The numbers given to tables in this puhlication correspond to thode given in the State Censns RE'purt. The following tablt'El for the district have, however, not been included in this Handhook. :- A-G Variation in population dluing fifty years.

The C·I tahlE' was prE'pareu from a four percent sample of the househo],]s recorded in the Natiollll Re";19ter of Oitizens relating to each to wn or villrtge. In 1941, tht> population figures were exhi bited according to corn munities in tbE' "Villa.!f' Handbooks" publish~d bv the Gl)vel'l1meat oE Bombay. In 1951, the basis of ciassl(ication c\t the Censns was cbangpd fl' 'ill d Boehl to an economic one, 1iTld the fi~Ul'E'8 for villa~es given in thE:> Primary Ct'mnq Ab~tracts and in table~ A-V. B-I, B·U, C-II and E al'e accurding to tnf> following eight Liv('libood Cl'lsses:- Agricultural Classes I Ol1Hhators of land, wholly or mainly owned; and their dependant •. 11 Oultivators of laud, wholly or mainly unowned; and their dependants.

Non-Agricultural Classes Persons (including dependants) who derive their principal means oj liveli hood from;- V Production other than cultivation• . VI Commerce. ~Vll Transport. VIII Other services and miscellaneous SOllrCe3. Dependants, whether earning or non-earning, were classified at the census according to the principal means of livelihood of the persons on whom they were dependent. The Primary Census Abstncts, which contain basic information in respect of every village and town, have been arranged according to talukas. and petas, units into which- every di.trict is divided for administrative purposes. The t'l~uka was, however, too small a unit to adopt for preparing the main cens us t lbles. Therefore, in the B, C and D-series of tables figures have beeR given tor tracts and not for talukas and petas. Before sorting the census slips and tabulating the result~, tracts were formed by combining the rural and urban areas of two or more taluka, nr petas. The tracts into which Satara North district was divided for this purpose are shown below:- Rural Tracts (1) Rural area,; of Satara and K".rad talukas. (~) Rural areas of Patan and Jaoli talukas. (3) Rural areas of Koregaon, Khatav, Man, Phaltan and Wai talukas and Khandala and ~Iahabaleshwar petas. Urban Tracts (1) Urban area, of Satara and "Karad talukas. (2) Urban areas of Koregaon, Khatav, Man. pha[tan and Wai talukas and Mahabaleshwar peta. Urban areas comprise the towns shown in table A-V. Sbortly before the 1951 population census, a census of Small Industries was taken, and the results of this census are given in the table called "Small Scale Indust\,ie:s Census-Employment in Establishments", included m this Handbook. The intention was to find out something about Cottage and Home Industries and small workshops. The larger establishments, that is, power-using establishments with 10 or more workers and non-power using establishments with 20 or more workers, were excluded from the scope of the enquiry as they now submit returns under the Factory Act. The enquiry did not concern itself also with workers functioning on their own and not employing other people, except when looms were used. Otherwise the concept was of an enquiry which embraced all forms of associate activity where articles were produced, repaired or otherwise treated for sale, use or disposal, A-I-Area, Houses DISTRlc'r Occupied Houses j\ rea ill Taluka or Pet. square Villages Towns miles j otal Rural Urban 2 3 4 6 7 Total 4,022.6 1,152 15 203.117 179,377 23,800 Jaoli 344,7 196 12,738 12,738 2 Kilrad 405.8 111 3Z,7t4 28,90~ 3,820 3 Khandala 203.3 45 9,114 9,114 4 Khatav 509.1 84 2 22,697 20,397 2,30Q 5 Koregaon 364.6 73 18,583 14,744 3,839 6 Mahabaleshwar 87.3 53 2 3,203 2,133 1,070 7 Man 556.0 70 15,291 13,598 1,693 8 Patan 513.5 203 28,325 28,325 9 Phaltan 455.8 78 17,444 15,352 2,092 10 Satara 353.4 151 2 27,849 21,440 6,409 11 Wai 229.1 Ss 15,209 12,632 2,1117 Note:-l.
