This is the most valuable di~tJict level puhlication brought out by the Censlls Organisation 011 behalf of each State Govt. / Union Tenitory admil1istratioll. It inter-alia provides data / infonnatio11 on some ofthe basic demographic and socio-economic charactellstics and on availability of celtain important civic amenities / fhcilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has tllUs proved to be ofiJmnense utility to the planners, admiuistrators, academician and researchers. l11e scope ofthe DCH was initially confined to celtain impOltallt censns tables on population, eCOllOmic and socio-cultural aspects as also the plimary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the distlict. TIle DCBs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive accOllllt ofthe TmV11 Direct01ies including PCA. After the 1971 Censlls. two Palts ofthe Distl1ct Cel)SllS Handbooks (palt-A complising Village and TO\vn Direct01ies and Pmt-B c0l11prisingYi11age and Town, (PCA) were released in all the States and Union TenitOlies. Tl'~ third Part (c) of the District Census tables, which was also to he brought ouL could not be published in many StatesiUTs due to considerable delay in compilation ofrelevallt matelial. In 1981, some new features along-with the re~tl1lctU1ing onhe formats ofvillage and Tawil Direct01Y were introduced in the DCHs. TIlese were published in two patts for each vlllage atld Tawil DirectOJies, the PCA o[village and towns (ward­ wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled TIibe peA upto Tehsill town' level were provided in Patt-B. To illustrate, a II tile amenities except electllcity, were brought together in the Yil1age Directory and if an amenity was not available in the refenent village, the distance in broad ranges i1-om 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 ofthe requirements oftile Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, inf01mation on approach to the villitge was also provided for the first time dUling 1981 census in the Y111age Directory so as to give an idea about the number ofill accessible villages in each dis.tJict. In case ofToWl1 DirectOJY also, keeping ill viewtbe requirements ofthe Minimum Needs programme, a Statement IV -A 011 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 tbis statement details on civic and other amenities were rep01ted for the slums of Class I and Class II towns. Apatt f,.om this, one column 011 the Scheduled Ca~1es and Scheduled Tlibes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and Y respectively The manner of presentation of the DCBs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed in 1981. However, the format ofPC A has beell restructured slightly in the 199 I Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industlial classification ofmain workers has been given as against four-fold industlial classification presented in the 1981 Censlls, 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 more realistic literacy rate as all IX children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterates at the time ofthe 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modificationswill help the plannersin chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One ofthe most impOltant innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-level presentation ofdata in the village directOlY and PCA data at CD. Block level will help the planners in fOlIDulation ofmicro-level developmental plans., as the co. Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning. In order 1m 0) facilitate the task ofadministrators, planners an d researchers intending to use Village DirectOlY I PCA data, either fi-om the magnet tapes/floppies or fi'om thepublihed records, both the computer and mannual codes for each v1Uage have been provided for the 1991 Census along-with the cOlTesponding codes of 1981.
