This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Government / Union Territory administration. It inter - ai'aprovides data / information on some ofthe basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on availability of certain important civic amenities / facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners. administrators. academicians and researchers. The scope .of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population. economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and. town (wardwise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district. administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories, including PCA. After the 1971 Census. two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part - B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third Part (Cl of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out. could not be published in many, States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981. some new features alongwtth the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part - A comprised Village and Town Directories. the PCA of villages and towns (wardwise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsil /town 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 referrent 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-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the reqUirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to the village was also (v) provided for the first time during 1981 Census in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of Town Directories also. keeping in View the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme. a Statement N-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the programmes for providing better civic· and other amenities in the slums. In this statement. details on"civic and other·' amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and Class II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe population and another on adult literacy classes / centres were added in Statement N and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed in 1981. However. the format of peA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given as against four-fold industrial claSSification presented in the 1981 Census.
