The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, ad­ ministmtors, academicians and researchers. It is inter aUa used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data up to village level for the rural areas and ward­ wise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns etc. The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census: It contained important censuS tables and PCA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 Census the scope of the DCR was en­ larged and it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-S to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statis­ tics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some States it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and printing. While designing the format of 1981 OCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the for­ mats of village and town directory hav~ been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data has also been kept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brought together in the village directory with the instruction that in (;ase an amenity is not available in the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the ncarest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infr astrllcture aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalances in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of in­ formation as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objective in mind. The new item on approach to the village is to have an idea about the villages in the district which arc inaccessible. A new column, "total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population to the total population has also been made with this view in mind. The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amenities in slums in Class-I and Class-II towns (Statement IV-A) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this wil1 help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improve­ ment of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in statement V are also added inter alia with this view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the to\4n directory. The infra~tructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into consi­ deratIon. The addition of the columns on civic administration status and population in a few statements also serves this purpose. The format of the primary census abstract for the villages and towns has been formulated in the light of changes in the economic and other questions canvassed through the individual slip of 1981 Census. In order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCH series it has been so designed that Part-A of the vo­ lume contains village and town directory and Part-B, the PCA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes peA upto Tahsil/Town levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note sup· ported by a number of inset tables based on PCA and non-census data in relation to the infrastructure has been IDt~oduCed to enhance its value. The district and tahsil/Police Station/CD Block etc., level maps depicting the boun­ darl~ a~d other important features have been inserted at appropriate places, to further enhance the value of the pubhcatlon.
