No definite answer is forthcoming- as to why sud). pubhcartlOns, glvmg vlllage-wIse mformatlOn of occupied houses, break-up of population into males/females and literates, were not brought out in 1921 and 1931. The reason could be transfer from, 1921 of ceI1tain charges on Census previously met from the provincial revenues to the Central revenues and the Government of India may not have considered it necessary to publish statistics upto the village ley~l. 'Village Statistics' in 1941 were brought out by the CellJtral Provinces and Belal' Government and this practice of bringing out district-wise publications at the cost of the ~tate Government has since been continuing. 2. The scope of the district-wise publications, now called the District Census Handbooks, has been undergoing change with each successive Census from 1951. In 1951, the District Census Handbooks only contained the Prituary Census Abstract and the Census taDles. In view of the usefulness of separate 'publicaJtion for each district, improvements were made at the time of the 1961 Census by including non-Census data like climate, agriculture, co-operation, industry, educati,on, etc. An 'Introduc tory Note' was also added to highlight the more striking features. Unfolltunately.t the desire to make district-wise Census publications very comprehensive resulted in late availability at the books to the users. Therefore, this time the Distri<::t Census Handbooks have been divided into three parts in order to release maximum data, -as and when finalised, so that the publications may have a useful life of abowt seven to eight years ,of inter-Censal decenni~m. Part A will contain Primarily non-Census statistics, Pan B the Primary Census Abstract and Part C various administrative statistics with a -chapter titled "IntrodUcing the district". It may be mentioned here that subsequently a decision has been taken to merge Parts A and B in one volume on grounds of economy. 3. Much of the delay in the publicati,on Q1f the District Census Handbooks after the 1961 Census was due to delay in collecti,on,of administrative statistics and the decision to write the Introductory Note in the head office, Separation of administrative statistics and Ilhe decision to write the Introductory and the kind Co-operation of the State G,overnment permitting Collectors of the 1961-71 decade to write th~ chapter On "Introducing the District", likely to go a long way in early publication of all the parts of the District Census Handbooks. Anotherfavourable factor this time is the early decision of the State Government to pelmit printing in private presses as and when Ithe work-load on the State Government Presses is heavy and likely to result in delay in the bringing out of the District Census Handbook of any distriat. It would not be out of place to point out here that the work-load in connection with Ithe District Census Handbooks is very much more this time, not only on account of wider coverage but largely due to the decision to bring out the District Census Handbooks in Hindi ~s well as English. In all, there will be 172 publications, 4 per district of which 2 will be in Hindi and 2 in English. Advance action was taken this time to collect the non Gensus data and it is hoped that the combined volume ,of Parlts A and, B of all the 43 districts would be out by the end ,of 1973 and Part C of all the districts by the middle of 1975. This would be a definite improvement on the 1961 performance when printing of the District Census Handbooks covered the period 1964 to 1967. 4. In his Preface to ithe 1961 District Census Handbooks, my predecessor, Shri G. Jagathpathi, had observed thus, "It was not poSSible at this Census to base all Census statistics ,on the development block as the unit mainly because in 1961 there were many areas not till then covered by blocks. The coverage had become complete by about the middle ,of 1963 and ilt is not unlikely that the 1971 Census will recognise the block as the basic field unit as much for purposes of presentation as for operational pur poses.". It has n,ot been p,ossible to adoplt the development block as the basic unit for operation and presentation in this Census for more than one reason. Firstly, the office of the Block Develop !Ilent Officer was abolished in December, 1965; its resurrection in the form of office of .the Block Development Assistant from 2-10-69 had not taken firm roots up to ·the time field arrangements for tbe 1971 Census were. finalised. Secondly, the tahsil as a'. u.rijt of freld arrangements has many m,ore advan tages, the most significant being the ready availability of that legertd:¥ry -'functionary-the patwari-w~thout whose active co-operation it would be a formidable task to determine' whether a habited structure in a ,cultivated field is part of village X or Y. Even, otherwise, since village-wise figures are available, it s~ould not be difficuLt for those in need of da,ta for intermediate units between the village and Ithe tahsil, lIke the .development block or patwari haJka,. to compile it by addhig ,figures of concerned villages. The tahSIl has for long been a fixed unit· of administration and, to my mind, should be retained in preferenc: to the development block whose . jurisdiction may, undergo a change in Jagathpath~,wlth the pace of future development; - 2 5. In conclusion, I would like to place on record my grateful lthanks to the Government of Madhya Pradesh for having ~ kindly agreed to undertake the publication of the Handbooks in hindi as well as english to the various govenuneI1lt and semi-government offices for un-hesitatingly making available the non-Census sta.tistics, and to the Controller, Government Press, and his staff for arranging early printing in the Government and prtvate Presses.
