    VILLAGE AND TOWN WISE PRIMARY CENSUS ABSTRACT (PCA)

    Directorate of Census Operations West Bengal

  • Motif

    The Curzon Gate is the most prominent landmark of the Burdwan town, the head

    quarter of district Barddhaman. This memorial gate is located at the heart of the

    town at the crossing of the Bijoy Chand Road and the Grand Trunk Road. The Gate

    wasconstructed sometime in 1902/1903, by the then Maharaja ofBarddhaman,

    Bijoy Chand Mahatab, to celebrate his coronation. Laterit provided a convenient

    excuse for Lord Curzon to visit Barddhaman in1904 and the pomp and grandeur of

    that visit established the name ofthe Gate as Curzon Gate. The Gate is supported

    by two circularcoloumns (each) on the right and left, on both the east and west

    sides.The eight pillars support an arch. Three female figurines appear on thetop

    centre panel, with swords, boats, and sheaves of corn in their hands,signifying

    progress in agriculture and commerce. Also, there are twentyonecircles at the top,

    having twenty one illustrations. The words,Heavens light-our guide, are written

    at the head of the edifice. Thestructure was constructed by masons brought over

    from Italy. Becauseof its overwhelming similarity to the Gateway of India in

    Mumbai, it wasalso known as the Star of India. After Independence, the name

    BijoyToron is used to refer to the building, though the colloquial name still

    isCurzon Gate, being pronounced as Korjon Gate in the vernacular. Thehistorical

    monument was defaced by posters and notices until 1974,when the then Public

    Works Minister of the Government of West Bengalarranged for a facelift. Thereafter

    the Gate is being maintained by theState Public Works Department.

    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. 5. The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly

  • 2

    added amenities are: Pre-Primary School, Engineering College, Medical College, Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-formal Training Centre, Special School for Disabled, Community Health Centre, Veterinary Hospital, Mobile Health Clinic, Medical Practitioner with MBBS Degree, Medical Practitioner with no degree, Traditional Practitioner and faith Healer, Medicine Shop, Community Toilet, Rural Sanitary Mart or Sanitary Hardware Outlet in the Village, Community Bio- gas, Sub Post Office, Village Pin Code, Public Call Office, Mobile Phone Coverage, Internet Cafes/ Common Service Centre, Private Courier Facility, Auto/Modified Autos, Taxis and Vans, Tractors, Cycle-pulled Rickshaws, Carts driven by Animals, Village connected to National Highway, State Highway, Major District Road, and Other District Road, Availability of Water Bounded Macadam Roads in Village, ATM, Self-Help Group, Public Distribution System(PDS) Shop, Mandis/Regular Market, Weekly Haat, Agricultural Marketing Society, Nutritional Centers (ICDS), Anganwadi Centre, ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist), Sports Field, Public Library, Public Reading Room, Assembly Polling station, Birth & Death Registration Office. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details and the data of each Town have been presented viz.; (i)-Status and Growth History of Towns,(ii)- Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii)-Civic and other Amenities, (iv)-Medical Facilities, (v)-Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi)- Industry & Banking, and (vii)- Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 Census as presented in earlier Census. 6. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract. Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census. 7. The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled and computerized under the supervision of Shri Deepak Ghosh, IAS., Director of Census Operation, West Bengal. The task of Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS) under the guidance & supervision of Dr. R.C.Sethi, Ex-Addl. RGI and Shri Deepak Rastogi present Addl.RGI. Shri A.P. Singh, Deputy Registrar General, (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of maps. Shri A.K. Arora, Joint Director of Data Processing Division under the overall supervision of Shri M.S.Thapa, Addl.

    2011 is seventh in the series.

    Over the time, the contents of DCHB havebeen changing keeping in track with

    the requirement of the data user on different amenities. Since DCHB is a compilation of

    Census and non-Census data, the presentation is being done in two parts, viz. the Part-A

    with some important tables depicting availability of basic civic amenities such as

    drinking water facilities, educational facilities, post & telegraph facilities, banking

    facilities etc. at the C.D. Block/Village and Town level. Part-B on the other hand contains

    of population, age group of 0-6 years, literate and illiterate, Scheduled Castes and

    Scheduled Tribes, worker and non-worker data, economic category i.e. cultivator,

    Apart from the above, DCHB also furnishes a variety of essential information

    pertaining to the district like brief history, the information about administrative set-up,

    location, climate, economic resources, land use, transport, industry, trade and

    commerce, place of historical, archaeological and tourists importance etc. It also provides

    HISTORY AND SCOPE OF THE DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK

    The need of data at the grass root level for the administrative and planning purposes at sub micro level as well as academic studies prompted the innovation of District Census Handbook. District Census Handbook is a unique publication from the Census organization which provides most authentic details of census and non-census information from village and town level to district level. The District Census Handbook was firstly introduced during the 1951 Census. It contains both census and non census data of urban as well as rural areas for each district. The census data contain several demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each village and town and ward of the district. The non census data comprise of data on availability of various civic amenities and infrastructural facilities etc. at the town and village level which constitute Village Directory and Town Directory part of the DCHB. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at grass-root level.

    In 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 into it. 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. 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.

    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.

    The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details and the data of each town have been presented viz.; (i)-Status and Growth History of towns,(ii)- Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii)-Civic and other Amenities, (iv)-Medical Facilities, (v)-Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi)- Industry & Banking, and (vii)- Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 census as presented in earlier census. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract. Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census.

    Brief history of the district

    Barddhaman district is geographically a transition zone between the Jharkhand plateau which forms a shield in the west and the GangaBrahmaputra alluvial plains in the north and east. Towards south the alluvial plains merge with DamodarKasain-Subarnarekha deltaic plains. Owing to its position and natural advantages the region is believed to be the seat of settled civilization from pre-historic times. As noted in the Burdwan District Gazetteer by C. K. Patterson (1905), the country with its ever changing courses of the rivers Damodar, Ajay and Ganga, is recorded in British chronicles as the richest tract in Bengal and the area of its oldest and most settled cultivation.

    The name of the district is attributed by some historians to the 24th Jain Tirthankar Vardhaman Swami Mahaveer who came to preach Jainism in the area. Alternatively its name came from the word Bardhaman which means a prosperous and growing centre and the district was the frontier zone in the way of progress of Aryanisation from the upper Gangetic valley. The first epigraphic reference to its name is found in a 6th century AD copper plate found in the village of Mallasarul under Galsi Police Station.

    The history of Barddhaman is traced to about the Late Stone Ageor Mesolithic Age in the excavations of 1954 and 1957. The excavations at Pandu Rajar Dhibi revealed that the people lived in planned towns with houses built of unfired clay and reinforced with reeds and having plastered walls. They knew the use of copper and their principal occupation were agriculture and trade.

    In early historical times, epigraphic evidence show Barddhaman as a famous bhukti or revenue tract and a part of Radh ruled successively by the Magadhas, Mauryas, Kushanas and the Guptas. In the initial 6th century while Sasanka was ruler, this region was included in the empire of Gour.

    The history of the district is blank from the middle of the 7th century till the rise of the Pala dynasty. The Khalimpur copper plate of Dharampal, the son of Gopala-I - the first Pala ruler, states that Gopala-I was elected king by the people of the country to save themselves from state of anarchy and invaders. After thedeath of Rampal, the last great ruler of the Palasat around 1130 A.D., the Sena dynasty came to power. Vijaysena was the first Sena king according to the Deopar inscriptions. The Govindapur copper plate inscriptions clearly indicate Bardhamanbhukti as under the control of Lakshmansena. Before the beginning of Muslim invasion the Sadgop dynasty of Gopbhum was a powerful community and this time provideda glimpse of a prominent settlement. The name of one ruler of this dynasty Mahendranath or locally known Mahindi Raja still survives. However it was the Khetri Maharajas(kings) who ruled Barddhaman for a long time and provided a resistance to the Muslims as far as possible.

    The history of this region during the medieval period is distinct following the invasion by Muslim rulers. The first Muslim invasion took place during the reign of Lakshmansena by the Pathan ruler Bakhtiyar Khilji in 1199 AD. He captured northern and eastern side of Barddhaman. Subsequently the greater part of Bengal gradually came under the control of Muslim Governors who ruled at Gaur or Laknauti. During this period a splendid military road was built from Gaur and Rajmahal to Medinipur and Cuttack. The celebrated poet Ruparam who composed Dhramamangal lived at this time. In 1567, Suleman Karnani captured the western part of the district. His son Daud came to war with Todarmal, the Diwan(Prime Minister) of Bengal appointed by the Mughal ruler in Delhi. This war made the area famous in the history of Bengal.

  • 10

    After several such engagements over the years with Daud and his son Kuttu, finally in 1590, we find the mention of Barddhaman in the Ain-i-Akbari as a mahal or pargana of Sarcar Sharifabad assessed at 1,876,142 dams.

    In 1606 the famous Sher Afghan, the superintendent of district under Mughal Subedar of Bengal was attacked and slain just outside the town of Barddhaman under order of Jehangir who wanted to marry Sher Afghans wife, the beautiful Mehrunnessa. After Sher Afghans death Mehrunnessa was taken by Jehangir as his consort and named Noor Jehan or Light of the World. The unmerited misfortune of Sher Afghan, a Turkish gentleman of noble origin, his lofty character and courage and the beauty and exalted destiny of his wife render their story perhaps one of the most romantic in the history of Mughal Emperors.

    In 1622 when Jehangirs son Khurram, later Shah Jahan rebelled against his father, he acquired the fort of Barddhaman by force.

    After the death of Aurangzeb, the Mughal Empire became weak and Murshid Quli Khan became the Nawab(King) of Bengal. Although he owed suzerainty to the Mughals, he was an independent ruler for all practical purposes. Under him, Barddhaman was referred to as chakla instead of parganaas used by the Mughals.

    Shortly afterwards the great Burdwan (anglicised version of Barddhaman) House rose to power and henceforth its history became identical with that of the district. Raja Krishnarama Rai was the founder of the Raj family. He obtained a farman (royal decree) from Aurangzeb in 1689 AD by which he was made the Zamindar(land lord) and Chowdhury of Bardhaman. Even today, the large water tanks excavated by him viz. Krishnasayar (Krishna Sagar) and that excavated by his father Ghanshyam Rai viz. Shyamsayar (Shyam Sagar) stand in the heart of Barddhaman town. Raja Chitrasen Rai was the most powerful king of the Raj family. He built the famous Siddheswari temple at Kalna.

    By 1740 Bengal saw the first onslaught of the Maratha invader or bargis who arrived to plunder the region. Time and again they had skirmishes with Alivardi Khan the Nawab of BengalBiharOrissa. They briefly held a certain part of the country especially the part near the Bhagirathi river at Katwa and proceeded to lootthe country and destroy crops. They committed unspeakable atrocities on the people which are documented in the literature of that period. Finally in 1751 Alivardi Khan conceded to pay a chauth(tribute) of 12 lakh rupees annually as a truce.

    Alivardi Khan died in 1756 and his successor was the weak and dissolute Siraj-ud-Daulah. Nevertheless, Siraj-ud-Daulah confronted the British led by Robert Clive in the Battle of Plassey in 1756. He lost the battle made famous as the first decisive victory of the British in its conquest of India and also by the treachery of Siraj-ud-Daulahs army General Mir-Jafar. Mir-Jafar was made the Nawab by the British only to be ousted again and replaced by his nephew Mir-Qasim, again a British stooge. By 1760 the fertile district of Barddhaman alongwith Medinipur and Chittagong was ceded to the East India Company. The Rajas of Barddhaman did not take this down very well and British accounts are full of various rebellions and acts of insolence on their part.

    The Famine of 1770 remains one of the greatest horrors that the region experienced. One-third population of the country was wiped out. A graphic account of the conditions is given in Hunters Annals of Rural Bengal.

    Under the Permanent Settlement of 1793,Raja Tejchand entered into an agreement to pay a revenue of Rs. 40,15,109/- and in addition pulbandi(tank repairing charges) of Rs. 1,93,721/-. But like other zamindari estates of Bengal, dismemberment of the Barddhaman estate started soon and in 1797 the British Board of Revenue ordered sale of portions of the zamindari for realisation of arrears of

  • 11

    revenue. Finally it led to the near ruin of the once powerful and influential authority of the Rajas of Barddhaman.

    In 1857, the British Crown took over the administration of the country from the East India Company. During Indias freedom struggle the people of Bardshaman were actively involved. They reacted sharply to the Partition of Bengal in 1905. A number of Bandhs(strike) were observed. Students were expelled for chanting Bande Mataram. A national school was opened in Kalna in 1908. The Khilafat Movement also spread among the Muslims of the region. A hartal(strike) was observed throughout the district on 18th March 1923. National leader like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose paid a visit to Barddhaman in December 1931 and addressed a meeting. The conditions were such that Bengal Public Security Act 1932 was promulgated in the Asansol Sub-division. Kazi Nazrul Islam, the noted Bengali poet, was born in Churulia in Raniganj. Political agitation continued in various forms till the eve of Independence.

    (v) Urban Local Bodies : The history of urban local bodies dates back in India to Indus Valley

    Civilisation. In modern India it originated during British rule when in 1687 the first Municipal Corporation was set up at Madras under a charter granted by James II. There are different types of municipal bodies, namely, Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, Notified Area Committees, Cantonment Boards etc. Except the Cantonment Boards all other types are created under State municipal laws. Cantonment Boards owe their origin to a Central Act called the Cantonment Act, 1924. A municipality is a body politic and legal entity, constituted by a Statutory Act. Municipal Corporations constitute the highest or topmost form of urban local governments and are created for big cities by the enactment of state legislatures or of Parliament in case of union territories. A Notified Area Committee is created for an area which does not fulfil all the conditions lay down as necessary for the constitution of a municipality or it may also be created for newly developing towns or areas.The councils of all these corporate bodies except notified area comprise of elected, opted and associate members. The notified area is governed by the state governments through a body nominated by it. The primary object of every urban local body is to provide civic amenities to the people and the overall development of the town.

    The oldest municipality in the district is Barddhaman Municipality itself which was formed in 1865. In the year 1869 three more municipalities were formed, namely, Kalna, Katwa and Dainhat respectively. The Raniganj Municipality was established in the year 1876 and the Asansol Municipality (now Municipal Corporation) was constituted in the year 1896. The Durgapur Notified Area Authority (now Municipal Corporation) was constituted in 1962. Guskara Municipality was formed in the decade of the eighties. Kulti Municipality came into being as per govt. notification dated 08.09.93. Jamuria became a new municipality as per govt. notification dated 27.12.95.

    Brief Note on Primary Census Abstract

    Introduction: The Indian Census has the reputation of being one of the best in the world. The first Census in India was conducted in the year 1872. This was conducted at different points of time in different parts of the country. In 1881 a Census was taken for the entire country simultaneously. Since then, Census has been conducted every ten years, without a break. Thus, the Census of India 2011 was the fifteenth in this unbroken series since 1872, the seventh after independence and the second census of the third millennium and twenty first century. The census has been uninterruptedly continued despite of several adversities like wars, epidemics, natural calamities, political unrest, etc.

    The Census of India is conducted under the provisions of the Census Act 1948 and the Census Rules, 1990. In Censuses until 1931, a synchronous de-facto method was adopted wherein the Census was conducted throughout the country on a single night. This being a very costly affair and involved the deployment of very large force at one point of time was given up in 1941. Since then the same methodology has been followed in all the Censuses. It is a gigantic operation and considered to be the single largest, complex, peace time administrative exercise in the world.

    The Census Operation in India is carried out in two distinct but inter connected phases - the House listing and Housing Census followed by the Population Enumeration. During the first phase of Census 2011 i.e., House listing and Housing Census, the buildings, census houses and households were identified and systematically listed in the House Listing and Housing Census Schedule during the period April to September, 2010 in different States/Union Territories. Apart from listing of houses, some useful data on the amenities available to the households was also collected for assessing condition of human settlements, housing deficits etc.

    Censuses prior to Census 2001 had the system of collecting the information through Individual Slip which was a key schedule for every individual. The information collected through slip was then compiled for a household. Some information was also collected in addition to this for the household. During 2001 Census a comprehensive Household Schedule was adopted replacing the individual slip concept. In 2011 Census also similar household schedule was used for canvassing. The scope of demographic, socio-economic parameters has been widened in every census.

    2. Population Enumeration - Census 2011:

    The field work of the second phase i.e. Population Enumeration was carried out during February-March, 2011. One of the essential features of Population Enumeration in the second phase was that each person was enumerated and her/his individual particulars were collected at a well-defined point of time.

  • 19

    The Census moment and the reference date for the Census of India 2011 was 00:00 hours of 1st March, 2011. The enumeration was conducted from 9th February to 28th February, 2011 along with a revisional round from 1st March, 2011 to 5th March, 2011 synchronously all over the country except for few specific areas of the Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand states that remain snowbound in February. In these locations the population enumeration was done from 11th September, 2010 to 30th September, 2010 along with a revisional round from 1st October, 2010 to 5th October, 2010. The reference date for the census in snow bound non-synchronous areas of these states was 00.00 hours of the first day of October, 2010. In addition to the coverage during House listing & Housing Census, the enumeration of the Houseless population was carried out on the night of 28th February, 2011, as has been the usual practice. For the purpose of Census, certain areas where the access of the civilian enumerators was not permissible due to security reasons termed as Special Charges such as the Defence and strictly Military/Para-Military areas, including operational areas were also covered. Such areas were not covered during the House listing & Housing Census. In addition to the defence/para-military areas, Special Charges also included certain factory areas, certain colonies, sensitive areas, scientific establishments, etc. These also formed Special Charges as these were not accessible by the usual census enumerator.

    3. Quality Assurance: A Task Force for Quality Assurance (TFQA) functioned under the chairmanship of the RG & CCI. Experienced officers of the different divisions of the organization i.e. Heads and senior officers of the Census Division, Data Processing Division, Map Division, Demography Division and Social Studies Division comprised the TFQA. The Directors of Census Operations were co-opted as members whenever the TFQA discussed the data for their States/Union territories. The main objective of constituting the TFQA was to subject the data to stringent validation checks and ensure its quality before release as it was expedient to be satisfied itself about the quality of data before putting the same in public domain.

    The Directors and their senior officers were involved at all levels with respect to the quality and the coverage of their states/Uts. The TFQA intensively scrutinized coverage and content parameters including edit and imputation logic. The most important aspect of the data quality was to ensure complete coverage of all geographical areas especially for the population enumeration phase where the data is disseminated right up to the village level in the rural areas and the ward level in the urban areas. Thus ensuring the complete coverage and correct geographical linkage of each enumeration block was one of the major planks of the quality control, especially for small area population statistics. The content was scrutinized mainly through the process of internal consistency, comparison with similar data in the past and also through validation with likewise data if available, from external sources. Quite often the local knowledge and perception was looked at to understand both the existing and the new emerging trends of

  • 20

    population distribution and characteristics. A very comprehensive check and edit mechanism was put in place to objectively examine the preliminary Census 2011 Population Enumeration results and finally clear them for use. The population data was cleared only after the full possible satisfaction of the TFQA.

    The entire work relating to the data validation and scrutiny was completed by all the States/Union territories under the overall supervision and monitoring of the Census Division of the Office of the Registrar General, India with active cooperation and support of the Social Studies Division, Data Processing Division, Data Dissemination Division and Map Division.

    4. Primary Census Abstract: The Primary Census Abstract which is important publication of 2011 Census gives basic information on Area, Total Number of Households, Total Population, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes Population, Population in the age group 0-6, Literates, Main Workers and Marginal Workers classified by the four broad industrial categories, namely, (i) Cultivators, (ii) Agricultural Labourers, (iii) Household Industry Workers, and (iv) Other Workers and also Non-Workers. The characteristics of the Total Population include Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Institutional and Houseless Population and are presented by sex and rural-urban residence.

    In 1981 census main workers were presented into four categories. As regards 1991 Census, the nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given in the Primary Census Abstract. One of the important features of the Primary Census Abstract of 1991 Census was the presentation of population of the age group 0-6 which is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. All the children of age 6 years or less have been treated as illiterate even if the child is going to a school and may have picked up reading and writing. This will help the data users in better analysis and understanding of the literacy data as the literacy rate is calculated with 7 years and above population and it is referred as effective literacy rate. In 2001 and 2011 census four categories of main workers have been given in the Primary Census Abstract.

    5. Level of Presentation of PCA data in District Census Handbooks: The format of Primary Census Abstract (PCA) adopted in the DCHB of 2001 Census has been continued for 2011 Census as the data on four categories of works have been presented similar to 2001 census. The Primary Census Abstract data in different PCAs are presented at different levels. The level of presentation of Primary Census Abstracts in DCHB is as under:

  • 21

    1. District Primary Census Abstract -District/C.D. Block/Town. 2. Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Castes- District/C.D. Block/Town. 3. Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Tribes -District/C.D. Block/Town. 4. Village Primary Census Abstract -C.D. Block/Village wise. 5. Urban Primary Census Abstract- Town/Ward level.

    The PCA Data for villages was presented C.D. Block wise for the first time in

    1991 Census. This practice is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. The term Total Population includes the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, the Institutional and the Houseless populations. An appendix to District Primary Census Abstract has also been furnished showing urban enumeration block-wise particulars on Total Population, the Scheduled Castes Population and the Scheduled Tribes Population for each town. 6. Area Figures: The area figures supplied by local revenue authorities of the district in respect of tahsils, Police Stations and by the local bodies in respect of towns are given in square kilometers. The area figures of the villages supplied by the Tahsildars in acres have been converted and shown in hectares. The area figures of the C.D. Block are the total of the village areas coming under each C.D. Block. The area figures for the district are the same as adopted by the Surveyor General of India to maintain uniformity at the national level.
