The Census Organization has published Census Atlas volumes during 1961, 1971 and 1981. The Census Centenary Atlas was published during 1973 as a special project. Besides the Atlases, maps of districts, tahsils, community development blocks and other administrative units showing basic amenities, population and infrastructure are being published regularly in each Census. The idea of the Atlas was· conceived for the first time at the 1961 Cel')sus and a special programme of the Census Atlas mapping was organized. In this pr.:ogramme, Census Atlases of States and Union Territories were brought out. This publication programme has been much appreciated by data users and academicians alike. The present volume is part of the Census Atlas series of states and union territories. The list of titles of the maps has been generated on the basis of the tabulation plan for the 1991 Census. One hundred and twenty five themes were identified. The number of maps included in the Atlas Volumes varies from state to state to some extent depending upon the availability of data. The maps in the Atlas volumes portray different themes. There are maps of administrative and physical aspects reflecting the general characteristics 'of the State followed by maps on demographic, economic and socio-cultural aspects consisting of distribution,. density and growth of population, age and sex, urban trends, industrial categories, migration, literacy, religion, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, education and housing. The choroplE!'ttl technique has been ·adopted for the presentation of data in the maps. However, multi-cartographic techniques have also been used frequently' depending upon the suitability and requirement of tDe maps as well as data. The work on the Atlas programme was undertaken by the officers and staff of the Map Division in the Registrar General's office and• the Map Units of the Directorates of Census Operations. A list 9f those who have contributed to the completion of the work is given separately and all of them deserve appreciation. I hop~ the Census At~s volumes will be found useful by scholars, planners, administrators and other data users. \ New Delhi Dr. M. Vijayanunni April 1999 Registrar General and Census COfTlmissioner of India (iii) PREFACE The publication of Census Atlases for India and its constituent States/Union Terdtories made its beginning in 1961. Keeping in view their wide recognition and usefulness, the same pattern has been followed in the successive Censuses of 1971, 1981 and 1991. The present volume is fourth in this regular series. It contains 112 maps supplemented with short explanatory notes, to provide an understanding of the emerging trends. The volume has four main sections. The first section "General Maps" includes eight maps detailing on locational, administrative and physical aspects of the state. The second section "Demographic Structure and Trends" has 45 maps focussing on distribution, density, growth, sex and age composition of population, levels of urbanisation and migrational patterns. Third section which' deals on "Economic Aspects" includes 21 maps and the last section which has 38 maps focuses on Social and Cultural aspects of population in the state. The preparation of this Atlas involved a high degree of technical skill and planning. Sh. D.S.
