FOREWORD The bringing out of the District Census Handbooks is one of the various ways in which the State Govern­ ment collaborates with the Government of India in the work of census-taking and the dissemination of the resulting information. While the various census publications give a lot of diverse and detailed information for the bigger units of administration i.e. state. district, tehsil and town, it is left to these District Census Handbooks to present some vital data for the still lower units i.e. wards and blocks in towns and villages in tehsils. Secondly, these handbooks present lome non-census data also which is collected and processed in addition to the normal ceosus operations. The present series of District Census Handbook volumes combine parts A and B of the handbooks for each district. Part C, consisting of lOme other census tables at tehsil and town level as well as some other data, will appear in the form of a separate series. I am gratified to note that Sbri V. S. Verma, Director Census Operations. Rajasthan and his colleagues have endeavoured to bring out these exhaustive and informative volumes with precision and promptitude. I am happy to learn that the maps being included in tbe various district volumes are also to be published later on in the form of a comprehensive Administrative Atlas of the state. I am sure. these publications will be found useful and interesting by scholars and administrators as well as the lay reader. Jaipur S.LKHURANA 2nd, October. 1972 Chief Secretary to the Go,ernment of Rojtuthan PREFACE The District Census Handbooks are a special and important feature of the whole scheme of Census data collection and the analysis and presentation thereof. The regular Census publications do, of course, present a multitudinous information but they do not go upto the Village and Census Block levels, for the rural and urban areas respectively. Secondly, they have to depend on the data collected only as a part of the House­ listing and Enumeration Operations. The twofold purpose of the Di~trict Census Handbooks, like that of certain other special and ancillary studies that the Department undertakes, therefore, is to go down to these lower units of presentation and to present some data which is collected in addition to tbat produced by the above mentioned operations. The District Handbook series were first introduced in the 1951 Census. While the 1961 series were an improvement over their counterparts in 1951, the. present series for the 1971 Census are more elaborate and have been so planned that they present all the essential Census data and important demographic details alongwith such necessary orientation and background which is very relevant for the proper understanding of a district. 1971 Census envisages the publication of District Census Handbooks in three parts viz. A, Band C for all the districts of Rajasthan. The fIrst two of these are being presented ID this series of volumes, each volume dealing with one district of the State, because these two parts have much in common and they present infor­ mation which the reader might like to interlink at various stages in his study. Part C, containing both the data collected from the various dapartments of the State Government as well as certain Census tables, districtwise and down to the level of tehsils, will appear as a separate senes of volumes, again, one for each district. Parts A & B have been explained in detail in the respective introductions pertaining thereto. For the sake of convenience and better presentability this volume has "been divided into three sections, viz. Town and Village Directories, Primary Census Abstract and certain common appendices and maps. A look at the Contents will further elucidate this arrangement. This Department has produced these District Census Handbooks for and on behalf of the Government of Rajasthan. We are grateful to the unfailing assistance and encouragement which we have received at each stage from the Chief Secretary, Shri S. L. Khurana, and the Deputy Secretary in the General Administration Department Shri D. R. Mehta. The ex-Chief Secretary Shri Z. S. Jhala and the ex-Deputy Secretary Shri Yatindra Siagh also gave us valuable advice and support during the earlier stages of this work. We are also grateful to Sbri Kburana for baving consented to write a Foreword for this series of volumes. As regards the whole scheme of tbese volumes and their contents, we owe a deep debt of gratitude to the guidance we have received from Shri A. Chandra Sekhar, Registrar General of India, Dr. 8.K. Roy Burman. Deputy Registrar General of India. Social Studies, and Dr. B.K. Roy, Map Officer. Shri Japt Pal Singh. Deputy Director. Social Studies. and a team of dedicated workers including Shri Shamsher Singh. Tabulation Otf'icer, and Shri Wali Haider. Statistical Assistant. have laboured really hard to give shape to the Town and Village Directories with tbe help of heaps of data collected from various sources. For the Primary Census Abstract the credit goes to Dr. U. B. Mathur. Deputy Director Headquarters. Shri S.R. Luhadia. Assistant Director. Shri R.C. Bhargava, Senior Investigator and Shri S. P. Kashyap. Senior Technical Assistant. and the persons working in Technical Section. Sbri Kashyap will soon be retiring and I will like to place on record here my gratitude and admirdtion for his hard and consistent work. The Art Section had to carry a tremendous load in preparing the maps going with these volumes. I am happy to say that the band of old and experienced hands as well as the new recruits have risen to the occasion in an admirable manner under the supervison of Dr. R.K. Tyagi. Geographer. Shri M.M. Goyal. Tabulation OffICer, has been instrumental in seeing the volumes through the press and bas spared no pains in the process. For tbe fine quality of printing. we are indebted to Shri P.C. Patni of the Jubilee Block and Printing Works. He made special arrangements for the job and personally supervised all processes. It i. hoped that this volume as well as its compaOlon volume namely Part C of the District Census Handbook will be found useful by the readers. Rambagh Palace Annexe, V. S.
