Therefore, in the B, C and D-series of tables figures have beeR given tor 11 act3 and not for talukas and petas. Before sorting the census slips and tabulating lhc results, tracts were formed by combining the rural and urban areas of two or more taluk;ts nr petas. The tracts into which Satara North district was Ji\'ided for this purpose at e shown below:- Rural Tracts (1) Rural areas of Satara and Ka.rad taJukas. (~) Rural areas of Patan and ]aoJi talukas, (3) Rural areas of Koregaon, Khatav, Man, Phaltan and Wai talukas and Khandala and ~lahabaleshwar petas. Urban Tracts (1) Urban area, of Satara and l<.arad talukas. (2) Urban areas of Korcgaon, Khatav, :\1an. 1'haltan and Wai talukas and 'Mahabalcshwar peta.

Shorlly before the 1951\ population census, a censu~ of Small Industries \vas taken, and the results of this census are given in the table called "Small ';;calc Industries Census-Employment in Establishments", included in this Handbook. The intention was to find out something about Cottage and Home 1 ndustries and small workshops. The larger establishments, that is, power-using ·,tablishments with 10 or more workers and non-power using establishments with '20 or more workers, were excluded from the scope of the enquiry as they now ::11 hmit ret.urns under the Factory Act. The enquiry did not concern itself also with workers functioning on their own and not employing other people, except when looms were used. Otherwise the concf:pt was of an enquiry which embraced all forms of associate activity where articles were produced, repaired or otherwise treated for sale, use or di'posal. 4: A-I-Area, Houses DIS'l~ICT I~- Occupied Houses Area in Taluka or Pet. square Villages Towns miles lotal Rural Urban 2 3 4 5 6 7 -------- Total 4,022.6 1.152 15 203.177 179,377 23,800 Jaoli 344.7 106 12,738 12,738 2 Karad 405.8 111 3 32,724 28,90~ 3,820 3 Khandala 203.3 45 9,114 9,1l4 4 Khatav 509.1 1S4 2 22,697 20,397 2,300 5 Koregaon 364.6 73 3 18,583 .14,744 3,839 6 Mahabaleshwar 87.3 53 2 3,203 2,133 1 ,(\7 0 7 Man 556.0 70 15,291 13,598 1,693 8 Patan 513.5 203 28,325 28,325 9 Phaltan 455.8 78 17,444 15,352 2,092 10 Satara 353.4 151 2 27,849 21,440 6,409 11 Wai 229.1 88 15,209 12,632 2,577 Note:-I.
