This is the most valuable di~trict level publication brought out hy the Cen~us Organisation on behalf of each State GoVl./Union Territory administration. It inter-alia pr,wides data/information on some of the basic. demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tahles on population, economic and socio-cultural aspects as al.<.o the Primary Census Ab,<,tract (PCA) of caeh village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs publi~hed after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the Di~trict Census Handhooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the State.'> and U~ion Territories. The third part, Part C of the Di~trict Census Handhooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be published in many StatesfUTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981, some neW features alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for eaeh district after the 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, tlie PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsil!tnwn level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health <;ub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of Town Directories also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Neeus Programme, a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk ~)Ut the programmes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this Statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and Class II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on aduh literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed In 1981. However, the format of PCA ha~ hcen restructured slightly in the 11)91 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given as against four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise population in the 0-6 age-group has also been incluued in PCA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rates as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioneu mouifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-Ievcl presentation of data in the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional TahsilrraluklPS 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 the CD.Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use Village Directory/PCA data, either from the magnetic tapesJf10ppies 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 State Govt./UT administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction 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 by Dr.K.P.lttaman, 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 Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri M.K.Jain, 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 Deputy Registrar General (Map) and later by Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the present Deputy Registrar General (Map). I am thankful to all those who have contributed to this project. New Deihl A.R.Nanda June ll, 1992. Registrotr General, India (vi) PREFACE In the foreword to the 19'}1 series of the District Census Handbooks, Sri A.R.Nanda, I.A.S., the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, has traced the history of the District Census Handbooks. He has also succinctly explained the scope and coverage of the District Census Handbooks. These volumes contain the salient data on the population for evcry village and town as revealed by the 1991 Census. They also contain a wealth of information regarding these villages and towns which, although not part of the population census, throw some light on the circumstances in which people live and is therefore relevant to the data on the population. This information has also .considerable importance in the context of planned development. The District Census Handbook is therefore divided into two parts: Part A containing information regarding each village and town (Village Directory and Town Directory) which is not census data and part B which contains the data on the population collected during the 1991 Census - the Primary Census Abstract. The data published in Part B was collected in February 1991 at the time of the popUlation census. This data was then manually tabulated in the Regional Tabulation Offices set up for the.purpose. Subsequently, as a part of the countrywide project taken up in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre, the Primary Census Abstract data was computerised.
