CENSUS OF INDIA, 1971 SERIES 16 ORISSA PART X DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOO~ PART A-TOWN AND VILLAGE DIRECTORY BALASORE B. TRIPATHI of the Indian Administrative Service Director of Census Operation!. Orissa CENSUS OF INDIA, 1971 DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK PART A-TOWN AND VILLAGE DIRECTORY BALASORE PREFACE The District Census Handbook first introduced as an ancillary to 1951 Census appeared as a State Government publication in a more elaborate and ambitious form in 1961 Census. It was divided into 3 parts: Part I gave a narrative account of each district; Part II contained various Census Tables and a series of Primary Census data relating to each village and town ; and Part HI pre3'!llted c~rtain administrative statistics obtained from Government Departments. These parts further enriched by inclusion of maps of the district and of police stations within the district were together brought out in one volume. The Handbook for each one of the 13 districts of the State was acknowledged to be highly useful. 2. But the purpose and utility of this valuable compilation somewhat suffered on account of the time lag that intervened between the conclusion of Censl,ls and the publication of the Handbook. The delay \Vas unaVOIdable in the sense that the Handbook complete with,all the constituent parts brought together in one volume had necessar'ily to wait till after completion of the processing and tabulation of Census data and collection and compilation of ~ large array of administrarive and other statistics. /' 3. With the object of cutting out the delay, and also to making each volume h~ndy and not-too-bulky it has been decided to bring out the 1971 District Census Handbook in three parts separately with the data becoming _avallable from stage to stage as briefly indicated below: Part A-This part will 'incorporate the Town Directory and the Village' Directory for each district. The Town Directory will contain certain essential data completed in six statements relating to each town of the district. The Village Directory, besides giving statistical data relating to various amenities existing in a village, will also provide basic data bearing on land use. A separate consolidated Town Directory will also be brought oui: at all India level as well as at State level in Part VI-A of the Census publication- serie~: at a later stage .. vi Part B-Part B will render a statistical account of each village as also of each town tahsilwise and within a tahsil, police-stationwise. For each town the data will again be presented wardwise and further down in terms of ~ach enumerator block. The data so presented by the lowest administrative unit will include the numb~r of occupied residential houses and households, total population by sex and literates, population of Scheduled Castes ahd Scheduled Tribes, workers ch~lssified into nine industrial categories and non-workers, generally referred to as Primary CenS!lS Abstract or simply P. C. A. This volume will also ~ntain, administrati-ye maps of the district, tahsils and -palioe stil.tions. Part C-This will contain a short write-up on the district and will also contain administrative statistics and varjous Census Tables-of the district. 4. In pursuance of this scheme publicaHen of Parts A and B of the Handbook has been taken in hand. It will be our endeavour to bring: out both the parts for all the 13 districts of the Slate compkte with P. C. A. and maps of different administrative units during this year 'and the next. Part C of the Handbook wiIl come out later. 5. An explanatory note is given at the beginning of the Town "Directory as well as the Village Directory introducing the statements included therein. The concepts and definitions of the various subjects covered in the Directory and the abbreviations adopted have .been explained in these notes. To facilitate location of any particular village, the villages of each police station in a district have been arranged in an alphabetical order also indicating the code number of each village. The list is appended at the end of the Village Directory of each tahsil. An administrative map of the district is given at the beginning of the volume. - < 6. The information on ameni6cs in the Village Diredory have been collected through the agency of the Census enumeration staff and that of land use from the Tahsildars. The statistical data relating to Town Directory have been collected from different d~artments of the Central and State Governments, Block Development Offic;ers and Executive Officers of-Municipalities and" Notified Area Councils. 7. Collection, collation and compilation of such maSsive data in respect of each of 51,639 villages and 81 towns in their various aspects is a formidable task. Though all possihle cate has been taken through check and recheck to remove discrepancies In the figures, the possibility of errors still creeping into them cannot be altogether ruled out. Notwithstanding these vii limitations, the mass of the statistical inforrration presented in the Directories will, it is hoped, come handy and prove useful to the Government, local bodies. scholal's and other data users engaged in Tural and regional planning. 8. I must place on record my deep appreciation and thanks to the Heads of Department~ of Government, Local Bodies, District Officers, Tahsildars, Block Development Officers, Executive Officers of Municipalities and Notified Area Councils among others but for whose unstinttd co-operation and help this voluminous compilation would not have been possjble. In m):' office I am specially indebted to the Deputy Director Shri B. N. Das, Tabulation Officers Shri D. Satpathy and Sri L. N. Misra and staff for the perseverance, diligence and zeal with which they applied themselves to tbis none-too-easy and arduous task. B. Tripathi CONTENTS PAGB I. Preface v II.
