Gradually through the decades it has also aimed at providing besides a statistical account of the population surveyed, a picture of the Socio-Economic condition of the people. With this end in view, the Census authorities in India have always interested themselves, side by side with the counting of the people, at making several special studies relating to the life of the people. One of these special features of the Census of India at present is the preparation and publication of the District Census Handbooks. These were first published in the 1951 Census. Upto 1951, after each Census, only the list of villages along with population was published. But for the first time in 1951, general population tables, literacy tables and social and economic tables were pub­ lished in the District Census Handbooks. When preliminary work on the 1961 Census started in 1959, the question of enlarging the coverage of subjects included in the District Handbooks was also examined. A broadsheet indicating the,items on which information had to be gathered from the various Departments was circulated by the Registrar General, India, and at the First Conference of Superintendents of Census Operations held at Delhi towards the end of 1959 the delegates agreed that it was quite within the bounds of possibility to gather information on all the topics suggested by the Registrar General. It was agreed that the contents of the District Census Handbook, on matters of general information should not compete with the District Gazetteers. The scope of the Village Directory included in each District Handbook has been enlarged. In addition to giving the Primary Census Abstract of the village concerned, the Directory gives information about the various amenities available in the village. It is thus possible to get from the Village Directory not only information about the population and the economic activities of the people but also about the level of development attained by the village in regard to the provision of the various amenities. Many of the Census Tables published in the District Handbook furnish information down to the level of a Taluk and they may prove useful in drawing up Taluk Develop­ ment Plans. Besides the Census Tables and Village Directory some administrative statistics pertaining to the District concerned, have also been furnished. It was also thought that the usefulness of these volumes would be enhanced by inclusion of District maps and Taluk maps set in suitable squares to facilitate easy location of the villages in the Taluk maps. In order that the readers may get a bird's eye-view of the cultural heritage of the State, a note on it has also been inculded, which though not exhaustive, should give a glimpse of our rich heritage. These handbooks have been compiled by the Census Organisation under the general instruc­ tions of the Registrar General. They are being printed and published by the State Government who have also approved the list of items to be included and the mode of presentation. In the course of the Census operations, I have received assistance and co-operation from several institutions and individuals. It is impossible for me to express my gratitude to each of them individually However, I will be failing in my duty if I do not express my deep sense of gratitude to Sri A. Mitra, I.e.s., Registrar General, India, who has been a source of constant help, inspiration and guidance all through the Census operations of 1961. I am also grateful to the Government of Mysore and its staff at all levels, for the unstinted co-operation extended to me in this work. BANGALORE K.
