This is the mo~t . valuable district level publication brought out hy the Census Organisation on hehalf of each State GOVlJUnion Territory administration. IL ;IJ/er-olia providcs data/information on l\omc of the basic' demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain import .. nt civic amenities/f.. dlities in clich village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academicbns and resean.'hers. The scope of the DCH was inili~llIy confined to certain important census tables on popui.ltion, economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. Thu DCHs publil\hcd aftl:r 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 Cen!o.us Handhooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town .Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) wen: rdeased in all the Stales and Union Territories. The third part, Part C of the District Cen!o.us Handbooks compri»ing admini»trativc statistic» and di~rict census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be puhlished in many StateS/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant matcri~11. In 1981, some Qew features alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. The»c were published in t,+,o parts for cach district after thc 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tchsilltown level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the .amenilies except electricity. were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not availabk in the referent villagc, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amcnity was givcn. Information on somc new items sueh as adult literacy centres, primary health !o.ub-eentrcs and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the rcquirements of the Revil\cd Minimum Necds Programme. Similarly, information on approach to lh'c village was ?Iso provided for the lir»t time in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about thc, number of inaccessible villages in each district. [n case of Town Directories also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme, a Statement IV -A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk ~lul the programmes for pr()~iding better civic and othcr amenities in the slums. In this Statement details on civie and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and Class II tuwns. Apart from this, one column on lhe Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy c1as!o.cs/centres were added in Statements JV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 19')1 Census is by and large the l\:tI11C as followed in 1981. However, tne formal of peA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the bl:ndil of data users. Nine-roM indu!o.trial dassilication of main workers has been given as against four-fold industrial classilicalion presented in' the 1')81 O ..'11sus. In addition to this, lhe !>ex-wise populmion in the 0-6 age-group has also been included in PCA for the lirst time with a view to enabling d,tla users to compute more reali~tic literacy rates as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effectivc dcvelopmental programmes. (v) One of the most important innovations in the 11)<)1 Censm is the Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the Village Direclory ami PCA in~lead of Ihe lradilional Tah!'tilrraluk/PS level presentation. It is expected that thl.! prl.!scntation of Village Directory and PCA dala al C.D.Blm:k level will help the planners in formuhllion of micro-level developmental plans, as the C.D.Block is lhe lowe!'>l administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use Village Directory/PCA data, either from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes for each village have been provided for the 11)<)1 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the State GO\l./UT administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction of Ms. Sohha Nambisan, Director of Census Operations, Karnataka on behalf of the Slate GoVl. admini!>tration which has borne the coM of printing. The task of planning, designing and c()oHJin'ltion of the publil·ation W<lS initi<lted by Dr.K.P.lttaman, former Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua, Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of information/d<lla and for prep<lration of analytical note depicting lhe salient features emerging from a micro-level analy!>is of Census/l1on-Cen~lIs data, a model Di!>tricl Census Handhook from each Stale and Union Territory was thoroughly serminbed in the Sucial Studies Divi!>ion under the guidance of Shri M.KJain, the present Deputy Registrar General (S.S.). This task was carried out by Shri A.K.Singh, Deputy Director who was as!>j!>tcd by S/Shri V.KJain and Hariram, Im'e!>tigalors and sl<lff. Technical guidance in lhe preparation of the maps wa~ initially provided by Dr.B.K.Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (Map) and later by Mrs. Minali Gho!>h, the presenl DeplH} Registrar General (Map). I am thankful to all those who have contributed to this project. N_ Deihl A.R.Nanda June II, 1992. Reghtrur GCIll"ral, India (vi) PREFACE In the foreword to the 1991 series of the District Census Handhooh, ~ri A.R.Namla, LA.S., the Rcgi!.trar General and Census Commis.... ioner, India, has traced the hi!.tory of the Di!-.trict Census Handbooks. He has also succinctly explained the !.cope and coverage of the District Census Handbooks. These volumes contain the salient data on the population for every village and town as reVl.!aled by the 1991 Census. They also contain a wealth of information regarding the~e villages and towns which, although not part of the population census, throw l>Ollle light on the circull):.t:lnces in which people live and is therefore relevant to the data on the population.
