They are needed for running democratic institutions, district level planning and district administration besides catering to the assorted needs of researchers, scholars and com!!lon man. By presentini census data down to the level of villages, the District Census Handbook series occupies a place of prominence in the galaxy of census publications. The need for small domain data always promoted publication of village figures in some form or the other in most 9f the censuses. Yet it was only in 1951 census that the publication of village statistics acquired the weU _deserved importance by. the introduction of District Census Handbook series. These volumes have been published with unbroken regularity in Uttar Pradesh State since 1951 census by the Census Organization on behalf of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The District Census Handbook was brought out for each district in two volumes in 1951/1961, three volumes in 1971 and is being brought out in two volumes Part A and Part B in 1981. With the introduction of this series, it developed into a healthy tradition to collect village-wise information on amenities and infrastructure, taklUg advantage of the massive census operations and publish it in the form of village and town directories in volume A of the District Census Handbook. Part 'A' volume, in keeping with the tradition, consists of village and town directori~ giving basic information relating to infra-structure and amenities and total population of each village and town as thrown up by the 1981 census. The part B volume presents primary census data for each village and town giving total population with scheduled caste/scheduled tribe, literates, main workers by main category, marginal workers and non-workers break-up. The District Census Handbook part A and part C were published in English in 1971 census.
