To ensure that these statistics are available to the users as soon as these are sift­ ed and compiled, the District Census Handbook has been divided into three parts. This is the first part of the series, the Village and Town Direc:ory, which mostly comprises Non-census data. We are deeply indebted to the State Government for their ever willing and prompt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf. I wish to express my gratitude to Sri M. Lal, Chief Secretary to U. P. Government, for all the guidance and facilities afforded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to Sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G.A.D. (Now Commissioner, Rohilkhand Division, B1reillv) and his successor, Sri A. P. Dixit, for the facilities given by them in sorting out various administrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks. I am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole hearted co-opera­ tion in furnishing the desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard vvork and sustained efforts in collecting the same. The programme for the printing of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published, one in Hindi and two in English. Tlle arrangements made by Sri A. Dar, Superintedent, Printing and Stationery, U. P., Allahabad for the printing of these volumes, are thank~ fully acknowledged. Joint Superintendent, Sri J. S. Gupta, lic New Government Press, Aishbagh, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for th is stupendous task of compilation and collation of statistics, preparation of notes and reading of proofs. I am grateful to Shri K. S. Sinha, Deputy Director, Headquarters, the Tabulation Officer, and other staff of the Technical Section, who have shared the burden and helped in bringing out these Handbooks. I must ,also ~xpress my gratitude to Sri A. Chandrasekhar, Registrar General, IndIa, ~n K.D. Ballal, and Dr. B.K. Roy Burm~n, Deputy Registrars General and SrI K. K. Chakravorty, Central TabulatlOn Officer for their constant help and guidance despite their own heavy preoccupations. D. M. SINHA Lucknow Director of Census Operations Dated: October 3, 1972. Uttar Pradesh. UNTRODUCTORY NOTE 1. History of District Census Handbook. It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population of villages in each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the out break of the First WoIld War. At the t921 Censm, these were published for aU districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation W1S undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics was recognised and these were published. The District Census Handbook in it~ present form was brought out at the 19j1 Census, and was publi. shed alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, att~ empts were made to rendrt the District Ctnsm Handbook more informative l as in addition to CensuS d:Ha pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and ameni­ ties were also collected. At the 1971 Census, eITans have been made to compile both Cen­ sus and Non-census statistics at village/town level in a uniform manner with all enlarged scope. As the District Census H,lOJiJook makes Census statistics a'/ailable for the smaller territorial units, it is COllstautly referred to ior several purposes of administration, demar­ cation of electoral constituenCH':s, planning and development and so on. To ensure that these statIstics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been divided for being published separately into three parts: Part A : Town and Village Directory. Part B: Village and Town-wise Primary Census Abstract. Part C : Analytical Report and Administrative Statements-Disu'ict Census Tables. 1. Scope of District Census Handbook. Part A of the Handbo:)k comprisC3 the Town and Village Directory. In Village Directory, particulars of amenities in regard to Edllcation, Medical, Power supply, drinkIng water supply, Post and Telegraph and Communications have been given. Hesides, it con­ tains lanl-llse S~J.ti3tics, daY3 of we~kly markets and places of religious. historical or archa­ eological interest in each village. The lown Directory comprismg seven statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of population, functional category, location and physical as?ects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of popUlation of a town by religion and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. Part B represets data down to village level for rutal atea and block level for towns. It contains the Primary Census Abstract which incorporates figures of area, number of .ccupied residential houses and households, total population and its break-up by sex, ( iv ) scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate population, working population by nine broad industrial categories of cultivators, agriculturallabourcrs, workers engaged in forestry and live stock etc. in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construction, in trade and commerce, in transport and communications and in other services as well as the non­ working population. Part C deals with the administrativr. statistics pertaining to the di8trict in all fields of develor,ment. The Census tables pertaining to language, religior, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A write up indicating changes in socio­ economic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is also being included in it. 3. Town Directory .-Given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns of the district. There is no uniformly accepted definition of a town. The historical, political, cultural and administrative considerations are generally taken as criteria for rural-urban classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large majority of inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and nOll-agricultural activities. In addition to its size, population and occupational characteristics, an urban area provides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical services, community facilities and other civic services. According to the State Government, all I'vlunicipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonment Buards, Notified Areas and Town Areas al'e considered as towns, and according to their average annual income from their own resources, these have been classi­ fied into different classes of iocal bodies. The Griteria adopted under the Census Operations is slightly different from the State Government. In 197] Census all places satisfying the following conditions bve been treated as Towns :- L All Municipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonments 0.: Notified Areas.
