This publication was compiled by the Census Department and published by the State Government. The contents of the District Census Handbook have been considerably improved during the subsequent Censuses and in 1971 this pUblication is being brought out in three separate parts- Part - A - VIllage and Town Directory Part - B - Village and Townwise Primary Census Abstract; and Part - C - Analytical Report and Administrative Statements and District Census Tables The history and origin of the District Census Handbook have been given in the Introductory Note of this volume. The present volume of Part-A has two sections-Village Directory and Town Directory. In the Village Directory, basic information relating to the villages such as Educational, Medical, Drinking water supply, Electricity, Communications, Post and Telegraphs facilities as well as information on area, staple-food, land use data and other allied information are given. In the second section VIZ. Town Directory, information for the Towns about the Status, growth history, functional category, Physical aspects, Municipal finance, Civic and other amenities are presented. Details about the Medical, Educational, Recreational facilities available in the towns as well as particulars regarding Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking are also given The population particulars of the towns as per 1971 Census together with the population of these towns since 1901 and Religious composition of the popUlation in 1971 are also furnished. The details other than population particulars presented in these statements have been obtained from the concerned Departments of the State Government for which I am thankful to the Collector. I am also grateful to the Revenue subordinates as well as the Municipal Commissioners for the assistance that they have rendered. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Sri A Chandra Sekhar, Registrar General, India, for the gUidance given to me and for continuing the pUblication of the District Census Handbooks during 1971 Census also.

NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT VILLAGE AND TOWN DIRECTORY 'NTRODUCTORY NOTE General :- The District Census Handbook for each district presenting the Census data for the villages. and towns of the District IS being published from 1951 Census. Till then, the village statistics showing merely the number of houses flnd population by religion in respect of ea..:;h vlllage and town were published as supplement. In 1951, the general population tables, economic tables and village-wise and town-wise statistics relating to Taluks were presented as Part-l and SOCIal and Cultural Tables as Part-II. In 1961 also, the Distflct Census l-iandbook was published in two volumes. In Volume-I, all the Census tables gIving taluk-wlse data wIth a narrative report were publIshed and Volume- II was confined to present village-wIse and town-wise statistics known as Primary Census Abstract which gives the basic data like popUlation, literates, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and the industrial classification of workers and non-workers. As these data are finalised in the first stage of tabulation itself in 1971 Census, it has been decided in this Census to present the District Census Handbook in 3 parts. Part-A contams the Village and Town Directory which will show the land use pattern data, basic amenities avaIlable in the villages and the conditions of the towns. Part-B contain~ the Village and Town P. C A. while Part- -C presents the administrative statistics collected and compiled from various departments, Census tables and a short analytical report. This method of preparing the District Census Handbook in 3 parts is also to facilitate the timely publication of the baSIC data relating to villages and towns which are required by various departments and research scholars. Method of p,t'scnr{)tIOIl - The present volume being Part-A presents the Village and Town Directory as the titles suggest. It lists out all the villages and towns in the State.
