To ensure that ~h~se statistics are available to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the Di~trict Census Handbook has been divided into three parts. This is the first part of the series, the Village and Town Directory. which mostly comprises !ion-census data. We are deeplr indebted to the State Government for their ever wil1ing and prompt help' to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE 1. History of District CeDsus HaDclbook. It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population of villages in e!1ch distriot was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, -how.ver, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911" but could be published only for thirteen due to the out break of the First W o rid War. 'At the 1 921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistic~. In 1 931 village wise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in Joss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabtdation was undertaken in the wake of the - Second World War, but the utility of Ce~sus stat~stics was recognised ~nd these were published. The .District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was publi­ shed alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, att­ empts were made to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in addition to Census' data pertail}ing to each village, data about its level of development and ameni­ ties were also coIl~cte~. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Census and Non-census statistics Cli. village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics available for the smaller territorial unit$, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demar­ cation of elect6ral cOllstituencies, planning the ,development and so on. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been divided for being published separately into three parts ~ Part A : Tbwn and Village Directory Part B ; Village and Town-wise Primary CensuS Abstract t • Part C : Analytical Report and Administrative Statements-District Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Cellsus Halldbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory. In village Direc­ tory, particulars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply1 drinking water supply, Post and telegraph and Communications have been given. Besides, it c~n­ tains land-use statistics, da)'s of weekly markets and places of religious, historical or archa­ eological interest in each village. The Town Directory comprising seven statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of population, functional category, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of the town by religion and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. Part B represents data down to village level for' rural area -and block level for towns. It contains the Primary Census Abstract which incorporates figures of area, number of ilccup~e~ felli4en~~~1 qQus~ ~Ild housebgld~, total population ~nq its breU-QP' by 1I~4 scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate population, working population by nine­ broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged 'in forestry and livestock etc., in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construc­ tion, in trade and commerce, in transport and communications and in other services as well 8S the non-working population. , Part C deals with the ~dministrative statistics pertaining to the district in all field of development. The Census tables pertaining to language, religion, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A wr;te up indicating changes in socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is also being included in it. 3. Town Directory given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns of the district. There is no uniforml y accepted definition of a town. The historical, poli­ tical, cultural and administrative considerations are generally taken as criteria for rural­ urban classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large majority of inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activities. In addition to its size, population and occupational characteristics, an urban area pro­ vides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical services, com­ munity facilities and other civic services.
