(Iv) PREFACE In the publication of the District Census Handbooks we have th~ privilege of taking one of the important census traditions to the 1971 Census. Their publication was first taken up at the 1951 Census. for making census statistics available for the smaller territorial units. In the 1961 Census. attempts were made to make this publication more informative with the addition of data about level of development and amenities available in villages. There was, however. great delay in the publication of this valuable reference compendium. The delay occured on account of the fact that the compilation of the Handbook had to wait ti11 the complete tabulation programme of census data was got through. The c('mpilation· of administrative statistics for inclusion in the Handbook H Iso took a long time. As a resu1t~ the town and village-wise primary census data could not be released pending their formal pubHcation even though there was con~tant demand for it. In view of these considerations, it was decided at the 1971 Census that the Djstrict Census Handbooks would be divided into three convenient parts so that at 1east Parts A and B, which contain essential data down to the village and town level, could be released quickly. Accordingly Parts (A) & (B) of the District Census :H andbook of lullundur ~I re presented in this Hand .. book. Part \A) contains the Vil1age and Town Directory and Part (B) Village and Town .. wise Primary Census Abstract. It is for the first time that data about urban areas is being presented in a separate part, "Town Directory", at the 1971 Census. The Village Directory presents comprehensive information· on various facets of each village. Alphabetical Jist of villuges has also been inserted in the Handbook. 2. There are 108 towns and 12,188 inhabited vHI:l~es in the Punjab State. It waSt indeed, a fornlidablc task to collect and compile volurninous data for such a large nUDlber of units. The collec­ tion of area figures and land use data, in particular, presented &erious difficulties especially when these figures somewhat differed from those given at the tah~jl and district level by the Director of Land Records. We had to make several gruelling cro~s-checks to adopt the area figures finally for each village. 3. It was not considered necessary to have a penetrating a nalysis of any particular item of the data in Parts (1-\) and (B) of this Handbook, this could be taken up by the Census Organisation itself or by some other agency later during the inter-censaJ-perjod. The census da1a u~ers and scholars would perhaps fed satisfied \vith statistical data being presented in this Handbook quickly on the heels of the census count in the country. 4. This Report., as at the last Census, continues to be a State Government publication as it is financed by them. Its cornpilation and write-up have be~n done by the Census Directorate at Chandigarh on behalf of (he State Government. The views expressed in this are that of the State Census Organisation, which i'> under the direct control of the Governtnent of India in the Ministry of Home Affairs. 5. In the collection of data, we had to take help from Jarge nUJnber of personnel of the State' Revenue Department at the village, tahsil and district level and of the municipal staff in towns But for their generous cooperation in filling up of the lengthy schedules regarding availability of amenities and level of development it would not have been possible to achieve the desired objectives in time. It is certainJy difficult to thank separately each individual functionary engaged in this project. Neverthe.. , less we are keen to convey our profound gratitude to all those who have workrd directly or indirectly on this project. At the Census 'Directorate, Shri S. K. Agarwal, Assistant Director Census Operations,.. assisted by Sbri R. L. Kalsia, Tabulation Officer ani Shri N'. S. Bhadd.uria, Statistical Assistant.. (v) bas compiled the census and administrative -statistics in the form of Village and Town Directories and a bunch of statements incorporatinl primary census data.
