CENSUS OF INDIA 1971 RAJASTHAN POPULATION STATISTICS DIRECTORATE OF CENSUS OPERATIONS, RAJASTHAN JAIPUR \ PREFACE OUR READBRS may recall that soon after the 1971 Census was taken, we had issued a paper by the middle of April, 1971 presenting some of the basic particulars about our people in Rajasthan. We released the figures, even though they were only crude totals having been built up through a rapid relay of counts from a massive fleet of census workers spread throughout the length and breadth of tbe State. Four months later. by the middle of August, we again published a supplement to the said paper seeking to release some details and the additional information which became available to us by that time. The tabulation of census data is a gruelling and a time consuming process, and although quite a long time has passed since we took the Census, the tabulation for it stilI goes OD. Our anxiety to satisfy the demands of our readers. however, has again impelled us to bring out whatever information we have been able to cull out from the massive information now being processed. The figures used JO this book have been built as a consequence of the regular tabulation and are, thererore, final. A number of simple tables have been provided in tbis pocket book which give an idea about some of the demographic aspects of the State as a whole and at the district, tehsil and town levels. A couple of tables on India and various states have also been provided to assist the reader in having an all India comparative picture. These tables are preceded by a note which introduces the subject matter of this pocket book and gives the necessary background material. The bringing out of this booklet on the eve of the tbirteenth SenIOr Officers Conference, is owed entirely to the kind encouragement and guidance provided by Sbri S. L. Khurana, Chief Secretary to the Government of Rajastban. All credit for compiling this booklet and for seeing it through the press goes to Dr. U. B. Matbur, Deputy Director, Shri S. R. Luhadia, Assistant Director and otber colleagues, listed overleaf, in this Directorate. Shri Patni of tbe Jubilee Block Works took special pains to ensure neat and timely printing. V. S.
