Medical and other amenities given in Village Directory 152-153 ACKNOWLEDGElVIENTS At the 1971 Cens.us it has been our endeavour to compile both Census and non-Census statistics at the Village and Block level in a uniform manner. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users as sqon as these are sift­ ed and compiled, the District Census Handbook has been divided into three parts. This is the first part of the series, the Village and Town Directory, which mostly comprises Non-Census data. We are deeply indebted to, the State Government for their ever willing and prompt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf. I wish to express my gratitude to Sri M. LaI, Chief Secretary t6 U. P. Government, for all the guidance and facilities affor­ ded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to Sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G.A.D. (Now Commissioner, Rohilkhand Division, Bareilly) and his successor, Sri A.P. Dixit, for the facilities given by them in sorting out various administrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks. I am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole hearted co-opera­ tion in furnishing the desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard work and sustained efforts in collecting the same. The programme for the printing of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published, one in Hindi and two in English. The arrangements made by Sri A. Dar, Superintendent, Prin­ ting and Stationery, U. P., Allahabad for the. printing of these volumes, are thankfully acknowledged. Joint Superintendent, Sri J. S. Gupta, lie New Government Press, Aishba~h, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for this stupendous task of compilation and collation of statistics preparation of notes and reading of proofs. 1 am grateful to Shri K. S. Sinha, Deputy Director, Headquarters, the Tabulation Officer, and other staff of the Technical Section, who have shared the burden and" helped in bringing out these Handbooks. I must also express my gratitude to Sri A. Chandrasekhar, Registrar General, India, Sri K. D. Ballal and Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrars General and Sri K. K. Chakravorty, Central Tabulation Officer for their constant help and guidance despite their own heavy preoccupations. D. M.SINHA Lucknow Director of Census Operations Dated: October 3, 1972. Uttar Pradesh. INTRODUCTORY NOTE 1. History of District Census Handbook It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population of villages in each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1,911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the out break of th e First World War. At the 19'21 Census, these were published for all districts in the fonn of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise ~tatistics wel'e compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, rest~cted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics was recog:nized and these were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was publi­ shed a10ngwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 C~nsus; att­ empts were made to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in addition to Cemus data pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and amen!­ ties were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Cen­ sus and Non-census statistics at village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope, As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics ava.ilaple for the smaller territorial units, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demar­ cation of electoral constituencies, planning and development and so on. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been divided for being pu blished separately into three parts: Part A : Town and Village Directory Part B: Village and Town-wise-Primary Census Abstract Part C: Analytical Report and Administrative Statements-District Census Tables:. 2. Scope of District Census Handbook Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory. In Village Directory, particulars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, drinking water supply, Post and Telegraph and Communications have been given_ Besides, it con­ tains land-use statistics, days 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 populatio n, functional category, loca­ tion and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Ba'nkln~. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of a town by reljg~on 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 occupied residential houses and hQuseholds, total population and its break-up by sex, INTRODUCTORY NOTE 1.
