Chander Shakher Sapru Deputy Director of Census Operations, Jammu & Kashmir Product Code Number ??-???-2001 - Cen-Book (E) Budha Amarnath

-.wenty five Kms in the north east of Punch town is situated an ancient temple I of Lord Shiva on the left bank of Pulsta stream. The area is known as Rajpura Mandi, two Kms above Mandi village. The stream which flows near it, is Loran stream but it is believed by the locals that Ravan's grand father Pulasta Rishi performed his tapasya on the bank of this stream and thus came to be known a;s Pulasta stream. The motiff is about a unique Shlva temple which is located on the foot hill and not on the hill top and secondly the Shivaling of white marbled stone which is not manmade but a naturally formed Shivalinga. This shrine is said to be older than that of Amarnathji of Kashmir. The shrine is held i n high esteem by Hindus and Muslims alike. The pilgrimage to Budha Amarnath takes place every year on the occasion of 'Srovana Puranmashi", though people visit the shrine throughout the year. The shrine is revered by all and before partition many people used to visit this shrine from areas now occupied by Pakistan. It is believed to be very rewarding especially for barren couples and those without employment.

The District Census Handbook (DCHB) published by Census Organisation since 1951 Census, is one of the important publications in the context of planning and development at gross-root level. The publication, which is brought out for each district, contains several demographic and socio-economic characteristics village-wise and town-wise of the district, contains several demographic and socio-economi.c characteristics village-wise and town-wise of the district alongwith the status of availability of civic amenties, infrastructural facilities etc. The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town within the district. Thereafter, at successive Censuses, its scope and covrage has been enlarged. The DCHB published at the 1961 Census provided a descriptive'account of the district, administrative statistics, Census tables and a village and town directory including PCA. The 197 I Census DCHB series was in three parts: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and lown 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. The 1981 Census DCHB was in two parts: Part-A contained village ad town directory and Part-B the PCA of village and town including the SCs and STs PCA up 10 tahsil/town levels. New features alongwith restructuring of the formats of village and town directory were added into it. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. Information on new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet the requirements of some of tile Re\'ised Minimum Needs Programme. Information on approach to the village was provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to give the details on number of inaccessible villages in each district. In the Town Directory, a statement (IV-A) on ,!ums was introduced to provide the details on civic and other amenities in the notified slums of Class I and Class II towns. The 1991 Census DCHB, by and large, followed the pattern of presentation of 1981 Census, except the format of PCA was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex-wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of village directory and peA data instead of te traditional tahsil/talukIPS level presentation. It was expected that the presentation of village directory and PCA data at CD block level will help the planners in formualtion of micro level development plans, CD block being lowest administrative unit. Thre present series of 2001 Census DCHBs have been made more informative and exhaustive in terms of coverage and content. The Village Directory has been enlarged in scope by including a number of other facilities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers and magazines and 'most important commodity' manufactured in village. Income and expenditure of gram panchayat, wherever possible, has been provided. Apart from these, more details on distance(s) at which basic amenities are available (if not available in the village), arc given. This includes educational facilities (namely primary and middle schools and college), medical facilites (viz. Allopathic Hospital, Maternity & Child Welfare Centre and Primary Health Centre), drinking water, post & telegraph (post office and phone); communication, bank, credit socities and recreational facilities. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums has been modified and its coverage enlarged by including details on all slums instead of 'notified slums'. The information is given in case of all statutory towns (ix) irrespective of thier class, against on Iy Class 1 and Class II towns in the 1981 and 199 I censuses. The bas ic amenities available in the villages and towns are analysed in depth with the help of a number of cross classified inset tables and statements. Two other significant additions in the publication are inclusion of 'motif' highlighting significant characteristic of the district and analytical notes as annexures. The analytical notes on (i) fertility and mortality and (ii) various measures of fertility and mean age at marriage are prepared based on 1991 Census. Whereas, in, the notes relating to (i) percentage distribution of migrants by place of birth/place oflast residence, (ii) main religions, (iii) maritial status of population, (iv) age, sex and education, and (v) distribution of spectrum of mother tongue, nature and extent of changes occured in the district in its basic socio-demographic features during the decade 1991-2001 are analysed. The eight digits permanent location code (PLCN) to all the villages and towns have been assigned keeping in view the future needs. The village and town level amenity data have been collecterl_ compiled and computerised in prescribed record structure under the supervision of Shri C. S. Sapru, Dy Director of Census Operations, Jammu & Kashmir, Thereafter, efforts have been made to ensure Comparability of the information with that of 199 I Census data and the information brought out by the respective State governments in their annual reports and statistical handbooks for various years after 1991. The task of planning, designing and coordination of this publication was carried out by ShTi R.G. Mitra, Deputy Registrar General (C&T) and Dr. I.C, Agrawal, Senior Research Officer of Social Studies Division, Dr. R.P. Singh. Deputy Registrar General (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of maps. Whereas, Shri Anil Kumar Arora. Deputy Director of Data Processing Division who worked under the overall supervision of Shri Hlmakar. Add!. Director (EDP) helped in preparation of record structure for computerisation of village and town directory data and the programme for the generation of Village Directory and Town Directory statements including analytical inset tables, The draft DCHB manuscripts received from the Census Directorates have been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri S.L. Jain, Deputy Director and Shri R.K. Mehta. Assistant Director. I am thankful to all of them and others who have contributed to make this publication possible.

~e compilation and Publication of District Handbooks has been a Intditional feature of the Indian Census j_ since 1951. However, in Jammu and Kashmir State, no Census was conducted in 1951 & 1991 due to the unavoidable conditions prevailing then.The 2001 series or the District Census Handbook contain two parts each. Part- A deal with Town and Village Directory and Part-B consists of Town and Village-wise Primary Census Abstract.The Village Directory also follows the same pattern as in 1981 Census except for addition of few columns like C.D. Block-wise village data, C.D. Block-wise Primary Census Abstract and Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Primary Census Abstract etc'!t is hoped that with its present content the handbook would more than ever, serve as a useful reference publication, particularly for such administrators and data USers as have to deal with planning. implementation and evaluation of development programmes including the Minimum Needs Programme at the gross root level.The compilation of the Handbook would not have been possible but for the cooperation extended by the Revenue, Education, Medical. Public Health and other local authorities of the District in making data available for which lowe them my grateful thanks. The Census-2oo1 was sucessfully conducted in the State under the able steward,hip ofSh.Feroze Ahmad.IAS Director Census Operations. J&K, who had to work very hard to see the operations of Census through in the State under the disturbed conditions prevailing in the State. The data presented in this volume has been collected and tabulated under his supennsion and control. I am highly grateful to Sh.D.K.Sikri, lAS Additional Secretary to Government of India, Registrar General India under whose stewardship the District Census Handbook have been finalized. I am also thankful to Dr. D. Roy Chowdray, DRG (C&T) and I.C.Aggarwal, ARG (55) who extended valuable suggestions from ~:~'c' t" t:mc.

unch district lies in the western side of the State. It is one of the oldest districts of the State. The district Pderives its name from the headquarter's town of Punch which is situated in tahsil Haveli. The district was constituted of two tahsils; viz; Haveli and Mendhar at the 1981 Census. During the intervening period from 1981 to 2001 Census, one more tahsil; namely; Surankote was carved out within the same jurisdiction. Thus, the district is at present comprised of three tahsils, namely Haveli, Mendhar and Surankote. These tahsils are further divid~d into 5 Community ~velopment Blocks - Punch, Mandi, Surankote, Mendhar and Balakote. While rural sector of the districts is constituted of 179 villages out of which 7 are un-inhabited, its urban part; namely; Punch (Me), is made up of 9 wards. Punch district has an area of 1674.00 Sq. Km. and ranks 12th among 14 districts of the State. Its density i.e. population per Sq.Km. works out to 223. As per figures of2001 Census, Punch has returned a population of 372,613 constituting 3.7 per cent of total population of the State. It is interesting to note that Punch ranks 12th in terms of population as well. The population of the district recorded in 1901 and 1911 Censuses was 102,001 and 112,009 respectively, registering thereby a growth rate of9.8 per cent. Barring the decades, 1931-41 and 1961-71, there was a decrease in growth rate during the decades 1911-21, 1921-31, 1941-51 and 1951-61; ranging between 4.8 per cent during 1951-61 and 8.3 per cent in 1921-3 I. The decade 1971-81 witnessed the highest growth rate (3 1.3 per cent). The growth rate between the period 1981 and 200 I Census is 66.2 per cent. The sex ratio i.e. number of females per 1000 males works out to 919, which is higher as returned for the State as a whole, standing at 892. Child population in the age group 0-6 is 67,059, comprising 18.0 per cent of the total population of the district. So far as the literate population of the district is concerned, as many as 156, 398 have been returned as literate, constituting 51.2 per cent of the total population of the district which is lower than the State's proportion of 55.5 per cent. In the State as a whole, the percentage of total workers constitute 37.0 of the total population, out of which 25.7 are main workers and 11.3 are marginal workers. The remaining 63.0 per cent are non workers. In so far as Punch district is concerned, the corresponding percentage of total workers comes to 54.0 out of which 23.2 are main workers and 30,8 are marginal workers implying thereby that despite the fact that Punch borders Pakistan occupied Kashmir, it has made a significant improvement with regard to work participation rate during 2001 Census.

Percentage distribution of migrants by place of birth/place of last residence, 1981 & 2001 Censuses

Migration is an important aspect in the field of population study. A community or a country can gain population either by birth 01' by in-migration and it can lose population by deaths among its residents or by out-migrants. In other words, migration is a major factor in changing the size and structure of the population. It is the third component of the population change, the other two being fertility and mortality. The migration process affects the areas to which migrants have moved and the areas from which they have left. The Knowledge of trend in migration helps in the future planning ofa particular area.

A person is considered as a migrant by place of birth; if the place where hel she is enumerated during the Census is other than the place of his I her birth. Likewise, a person is considered as a migrant by place of last residence; if the place in which he/ she is enumerated during the Census is other than his/ her immediate place of last residence.

Migration movements are of the following three types:

1. Migration within the state itself with its components: a) Intra district migration i.e; migration within the district of enumeration. b) Inter district migration Le. migration from one district of the state to another district of the state.

2. Inter-State migration; viz: migration from one state to another state of the country. 3. Migration from one cormtry to another country.

The first two streams together constitute internal migration, whereas third one is called the international migration.

Why do people migrate?

There can be various reasons why people migrate. Important among them could be (i) employment (ii) marriage (iii) education (iv) family movement and (v)other reasons. Reasons for migration have been elicited only with reference to movement from place of last residence.

Till 1961 Census. migration data was presented with reference to place of birth only: In 1961 the scope of collecting information was enlarged by including the rural or urban status of the place of birth and duration of residence at the place of residence. Since 1971 Census, data are being collected on the basis of place of last residence in addition to question on birth place. Question on 'Reason for migration' was introduced since 1981. The pattern adopted in 1991 and 2001 Census remained same as in 1981 except that in 2001 Census, the rurallurban status of place of birth was not collected. Also the category 'Natural calamities' as one of the reasons for

220 migration in 1991 was excluded and a new reason 'Moved at birth' added in 2001 Census

The data revealed that according to birth place concept, out of a total population of 224,197 reeord"d in the district at 1981 Census, the magnitude of mi';r>llion "'"s of the order of 22,282 or 9.9 per cent, comprised of 7,887 males and 14,395 females. In other words, while male migrants constituted 6.6 per cent of total male population, females comprised 13.6 per cent of total f;:,male population. At 2001 'Census, the district had returned a population of 372,613 out of which 24,404 or 6.5 per cent had been recorded as migrants. The corresponding number of male and female migrants stood at 8,653 and 15,751 respectively, Here also, the proportion of female migrants (8.8 per cent) to total

221 female population was higher than those of male migrants (4.5 per cent) to total male population. Amazingly, the over all proportion of migrants in the district had witnessed a decrease of 3.4 per cent during the period from 1981 to 2001 Census. Migrants born within the state of enumeration accounted for 95.9 per cent in 1981 Census. The corresponding proportion pertaining to 2001 Census was slightly higher (97.6 per cent). The break up of this type of migrants i~to those (i) migrants born elsewhere in the district of enumeration and (ii) migrants born in other districts of the state of enumeration depicted that while at 1981 Ceno us. 84.0 per cent formed intra-district migrants, the proportion of inter-district migrants stood at 11.9 per cent. In 'COOl CeTlsus. the former tYPe of migrants had recorded a higher proportion (89.7 per C'Cld :'tlt Ii. ,tier category had returned a lower proportion (7.9 per cent) than thu.,,· "I t h, ",rresponding proportions of. 1981 Census. Migrants born in other states of Indlu "c:counlcJ for 1.9 per cent in 1981 as against 2.2 per cent registered at 2001 Census .. Migrants whose place of birth was in other countries constituted 2.2 per cent and 0.2 per cent in 1981 and 2001 Census respectively. Sex wise statistics revealed that in 1981 Census, females exceeded males in categories relating to within the state of enumeration and intra-district migration. In 2001 Census, females out numbered males in categories pertaining to within the state of enumeration and inter-district migration.

Data have been collected on the place of last residence to underst;md the pattern of migration. It is likely that after one moves out of the place of birth, one may continue to migrate from one place to another. Study of migration by place of birth is-like studying one time event. Data on migration by last residence reveal recent migration over the years and therefore more informative on the current status of the population.

Distribution of different mother tongues returned in 1981 Census

In 1981 Census a new question on the 'language mainly spoken in the household' was asked in the Household Schedule alongwith the two. usual language questions on 'mother tongue' and 'other languages known' in the 'Individual Slip'. This information added not only a new dimension to the language profile of the country but a useful one, for it provided a dynamic aspect of the language behavior as against the, more or less, stable picture thrown up by the mother tongue data. The institutional households which were linguistically heterogeneous and did or didn't have a uniform household language were excluded from these data. Out of a total population of 5,98,7389 in the State, the institutional population was 40,093 which comprised only 0.67 per cent. Question 5 on 'language mainly spoken in the household' in the 'Household Schedule' was canvassed in all the households other than institutional households. The raw returns were rather unusually large. All these returns were scrutinized following usual linguistic methods including studying 'language specimens' and undertaking field investigations.

In both parts A and B, variants had been grouped in some cases under the relevant languages. This was done on the basis of linguistic information readily available or in the light of the studies already made. Those identifiable variants which returned 10,000 or more speakers each at All-India level and were grouped under parts A & B languages are shown below:-

Part-A Hindi: Awadhi, Bhadrawahi, Bharmauri/Gaddi, Bhojpuri, Braj Bhasha, Chhattisgarhi, Garhwali, Gojri, Haryanvi, Kangri, KhariboH, Kumauni, Maithili, Mandeali, Marwari, Padari, Pahari, Rajasthani Kashmiri: Kishtwari, Siraji Punjabi: BilaspuriIKahluri

Bhilil Bhilodi: KoknaIKoknilKukna, Paradhi Lalmda: Multani, Punchhi

All other returns falling under B and which returned less than 10,000 speakers at the All India level or were not linguistically identifiable were included in the category 'Others' occurring as the last entry in Part-B.

According to .1981 Census, there were 15 scheduled and 29 non-scheduled languages in the State. Of the total household population of 5,947,296 (excluding institutional household population) in the State at the 1981 Census, 4,325,961 persons or 72.74 per cent were the

243 speakers of Schedule VIII languages, while as 1,621,335 or 27.26 per cent were the speakers of non scheduled languages.
