CENSUS 1911 CENSUS HANDBOOK MIZORAM Part A VILLAGE & TOWN DIRECTORY 'art a VILLAGE II' URBAN BLOCKWISE PRIMARY CENSUS ABSTRACT GENERAL POPULATION. ECONOMIC AND 'SOCIAL & CULTURAL TABLES A. K. SAIKIA of the Indian Administrative Service DIRECTOR OF CENSUS OPERATIONS ASSAM PRINTED AT THE NELYS PRINTING (PVT.) LTD. CALCUTTA·700001 AND PUBLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MIZORAM. PREFACE !VI.lzoram was a district of Assam on April 1, 1971 with reference to which the 1971 ; Census was taken. With effect from January 21, 1972, however, it became a Union Territory , \ by virt~e of the North Eastern Area (Reorganisation) Act 1971 (Act No. 81 of 1971). For the ,purpose, of. presenting statistics, Mizoram, has been treated as a part of Assam in all census pubIiCa'tjons. As regards district cen~us handbooks, these are state government publications, although the compilations are done by the census organisation. Normally government of ~ssam should have published the handbook on Mizoram as it constituted a district of the state at the time of the census. In view of the'fact that Mizoram had meanwhile become a saparate Union Territory, the new government took. over the responsibility of publishing the handbook separately from the Assam series of District Census Handbooks. The District Census Handbook is presented in three parts for each district. Part A contains the Village and Town Directory. Part B deals with Primary Census Abstract which includes data down to the village level in the rural areas and to the block level in the urban areas. Part C incorporates the census tables, administrative statistics and an analytical report. With a view to making the data available to the public as soon as they are collected and compiled, Parts A and B are presented in one volume. Part C, the compila­ tion of which will take some more time will be printed as a separate volume. The present publication, however, unlike other District Census Handbooks of the districts of Assam contains some census tables meant for Part C. The title of this publication has also been slightly changed from District Census Handbook' of Mizo district to Census Handbook, Mizoram. All these changes have been effected at the instance of the Mizoram government. The District Census Handbooks were first introduced in the 1951 Census. Prior to 1951, village statistics for each district used to be printed after the census giving the population for each village and showing the distribution of communities and of literate persons. The 1951 Handbooks contained a general account of the district and its people, data on areas, houses, population, small-scale industries, distribution of population by livelihood classes for each village and town 'of the district and some census tables. In 1961 these volumes were improved by extending the coverage and incorporating administrative statistics for each district. The 1971 District Census Handbooks follow more or less the same pattern as in 1961. The handbook is published by the government of Mizoram. The compilation was, however, done by the census organisation.
