PREFACE The District eensus Hand Book for each District containing all basic details or population for all villages and town~ in the District along with other administrative statistics, was first brought out by Census Organisation in 1951 and was published by the State G0vern­ ment. Till then the village statistics "howing merely the number of houses and population by religion in respect of each village and town were published as supplement. In 19'1, the General Population Tables, economic tables and vi11agewise and townwise statistics relating to taluks were presented as Part-I and Social :lnd Cultural Tables as Part-II. The contents of the Hand Book was improvea upon during 1961 Census and was found to be useful as a reference book for re.carch scholars, State and Central Government, Local Bodies and Private Institutions. In 1961, the Hand Book was brought out in two volumes, Volume-I showing all the Census Tables ,iving talukwise data with a narrative report and Volume-II containing villagewise and townwise popUlation statistics known as "Primary Census Abstract". During 1971 Census, it was decided to improve the contents of the District Census Hand Book still further and continue this useful pub] ication by the State Government. It bas been decided to present the District Census Hand Book in three parts during 1971. Part A: This contains the Village and Town Directory, which will show the land use pattern data, basic amenities available in the village and the conditions of the towns. Part -B: This Part furnishes the Village and Townwise Primary Census Abstract giving basic data like popul.ation, Literates, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Industrial Classifications (Jf Workers and Non-Workers.

The present volume contains Parts A & B, while Part-C is being published as a separate volume.
