This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt./Union Territory administration. It illter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic demographic and socio-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 the planners. administrators. a~demicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-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, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third part, Part C of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be pyblished in many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of r!!levant 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 dil.tricl after the 1981 Census. While ~art-A comprised Village and Town Directories, the Pf=A of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsiVtown level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, 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 chalk 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 fcom this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and anotlier on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Ccn:;us is' by and large the same as followed in 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit or data users. Nine-rold 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 PCA for the first lime with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rates as aU 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 wiU help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. (v) One of the most important innovations is the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional Tahsil!faluk/PS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and PCA data at CD.Block level will help the planners in formulation of micro-level developmental plans, as the CD.Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use Village DirectorylPCA data, eithcr from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records. both thc computer and manual codcs for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the State GovtJUT administration and the Census Organisation. Thc data have been collccted and compiled under the direction of Ms. Sobha Nambisan, Director of Census Operations, Karnataka on behalf of the State GoVl. administration which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and coordination of the publication was initiated by Dr.K.P.IUaman, former Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua, Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of informatiOn/data and for preparation of analytical note depicting the salient features emerging from a micro-level analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri M.KJain, the present Deputy Registrar General (S.S.). This task was carried out by Shri A.K.Singh, Deputy Director who was assisted by S/Shri V.K.Jain and Hariram, Investigators and staff. Technica} guidance in the preparation of the maps was initially provided by Dr.B.K.Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (Map) and later by Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the prescnt Deputy Registrar General (Map). I am thankful to all those who have contributed to this project. New Delhi A.R.Nanda June 11. 1992. Registrdr General, India (vi) PREFACE In the foreword to the 1991 serics of the District Census Handbooks, Sri A.R.Nanda, LA.S., the Rcgi"trar General and Census Commissioner, India, has traced the history of the District Census Handbooks. Hc has also succinctly explained the scope and coverage of the District Census Handbooks. These volumes contain the salient data on the population for every village and town as revealed by the 1991 Census. They also contain a weallh of information regarding these villages and towns which, although not part of the population census, throw some light on the circumstances in which people live and is therefore relevant to the data on the population. This information has also considerable importance in the context of planned development. The District Census Handbook is therefore divided into two part,,: Part A containing information regarding each village and town (Village Directory and Town Directory) which is not census data and part B which contains the data on the popUlation collected during the 1991 Census • the Primary Census Abstract. The data published in Part B was collected in February 1991 at the time of the population census. This data was then manually tabulated in the Regional Tabulation Offiees set up for the purpose. Subsequently, as a part of the countrywide project taken up in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre, the Primary Census Abstract data was computerised. 'nte data for Part B of the District Census Handbook was therefore available on tape for the entire country by November 1992. The State Informatics Officer of the National Informatics Centre at Bangalore supplied the print-outs of the Primary Census Abstract data which helped us to bring out the Part B portion of the District Census Handbook of each district fairly quickly.
