PREFACE The District Census Handbooks were published for the first time in 1951 a~ part of the Census publication programme. Each Handbook contained a general account of the district and its people, census tables and statistics on the area, houses, population, general' amenities and distribution of population by livelihood classes for each village and town. The 1961 District Census Handbooks were a distinct improvement on the 1951 volumes. A uniform procedure ·was adopted for the preparation of the Hand books. Each Handbook con tained three parts as detailed below: Part A. General, de~ling with a general introduction about the district, its progress, on various fields of general amenities since 1951 and an analysis of population by various demographic characteristics. Part B. Census data, dealing with 'the census tables of 1961 pertaining to the dist~ict. Part C. Village/Town Directory, dealing with the amenities, Primary Census Abstrac down to the level of karas/muris/desoms in the case ofrural areas and. blocks. and wards in the case of urban areas and number of industrial establishments by type. District and taluk maps were also incorporated in each District Census Handbook. In 1971 also it has been decided to adopt more or less the same pattern and publish the District Census Handbooks in three parts as given below: Part A . .. 'rown and Village Directory ParI B. Village and Town Primary Census Abstract Pm! C. Administrative Statistics and Report. It is proposed to print and publish Parts A & B relating to a District in a single volume with a view to making it available to the public as soon as the information is collected and compiled. Part C will be printed as a separate volume. The collection and compilation of data for Part A were done by the office of the Director of Census Operations, Kerala through specially designed schedules for villages and towns. The information on rural areas was furnished by the Tahsildars and on the urban areas by the concerned Municipal/Corporation Commissioners. While Part B of the Handbook presents the Village and Town Primary Census Abstract, Part C gives the Report and Administrative Statistics processed from information collected from the various Central and State Government Offices. A special feature of the publication orthe Handbook in 1971 is the presentation of Primary Census Abstract not only for villages but also for the panchayats. This is the first time that an attempt has been made to present panchayat-wise figures. The additional work involved in the new venture is more than justified in view of the growing importance of panchayats in administration. On the recommendation of Registrar General, India, the Government of Kerala have agreed to bring out thesc volumes as State Government publications and issued orders in G. O. MS. No. 199j70(PD dated 17th June 1970. The printing of the Handbooks was undertaken by the Superintendent of Government Presses, Trivandrum. II It is not possible to have compiled a book of this kind without the co-operation and good will extended by the various State and Central Government Offices. I am grateful to them for their co-operation. The District Census Handbook section of my office functioned under the direct control of Shri B. T. Pill ai, Deputy Director of Census Operations. (Tabulation) and he was assisted by a Tabulation Officer and necessary staff. Shri S. Jayashanker was the Tabulation Officer in charge of the section at the time of addressing the various departments for collection of information. At the time of compilation of the District Census Handbook Smt. C. Kamalam took charge as the Tabulation Officer. I feel very happy in acknowledging the valuable contributions made by these· officers and other members of the staff in my office, especially Smt. K. Sulabhamma, Statistical Assistant and Shri Chandra Choodan and Shri G. Sivadasan, Assistant Compilers in the compilation of this important work. Sarvashri K. Krishna Pillai and R. Prabhakaran have prepared the maps included in this volume. The brunt of the poof reading was cheerfully borne by ShTi N. Ravindranathan Thampi, Printing Inspector and Sarvashri N. Aravindan and N. Madhavan, Proof Readers. I would like to place on record my deep sense of gratitude to Shri P. Kurien John, Superin­ tendent of Government Presses for the warm leo-operation extended· by him for the timely printing of the Handbook. I shall be failing in my duty if I do not place on record my gratefulness to Shri A. Chandra Sekhar, I.A.S. , Registrar General for the valuable guidance and help extended to me in this work.
