PREFACE The District Census Handbooks which were first published at the 1951 Census proved to be very useful·to the State and Central Government Departments. private agencies and academic bodies like Universities and Research Institutions. The scope of these Handbooks was enlarged to make them more useful during the 1961 Census. Considering the delay in the publication of these Hand books due to difficult ies in finding suitable presses which could undertake huge printing work of this kind, it was considered desirable to split up the 1971 Census Handbooks into three parts viz., Part A - Village and Town Directory, Part B - Village and Town Primary Census Abstract and Part C Analytical Rep:)rt, Departmental Statistics and District Census Tables. This was done mainly with a view to publishing Parts A and B which contain not only the population data upto the village and town level but also the particulars about the basic amenities etc., available in the towns and villages, as early as possible for public use. The scope and contents of these three parts are elaborated in the introduction of this volume. I am glad to record here that Parts A and B of the 197{ Census Handbooks of all the 21 Districts in the State have 'been finalised already and I expect that before the end of 1973 Parts A and B f.)r all the 21 Districts would have been published. The compilation of these Handbooks is being done from the 1951 Census in the Office of the Director of Census Operations while the cost of paper, printing, etc., required for these volumes is being borne by the State Government. The Andhra Pradesh State Government have readily agreed to bear the cost of printing and paper for the 1971 Census Handbooks. I am grateful to the Andhra Pradesh State Government and in particular to the Additional Chief Secretary to the Government of Andhra Pradesh, Shri S. A. Quader, lAS., for their co-operation and encouragement. I am th'lnkful to the Director of Printing, Government of Andhra Pradesh for assisting me by selecting suitable presses for undertaking th~ printing of the Handbooks. The data presented in the Village and Town Directories are obtain\d from different State Government and Central Government Department& but for whose co-operation Part-A of the Handbooks could not have been compiled. I am thankful to all of them for furnishing me the required data. I am extremely grateful to Shri A. Chandra Sekhar, lAS., Registrar General, India and Dr. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrar General, India who formulated the contents of these Handbooks in detail and rendered spontaneous help and encouragement to me at all stages.
