'l'ra,ct:-Ill past censuses th_e census figures were tabulated by administrathe units i.e districts, tehsils etc. This time in almost all tables the figures have been represented by units which have been technically called • TRACTS". Tracts are of three kinds, (1) all villages of a sub-division taken together form one rural tract; (2) all towns (which are not cities) of a district taken together fo! m an "urban non-city tract" and (3) every city is an "urban city tract" or in short "city tract". A list of tracts comprised in each district has been given in the handbook of the district. Town:- '\ town has been defined as every municipality, ever.\ cantonment or every village whil"h had a population of 5,000 or over in 1941 or any other village which was treated as a town for special reasons by the State Censu~ Super intendent. Oity:--A "city" is nornlally defined aB a town with a population of one lac or over, but this definition has been relaxed in Rajasthan, and towns with a population of 50,000 or over have also been treated as cities, to l·ring the deflllition in uniformity with the one adopted in the Municipal Act. Village:-A "village" means a revenue mauza whose revenue is realised under a separate name It ilicludes all hamlets attached to it. House: A "house" has been defined as every structure made of any material which is actually used as human habitation or if Hot so used IS capable of being so used, which h,_. s a separate main en crance from the street, lane, bye-lane, etc. It includes structures of all kinds such as residential houses, temples, mosques, offices etc. The minimum which wa~ nect-'ssary for qualifying a structure to be classed as a h~)use was at least two walls and a roof made of any material. Occupied House: "Occupied houses" were those which were used actually for the residence of hum&n beings. Household:-A '"Household" has been de tined to mean and include all persons living in one and the same house and dining at a comtnon mess irrespective of their blood relationshjp e g. serv <Lnt" residing With their masters and taking llleals in their kitcht"ns were treated as members of the master's hduseholds. On the contrary even nearest relatives as husband or wife were treated as separate families if, f,)1' any reason, they happened to Ii ve in separate buildings and dine at separate kitchens. Household PopUlation: "Household Population" nleans' persons living in numbered houses as members of a commensal family includmg guests and servants. Tt does not include a; houseless persons or: (b) inmatps of institu tions like jails, hospitals, hostels, dak bungalows, boarding houses; orphanages, sarais, dh[trmashalas, police lines, military lines, asylums etc. Displaced person: «A displaced person" was defined "as a person who llligrated from Western Pakistan after 1st March 1947, OF froln Eastern Pakistan after 15th uctober 1946, due to comm.:.:mal disturbances or fear of disturbances or due to partition of India and Pakistan. Children born to such persons after their migration to India were not to be treated as displaced persons. " WGrd: -" A 'Aard" was defined as municipal ward in case of rnuni eipal towns. In non-rnunicipal towns wards have been made arhitrarily by the CenfiuFl Department. Means of Livelihood: - In former censuses it was cU" tomary to represent the basic population data by community or religion. This time an innovatiun has been made and in most of the tables the figures are published by means of livelihood groups All occupations have been classified under eight broad classes and given code numbers which are as follows: I .. Cultivators of land wholly or mainly owned and their dependants. 3 II Cultivators of land wholly or mainly unowned and their dependants III Cultivating labourers and their dependants IV Non-Cultivating owners of land, agricultural rent receivers and their dependan ts V Production other than cultivation VI Commerce VII Transport VIII Miscellaneous and other services N. B. In most of the Tables. the mil class number is only given instend of describing the claRS. Code No.-In the enumeration stage a set of location code nunlbers was prescribed to identify oach inhabited spot whereby tho districts were numbered serially within the State, tehsils within a district and cities, towns and villages within a tehsiI. Similarly houses were numbered within a village and households within each house. Hamlets were given sub-number under the number of the parent village Key.to Symbols mil Means of livelihood T Total R Rural U Urban P Persons M Males F Females Letter qM" vi.~hen used within the name of a city indicates "Munioipality" letters "rr.~B." .
