District Primary Census Abstract of ST/SC . ............ 265 Appendix V- Total scheduled castes/ scheduled tribes popula tion (urban blockwise) ............. 270 ix Foreword Publication of the District Census Handbooks (DCHs) was initiated after the 1951 Census and is continuing since then with some innovations/modifications after each decennial Census. This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each state Govt/Union Territory administration. It inter-alia pr.ovides data/information on some of the basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenitiesj-facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population. economic and socia-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract IPCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and village and town directories including P.C.A. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the district census handbooks (part - A comprising village & Town directories and part B comprising village a~d town PCA) were released in all the states and Union Territories. The third part(C) of the district census handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district tables. which was also to be brought out, could not be published in many states/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981. some new features alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While part-A comprised Village and lown Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsil/town level were provided in part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity. were brought together in the village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referrent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy
