Because of their usefulness they are being printed in every census since then. Though District Oensus Handbooks are State Government publications, the data to be presented in them are processed and compiled in the Census office. District Census Handbook of Patna is being printed in three parts, viz., (i) Part A containing Town and Village Directory, (ii) Part B containing Village and Townwise Primary Oensus Abstract and (iii) Part C containing Analytical Report, Administrative Statistics and District Oensus Tables. The Explanatory Kote at the beginning gives the details of information contained in the Town Directory and the Village Directory. Alphabetical list of villages showing names of villages and their serial number in Village Directory and Primary Census Abstract has been given at the beginning of the volume to facilitate reference to Village Directory and Villagewise Primary Census Abstract. I am grateful to the vast multitudo of Enumerators and Supervisors who collected the basic data in the Mauzawar Note at the time of enumeration. Charge Superin­ tendents, Sub divisional Officers and District Officers along with the Sub divisional Census Officers and the Distriot Census Officers organised the programme and supervised it in their respective areas.
