The Census of 197 J has come and gone leaving a vast residue of data collected carefully and metIculously on a country-wide basis by an army of trained enumerators. Apart from certain parti­ culars of every individual in our land the Census ha~, also taken care to gather information ab')ut a host of other activities-institutions, establishments, services and so on. In other words. an attempt has been made to enumerate citizens in the background of the environment in which they live. Every inch of the country has beell mapped and available basic amenities noted. It was a colossal task calling for a gigan tic co-opera tive effort by the administration and the people. Performance in the Indian Census thro ughout thl! past century has been creditable and has earned uS the appreciation of the world. For the State of Haryana this is reaUythefirst Census and So it is important that the data collec­ ted be presented in a quick and comprehensive manner. Difficult eno ugh, as the task of collecting data is, its compilation, tabulation and publication within a reas<Jnably quick time calls for further arduous labour by a united team of dedicated workers. We were fortunate enough to have just such a team. The result is that we have been 3ble to bring out some publications within a few months of the actual Census count. Since the Di strict is still the basic functional unit ofadministration, the District Census Hand book is of special importance tel all concerned with administrz.tion policy and planning. It should be of equal value to the Scholar, scientist, sociologist and businessman. The data contained in it has been sorted out and presented along lines determined after careful consideration and discussion. All that is of importance in a district is contained in this Handbook. The Town and Village Directories in Part -A contain a wealth of useful information about these units. In Part-B-viUage and Townwise Primary Census Abstracts have been given all the basic Census data separately for each village and town in the district. Part-C of the District Census Handbook which would be brought cut sometime later would contain an analysis of the various CenSus data in addition to the administrative statistics and a write-up on the social, cultural, historical and other important aspects of the lif'! of the district. We owe our success in bringing out this publication to the inspiri ng leadership of cur enthusiastic and zealous Registrar General offndia-Shri A. Chandra Stkhar. For him the Census is not merely an administrative exercise but a vital part Df existence. In his own words the-"modern Census has become an indispensable instrument of policy and development planning. It need hardly be str~ssed that a Census is not the mere counting ofhead~. It is a kind of stock-taking as it were, of the nat10n's human wealth. The Census aims to present a complete picture of man, in his socia.l, cultural and economic setting." The District Census Handbook attempts to depict in a concise form this variegated pheno­ menon of human life. We hope it will serve as a popular ref",rence book for all data users.

(v) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is a long arduous process between the actual Census taking and the publication of the various Census Reports. In the State of Haryana, besides the District Census Officers, Sub-Divisional Census Officers, Charge Officers, the Assistant Charge Officers etc., as many as 19,350 odd Enumerators and Supervisors were appointed on the work of actual count in the field. A bulk of the Enumerators and Supervisors were drawn from the Education Department of the State and the remaining from various State/Central Government Departments and from the Urban Local Bodies. They measured up to their responsibilities and performed the work entrusted to them willingly and well. The credit for the completion of this colossal task, involving the canvassing of the Census Schedule called the 'Individual Slip' separately for each single individual found in the State during the enumeration period, on schedule and without any untoward incident goes very largely to them. The huge mass of data collected in the field by the army of enumerators moving from house to house was processed for the formulation of a large variety of tables at the two Regional Tabulation Offices at, Chandigarh and Rohtak with the helpJlof about 500 Sorters/Compiler Checkers/Supervisors. The I Regional Tabulation Office at Rohtak was ably looked after by Shri N. K. Tandon, Deputy Director who was assisted by Shri Janak RajlVashishtha. Investigator and a few Statistical Assistants including Shri Jaswant Lal. The Regional Tabulation Office. Chandigarh, was controlled by my Deputy Director at Headquarters Shri J. S. Dhamija who was assisted by Shri G. D. Singla, Tabulation Officer and a few Statistical Assistants including Shri Pran Nath Modgil. The tables prepared at the two Regional Tabulation Offices in a raw form were checked and finalised into Village and Town-wise Primary Census' Abstracts which form Part -'B' of this Handbook by Shri J. N. Suri, Tabulation Officer who was assisted by Shri Ajab Lal Kakkar, Statistical Assistant and others. The data contained in the Village and Town-wise Directory, which forms Part· 'A' of this Hand­ book was collected by us from the District Revenue Agency and the Urban Local Bodies. We are in­ debted to them ~ for their co-operation in supplying the required data promptly. In the Head Office the data so supplied was processed and finalised by Shri Kulbhushan Lakhanpal. Tabulation Officer who was assisted by Shri Om Parkash Malik, Statistical Assistant and others. The maps included in this Handbook were prepared by a team of Cartographers headed by Shri Shiv Rai Puri, Tabulation Officer. I am also indebted to my Deputy Director Headquarters, Shri J. S. Dhamija, for effectively co­ ordinating all this work at various stages and the special efforts made by him in bringing out this Hand­ book so soon after the Census is over. I am grateful to Shri Tara Chand, Controller of Printing and Stationery, Haryana, for the ready co-operation extended by him in the printing of this Handbook. 1. E. N.
