VILLAGES Although there is no official definition of a village, the Census Office retained the status of village for all settlements officially designated as such. The Tribal Administration, District Administration and the District Council have the joint responsibility of designating a settlement as a village. However a village is usually identified by the presence of some administrative or social facilities such as the presence of a tribal administration office and availability of facilities such as schools, clinics or health centres, water reticulation etc 3.
