Foreword The District Census Handbook (DCHB) published by Census Organization since 1951 census, is one of the important publication in the context of planning and development at grass-root 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 along with the status of availability of civic amenities, infrastructure facilities, etc. The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Table 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 PCA of village and town including the SCs and STs PCA up to tahsil! town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of villages and town dire rectory 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, was given. Information on new items such as adults literacy centers, primary health sub-centers and community health workers in the villages were provided so as to meet the requirements of some of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Information on approach to the village was provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to given the details on number of inaccessible villages in each district. In Town Directory, a statement (IV -A) on slums was introduced' to provide the details on civic and other amenities in the notified slums of Class I and ClassII towns. The 1991 census DCHB, by and large, followed the pattern of presentation of 1981 census, except the format of PCA was restructured.
