The idol of the Lord was built of a tree trunk (Jackfruit tree trunk) during the reign of Maharaj Karta. When the king came to Ningthoukhong during his war journey, he met a tribal lady called Keshori, whom he married. They had a son and later the idol was taken under the care of his son, Prince Puraraj. Gopinath temple is the second largest temple in Manipur. The huge white coloured building is well maintained and looks absolutely divine. Lord Krishna was also known as Gopinath, as he was loved and worshipped with great devotion by the Gopis (young girls) of his hometown, Vrindavan, U.P. The temple has some amazing paintings that narrate beau- tiful love scenes known as Ras Lila, of Lord Krishna with Goddess Radha and the Gopis. The idol of the Lord is worth watching. Hundreds of devotees come to the temple to offer prayers. The festival of Janmashtmi is celebrated with great pomp and grandeur. 7 DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK BISHNUPUR 8 DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK BISHNUPUR Contents Pages District Map 3 Mottif 7 Contents 9 Foreword 11 Preface 13 Acknowledgements 15 History and Scope of the District Census Handbook 17 Brief History of the District 19 Analytical Note (i) Pysical features 22 (ii) Census Concepts 24 (iii) Non-Census Concepts 28 (iv) 2011 Census findings 32 (v) Brief Analysis of Primary Census Abstracts data based on 1 to 35 33 (vi) Brief Analysis of Village Directory and Town Directory data base on 36 to 45 51 (vii) Major social and cultural events,natural and administrative developments 58 and significant activities during the decade (viii) Brief discription of places of religious, historical or archaeological 60 importance in villages and places of tourist interest in the towns of the district (ix) Major Chareteristics of the Districts, contribution of the district in the 61 form of any historical figure associated with the District (x) Scope of Village and Town Directory-column headingwise explanation 62 and coverage of data Village and Town Directory Brief Note on Village and Town Directory 65 Section I -Village Directory (a) List of Villages merged in town and outgrowths at 2011 Census 73 (b) Map of C.D.Block Bishnupur showing tehsil boundary. 77 (c) Alphabetical List of Villages of C.D.Block Bishnupur 80 along with location code 2001 & 2011 (d) Village Directory of C.D.Block Bishnupur 82 (e) Map of C.D.Block Moirang showing tehsil boundary. 95 (f) Alphabetical List of Villages of C.D.Block Moirang 99 along with location code 2001 & 2011 (g) Village Directory of C.D.Block Moirang 102 9 DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK BISHNUPUR (h) Appendices to Village Directory Appendix-I: Summary showing total number of villages having 114 educational,medical and other amenities in villages - T.D.Block level Appendix 1-A : Villages by number of the primary Schools 116 Appendix I-B: Villages by primary, middle and secondary Schools 116 Appendix I-C:Villages with different sources of drinking water 116 facilities available Appendix II: Villages with 5000 and above population which do not have 117 one or more amenities available Appendix V: Summary showing number of villalges not having 117 Scheduled Caste Population Appendix VI: Summary showing number of villalges not having 117 Scheduled Tribes Population Appendix VII-A: List of Villalges according to the proportion of the 118 Scheduled Castes to the total Population by ranges Appendix VII-B: List of Villalges according to the proportion of the 119 Scheduled Tribes to the total Population by ranges Section II-Town Directory (a) Town Directory Statement I- Status and growth history 122 (b) Town Directory Statement II- Physical Aspect and location of Towns,2009 124 (c) Town Directory Statement III- Civic and other amenities,2009 124 (d) Town Directory Statement IV- Medical facilities,2009 125 (e) Town Directory Statement V- Educational,Recrational and Cultural facilities, 2009 126 (f) Town Directory Statement VI- Industry and Banking,2009 127 10 DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK BISHNUPUR FOREWORD The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of the Census Organization since 1951. It contains both Census and non Census data of urban and rural areas for each District. The Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each Village and Town and ward of the District. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected during 1st.phase of the Census i.e. House Listing and Housing Census. The non Census data presented in the DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various infrastructure facilities available in the village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication and transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities. Later on, the Telegraph Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th. July, 2013. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level. 2. In the 1961 Census, DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District, administrative statistics, Census tables and Village and Town Directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town Directory, Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, District Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages. The 1981 Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and Part-B the PCA of Village and Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. 3. The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four- fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/Taluk/PS level presentation. 4. As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and ‘most important commodity’ manufactured in a Village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier Censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of ‘notified slums’.
