village haye been provided for the 11)')1 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. • This public:!tion is a joint venture of the Siale (Jovl./UT "dmillisll';!lioll ;!lld Jhe Census Org,mj!i'lIion.
