Data Product Number 01-008-2001 - Cen-Atlas (ii) FOREWORD "Few people realize, much less appreciate, that apart from Sur~ey of India and Geological Survey, the Census of India has been pe'rhaps the largest single producer of maps of the Indian sub-continent" - this is an observation made by Dr. Ashok Mitra, an illustrious Census Commissioner of India in 1961. The statement sums up the contribution of CeIlS~ ,s 'C?rganisation which has been working in the field of mapping in the country. The Census Commissionarate of India has been working in the field of cartography and mapping since 1872. A major shift was witnessed during Census 1961 when the office had got a permanent footing. For the first time, the census maps were published in the form of 'Census Atlases' in the decade of 1961-71. Alongwith the national volume, the atlases of states and union territories were also published. With the passage of time and in each subsequent census, a number of other products such as DCHB, Town Directory, migration maps, regional division maps and others were added. During the Census 2001, GIS technology was introduced in Census Commissionarate and Census Directorates which has given a real boost in the field of mapping. Besides the regular publications, a number of new map products such as (i) India Administrative Atlas 1872-2001 - A Historical Perspective, {ii) Language Atlas of India, (iii) Housing Atlas of India, (iv) Scheduled Tribe Atlas of India and (v) Map Profile 2001 India, States and Union territories have been published. Some of the other products are in the pipeline. Administrative Atlas, 2001 of all the States and Union territories has been undertaken for preparation, looking to the demand of DCHB maps among the data, users. In this publication, maps of the state, district and sub-district levels have been put together. For convenience of the data users, the publication has been made ready in two parts : Part-I is in regard to the maps showing the evolution of States/Union territories during the period 1872-2001 at decadal level. These maps exhibit the evolution of administrative boundaries in the respective State/Union territory through the entire time period. A brief analytical note has been added to explain th,e jurisdictional changes to each map. Besides, there are a few thematic maps at state level showing different themes. Few selected key population statistics at States/Union territories level have also been included. Part-II is more current. The first map highlights the changes observed in the administrative boundaries during 1991-2001. This is followed by district and sub-district maps of the respective States/Union territories showing amenities and location code number in the sub-districts adopted during Census 2001 at village level. To read the location code numbers, the names of villages alongwith code numbers are given on the page facing each plate. The gigantic task of the completion of this project was entrusted to Map Division of Census Commissionarate and respective Directorates under the supervision of Dr. R.P. Singh, Ex-Deputy Registrar General (Map) and, now, Consultant (Map). Kum. Sarita, Research Officer (Map) has (iii) supervised this project. The names of others associated with the publication is given to the respective publication. The states and union territories where the Computer Assisted Cartography was not provided, the district, sub-district and thematic maps have been prepared and data compiled at the Map Division of Census Commissionarate. My sincere thanks to all the officers and officials who have contributed and made it possible to bring out this publication. I hope that this will serve the needs of administrators, planners and scholars alike and fill up the gap of basic maps. O.K. Sikri New Delhi Registrar General and 7th September, 2005 Census Commissioner, India j (iv) PREFACE Census 2001 was conducted in Jammu & Kashmir state after a period of two decades as Census could not be conducted in 1991 due to disturbed conditions prevailing in the State. However, the Administrative Atlas is brought out after 1971 Census as Administrative Atlas of 1981 had not been prepared for Jammu & Kashmir State. The present volume of Administrative Atlas contains altogether 86 maps which are divided in two parts. In the part I, there are 5 maps of J & K State showing jurisdictional changes from 1961 to 2001. The State consisted of 9 districts, 33 tahsils and 43 towns in 1961 and now in 2001 Census, the state is comprised of 14 districts, 59 tahsils and 7 towns. These 5 maps one each for one decade depicts the Administrative Units for the respective decade. In addition to above, it contains maps on the demographic characteristics of 2001 Census like Density of Population, Sex-ratio, Sex-ratio in age-group 0-6, Literacy, Female Literacy, Growth of UAs/Towns and Main Workers. A brief analytical note for Administrative division maps has been given on its facing page. In the part II, it contains maps of 14 districts, each district map followed by its tahsil maps and CD Block maps. These tahsil and CD Block maps are showing all villages alongwith their revenue boundaries and permanent location code numbers adopted during the 2001 Census. On the facing page of each map list of villages alongwith 2001 codes have been printed. The amenities available at the time of 2001 Census at village level are also given in these tahsil maps. It is pertinent to mention here that it is for the first time in Census history that maps have been prepared by computer assisted cartography.
