Director of Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh. tntroductory Note 1. History of District Census Handbook. It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population of village-s in each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911, but cculd be published only for thirteen due to the out break of the First World War. At the 1921 Censull, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted ta bulati on was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics was recognised and tbese were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at tbe 1951 Census, and was publi­ shed alongwith another volu me titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, att. empts Were mad.e to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in addition to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and ameni­ ties were also collected. At the 1971 Census. efforts have been made til) compile both Census and Non-census statistics at village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics available for the smaller territorial units, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demar­ cation of electoral constituencies, planning and development and so on. To ensure tbat these statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook bas 'been diVided for being published sep1fately into three parts: Part A: Town and Village Directory Part B : Village and Town-wise Primary Census Abstract Part C : Analytical Report and Administrative Statements-District Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Census Handbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory, In Village Dire­ ctory, particulars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power suppJy, drinking water supply, Post and telegraph and Communications haNe been given. Besides, it Con- \ tains land-use statistics, d~ys of weekly markets and places of religous, historical or archa- eoligical interest in each vi!lage. The Town Directory comprising seven statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin. growth of popUlation. functional cate­ gory, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances. Civic and other amenities. MedI­ cal and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade. Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these. it also gives the distribution of populalion of a town by religion and scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. Part B represents data down to village level for rural area and block level for towns. contains the Primary Cenus Abstract which incorporates figures of area. number of occupied residential houses and households. total population and its break-up by sex, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate popUlation, working population by nine broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged in forestry and livestock etc. in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construction, in trade and commerce, in transport and communications and in other services as well as the non-working population. ( iv ~ Part C deals with the administrative statistics pertaining to the district in all fields of development. The Census tables pertaining to language, religion, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A write up indicadng changes in socio-economic and demographic characteristics I)f the district during the last deca'de is also being included in it. 3. Town Directory given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns of the district. There is no uniformly accepted qefinitIon of a town. The historical, poli­ tical, cultUlal and administrative considerations are generally taken as criteria for rural­ urban classification. An urbaQ area, in contradistinct on to the rural, comprises a large tnaj­ ority of inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activities. In addition to its size. population and occupational characteristics, an ur ban area pro­ vides such facili ties as transportatIOn, hanking. commercial and technical services, com~ munity facilities and otlser civic services. According to the State Government, all Muni­ cipal Corporations. Municipal BO'irds, Cantonment Boards, Notified Areas and Town Areas are considered as town, and according to their average annual income' from their own resources, the3e have be~n classified into different classes of local bodies. The Criteria adopted under the Census Operati ons is slightly different from the State Government. In 1971 Census all places satisfying the following conditions have been treated as Towns :- 1. All Municipal Corporations Municipal Boards, Cantonments & Notified Areas. 2. All localities though not in themselves local bodies but forming part of a city or town agglomeration. ') 3. Other places satisfying all the three under mentioned conditions: (i) Population exceeds 5,000. (ii) At least 75% of the male working population engages in non-ag.ricultural pursuits, and (iii) The density of population exceeds 1,00') persons per sq., mile,(3B6 pe~sons per sq. km.). The information given in the Town Directory relates to the year 1969. The data has been presented in the following seven statements: la) Statement I-This statement presents the population of the towns at the end
