FOREWORD
The district census handbook (DCH), compiled by the census organisation on behalf of the State governments, is one of the most valuable products of the Census. The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter-alia used for delimi tation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data up to village level for the rural areas and wardwise 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 tbe 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA for each village and town of the 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 PCA. The 1971 nCR series was planned in three parts Part-A related to village and town directory, I'art-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. 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 lown 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 vilJage the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available ma~ hI: given. The restructuring of the format of the viilage directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infra:otructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro leVel planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area plannmg but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise tbe regional imbalances in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been iptroduced 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 been introduced in the village directory with this obj(!ctive in mind. The new item on approach to the village 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 alld number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the prJportlon of scheduled castes and scheduled tribe. popUlation to the total population has also been made witb this view in mind.
The formats of the town dlTectory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Pr02ramme by providing information on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amenities in slums 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 tor the improvement of slums. The columns On ScheJuled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population In statement IV relating to CIvic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/ceutrts under educational facilitie5 in stutement V are also added inter-alia with thiS iv
vtow. A sIgnificant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the town directory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban areaS of the country can I:,e best analysed 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 pnrpose.
The format of the primary census abstract tor the vilJag('s and to\'.Ins bas been formulated in the light of cbanges 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 designed that Part-A ot the volume contains village and town dJrectory and Part-B the PCA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto Tahsil/Town level-so I\t the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on PCA and non-census data in relation to the infra:;,tructure has been introduced to enhance its value. The district and tabsiJ/poJice stationjC D Block etc. level maps depicting the boundaries and 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 of Shri K. C. Dubey, the Director of Censlls OperatIons, Madhya Pradesh on be'1alf of the State Government which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and coordination of this publication WaS carried out by Shri N. G. Nag. Deputy Registrar General (Social Studie:;;) of my office. Dr.B. K. Roy, Deputy Registrar General (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. Data received from Census Directorates have been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division at the headquarters under the guidance of Sbri M. M. Dua, Senior Research Officer. J am thankful to all who have contributed in the project.

PREFACE
One of the most Important publications of the Census are the District Census Handbooks. This publication was begun in this caption since 1951 Census. But prior to tbis, a similar publication was released in the Census earlier than 1951. Tbat publication was on the title of Village Statistics and it contains only vi1lage names and total population thereof. The 1951 Census could. therefore, be said to represent a significant step in the process of making detailed Census statistics available down upto the village level.
In fact the District Census Handbook is the most important pllblication at the Census and it also perhaps the most widely used. Also perhaps this is the' ('Illy puhlicatiolJ used at the micro-level down upto the tahsil and development blod.
The form of the District Census Handbook has gone cunsiderable change since 1951. This is basically due to the growing demand for more information. For the purpose of convenience as well a. with a view of making the basic statistics availa hie with the data users as early as possible the District Census Handbooks have been split into 2 parts, Part-A contains the Introductory Note on the district and Town/Village Directory. This volume will be found useful to get almost all the non-Census statistics available at one place. Part-B also contains an introductory note and the Primary Census Abstract.
One of the innovation of the present Census has been in terms of aIlotm~nt of Location Cod e numbers to the villages. 1n the earlier Censuses the location code system was such that the villages of a Patwari Circle were found at different serial numbers. Since the Patwari Circle still remains an important administrative unit, the location code numbers have been so given in the present Census that it may be possible to locate all the villages of a particular Patwari Circle at one place one below the other.
When the planning for the present census was started in 1979 the tahsils were still revivable as an important unit of the administration, the whole planning was, therefore, done t:lking tahsil as the unit. It was during the course of the census that some requesls were informally received for making blockwise data available. Since these requests were received very late and were also received only in an informal manner, it has not been possible to disturb the original plann'ing of villages arranged according to the location code numbers taking tahsil as one unit. However, additionat exercise has been done and in addition to the tahsil figures blockwise figures have also been indicat~j. ft is hoped that the availability of these blockwise data will enhance the utility of this publication.
It is hoped that this handbook will provide the basic statistical support to executive and developmental administration. It is needless to state that the proper implementation of policy depends on the ability of the administration autborities concerned.
It may be remembered that the villagewise area figures given in the Primary Census Abstract and the Village Directory are those based on the village papers while the tahsil totals given in PCA are obtained from the Land Records department, which in many cases exclude forest area. vi
The statistics that are contained in the district census hand books are the result of a massive and marathon exercise in the compilation and tabulation of voluminous statistics. The compilation of the statistics contained in this volume was carried Ollt by 9 Regional Tabulation Offices each under a Regional Deputy Director of Census Operations. These Regional Offices Were run with the help of purely temporary staff-roughly about 1,500 Tabulators, about 250 Checkers and about 80 Supervisors. I am grateful to my colleagues, the Regional Deputy Directors and those temporary staff for the speed and accuracy In the ed iting and basic compilation of more than nearly 522 lakh slips and nearly I iakh of household schedules. The compilation of village directory was taken up at the headquarters and I am equally grateful to the officers and staff who have workt::d whole heartedly on the job in a collec tive and co-operative venture. It is not possible nor fair to name in this. The maps contained in the handbook bave been prepared in the Cartographic Section of my office. However, the analytical note bas been prepared by Shri V. S. ]osbi, Assistant Director, of Census Operations.
I am thankful to all who have contributed to brIng this publication possible. The census organisation is alw grateful to the Government of Madhya Pradesh for having been so kind as to undertake the publication of these handbooks a nd to the Controller. Printing and Stationery. Madhya Pradesh. Bhopal aod his staff for the printIng arrangements made. The inspiration behind this ambitious Venture is that of our indefatigable Registrar General, Shri P. Padmanabha to whom we are all deeply grateful. Our thanks are also due to Shri N. G. Nag. Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) for all the help that we received from him and his section.
