The District Census Handbooks were first published in the 1951 Census. In the District Census Handbook of the 1961 Census it was originally envisaged t,o include detailed administrative statistios, Census Tables and Village Dire­ ctory, along with certain maps. Due to circumstances beyond the control of this organisa­ tion, the District Census Handbooks of Bangalore, Dharwar and Mysore Districts were delayed. In order to ensure that the basic demographic data is available, it was decided to publish the handbooks of these three districts in a slightly modified form. Accordingly the handbooks of these three districts contain only Table SCT-I (Part A and Part B) relating to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and the Village Directory. The latter furnishes information talukwise of the villages with population details. These handbooks ~ have been compiled by the Census Organisation under the general instructions of the Registrar General and are printed and published by the State Government. BANGALORE P.
