Scheduled castes primary census abstract (Tahsil and Townwise) 354 (vii) FOREWORD The District Census Handbook (DCH), compiled by the census organisation on behalf of the State GOVern­ ments, is one of the most valuable products of the census. The DCH is constantly referred to by pla{lners, adminis­ trators, academicial).s and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formdlation ·of local level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook is the only publication Which provide& Primary Census Abstract (peA) data uptCl village level for the rural areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and am~nities in villages and towns, etc. The district census handbook series was initiatd during the 1951 census. It contained important census table:; and PCA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 census the scope- of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a descriptiv(7 account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory including peA.. The 1971 DCa serie3 was plannej in thrae parts. Part-A relatej to village and town directory, Part-R to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statitics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data'in respect of villages. However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few censes altogether given up due to delay in compilation and print- ~g. ' While designing the format of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the- 1971 data has also been kept 10 view. All the amenities except power supply in the villages have been brought together in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern IS expected to further meet the need of micro level planning for rural anas. It is expected to help not only 1n local area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well as to minimise the regional imbalan­ ces in the proces~ of development. A few new items, of information have also been introduced to meet some of the re­ quirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, prim­ ary health sub-centres, and community health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objective in mind. The new item on approac,b. to the village is to have an idea about the villages in the district which are inacessible. A new column, "total popUlation and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendic~s listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes population to the total population has also been made with this view in mind. The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amemties in slums in Class-I and Class-II towns (Statement IV-A) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes populatIOn in statement IV relating to civic and other ameni­ ties and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in statement V are also added Inter alia with this view.
