Da.te 12-11-1969. 8'11,bject :-Census of India 1971-Housenumbering and Houselisting Constitution of Blocks. In the Census Calendar for Mysore State it has been specified that the 'O''Perations relating to housenumbering and bouselisting will commence in April 1970 and be completed by the end of May 1970. Detailed instructions will be issued in due course regarding the method of housenumbering and houselisting. As a preliminary step, it is necessary that blocks be constituted for housenumbering and houselisting purposes. The. word 'block' as used in this circular means any svecific area which can be clearly demarcated and which is formed for the purposes of the census operations relating to housenumbering and houselisting. The constitution of "enumerator blocks" for housenumbering and houselisting 'Pur'Poses is now to be carried out. Rural Areas 2. One enumerator block should generally consist of about 200 households {)r more; in other words, must consist of a lJopulation of 1,000 to 1,500 people. Probably, it is easier to apply tbe population criterion in constituting the blocks. However, it niay be emphasised that a block may consist of slightly more or slightly less than these figures de'Pending on local circumstances. 'Vhat is important is that. an enumerator block should be clearly deman~ated. 3. Generally, it should be possible to constitute reasonably sized villages into single blocks. However, if a village has a large population, it may be split into more than one block for operational convenience. Each of these blocks in larger villages may inclUde a population of about 1,000 to 1,500 '{)eople. 2 4. Similarly, there may be 'cases wbere ~il1age~ with small population are, adjacent to each other and where the population ofsucb villages if taken together would not exceed a thomand. Each"o.f such vill~ges m~y>pe constituted into a sepa.r~te enUlllerato~ block., Howe:er, since it ,has, })ee~ es~illlated that a t~,~al popUlation of about a thousand is a reasonable workload for bouse-numbering and houselisting operations for an enumerator, such "illages, though constituted into separate blocks, may together be entrusted to a >single enumerator. 5. If a village has one or more hamlets, irrespective of the size of these haml6ts, it is desirable to divide the area of the village'into blocks sncb that eri,eh hamlet is constitiuted a'l a separate block. One enumerator, however, can be placed in charge cf the (Jsli village as also hamlets despite their being constituted into separate blocks if the total population is not likely to exceed 1,500. 6. In forest areas, there may be habitations which will not fall within the area of any revenue village. In such cases an enumerator block may be consti tuted on the basis of the smallest forest administrative unit. Details of such areas must be obtained from the District 'Forest Officer. 7. In areas where the permanent housenumbering system has been implemented, the area unit for housenumbering may be convenientJy adopted in constituting the blocks for houselisting. Depending on the population, one or more such areas will constitute a block for the 1>urpose under consideration. 8. :Five contiguous enumerator blocks will constitute a Supervisory Circle. After the blocks have been constituted, the Supervisory Circles into which_ contiguous blocks fall should also be demarcated.
