This is the third census after the merger of the Union Territory with the Indian Union. The Houselisting operations in this Union Territory were con ducted during 21st July-10th August, 1980 and the Individual count during 9th February-sunrise of 1st March, 1981. It is customary to have an administration report prepared for every census, so as to serve as a guidance for the performance of pre paratory works and conduct of the next decadal census. Accordingly, the 1981 Census Administration Report is prepared in a single volum'e but with two sections viz. Part I-A-Administration Report (Enumeration) detailing the activities in the directorate right from the sett'ing up of the office down to the completion of enumeration operations and Part I-B-Administration Report (Tabulation) devol ving on tabulation activities. The second section is a small one since this directorate was expected to process the schedules and slips only upto the Primary Census Abstract stage and to transmit them to the Directorate of Census Operations, Tamil N adu for further manage ment. Shri P.L. Samy of the Indian Administrative Service, a Secretary to the Government of Pondicherry Administration, became the ex officio Director of Census Operations for the Union Territory with effect from 28th June, 1979. He initiated steps to build up the organi sation for the 1981 Census which was a challenging task since there was no inter-censal office in Ponclicherry. He ably guided the entire Census Operations and hence he deserves all credit for the success of the endeavour. He demitted the Office of the Director of Census Operations on 16th June, 1983 on leave preparatory to retirement and hence this report has been prepared by me. Our grateful thanks are due to the Registrar Genera 1. India. Shri P. Padmanabha of the Indian Administrative Service and Officers of the Office of the RegistraI:" General, India for having pro vided an opportunity to serve in the Census Organisation this time also and to be associated with the release of various publications.

Ravikumar, Computors had been helpful in locating the files and furnishing particulars for the formulation of report whenever required. Shri J.

Junior Grade Stenographer and on his repatriation to the Pondicherry Administration, Selvi V. Vasantha, Junior Grade Stenographer and SmL T. Saraswathy, Lower Division (v) (vi) Clerk typed this report and also the analytical reports and state ments relating to Part II·A -& B-'GeneraJ Population Tables', Part VII-'Tables On Houses and Disabled Population' and Part-XIII-A & B-'District Census Hand Book'. The brunt of comparison of these materials had been shared by Computors Selvi G. Revathy, S! Shri N. Sellakrishnan. V.C. Vinayaram. M. Antoine .and K. Tamilselvam . The printing job of this volume as also the first two Census publications referred to in the previous paragraph viz. Part-II-A&B and Part-VII was entrusted to the Government of India Press, Coim batore and I record my appreciation for their efforts to bring out the publications in time. PONDICHERRY D.
