(v) FORE-WORD Publication of the District Census Handbooks (DeI-Is) was initiated afler the 1951 Census and is continuing since then vvith some innovations/modiflcations after each decennial C~ensus. This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Governmentf(Jnion• Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the - basie demographic and socio-economic charactf.:.'ristics and on the availability of certain important C1VIC flITlenities/facilities in each village and to\.vn of tht~ respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators., acadernicians and researchers. The. scope of the DCH was ini"tially confined to certain irnportant ceiiSUS tables on populatjon~ economic and socio­ cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (peA) o·f each village and to'NTI ('Nard-\vise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Vi]1age and Town. Directories including peA. After the 1971 Census, t'NO parts of the District Census Handbooks CPart-A cornprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCl\.) were released in all the States and Union Territories.
