·CENSUS OF INDIA, 1971 SERIES 16 ORISSA PART X DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK PART A-TOWN AND VILLAGE DIRECTORY SAMBALPUR B. TRIPATHI ,of the I ndlan Administrative Service .Dlrector of Census Operations. Orissa CENSUS OF INDIA. 1971 DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOO~ PART A-TOWN AND VILLAGE DIRECTORY SAMBALPUR PREFACE The District Census Handbook first introduced as an ancillary to 1951 Censu! appeared as a State Government Publication in a more elaborate and ambitious form in 1961 Census. It was divided into 3 parts: Part I gave a narrative account of each District; Part II contained various Census Tables and a series of Primary Census data relating to each village and town; and Part III presented certain Administrative statistics obtained from Government Departments. These parts further enrich~ by inclusionof maps of the district and of police stations within the district were together brought out in one volume. The Handbook, for eacb one of the 13 Districts of the State wa! acknowledged to be highly useful. 2. But the purpose and utility of this valuable compilation somewhat suffered on account of the time lag that intervened between the c_onclusion of Census and the publication of the Handbook. The delay was unavoidable in the Sense that the Handbook complete with all the constituent parts brought together in one volume had necessarily to wait till after completion of the processing and tabulation of Census data and colh:ll'tion and compilation of a large array of administrative and other statistics. 3. With the object of cutting out the delay, and also to making each volume handy and not-too-bulky it has been decided to bring out the 1971 District Census Handbook in three parts separately with the data becoming available (rom stage to stage as briefly indicated below: Part A-This part will incorporate the Town Directory and the village Directory for each district. The town Directory will contain certain essential data completed in six statements relating to each town of the district. The Village Directory, besides giving statistical data relating to various amenities 'existing in a village. will also provide basic data bearing on land use. A separate consolidated Town Directory will also be brought out at all­ India level as well as at State level in Part VI-A of the Census publication series at a later stage. vi part B-Part B will render a stastistical account of each village as also of each town tahsilwise and within a tahsil, -poiice-stationwise. For each town the data will again be presented ward wise and fUrther down in terms of each enume­ rator block. The data so presented by the lowest administrative unit will include the number of occupied residential houses and households, total popu­ lation by sex and literates, population of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, workers classified- into nine industrial categories and non-workers, ge'oeraJly referred to as Primary Census Abstract or simply P. C. A. This volume will also contain administrative maps of the district, tahsils and police­ stations. Part C-This will contain a short write-up on the district and will also contain administrative statistics and various Census Tables of the district. 4. In pursuance of this scheme publication of Parts A and B of the Hand­ book has been taken in hand. It will be our endeavour to bring out both the parts for all the 13 districts of the State complete with P.C.A. and maps of different administrative units during this year and the next. Part C of the Hand-book will come out later. 5. An explanatory note is given at the beginning of tbe town Directory as wen as the Village Dlrectory introducing the statements included therein. The concepts and definitions of the various subjects covered in the Directory and the abbreviations adopted have been explained in these notes. To facilitate location of any p:uticular village, the villages of each police station in a district have been arranged in an alphabetical order also indicating the code number of each village. The list is appended at the end of the Village Directory of each tahsil. An administrative map of the district is given at the beginning of the volume. 6. The information on amenities in the Village Directory have been collected through the agency of the Census enumeration staff and that of land use from the Tahsildars. The statistical data relating to Town Directory have been collected from different departments of the Central and State Governments. Block Development Officers and Executive Officers of Municipalities and Notified Area Councils. 7. Collection, coUation and compilation of such massive data in respect of each of 51,639 villages and 81 towns in their various aspects is a formidable· task. Tbough aU possible care has been taken through check and recheck to vii remove discrepancies in the figures, the possibility of errors still creeping ir:tto them cannot be altogether ruled out. Notwithstanding these limitations, the mass of the statistical information presented in the Direttories will, it is hoped, come handy and prove useful to the Government, local bodies; scholars and other data users engaged in rural and regional planning. 8. I must place on record my deep appreciation and thanks tothe Heads of Departments of Government, Local Bodies, District Officers, Tahsildars, Block Development Officers, Executive Offi(;ers of Municip3.lities and Notified Area Councils among others but fOf whose unstiuted co-operation and help this voluminous compilation would not have been possible. In my office I am sp~cial!y indebted to the Deputy Director Shri B.N.Das, Tabulation Officers Shri D. Satapathy and Shri L. N. Mishra and staff for the perseverance, dili­ gence and zeal with which they applied themselves to this none-too-easy and arduous task. CUTTACK B. Tripathi The 10th January, 1972 CONTENTS PAOE I.
