This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisat.ion on behalf of each State Govt ./Union Territory administration. It 1l7ter-a tia provides data I information on some of the basic demographic and socia-economic characteristics and on the availability of _certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to t he planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH w~s initial! y confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socia-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrati ve statistics, census t.ables and ViII age and Town Directories inc;luding PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comrisirig ViUage and Town Directories and Pa 1't-B comprising Village and Town peA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. 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Handbooks .comprising administrative statistics and· district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be pUblished in, many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981, some new features alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part-A somprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns. (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes peA upto tehsill town level were provided in Part­ B. To il1ustrate. all the amenities. except electricity, were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referrent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenit y was gi ven. Information on some new items suer! as aduLt literacy centtes, 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 on approach to the village was also provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of Town Directories also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme. a statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to c hal k 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-I and Class-II towns. Apart from this, one column an the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes I centres were added in Statements I V and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the OCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed in 1981. However, the format of PCA has been rest!:"uctured slightly in the 1991 Census fOl' the benefit- of data users. Nin~-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given as against four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise population in the 0-6 age-group has also been included in peA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute mare realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective develo pmental programmes. vii) One of the most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the ,village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional TahsiliTaluk/PS level presenta­ tion.
