PtREFACE The limited exercise done at tbe 1961 Census on collecting some information regard­ ing tbe manufacturing establishments only, alongwith tbe bouselisting operations, gave birth to an additional schedule on establishments at the 1971 Census for the collection of more diverse data on all types of establishments. Thus, Indian Census of 1971 came to cover b~3ides hum:l.ll population and tbeir habitat, even places of their social, economic and cultural activities. The data thus collected on establishments in this Union Territory are pie;;;,d togetber and analysed in this raport. The detailed tables generated and subsidiary tables base<l tbereon are also presented here for more detailed work by those interested. A5 only establish ments located in buildings, houses or structures having walls and roofs could be covered and those run in the open and vendors moving from place to place left Ollt, such open air establishments like pottery making in Choura, canoe making, copra and betel-nut processing in the Nicobars, preservation of fish by drying in sunshine in th;, Andamans and trading in fish, eatables, and other articles by pedlars and service or trade or business done in tbe open without any structure over the place of business/trade ,s~rvice thus remain excluded. I hope they will be taken due care of at the next Census, so as to complete the full perspective of the establisbments in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. I am grateful to Shri A. Ch andra Sekhar, ex-Registrar General-cum-Census Com missioner, India and Shri R. B, Chari, tbe present Registrar General-cum-Census Commis­ sioner, India, for their guidance and encouragement from time to time. My grateful thanks are also due to Shri S. C. Sbarma, Assistant Registrar General, India (Data Processing) for tbe coding, puncbing and mechanical tabulation of the data collected and providing us the detailed tables in record time and to Sbri K. K. Cbakraborty, Assistant Registrar General (Census & Tabulation), for kindly seeing tbrough the finalisation of these tables as also the printing of this report. My thanks are also due to Shri Ardaman Singh, the erstwhile Assistant Director of Census Operations, A. & N. Islands who laboriously prepared the first draft of this report I was also lucky to have the services of Shri Lal Krishan, the present Assistant Director of Census Operations as he came handy at the time of finalisation of this report. In tbe end, tbe hard work put in by Shri V. O. Koshy, Assistant Compiler in the prepa­ ratio'} of subsidiary and inset tables and that by Sbri K. V. K. Nair, my Stenographer in typing out this report deserves all appreciation. M. C~ JOSHI 30th June 1975 Director of Census Operations (iii) FIGURES AT A GLANCE AND AM AN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS 1.
