This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt.lUnion Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners,' administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cultui'al aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district.
