ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS At the 1971 Census it has been our endeavour to compile both Census and non-Census statistics at the village and block level in a uniform manner. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the District Census Handbook has been divided into three parts. This is the first part of the series, the Village and Town Directory, which mostly comprises NOll-census data. We are deeply indebted to the State Government for their ever willing and prompt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their b~half. I wish to express my gratitude to Sri M. Lal, Chief Secretary to U. P. Government, for all the guidance and facilities afforded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to Sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G. A. D. (Now Commissioner, Rohilkhand Division, Bareilly)­ and his successor, Sri A. P. Dixit, for the facilities given by them in sorting out various administrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks. I am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole hearted co-operation in furnishing t~e desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard work and su)tained efforts in collecting the same. The programme for the printing of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published, one in Hindi and two in English. The arrangements, made by Sri A. Dar, Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U. P., Allahabad for the printing of these volumes, are thankfully acknowledged. Joint Superintendent, Sri J. S. Gupta, llc New Government Press, Aishbagh, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for this stupendous task of compilation and collation of statistics, preparation of notes and reading of proofs. I am grateful to Sri K. S. Sinha, Deputy Director, Headquarters, the Tabulation Officer, and other staff of the Technical Section, who have shared the burden and helped in bringing out these Handbooks. I must also express my gratitude to Sri A. Chandra Sekhar, Registrar General, India, Sri K. D. Ballal, and Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrars General and Sri K. K. Chakravorty, Central Tabulation Officer for their constant help and guidance despite their own heavy preoccupations. Lucknow D. M. SINHA Dated : October 3, 1972.

GENE~"'L OF INDIA © GOVERNMENT OF INDI" CO!>VRIGHT 1~73 INTRODUCTORY NOTE 1. History of District Census Handbook. It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population of villages in each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901, Village Directories were rrepared for all districts in 1911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the out break of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the ~(Hl Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics, was recognised and these were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 19) 1 Census, and was publi­ shed alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, att­ empts were made to render the Di,trict Census Handbook more informative, as in addition to Census data pertaining to eal'h village, data. about its level of development and arneni- . ~s were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Cen­ ~ and non-Census statistics at village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics available for the smaller _1'ltorial1tnits, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration. demar­ ,(tion of electoral c1lllstituencies, planning and development and so on. To ensure that tw.. ~e statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been led for being published separately into three parts: Part A : Town and Village Directory Part B : Village and Town-wise Primary Census Abstract Part C : Analytical Report and Administrative Statements-District Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Census Handbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory. In Village Dire­ ctory, particulars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, Drinking water supply, Post ~nd Telegraph and Communications have been given. Besides, it con­ tains land-\lsl'! statistics, days of weekly markets and places of religi0us, historical or archa­ eological interest in each village. The Town Directory comprising ~even statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of population, functional cate­ gory, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civir. and other amenities, Medi­ cal and Educa,tional facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of a town by religion and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes.
