The publication, which IS brou~t out for each district, contains several demographic and socio-t1conomic characteristics, village­ jwise atJd tOWIl-wlse, of the district alongwith the status of availability of civic amenities, infrastructural facilities, 'etc. '2. Th' scoPe of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of eacb village and town within the district. Thereafter, at successive Censuses, its scope and coverage has be n enlfged. The DCHB published at the 1961 Census provided a descriptive account of the district, administrativ~f statistics, census tables and a village and town directory including PCA. The 1971 Census­ DCH~' seriesl was i'1 three parts: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA a~d ParttC comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. The 1981 Census DCHB was in two parts : Part-AI contained village and town directory and Part-B the PCA of village and town including the SCs and STs P<l:A up to tahsil/town levels. New features alongwith restructuring of the formats of village and town directory were added to it. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and I if any amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. Information on new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet the requirements of some of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Information on approach to the village was provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to give the details on number of inaccessible villages in each district. In the Town Directory, a statement (IV-A) on slums was introduced to provide the details on civic and other amenities in the notified slums of Class I and Class II towns.
