CENSUS OF INDIA 2001 SERIES-14 NAGALAND DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK Part - A & B WOKHA DISTRICT VILLAGE & TOWN DIRECTORY ~ VILLAGE AND TOWNWISE PRIMARY CENSUS ABSTRACT P.G. Tenzing of the Indian Administrative Service Director of Census Operations, Nagaland __ -_ - .." -- -c-::---~~-_ --- ...... -- A Typical Lotha House n the olden times Lothas constructed their houses during spring because Iby that time the materials to be used are seasoned. Lotha houses are similar to each other. The topmost angular verge which projects down the roof side called Ngeriipiing, is seen bounded by more circlets of strong thatch called lishii or oko, palm leaf (Levistonia assamica) fastened to a ridge pole. The front side of a house is semi-circular with a door in the middle of the semi-circle, which is called mpongkl: The walls are generally bamboo plaited. there is no separate kitchen but cooking is done inside the same house and usually the fireplace called nchii is kept right in the middle of the house. the floor of the house is at the ground level and a round the house a drain is dug to prevent the rainwater from getting in. in some houses a raised floor is made of bamboo mat or timber. Almost in every house, in the rear, there is an open-air platform for basking, washing, sitting etc. A corridor runs lengthwise in the house from entrance to the rear for houses with open-air platform behind. The house is congested with household articles. We find at the porch, animal heads, mortars, troughs, firewood and agricultural implements. Stools, shelves, racks with content of pots, platters and other utensils form the part and parcel of the house alongwith beds made of planks or bamboo. Formerly, beds were'used to be hewn of tree-trunks. in the bygone days, there were much more spacious houses having many apartments in case of a man having more than one wife. But with the advent of modern civilization the housing pattern has widely changed in the district especially in the urban areas.

The publication, which is brought for each district, contains several demographic and socio-economic characteristics village­ wise and ton-wise of the district alongwith the status of availability of civic amenities, infrastructural facilities, etc. 2. The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of ach village and town within the district. Thereafter, at successive censuses, its scope and coverage has been enlarged. The DCHB published at the 1961 census provided a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory including PCA. The 197 I census­ DCHB series was in three parts: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-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.
