This is the most valuable district 1cvel publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt./Union Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academicians .and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confincd to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Tcrritories. The third part, Part C of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought Qut, could not be published in many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981, some new features alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsil!town level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except eiectricity, were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenily was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health ~b-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of Town Directories also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Prog;amme, a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the programmes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this Statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and Class II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed III 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classification of· main workers has been given as against four-fol~ industrial classification presented in the 1<)81 Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise population in the 0-6 age-group has also been included in PCA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rates as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. (v) One of the most important innovations is the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional TahsiliTaluk/PS lnel presentation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and PCA data al CD.Block levcl will help the planncrs in formulation of micro-level developmental plans, as the CD.Block is the lowcst administrative unit for developmcntal planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to usc Village Directory/PCA data. either from the magnetic tapeslfloppies or from the puhlished records, hoth the computer and manual wde;, for each village have heen provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codcs of 19R 1. This puhlication is a Jomt venture of the State Govt./UT administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction of Ms. Sobha Nambisan, Director of Census Operations, Karnataka on hehalf of the State Govt. administration which has horne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and coordination of the publication was initiated hy Dr.K.p.rtlaman, former Deputy Regi;,trar General (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua, Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of information/data and for prcparation of analytical note depicting the salient features emerging from a micro-level analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance. of Shri M.KJain, thc present Deputy Registrar General (S.S.). This task was carried out hy Shri A.K.Singh, Dcputy Director who was assisted by S/Shri V.KJain and Hariram, Investigators and staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of thc maps was initially provided by Dr.B.K.Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (Map) and later ~1y Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the prescnt Deputy Registrar qeneral (Map). I am thankful to all those who have contrihuted to Ihis project. New Delhi A.R.Nanda June 11,_ 1992. Rl'gistrar Gl'Ill'ml, India (vi) PREFACE In the foreworJ to the 19()1 series of the District Census HanJbooks, Sri A.R.NanJa, LA.S., the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, has traceJ the hi~t()ry of the District Census Handbooks. He has also succinctly cxplaineJ the scope and coverage of the District Census Handbooks. These volumcs contain the salicnt data on the populat ion for every village and town as revealcJ by the 1991 Census. They also contain a wealth of information regarJing these villages anJ towns which, although not part of the population census,. throw some light on the circumstances in which people live and is therefore rde'lant to the data on the population. This information has also considerable importance in the context of planned development. The District Census Handbook is therefore divided into two parts: Part A contalOlI1g information regarding each village and town (Village Directory and Town Directory) which is ]]ot census data and part B which contains the data on the population collected during the 1991 Census - the Primary Census Abstract. The data published in Part B was collected in February 1991 at the time of the population census.
