Lucknow Dated: October 3, 1972. D. M. SINHA Director ~r Census Operations Uttar Pradesh. Introductory Note 1. History of District. Census E:andhook . It has been customary to bring cnt Vital statistiCS at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population of villages III each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 190 I. Village Directorie:; were prepared for all districts in 1911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the outbreak of the First World War. At the 1921 Censua, theae were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics was recognised and these were published. The Distric t Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was published along­ with another volume titled District PopUlation Statistics. In 1961 Census, attempts were made to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in addition to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and amenities were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Census and non­ Census statistics at village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics available 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 published separately into three parts: Part A: Town and Village Directory Part 13: Village ahd Town-wise Primary Census Abstract Part C j Analytical Report and Administrative Statements -District Census Tabl es. 2. Scope of District Censns Handbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory. In Village Direc­ tory, particulars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, drinking water supply, Post and Telegraph and Communications ha~e 'been given. Besides, it contains land use statistics, day of weekly markets and places of religous, historical or archa­ eological interest in eah village. The Town "Qirectory compri:,ing seven statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of population, functional category, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Eanking. Apart from these, it also gives the distributiOn of popubtion of a toW,l by religion 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 househ0ld, total population and its break-up by sex, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate population, working population by nine broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged in forestry and livestock etc. in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construction, in trade and commerce, in tran'port and co:n'TIunications and in other services as well as the non­ working population. iv ) Part C deals with the administrative statistics pertaining to the district in all field,s of development. The Census tables pertaining to language. religion, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A write up indicating .changes in socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is also being included in it. 3. Town Directory-given in Part A presents data for .all the Census towns of the district There is no uniformly accepted definition of a town. The historical, political, cultural and administrative considerations are generally taken as criterIa for rural urban classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the .rural, comprises a large majority of inhabitants who are engaged in industl-ial and non-agricultural activities. In addition to its size, populatio'n and occupational characteristics, an urban area provides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical services, community facilities and other civic services. According to the State Government, all Municipal Corporations, !\1unicipal Board, Cantonment Board, Notified Areas and Town Areas are considered as towns, and according to their average annual income from their own resources, these have been classified into differeat classes of local bodies. The Criteria adopted under the Censu­ Operations is slightly different from the State Government. In 1971 Census all places satisfying the following conditions have been treated Towns :- 1. All Municipal Corporations Municipal Board, Cantonments & Notified Al'eas. 2. All localities though not in themselves local bodies but forming part of a city or town agglomeration. 3. Other places satisfying all the three under mentioned conditions: (i) Population exceeds 5,000. (ii) At least 75 per cent of the male working population engage. in non-agricultura pursuits, and (iii) The density of propulation exceeds 1,000 persons per sq. mile (386 persons per sq. km The information given in the Town Directory relates to the years l!:J69. The data has been presented in the following seven statements: (a) Statement I-This statement presents tbe population of the towns at the end of each decade from 1901 to 1971. the Civic status of the towns and their functional cate gories at 1961 and 1971 Censuses. The functiollal categories.given in columns 14 and 15 have been determined on the basis of the predominant functional character of the town.
