BlocklTownwise 464-511 V FOREWORD Publication of the District Censlis Handbooks (DCHs) was initiated after the 1951 Census and is continuing since then with some innovations/moditications after each decennial Census. This is the most vaillabk district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Government !\lnion Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data information on some of the basic demographic and socio economic characteristics and on availbility of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village ano town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrator~" academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and sociocultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract ( PCA ) of each village and town (ward - wise)of the district. The DCHs publ ished after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive accont of the district administrative statistics, census tab les and Village and Town Directories inc Iud ing PCA.After the [971 Census, two parts ofthc District Census Handbooks ( Part - A : Comprising Vi[lage and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PC A) were released in a[1 the States and Union Territoryes. The third part (C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out. could not to be published in many States! UTs due to considerably delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981 ,some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were publiched in two parts for each district after the 1981 census. While Part - A: Comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward - wise) inculding Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto tehsil/town level were provided in PArt - B : To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together in the referrent village, the distance in board ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs programme. Similarly, information of the approach to the village was also provided for the first time during 1981 census in the Village Direch1ry so as te give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. [n case of Town Directores also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme, a Statement [V - A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the programmes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums .. In this statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class [and Classs II towns. Apart fiom this, one column on the Schedule Castes and Scheduled Tribes popUlation and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements [V and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as tollowed in 1981. However. the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine - fold industrial classification of main workers has been- given as aganist four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this. sex-wise population in the O-f> age group has also been inculded in PCA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as ill iterates at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-levl'l presentation of data in the village directory and PCA instead of the traditional Tehsi[ / Taluk IPS level presentation. It is expected that the pres~ntation of village and Town directory and PCA data at C.D. Block level will help th-: planners information ofmicro - level developmental plans, as the C.D. block is the lowest administrative unit rO) developmental planning. in order to facilitate the task ofadministrators, planners and researchers intending to use village Director).· PCA data, either from the magnetic tapes/tloppies or from the published records, both the compukr and manual codes for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the correspond ing codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of State Government / UT administration and the Census Organi ation.Tlll' data have been collected and compiled under the direction of Shri. K. Sam path KlIlIliu-. Director ofCenslis Operations. vii Tamil nadu, on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of priniting. The task of planning. designing and co-ordination of the publication was initiated by Dr. K.P. Ittaman, former Deputy Registrar General (5.5) and Shri. M.M. Dua, Joint Director, for the sake of uniformity in presentation of information I data and for preparation of analytical note depicting the salient features emerging from a micro-level analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly secutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidence .ofShri. M.K. Jain, the present Deputy Registrar General,lS.S). This task was carried out by Shri. A.K. Singh, Deputy Director who was assisted by Shri. N.S. Soam, Assistant Director and his staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of the maps was initially provided by Dr. B.K. Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (Map) and later by Mrs. MinatiGhosh, the present Deputy Registar General ( Map). I am thankful to all those who have contributed to this project. New Delhi A.R. NANDA June 11. 1991 Registrar General, India viii PREFACE The District Census Handbook is the most useful publication for the public, social workers, researchers, academicians, administrators, local bodies and the government officials for various official and non-official purposes.
