(viii) Foreword

he District Census Handbook (DCHB) published by Census Organisation since T 195 1 census, is one of the important pUblications in the context of planning and development at gross roots level. 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. One of the important innovations in the 1991 census was the Community Devclopment Block (CD block) level presentation of village directory and PCA data instead of the traditional tahsilltalukiPS level presentation. It was expected that the presentation of village directory and PCA data at CD block level will help the planners in formulation of micro level development plans, CD block being lowest administrative unit. The present series of 200 1 census DCHBs have been made more informative and exhaustivc in tcrms of coverage and content. The Village Directory has been enlarged in scope by including a number of other facilities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers and magazines and 'most important commodity' manufactured in village. Income and expenditure of gram panchayat, wherever possible, has been provided. Apart from these, more details on distance(s) at which basic amenities arc available (if not availablc in the village), are given. This includes educational facilities (namely primary and middle schools and college), medical facilities (viz. Allopathic Hospital, Maternity & Child Welfare Centre and Primary Health Centrc), drinking water, post & telegraph (post office and phone), communication, bank, credit societies and recreational facilities. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums has been modified and its coverage enlarged by ll1cluding dctails on all slums instead of 'notified slums'. The information is given in case of all statutory to"'11S irrespcctive

0x) of their class, against only Class I and Class II towns in the 19R1 and 1991 censuses. The basic amenities available in the villages and towns are analysed in depth with the help of a number of cross-classified inset tables and statements. Two ottier significant additions in the publication are inclusion of 'motif' highlighting significant characteristic of the district and analytical notes as annexures. The analytical notes on (i) fertility and mortality and (ii) various measures of fertility and mean age at marriage are prepared based on 1991 Census. Whcreas, in the notes relating to (i) percentage distribution of migrants by place ofbirthfplace oflast residence, (ii) main religions, (iii) marital status of population, (iv) age, sex and education and (v) distribution of spectrum of mother tongue, nature and extent of changes occurred in the district in its basic socio-demographic features during the decade 1991-2001 arc analysed. The eight digits permanent location code number (PLCN) to all the villages and towns have been assigned keeping in view the future needs. The village and town level amenity data have been collected, compiled and computerised in prescribed record structure under the supervision of Dr. C. Chandramouli, Director of Census Operations, Tamil Nadu. Thereafter, efforts have been made to ensure comparability of the information with that of 1991 census data and the information brought out by the respective State Governments in their annual reports and statistical handbooks for various years after 1991. The task of planning, designing and coordination of this publication was carried out by Shri RG. Mitra, Deputy Registrar General (C&T) and Dr. I.C. Agrawal, Assistant Registrar General of Social Studies Division. Dr. RP.Singh, Deputy Registrar General (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of maps. Whereas, Shri Anil Kumar Arora, Deputy Director of Data Processing DiVIsion who worked under the overall supervision of Shri Himakar, Addl. Director (EDP) helped in preparation of record structure for computerisation of village and town directory data and the programme for the generation of Village Directory and Town Directory statements including analytical inset tables. The draft DCHB manuscripts received from the Census Directorates have been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri S.L. Jain, Deputy Director and Shri RK. Mehta, Assistant Director. I am thankful to all of them and others who have contributed to make this publication possible.
