The census was conducted under the supervision of Shri H. Ranbir Singh, Director of Census Operations, Manipur. He was recalled by the State government before the tabulations were gone through. He continued to take interest in census work in his capacity as ex-officio Director of Census Operations, Manipur, until I took charge of the office in February 1976. Thus a1though this volume is going to press at a time when I happen to hold charge of the office, the entire credit goes to Shd Ranbir Singh for the successful completion of the work. For each of the A-series tables and the State· primary census abstract (PCA) presented in this volume, there is an explanatory note which will serve as an aid to the table. The concepts and definitions and the salient features of the tables have been discussed in the introduction. A few charts have been included in this pUblication to facilitate study. The compilation of this volume is the result of co-ordinated efforts of the tabulation unit of this directorate under the supervision of Shri N. Jogendra Singh, Assistant Director. He was ably assisted by M. Tejkishore Singh, Senior Investigator and Shri S. Birendra Singh, Tabulation Officer. Shri M. Tejkishore Singh prepared the first draft. We are grateful to Shri R. ·B. Chari, Registrar General of India, Shri Badri Nath, Deputy Regis­ trar General, and Shri K.K. Chakravorty, Asstt. Registrar General, for their help, guidance and encouragement in our work. Imphaf, A.

Change in number of towns In 1961 Imphal municipality was the only town in Manipur. There has been no change in the area of this town. This town has been upgraded to the status of a city in 1971 as the criterion for treating a town as city i.e. "a town which has a population of one lakh and over should be treated as a city" has been fulfilled. In the 1971 census seven more towns have been added. Seven sub-divisional marketing centres have been declar­ ed as small towns.
