Apart from the fact that the proper implementation of policy depends on the ability of the administrative authorities concerned to quantify accurately the variables involved, it is at these levels that policies get really thoroughly tested; also, policies can fail-and probably have failed-because their statistical basis was weak. It is undoubtedly necessary that gaps in statistics at lower levels be filled as rapidly as possible. 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 b:ock as the basic field unit as much for purposes of presentation as for operational purpos.es. 2. What we have tried to do in the 1961 Census Hand-books is to make them more informative by the inclusion of as many categories of non-census stati'tics as possible; some of these are climate, agriculture, co-operation, industry, L mk ing, education, hea~th etc. There is also an introductory note to each Hand:" book high-lighting the more striking features. It has not been possible for the Census Organisation to check the accuracy of the figures supplied by various authorities; it is to be hoped that some other organisation, better equipped for the purpose, will take up this task. 3. For the seventeen districts of Mahakoshal (Part of erstwhile Madhya Pradesh) and for Panna and Tikamgarh districts of erstwhile Vindhya Pradesh, which are part of the present State of Madhya Pradesh, the area figures for districts and tahsils furnished by the Director of Land Records and presented in Table A·I are internally inconsistent in the sense that the tahsii areas do not add up to the district area. This inconsistency arose from the fact that, in the case of these districts, the district area includes, but the tahsil areas exclude, 'forest' area for which the tahsilwise breakup was not then available. Later on, while this Hand-book was in the press, the Director of Land Records brought out revised area figures for the year 1962-63 for tahsils and districts which among other improvements, do not suffer from the defect of internal 2 inconsistency even in case of these nineteen districts. Revision of Table A-I on the basis of these area figures was not feasible at this late stage; the only alternative was to print these revised area figures also in this Hand-book. 4. One unfortunate fact about these Hand-books is that they became avail able to the users rather late in the decade. This is partly due to the considerable time requ~:'ed for the collection of information from various authorities and partly to difficulties in printing. Owing to the fact that State presses, with a heavy back log of printing weighing down on them, would find it impossible to print all the District Census Hand-books them~elves, arrangements have been made for printing them in private presses. If these Hand-books are to have a useful life of mOre than four or five years of inte --censal decennium, more expeditious methods for the cpllection of non-census statistics, for the preparation and checking of the manuscripts and for printing will have to be devised. 5. The Census Organisation is grateful to the Government of Madhya Pradesh for having been so kind a'> to undertake the pub:ication of these Hand books and to the Superintendent, Government Printing and his organisation particularly the Assistant Superintendent, Printing, Government Regional Press, Indore and his staff-for the printing arrangements made. The inspiration behind this ambitious venture is that of our indefatigable Registrar General, Shri Asok Nlitra, to 'whom we are all deeply grateful. Our thanks are also due to the various authorities who 8upplied us w~th all the necessary statistics. G.
