No. definite answer is forthcoming as to why such publications, giving village-wise information 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 certain charges on Census previously met from the provincia. rev~nt;es to the Cent~al revenues a~d .the Gover?~e~! ofIndia may not have considered it necessary to publish statlSllCS up to the vIllage level. VIllage StatIstlc3 III 1941 were brought out by the Central Provinces & Berar Government and this practice of bringing out district-wise publications at the cost of the State Govern­ ment bas since been continuing. 2. The scope of the district-wise publications, noW called the District Census Handbooks, has been under­ going change with each successive Census from 1951. In 1951, the District Census Handbooks only contained the Primary Census Abstract and the Census tables. In view of the usefulness of separate publication for each district, improvements were made at the time of the 1961 Census by including non-Cen~us data like climate, agriculture, co-operation, industry, education, etc. An 'Introductory Note' was also added to highlight the more striking features. Unfortunately, the desire to make district-wise Census publications very comprehensive resulted in late availability of the books to the users. Therefore, this time the District 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 about seven to eight years ofinter-Censal decennium. Part A will contain Primarily non-Census statistics, Part 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 publication of the District Census Handbooks after the 1961 Census was due to delay in collection of administrative statistics and the decision to write the Introductory Note in the head office. Separation of administrative statistics as Part C of the District Census Handbook and the kind Co­ operation of the State Government, permitting Collectors of the 1961-71 decade towrite the chapter on "Introducing the District," is likely to go a long way in early publication of all the parts of the District Census Handbooks. Another favourable factor this time is the early decision of the State Government to permit printing in private presses as and when the 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 district. It would not be out cJ place to point out here that the work-load in connection with the Di:.;trict 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 as 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-Census data and itis hoped that the combined volume of Parts 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 the 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 it 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 purposes.". It has not been possible to adopt 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 Development 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 the 1971 Census were finalised. Secondly, the tahsil as a unit of field arrangements has many more advantages, the most significant being the ready availability of that legendary functionary-the patwari-without 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, sir.ce village­ wise figures are available, it should not be difficult for those in need of data for intermediate units between the village and the tahsil, like the development block or patwari halka, to compile it by adding figures of concerned villages. The tahsil has for long been a fixed unit of administration and, to my mind, should be retained in preference to the development block whose jurisdiction may undergo a change in accordance with the pace of future development. 5. tn conclusion, t would like to place on record my grateful thanks to the Government of Madhya Pradesh for having so kindly agreed to undertake the publication of the Handbooks in hindi as well as english to the various government and semi-government offices for un-hesitatingly making available the non-Census statistics, and to the Controller, Government Press, and his staff for armnging early printing in the Govern­ ment and private Presses.
