(v) One of the most important innovations is the [991 Census is the Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the Village Directory and PCA in!ltead of the traditional Tahsilrraluk/PS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and PCA data at CD.Block level will help the planners in formulation of micro-level developmental plans, as thc CD.Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and rc~earchers intending to usc Village Directory/PCA data, either from the magnetic tapeslfloppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the Statc Govt./UT administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the din.:ction of Ms. Sobha Nambisan, Director of Census Operations, Karnataka on behalf of the State Govt. administration which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and coordination of the publication was initiated hv Dr.K.P.lLtaman, ~ , former Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua, Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of information/data and for preparation of analytical note depicting the salient features emerging from a micro-level analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Censu~ Handhook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly 5crutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri M.KJain, the present Deputy Registrar General (S.S.). This task was carried out by Shri A.K.Singh, Deputy Director who was assisted by S/Shri V.KJain and Hariram, Investigators and staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of the maps was initially provided by Dr.B.K.Roy, former Dc.:puty Registrar General (Map) and later by Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the present Deputy Regii>lrar General (Map). I am thankful to all thoM; who have contributed to this project. New Iklhl A.R.Nanda June 11, 1992. Registrar General. India (vi) PREFACE In the foreword to the 1991 sene:; of the Di~trict Censu:; Handbook:;, Sri A.R.Nanda, l.A.S., the Rcgi~trar General and Census Commis!'>ioner, India, has tra{'ed the history of the District Census Handbooks.
