This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt./Union Ternlor~ administration. It liller-alia provide~ data/information on &ome of the basic demo,¥aphic and !.oci(l-economic characteristic!. and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each vtna!!~ ·~lI1d town of the re~pcctivc districts. This publication ha~ thus proved to be of immense utility to the plan.,er~, adminislrator,>, <lcademicians and researchers. The ,>cope of the DeH wa~ initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and ,>ocio-cultural aspects a~ abo thc Primary Census Ab~tract (PCA) of each viUa!- c and town (waf(l-wi~c) of the district. Thc DCHs publi'ihed after the 1%1 Cemus contained a descrip ive account of the districl, administrative statislic~, ccnsu~ table!:> and Village and Town Directorie~ including PCA. After the 1971 Cen~us, two part!. 01 the Di~lricl Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Vmag~ and Town Dircl'lOric~ and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were rclear-ed in all the States and Union Terntorie1>. The third part, Part C of the District Census Handbook., comprising administrat Ive statistics and Jistricl census tables. which Wal. also to be brought (lut, could not be published in man~ States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant materQl. Tn 1981, some new features a)ongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were publ)~hed in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Villag~ and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe peA upto 'tehsilltown level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were broUght together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centre~ and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requireme!lts of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages ill each district. In case of Town Directories also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme. a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as· to enahle ~he planners to chalk out the programmes f(lr providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this Statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the 'sfnms of Class I and Class n towof\. Apart from this, otie column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed m 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in t~e. 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classiflCa~ion of main workers has been given as against four-fold industrial classification pre~nted in the 1981 Census. In addition to this~ the sex-wise population in the fr-6 age-group has also been included in PeA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rates as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications "ill help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. (v) One of the mo,t important inllovation!-. i!-. the 1991 Cen<,us i!-. the Community Devclopmc~t Block-level pre!>entation of data in the Village Directory dnd PCA in~lead 01 the traditional Tahsil!Ta[uk/PS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and peA data at C.C.Block level wiU help the planner~ in formulation of micro-level developmental plan!>, at> the CD. Block i., the lowesl administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators. planners and ret,earchets intending to use ViHage Directory/peA data. either from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual coder:. for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the State Govt./VT administration and the Census (Irgani~ation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction of Ms. Sobha Nambisan, Director of Censw, Operations, Karnataka on behalf of the State Govt. administration which has borne the cost of printmg. The task of planning, designing and coordination of the publication was initiated by Dr.. (.P.lttaman, formt!r Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua. Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of informatiOn/data and for preparation of analytical note depict in!. the salient features emerging from a micro-level analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Censu,> Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri M.KJain, the present Deputy Registrar General (S.S.). Tbis task was carried out by Shri A.K.Singh, Deputy Director who was assisted by S/Shri V.K.Jain and Hariram, Investigators and staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of 4Ile maps was initially provided by Dr.B.K.Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (Map) and later by Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the present Deputy Registrar General (Map). I am thankful to all those who have contributed to this project. New Delhi A.R.Nanda June ll. 199Z. Registrar General, India (vi) PREFACE I n the foreword to the L991 sencs of the District Census Handbooks, Sri A.R.Nanda, I.A.S., the Regi"trar General and Cem.us Commissioner, India, has traced the history of the District Census Handbooks. He hal> abo 1>uccinctly explained the scope and coverage of the District Census Handbooks. These 'vo]umel> contain the salient data on the population for every village and town as revealed by the 1'>91 Census. The) also contain a wealth of information regarding these villages and towns which, although not part of the population census, throw some light on the circumstances in which people live and is therefore rete\ ant to the data on the population. This information has also considerable importance in the context of planned development. The District Census Handbook is therefore divided into two parts: Part A contammg information regarding each village and town (Village Directory and Town Directory) which is not CenSllS data and part B which contain1> the data on the population collccled during the 1991 Census - the Primary Census Abstract. The data published in Part B war" collected in February 1991 at the time of the population census. Thi!> data was then manually tabulated in the Regional Tabulation Offices set up for (he purpose. Subs~quently, as a part of the countrywide project taken up in collaboration with the National Informatics Centrc, the Primary Census Abstract data was computerised. The data for Part B of the Dislrict Census Handbook was therefore availahle on tape for the entire country by November 1992. The State Informatics affica of the National lnformark!> Centre at Bangalore supplied the print-outs of the Primary Census Abstract data which helped us to bring out the Part B portion of the District Census Handbl}ok of each district fairly quickly.
