CENSUS OF INDIA 2001 SERIES 14 MANIPUR PROVISIONAL POPULATION TOTALS Paper 2 of 2001 RURAL-URBAN DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION Directorate of Census Operations, Manipur PREFACE This publication is the second in the series of publications to be brought out in connection with the results arising out of the population enumeration of the Census Of India 2001. The provisional total population, sex ratio, population in the age-group 0- 6 years and number of literates by males and females inrespect of the 9 districtsin Manipur have already been published in Provisional Population Totals, Paper 1 of 2001. The figures relating to the above information down to rural and urban areas of every sub-division within each district is now provided in this present publication. Besides giving data for each urban area according to the various size-classes of the towns, the publication also provides data on the comparative growth of the urban areas over the past few decades. The various concepts and definitions adopted in the Census of India, 2001 are also furnished along with the information relating to the changes in the component units of the Urban Agglomeration during 1991-2001. It is hoped that the data provided in this publication will be helpful to the Government and non-Government organis~tions in planning and research. The publication of this Paper is the result of the sustained support and guidance of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India, Sri J.K.Bantia, to whom I am expressing my deep sense of gratitude. I would also like to express my thanks to Sri RG.Mitra, Dy. Registrar General (C&T) for the help and guidelenes extended to me and my staff at the various stages in the preparation of this publication.

Jugindro Singh Proof Reader GENERAL NOTE GENERAL NOTE As in the past censuses, the data generated from the 2001 Census will be presented for rural and urban areas seperately. Except for some minor variations, the concepts and definitions used for a place to be termed as rural or urban remain almost the same in all the censuses. The concepts used in 2001 Census are given below: Rural: Rural areas mean all such areas which are not treated as urban. Usually villages constitute the rural areas. Villages are the smallest and the basic unit of administration and cover the entire revenue limits of the villages whether inhabited or uninhabited. Even where the revenue boundaries of the villages are not fixed or settled all the settlement areas whether temporary or permanent not forming part of any urban area are taken as rural. Where any specific area is excluded from the jurisdiction of a city/town, or where only some parts of a village have been included within the limits of a city/town, such excluded area or the remaining parts of such villages are also taken as rural. Urban: The definition of an urban unit at the 2001 Census is as follows: a) All places with a municipality, corporation, cantonment board or notified town area committee, etc. b) All other places which satisfied the following criteria : i) A minimum population of 5,000 ; ii) At least 75 percent of the male working population engaged in non­ agricultural pursuits; and iii) A density of population of at least 400 per sq. km. (1,000 per sq. mile). The same definition was adopted at the 1991 Census also. This will ensure comparability with previous censuses and provide the basis for analysis of urbanisation trends in the country. On the basis of the above criteria two distinct types of urban area emerge. The first type is a group of towns notified by the State Government under special Acts and is known as statutory towns. The second type is based on the fulfillment of the demographic criteria stated in (b) above and is known as Census Towns. While applying the test of occupation of the male working population male main workers engaged in the agricultural activities, namely, Cultivators, Agricultural Labourers and Livestock, Forestry, Fishing and Plantations, Orchards, etc. are excluded for computing the percentage of workers engaged in non-agricultural occupation. 3 All places which have been notified under law and have local bodies like municipal corporations, municipalities, municipal committees, municipal boards, municipal town committees, contonment boards, notified areas, notified area committees, Nagar Panchayats, town committees, town areas, town boards, town municipalities, sanitary boards, etc., irrespective of their demographic characteristics are included in the list of towns. Urban Agglomeration: The concept of urban agglomerations adopted forthe 1981 and 1991 Censuses will continue for the 2001 Census also. According to this, an urban agglomeration is a continuous urban spread constituting a town and its adjoining urban outgrowths (OGs) or two or more physically contiguous towns together and any adjoining urban outgrowths of such towns. In some cases railway colonies, university campuses, port areas, military camps, etc. would have come up near a city or statutory town outside its statutory limits but within the revenue limits of a village or villages contiguous to the town. Each such individual area by itself may not satisfy the minimum population limit to quality it to be treated as an independent urban unit but may deserve to be clubbed with the towns as a continuous urban spread. The following are the possible different situation in which urban agglomera- tions would be constituted: i) a city or town with one or more contiguous outgrowths; ii) two or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths; and iii) a city and one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths all of which form a continuous spread. For maintaining comparability with the 1991 Census data, it would be desirable to ensure that a place included in an urban agglomeration of 1991 is not taken out of the agglomeration now. While the total area of an urban agglomeration is treated as one continuous urban spread for the purpose of overall size classification and analysis of the urban data, in reckoning the total number of towns (as distinguished from agglomerations) all individual urban areas that are reckoned as towns in their own right are treated as separate towns.
