HYDERABAD. FOR THE DIRECTOR OF PRINTING. HYDERABAD. PREFACE The District Census Handbo~k is an innovation introduced at the 1951 Census. The Handbooks are compiled by the Census Office but published by the State Government. They proved to be very popular and valuable publications in considerable demand by the public as well as the official users of the census data. At the 1961 Census, therefore, it was decided not only to continue the publication of the District Census Handbook but to greatly iml'rove upon its precursor of 1951. The present District Census Handbook may be conveniently divided into four parts. The first part consists of a narrative description of the physical features and history of the district, the social and eco~ nomic characteristics of the people and the progress made by the district in each field of administration over the pas~ decades. This is supplemented by a Gazetteer of places. The second part consists of administrative statistics of various departments. The third part is based mainly on the present Census returns and consists of statistical tables giving the particulars of population, sex ratio, the economic composition'i literacy. language and migration data, etc. The fourth part consists of Village and Town Directory which is perhaps the vital part of the Handbook giving villagewise and townwise particulars of area, househ9lds, population, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, literacy, broad categorisation of working population, etc. Against each viIlage and town the educational, medical, public health, and transport facilities, etc., if available, have also been indicated. At the end of the fourth part a tabular statement of fairs and festivals, information about which had been collected through the Census enume~ rators will also be found. The pages of each part are numbered separately. The Handbook is enriched with two district maps, one showing the administrative divisions and important communications, rivers, etc., and the names of all important places of above 5,000 population and the other showing the talukwise density of population. In the Village Directory portion of the Handbook, before the statistics of each taluk are presented, a taluk map showing the village and town boundaries with the location code number of each village and town marked will also be found. Thus the District Census Handbook is a self-contained and convenient book of reference about almost all matters pertaining to the district. The Handbooks are no doubt coming rather late, a few years after completion of the Census count. This delay. if at all it can be called delay, could not be helped. The very detailed sorting of Census slips and compilation of the elaborate 1961 Census tables were time consuming; the administrative particulars for incorporation in the .Handbooks had to be collected from different departments and other sources on proformae that were finalised and circulated from this office; the preparation of the excellent maps of the district and the taluks, attempted this time, also required considerable time; and lastly the printing of these voluminous reports which had to be done very carefully was a laborious process. All the same it is hoped that these Handbooks will serve as valuable sources of reference about all matters pertaining to the district and help one t;o asse_ss the impact of the Five Year Plans and the progress each district had made in its social and economic well being over the decades and also serve as a guide in planning for the future. The credit for the compilation of the IJandbook goes chiefly to Shri K. M. Ahmad, I. A. S., and Shri P. S. R. Avadhany Deputy Superintendents of Census Operations. Shri Ahmad took great pains to tour the district, contact the various officers of the district and dig out information from various sources. A compilation of this type and magnitude could have taken a much longer time but for the diligent efforts of Shri Ahmad and Shri Avadhany. The Handbook section of the Census Office under the Tabulation Officer, Shri K. Narasimha Murthy, did a commendable work in the speedy and accurate compilation of the Village Directory and the other Statistical and Administrative tables. Sarvashti G. Pandurangam. Mohiuddin Hassan, and M. J. Sadiq of the Cartographic Section in my office did a magnificent work as wiIl be evident from the quality of maps that have been produced. A.
