The publication, which is brought for each district, contains several demographic and socia-economic characteristics village­ wise and ton-wise of the district alongwith the status of availability of civic amenities, infrastructural facilities, etc. 2. The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of ach village and town within the district. Thereafter. at successive censuses, its scope and coverage has been enlarged. The DCHB published at the 1961 census provided a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory including PCA. The 1971 census­ DCHB series was in three parts: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. The 1981 census DCHB was in two parts: Part­ A contained village and town directory and Part-B the PCA of village and town and town including the SCs and STs PCA up to tahsil/town levels. New features alongwith restructuring of the formats of village and town directory were added into it. In village directory, ali amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent village, the distan~e in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. Information on new items such as adult literacy cen,tres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet the requirements of some of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme.
