This is the most valuablo. disl'rict level publication brought. out by the. Census Organisation UJl hdlalf of cach Statc (Juvl./U nion Tcrrjtory ~d~inistrati()n. It illier-alia pillYides data/information on somc of thc basic demographic and socio-e¢onomi~ characteristics and on th~ availability of certain important civic .lIlu:nities/r;lcilitil.:s in each village, and town of th_c respective, districts, This 'publication has thus_.pwvl.!d to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academ~~ians and researchers. The scope! of the DCH was initially c(;nfinl.!u to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cuhural aspccts as also the Prim:lry Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs puhlished after the I%} Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, CCnsus tahks and Village and Town Directories including PCA. After" thel 1971 Census, two parts of the Distri(.,t Census H:mdhooks (part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) wen: released in all thl.! States ;Ind Union Territories. The third p.lrl, Part C of till:. District Census Handhooks comprising ~:Idlllinistrative statistics and district census tables, which was alsl) tu be hrought out, (.:ould nut hI.! puhlished in many States/UTs due (0 considerahle delay in compilation of relevant material. In !'lSI, some new fe.ltures alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCI-Js. These were published i.,n two parts for each district after the 1WH Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, (he PCA of vill.tges and towns (w'lrd-wise) including Sdll.!duled ('aste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsiVtown level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity. were brought togcther in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not availahlc in the -referent village, the distance in broad ranges from thl.! nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on sOl1le­ new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and cummunity he<llth workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimulll Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided for the tirst time in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villagcs in each district. In case of Town Directories also, keeping in vicw the requirements or the Minimum Needs Prognunme. a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to enahle the planners to chalk out the programllles for providing beller civic and other amenities in the slullls. I n this Statement details on civic and othcr amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and CI:lss II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Trihes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were ad(.lcd in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 11)')1 Census is by and large the same a:-. fullowed In )I)X1. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in thl.: )')91 (\.:"_~\tI:-. for the hendit of data users. Nine-fold industrial c1~tssification of main workers has hcell given as against fuur-rolJ industrial classification presented in the ICJIo!J Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise popubtioll in Ihe 0-6 age-group has also heen includeJ in PCA for the first time with a view to en.ll)ling data u:-.ers to compute more realistic literacy rates as all children below 7 Yl.!ars of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentilllll:d Illodilicalillns will hell' the planners in chalking out morc effective developmental progral1lllle~. (v) One of the most important inllovatillll;, in the ]I)IJI CenSlh is thl' ('ullllllunity Development UhK'k-kvcl presentation of data in thl; Vilbge Din':I.:lllrY ano PCA in"lc;tJ of the traditional TahsilfTaluk/PS kvd presl;ntation. It is expected thaI thl; pn:senlatinn of Village Din:Llory anJ PCA data at C.D.Block level will help the planners in formulation of mino-Ievcl devclllplllL'nlal pl;t1h, as- the C.D.UIllck is the lowest administrative unil for devdopl1lt.:l1tal planning.
