The DCR is cons.tantty referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of 10cal1evel and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook is the only publication which provides Primary CmlliUS Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for the fural areas and ward wise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA for each village and town oflhe district. During 1961 Census the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PeA. The 1971 DCH series was planned 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 IItatistic!l, di!ltrict census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and printing. While designing the format of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data has also been kept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brought together in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of thc fOlmat of the village directory and incorporating more ex:haustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the net.d of micr(l level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalances in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres, and community health workers in the village have bet'n introduced in the village directory with this objective in mind. The neW item on approach to the villa.ge is to have an idea about the villages in the district which are inaccessible. A new column, "total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendices Ii~ting the villages where no amenities are available and according to the ptoportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population to the tot 0.1 population has also been made with this view in mind. The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A neW statement on civic and other amenities ill !dums in Class I and Class II towns (Statement IV-A) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmeS on provision of civic amenities for the improve ment of slums. The columns on Schedule(\ Castes and Scheduled Tribes popUlation in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy 4XaSSes/centres under educational facilities in Statement V are also added inter alia with this view. A significant addition is class oftown in all the seven statements of the town direc tory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban iI.reas of the country can be best anal yscd by taking the class of towns into consideration. The addition of the columns on civic administration status and population in a few statements also serveS this purpose. The format of the primary census abstract for the village!! and towns has boen formulated in the light of changes in the economic and other questions canvassed through the individual slip of 1981 Census. In order to avoid delay in pUblication of 1981 DCH series it has been So dosigncd that Part A of the vo lume contains village and town directory and Part B, the PeA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes peA upto Tahsil/Town levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note supported (v) by a number of inset tables based on PCAand non-ccnsus data in relation to the infrastructure has been introduced to enhance its value. The district and tah~il/Police Station/CD Block etc., level maps depicting the boundaries a.nd other important features have been inserted at appropriate places, to further enhance the value of the publication. This publication is a joint venture of the State Government and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled in the State under the direction ofShri O. P. Bharadwaj, I.A.S .• the Director of Census Operations, Haryana on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of printing.

Roy, Deputy Registrar Goneral (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. Data reoeived from Census Directorates have been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division at the headquarters under the guidance of Shri M.M. Dua, Senior Research Officer.
