VILLAGE & TOWN DIRECTORY 4- VILLAGE AND TOWNWISE PRIMARY CENSUS ABSTRACT, . ~~it~ i.Ai~'d&sf1i~ ~ PEOPLE ORIENTED P .G. Tenzing of the Indian Administrative Service Director of Census Operations, Nagaland An "Ahng" The motif represents a Konyak Naga Chief" Ahng" in traditional I dress used generally on ceremonial occasions like" Aoling Moh". One of the most spectacular features of their dress as seen in the motif is colourful head gear "suosuok". It is made of colourful cane "Yantak" and orchid bark "Nyen" which gives a red and yellow stripe. The black hair "yiang kongmei nyei" used on the headgear and the ear ring is from a animal very rare in Nagaland. Three wild boar tusks are fixed on the front of the headgear which signifies bravery. The three short necklaces are of very precious beads and stones "yuknyu". But the most interesting among the necklaces are the one with a number of symbolic human heads in a row "yanshuo", the number of heads being determined in war. The one seen here has five brass heads in a row with two tiger teeth" Sah bha" hanging from each side. Both the ears are covered with a circular plate of cowries "Naseak".

The publication, which is brought for each district, contains several demographic and socio-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 t'o 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.
