INTRODUCTORY NOTE t. Hi.storyor District Census Handbook. It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses.

Such informatIOn was, howevel, not brought out in 190 I Village Directories were prepared for alI districts in 1911, but (auld be published only for thtrteen due to the outbreak of the First World War At the 1921 Census, these were published for all (listricts in the form of DIstrict Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be publr'ihed owing to financial strmgencv, resulting in loss of valuable data At the 1941 Census, restrIcted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utdity of Census statistics was recognised and these were published. The District Census .fbTldbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was publi­ shed alongwlth another volume titled District Population Statistics In 1961 Census, att­ empts wcre made to render the District Censu~ Handbook more informatlVe, as lU addition to Census data pertaining to each village, dJ.ta about its level of develoment and ameni. ties were al"o collected. Ai the 19'11 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Census and non-Censm statistiCS GLc vlllagt'Jtown level In a uniform manner with an enla rged scope As the Dl~trict Census Handbook mahs Census statistics available for the smaller terrlloriaJ umts, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demar­ ca.tion of dectoral COllstltucnclcs, pLtnnmg the development and so on. To ensure that these stati~ti'cs <11 e aViulable to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been dlvicled for bel l~ pubhshed separateh mto three parts: Part A : Town and Village Directory Part B ; Village and Town-WIse Primary Census Ab~tract Part C : Analytical Rt')'ort and Admllllstratlvc Statement-District Census Tables. 2.

Besides, it con­ tains land-use statistics, days of weekly markets and places of religious, historical or archa­ eological interest in each v d!age The Town Directory comprising seven statements throws light on the status of the town. its origlll J growth of population, functional category, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking.

Town Directory given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns of the district There is no uniformly accepted definition of a town. The historical, pob- tical, cultural and administrative considerations are generall) taken as criteria for rural­ urban classification_ An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large majority of inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activities. In addition to its size, population and occupatlOnal characteristics, an urban area pro­ vides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical services, COiIl­ munity facilities and other civic services. According to the State Government, all 'Muni­ cipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonment Boalds, Notified Arc:as and Tow Areas are considered as town, and according to thier average annual income fro n their own resources, these have been classlfied into different classes of local bodies.
