"To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour"

Such as described in the above verse would be the graphic outcome of the effort to consolidate the district-level data relating to all the districts of a state or the union territories into a single tome as is this volume. This publication is part of the State and District Profile series of the 1991 census and is brought out in continuation of the State Profile 1991 India volume, to serve as a handy reference compendium of the district­ lev~1 data from the 1991 census.

The data in this volume comprises 41 tables arranged in 12 sections and preceded by a map showing the cqnstituent districts. The 12 sections are: General Data, Population Structure, Nuptiality, Fertility and Child Mortality. Literacy and Education, Work PartiCipation, Migration, Religion, Language, Housing and Household Amenities, Urban Agglomerations, Cities and Towns and an overall Population Scenario of the Past and Present.

The first section .presents the basic administrative data like area, number of districts, tahsil's, development blocks, towns and villages, population, number of households, density, per cent decadal variation, sex ratio, per cent of urban population an_d inhabited villages classified population size. The second section on population structure gives the distribution of population by age' and sex, the ratio of children to women and the dependency ratio of young people of age 0 to 14 years as well as ord people of age 60 plus to those in the working age group 15 to 59 years.

The third section on nuptiality presents certain selected indicators on female nuptiality, proportion of married females and the proportions of married, widowed and divorced or separated among the aged.

The fourth section on fertility and child mortality presents data on the number of children per woman at the completion of t~e reproductive period, the crude birth rate, total fertility rate and child mortality rate.

The fifth section on literacy and educatjon gives selected indicators on literacy and education, literacy rates for selected age groups by sex, distribution of literates by educational level, distribution of females in the reproductive age group by educational level and the percentages of child workers attending school.

The sixth section on work partiCipation contains tables on the main workers and marginal workers in selected age groups and the percentage distribution of main workers by educationai level, by industrjal category, by industrial and occl~pational classifications and of non-workers by main activity.

The seventh section on migration presents the district-level data available on migration viz. in-migrants by place of birth and place of last residence.

The eighth section on religion gives the data on the six numerically biggest religions in each district. The ninth section on language contains data on the distribution of population by language as well as the speaker-strengths of the numerically largest languages and mother tongues arranged in descending order. This win give a graphic picture of the language profile of the district which is not easily available anywhere else.

The tenth section on housing and household amenities presents the data on the distribution Qf households by type of house occupied and the availability of electricity, drinking water and toilet facilities to households.

The eleventh section gives the details of urban aggJomerations, cities and towns like their population, sex ratio, literacy rate and work participation rates.

The twelfth selection tops off the tables giving the population scenario at the district level based on the censuses after independence starting with the 1951 census till 1991. Since the population projections for the future are not available at the district­ ievel. the future population scenario, though availabfe at the national and state fevels, could not be given at the district level. This section gives the district-level data for 1951, 1961, 1971 and 1981 as recast as per the 1991 jurisdiction of the districts. The tables present the data on population, per cent decadal .variation in population, annual exponential growth rate, sex ratio and the urban population for the period 1951-91 which will come in extremely handy for- convenient reference at one place.

The District Profile series of which this volume is a part is the fruitful outcome of over two years of intensive and sustained work to cull out and put together all the available district-level data feasible_of presentation here. It is hoped that this will serve as a handy reference source to a wide spectrum of data users like policy planners, administrators; scholars and researchers.

vi CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS

General Data Village The basic unit for rural areas is the revenue village which has definite surveyed boundaries. The revenue village may comprise several hamlets but the entire village is treated as one unit for presentation of data. In unsurveyed areas, like villages within forest areas, each habitation area with locally recognized boundaries within each forest range officer's beat is treated as one village. Town The following are treated as towns: (a) Statutory towns, Le., municipal corporatio!,), municipal board, cantonment board, notified area, etc.. (b) Census towns which are non-statutory towns and are actually rural areas but satisfy the following criteria: (i) Minimum population of 5,000. (ii) Density of population of at least 400 per sq. km. (iii) Seventy-five per cent of the male working population engaged in non agricultural activity. City Towns with population of 1,00,000 and above are called cities. Urban Agglomerations Sometimes two or more towns may be contiguous to each other making it necessary to consider them together for studies on urbanisation in the area. In some other cases there are large railway colonies, university campuses, port areas, military camps, etc., just outside the statutory limits of a town but adjoining it. Though these areas may not themselves qualify to be treated as towns, it would be realistic to treat them as urban. Such areas are- termed as 'outgrowths'(O.G.) and may cover the whole or part of a village. The above two types of contiguous urban areas are called 'Urban Agglomerations'. An urban agglomeration may comprise (a) A town and contiguous outgrowths; or (b) Two or more towns and their outgrowths, if any; all of them forming a contiguous spread of urban area. Household A group of persons who commonly live together and take food from a common kitchen unless -exigencies of work prevented any of them from doing so. A household may contain persons related to each other, unrelated 'persons or both. Boarding houses, hostels, messes, rescue homes, orphanages, jails etc., are examples of households comprising -of unrelated persons only and are termed institutional households. Population structure

Age Age i~ measured in terms of the completed number of years. Nuptiality Never married A person who has never been married at any time before. Marriedl Currently A person whose marriage is subsisting with spouse living. It may be the first or married subsequent marriage of either of the persons. Persons who are recognized by custom or society as married and persons in stable de facto union are also considered as married. Widowed A person whose'spouse is dead and who has not been married again.

vii Divorced or separated A person who has been separated from the spouse and is living apart with no apparent intention of living together again or who has been divorced either by decree of a law court or by accepted social or religious custom but who has not been remarried. Duration of marriage Duration of marriage has been derived as the difference between the age and age at marriage.

Fertility and Child Mortality

The estimates presented in this section have been obtained using the data on number of children ever born and number of children surviving to ever married women and the births during the year prior to census to currently married women. In some ~ses the underlying assumptions for applying the estimation procedures may not be valid, specifically in areas where there has been significant fall in the levels of fertility or child mortality in recent period. In view of this, the estimates presented in this section should be used with caution. Crude Birth Rate Ratio of the number of births in a year to the mid year population, normally expressed per 1000 population. Total Fertility Rate It is obtained as the total of the age specific fertility rates (number of children born per woman of the particular age} for the entire reproductive age span. It provides the average number of children that will be born to a woman under the fertility levels indicated by the age specific fertiJity rates assuming that there is no mortality of women till the completion of reproductive period. Probability of dying between birth and age 1. This can be used as approximate value of Infant Mortality Rate(IMR} which gives the ratio of number of deaths in a year of children aged less than one year to the number of births in that year. Probability of dying between birth and age 2. Probability of dying between birth and age 5. This indicator is also known as Under Five Mortality Rate (U5MR)

Literacy and Education Literate A person who can read and write in any language is literate. A person who can merely read but cannot write is not literate. It is not necessary that the person should have received any formal education or should have passed any minimum educational standard. All children of age below seven years have been treated as illiterate even though some of them may be attending schools and may be able to read and write a few words. Literacy Rate Literacy rate of the population is defined as the percentage of titerates in the age group seven ~ears and above. For different age groups the percentage of literates in that age group gives the literacy rate. Educational level The highest level of education a person has completed.

Work Participation Work Participation in any economically productive activity: Work may be physical or mental in nature. It involves not only actual work but also effective supervision and direction of work. Main worker A person who has worked for a major part of the year preceding the date of enumeration., i.e., one who was engaged in any economica1ly productive activity for 183 days or more, Le., six months or more, in the previous year. Marginal worker A person who has done some work in the year preceding the date of enumeration but does not qualify to be called a 'main worker', Le., peri9d of

viii work is less than 183 days. Non worker A person who has not worked at all in the yea r preced ing the date of enumeration. Cultivator A person engaged as .employer. single worker or family worker in cultivation of undernoted crops on land owned or held from government or private persons or institutions for payment in money. kind or share. Cultivation includes supervision or direction of cultivation. Cultivation includes ploughing, sowing and harvesting and production of cereals and millet crops such as wheat, paddy, jowar, bajra, ragi, etc., and pulses, raw jute and kindred fiber crop, cott!?n, etc.. Cultivation does not include growing of fruits and vegetables, keeping orchard or groves or working in plantations like tea, coffee, rubber, cinchona and medicinal plants.

..~ Agricultural labourer A person who works in another person's land for wages in cash kind or share crop is regarded as an agricultural labourer. Such a person has no risk in cultivation but merely works in another person's land for wages and has no right of lease or contract on the land on which he works. Household Industry An industry conducted by one or more members of the household at home or within the village in rural areas and within the precincts of the house where the household lives in urban areas. It should be smaller than the scale of a registered factory and should be engaged in manufacturing, processing, servicing and repairs of goods.

Migration Migrant Data on migrants are available by two different concepts as given below: Migrants by place of birth: Persons who were born outside the village or townl urban agglomeration of enumeration. Migrants by place of last residence: Persons who were living outside thp. village ·or townl urban agglomeration of enumeration. Language Langua.ge As per the census concept, each language is a group of mother tongues. The and census questionnaire collects information on the mother tongue of each person Mother tongue and mother tongue is defined as the language spoken in childhood by the person's mother to the person. The mother tongues returned by the respondents in census were classified and grouped under appropriate languages according to their linguistic characteristics. Mother tongues with 10,000 or more speakers at all-India level are presented separately ,under the relevant language, while those mother tongues which returned less than 10,000 speakers each and which were classified under a particular language are included in "others" under that language. The total number of languages so arrived at is 114, comprising of 18 languages included in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India (Scheduled Languages) and 96 other languages not included in the. Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India (Non-scheduled Languages). There is· a total of 216 identified mother tongues which returned 10,000 or more speakers each at all-India level consisting of 85 mother tongues grouped under the 18 Scheduled Languages and 131 mother tongues grouped under the 96 Non- scheduled Languages. Housing and Household Amenities Perrnanenthouses Houses in which both wall and roof are made of permanent materials. Material of wan can be burnt bricks, GI sheets or other metal sheets, stone or cement

Roof may be made from grass, leaves, bamboo, thatch, un-burnt bricks or wood. Serviceable temporary Temporary houses in which walt is made of mud, un-burnt bricks or wood. houses Non-serviceable Temporary houses in which wall is made of grass, leaves, reeds or bamboo. temporary "'-ous..
