This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt./Union Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on sorpe 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, academic,ians and researchers. Th~ scope of the DCH wa~ initially confined to certain important census tables on population. economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village -and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the distric:t, administrati ve statistics, census tables and Villalle, and Town Direc:tdrie~ including PCA_ After the 1971 Census, two _parts of the Distric! Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B compristng Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third Part ( C) of the District Census HandbQoks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, cou~d. not be published in many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material.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 DGHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directorie~" the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe peA upto tahsil/town 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 referrent 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 sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum 'Needs Programme. Similarl y, 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 N~ds Programme, a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to 'enable the folanners to chalk out the programmes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this statement details on 'Civic and other ~menities were reported for the slums of Class I and ciass II towns.
