The publication, which is brought out for each district, contains several demographic and socio-economic characteristics village-wise and town-wise of the district alongwith the status of availability of civic amenities. infrastructural facilities, etc. The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town within the district. Thereafter, at successive censuses, its scope and coverage has been enlarged The DCHB published at the 1961 census provided a descriptive account of the district administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory including PCA The 1971 census-DCHB serIes was in three parts: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. The 1981 census DCHB was in two parts Part-A contained village and town directory and Part-B the PCAofvillage and town including the SCs and STs PCA up to tahsil/ town levels. New features alongwith restructuring of the formats of village and town directory were added into it. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, ,vas given. Information on new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and conununity health workers in the village were provided so as to meet the requirements of some of thc Revised MlllimUIl1 Needs Programme. Information on approach to the village was provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to give the details on number of inaccessible villages III each district. In the Town Directory, a statement (VII) on slums was introduced to provide the details on civic and other amenities in the notified slums of Class I and Class II towns. The 1991 census DCHB, by and large, followed the pattern of presentation of 1981 census, except the fOTlnat of PC A was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was givcn against thc four fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 census. In addition, sex-wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 census.
