The publicatlOn, whICh is brought out for each district, contams several demographic and SOCIO-economlC charactenstics village-wIse and town-wise of the district alongwith the status of availabIhty of CiVIC amemtles, mfrastructural facilities, etc. The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town WIthm the dlstnct. Thereafter, at successive censuses, Its scope and coverage has been enlarged. The DCHB published at the 1961 census proVIded a descripTIve account of the distnct, admmistratIve statistics, census tables and a Vlllage and town directory including PCA. The 1971 census-DCHB senes was in three parts: Part-A related to VIllage and town dIrectory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C compnsed analytIcal report, admmIstrative statistics, district census tables and certam analytical tables based on PCA and amemty data in respect of Vlllages. The 1981 census DCHB was m two parts: Part-Acontamed VIllage and town directory and Part-B the PCA of VIllage and town mcludmg the SCs and STs PCA up to tahsil/town levels. New features alongwlth restructunng of the formats of village and town directory were added into it. In VIllage . Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not avaIlable m the referent VIllage, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place haVIng such an amemty, was given. Information on new items such as adult hteracy centres, pnmary health sub-centres and community health workers m the village were provided so as to meet the requirements of some of the Revised Mimmum Needs Programme. InformatIOn on approach to the VIllage was prOVIded for the first tIme in the VIllage Directory so as to gIve the detaIls on number of maccesslble VIllages in each dIStrICt. In the Town Directory, a statement (VII) on slums was mtroduced to provide the details on CIvic and other amenities in the notified slums of Class I and Class IT towns. The 1991 census DCHB, by and large, followed the pattern ofpresentatlOn of1981 census, except the format of PC A was restructured. Nme-fold mdustrIal classificatIon of main workers was gIven against the four-fold mdustrlal classificatIon presented m the 1981 census.
