PREFACE One of the important publications of the Census of India 1961 is the District Census Handbook for each district. The District Census Handbooks were first published in the 1951 Census. In the District Census Handbook of the 1961 Census it was originally envisaged to include detai1ed administrative statistics, Census Tables and Village Dire ctory, along with certain maps. Due to circumstances beyond the conlirol of this organisa tion, the District Census Handbooks of Bangalore, Dharwar and Mysore Districts were delayed. In order to ensure that the basic demographic data is available, it was decided to publish the handbooks of these three districts in a slightly modified form. Accordingly, the handbooks of these three districts contain only Table SCT-I (Part A and Part B) relating to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and the Vi11age Directory. The latter furnishes information talukwise of the villages with population details. These handbooks have been compiled by the Census Organisation under the general instructions of the R~gistrar General and are printed and published by the State Government. BANGALORE P.
