The information presented in this publication has been categorised in the following main tables. A-I Area, houses and population A-2 : Decadal variation in population since 1901 A-3 : Villages classified by population size A-4 : Towns and urban agglomerations classified by popUlation III 1981 with variation since 1901 A-5 Standard Urban Areas. The general note briefly describes how the census was conducted. The mam. tables are preceded by fly leaves which highlight their salient features pertaining mainly to growth and distribution of population, sex ratio, density, rural-urban break up of population and the like. It may be mentioned here that the task of finalising and printing the present volume has fallen on me, since Shri A. H. Khan, lAS, Director of Census Operations, Jammu & Kashmir, under whose able stewardship the 1981 population census operations were carried out, retired from Government service by the time the volume could be taken up for compilation. Evidently, the credit for the success of the operations and manual data processing goes to him and failings, if any, are necessarily mine. We are grateful to Shri P. Padmanabha, lAS, Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India and other senior officers in the Census & Tabulation Division of his office for the detailed instructions, guidance and support extended by them in the course of both field operations as well as the tabulations of the census data. Shri B. L. Tiku, Investigator had to exert a great deal in compiling and drafting this report for which he deserves our special thanks. Other officials who deserve mention having been associated with the preparation of main tables, appendices and inset tables are SjShri Mohd. Yousuf and Mohd. Amin, Tabulation Officers, V. K. Chehra, Computor M.L. Jotshi and Phoola Kachru, Assistant Compilers. It is hoped that this volume would be found useful by data users, planners and the public. A. GANI SRINAGAR, Joint Director oj Census Operations 16th of September.
