FOREWORD

The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of theCensus Organization since 1951. It contains both Census and non Census data of

urban and rural areas for each District. The Census data provide information ondemographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the lowest

administrative unit i.e. of each Village and Town and ward of the District. ThePrimary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census dataincluding 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 isin the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on variousinfrastructure 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 wereclosed 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 theDCHB 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 basedon 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 thePCA 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 Directorywere added. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought

together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the distance inbroad 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 1991Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrialclassification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrialclassification 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 datausers 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 importantinnovations 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 improvedby 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 widenedby including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly

added amenities are: Pre-Primary School, Engineering College, Medical College,Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-formal Training Centre, Special Schoolfor Disabled, Community Health Centre, Veterinary Hospital, Mobile Health Clinic,

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

6. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-Acontains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wisePrimary 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 andcomputerized under the supervision of Smt Y.V Anuradha, IAS., Director of CensusOperation, Andhra Pradesh.

Preface

The District Census handbooks (DCHBs) is brought out in each decennial census

since 1951 containing Village and Town Directory, Village & Town wise Primary

Census Abstract (PCA) and data on “amenities” for each village and town in the

district. The objective of publishing the DCHB is to place the data collected at

census along with the data on amenities at Village and Town level, collected from

Tahsildars/Municipal Commissioners. The amenities data is validated by comparing

with secondary data obtained from Heads of the Departments. For example,

information on schools was compared with data available with the Commissioner,

School Education and information on post offices was compared with data obtained

from the Chief Post Master General and so on. Validation of data in the above

manner was by no means an easy exercise. Scores of officials had put in grueling

efforts for months together.

Generally, the District Census Hand Book contains two parts i.e., Part A & Part B.

Part A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains data on Village and

Town Primary Census Abstract along with Housing amenities. This time both Part-A

and Part-B volumes will be published separately for each district.

The present volume deals with the Part-B of the DCHB and comprises broadly:

History and scope of the DCHB, Brief History of the district, Administrative setup,

District highlights, Important Statistics of the District, Brief note of Primary Census

Abstract, Appendix to District Primary Census Abstract i.e., Urban block wise

figures of Total, SC & ST Population, Rural PCA, Urban PCA, Housing Amenities

etc., of 2011 Census of India.

The District Census Handbook is further enriched with a district and Sub-district

(Mandal) maps depicting villages/towns with population size and also amenities

such as educational Institutions, Hospitals, Telegraph and Telephone facilities,

Banks etc.

I am grateful to the Chief Secretary, Principal Secretaries, Secretaries, District

Collectors, Municipal Commissioners, Tahsildars and senior officials of the

authentic details of census and non-census information from village andtown level to district level. The District Census Handbook was firstlyintroduced during the 1951 Census. It contains both census and noncensus data of urban as well as rural areas for each district. The census

data contain several demographic and socio-economic characteristics of thelowest administrative unit i.e. of each village and town and ward of thedistrict. The non census data comprise of data on availability of various civicamenities 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 directoryincluding Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related tovillage and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C

comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tablesand certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect ofvillages. The 1981 census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-Acontained 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 alongwith restructuring of the formats of village and town directory were added

into it. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were broughttogether and if any amenity was not available in the referent village, thedistance 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-foldindustrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold

industrial classification presented in the 1981 census. In addition, sex wisepopulation 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 allchildren below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of1991 census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 census was the

Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of villagedirectory and PCA data instead of the traditional tahsil/taluk/PS levelpresentation.

As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was

improved by including some other amenities like banking, recreational andcultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodity’

manufactured in a village in addition to prescribed facilities of earliercensuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and itscoverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of ‘notified

slums’.

The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has beenwidened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of2001. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details andthe data of each town have been presented viz.; (i) Status and Growth

History of towns, (ii) Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii) Civic andother Amenities, (iv) Medical Facilities, (v) Educational, Recreational &Cultural Facilities, (vi) Industry & Banking, and (vii) Civic & otheramenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and

Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 census as presented inearlier census. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two

parts, Part-A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B containsVillage and Town wise Primary Census Abstract. Both the Parts have beenpublished in separate volumes in 2011 Census.

Brief History of the District

Anantapur district is one among the " ceded districts " (of the present

"Rayalaseema" belt) and this whole area was trodden by great rulers such

as Vikramaditya, Mallik Kafur, Harihara Raya and Bukka Raya, Shivaji,

Hyder Ali, Tippu Sultan and finally by Sir Thomas Munro himself. All of

these great personalities had left their footprints to be explored andunderstood by posterity. Each one had so played his part that the history of

this area unfolds like the memory of human mind, from the sub-conscious

to the conscious state, i.e., from the forgotten part of this area has already

any land marks, very little was recorded, is not sufficient to make a

continuous story and it remains so, until, some enterprising explorer

unearth the part and places before (the eager students of history) the story

of this part of India until then one has to be context with the more recent

occurrences which lend themselves to a continuous narratives of the history

of what now comprises Anantapur district.

Between the remote part and the earliest historical facts, there is wide gulf.

The first tangible piece of historical evidence is furnished by the rock edicts

of Asoka in the west of erstwhile Rayadurg taluk. Their data is about 258

B.C. but as Asoka sent proselyting missions to foreign countries, their

existence does not reveal much, except that this area formed part of Asoka's

Empire.

Four hundred years later, a copper plate grant of Chalukya King

Vikramaditya-I (655-680 A.D) described Ratnagiri in the erstwhileMadakasira taluk as being the "District of the Nalas". The presumption,

therefore, is that, this tribe must at one time have ruled at least that corner

of Anantapur district.

Three inscriptions of Vikramaditya-VI, a ruler of the western Chalukya

dynasty were discovered on the rocks at the top of the Gooty fort. They

suggest the possibility that the western Chalukyas might have ruled in this

area during the 11th and 12th centuries. Towards the end of the 12th

century, these Werstern Chalukyas seemed to have been over thrown by two

of their feudatories, the Hoyasala - Ballalas and the Yadavas. This

possibility is supported by a couple of inscriptions one of which dated 1205

A.D., recorded a gift by the Hoyasala King to a temple and the other

inscription recorded the capture of Gooty by the same king.

The early 14th century was a period of Muslim invasion from the north

which seriously threatened the existence of the Hindu dominions in the

south; Allauddin Khilji's troops under the command of his able General,


19/62510

Mallik Kafur swept into the Deccan, Captured Warangal and a few other

places. Both the Hoyasalas and the Yadavas fell before his onslaught.

On account of the rivalries and jealousies amongst the conquerors, there

could not be any settled form of administration in the occupied areas. In

the confusion that followed, it was not difficult for the local Hindu chieftains

to carve out a kingdom for themselves with its capital near Hampi. This was

the nucleus of the famous Vijayanagar empire which for two centuries

successfully stemmed the tide of Muslim advance. The main architects of

this empire were two brothers namely, Harihara Raya and Bukka Raya who

after the fall of Warangal, fled from that city in 1323 A.D. and took services

under the Raja of the fort of Anegundi on the banks of river Thungabhadra,

near the present village of Hampi in Bellary district of Karnataka. There

they rose respectively to the position of Minister and Treasurer. In 1334

A.D. Raja was attacked by Mohammad Bin Tuglak of Delhi. The Raja andmost of his followers died in combat. A Governor was then appointed by the

Delhi King to rule the occupied area. The country side, however, rose

against the new ruler and eventually Mohammad Bin Tuglak, finding events

not too favourable restored the principality to the Hindus and made the two

brothers Harihara Raya and Bukka Raya who had previously been minister

and treasurer, as King and Minister. The next year, Harihara built the

famous Vijayanagar city. Hence forward the territorial expansion of this

Kingdom was achieved with such extraordinary rapidity that the whole of

south India was ruled by Bukka-I, the brother and successor of Harihara.Almost all the other Hindu feudatories paid tribute to this Kingdom. Bukka

was succeeded by his son Harihara-II in 1379 A.D., who assumed the title

of 'King of Kings' and ruled an extensive area. Inscription of his time were

found in Mysore, Dharwar, Conjeevaram, Chingleput and Tiruchirapalli.

Meanwhile, the Muslim Bahmani Kingdom established in 1347 A.D., with its

capital at Gulbarga, had extended its territory as far south as the Krishna

River and for the next 135 years constantly opposed the expansionist

policies of the Vijayanagar Kings.

The decline of the Vijayanagar Empire commenced from the Reign of

Achyuta Raya (1530-1542 A.D.) who was described as both a coward and a

tyrant. He alienated his best friends by his violent despotism till finally

Rama Raja, Tirumala and Venkatadri, all three brothers combined and took

away effective power from his hands. Rama Raja was virtually the King of

Vijayanagar during the last part of Achyuta's reign and also during the

reign of the next ruler Sadasiva.

Traces of the Vijayanagar rule were found mostly in the Bellary district. In

Anantapur district they built some of the fortifications at Gooty and


20/62511

Penukonda now not easily distinguishable. The inscriptions, here and there

(for example at Tadpatri) reveal that they endowed and beautified temples.

Beyond this, the district was not much benefited by the Vijayanagar rule.

Fearing the further growth of power and influence of the Vijayanagar

Empire, the Muslim kings and Chieftains shelved their mutual rivalries,

formed into a general league of the faithful and marched against the

Vijayanagar King. On the Christmas Day in the year 1564 A.D. their

advance was halted near the town and the fortress of Talikota, 25 miles (40

kms.) north of the river Krishna. After a few skirmishes, the famous battle

of Talikota was fought on the 23rd January, 1565 A.D. It was one of the

most decisive battles ever fought in the history of south India. The

Vijayanagar army was defeated and the troops seized by panic, broke and

fled, after suffering heavy losses. Rama Raja and Venkatadri were slain the

battle. Tirumala the only surviving brother, hastily returned to Vijayanagarand together with the puppet king Sadasiva fled to the hill fort of

Penukonda. The fleeing monarch with a few followers took with him a

convoy of 550 elephants laden with treasure in the shape of gold, diamonds

and precious stones valued at more than 100 million sterling and also the

state insignia and the celebrated jeweled throne.

The city of Vijayanagar which was thus left undefended was destroyed by

the invaders so completely that it could never again be inhabited. Hence

Penukonda became the capital, with the fort as its stronghold. Decayrapidly over took the remains of the Vijayanagar Empire. The nobles who

ruled the outlying provinces threw away their allegiance and declared

themselves independent and plunged the greater part of the country into

anarchy.

At Penukonda, Sadasiva remained a king in name until 1568 A.D. when he

was murdered by Tirumala who usurped the throne. He was succeeded in

1575 A.D. by his son Ranga, who shortly afterwards transferred his capital

to Chandragiri. Ranga was followed in 1586 A.D. by his brother Venkata

who ruled till 1614 A.D. At his death there were widespread revolts,disturbances and other conflicts which finally brought the Vijayanagar

power virtually to an end.

Meanwhile, the Muslim Kings had gradually extended their hold over the

area. At first their mutual jealousies and animosities had prevented them

from reaping to the full fruits of their victory at Talikota; some of the

Vijayanagar fortresses still remained in possession of the local Governors of

the Empire. But eventually the Kings of Bijapur and Ahmadnagar agreed to

take different lines of conquest, so that their operations might not clash.

The Bijapur kings proceeded to invade the south of the Krishna, including


21/62512

Bellary and Anantapur districts. In 1577 A.D. he appeared at Penukonda

but due to the deceit practised by a part of his army, the expedition was

not a success. In 1589 A.D. the king of Golconda invaded this area and, in

spite of plucky resistance defeated the enemy and conquered Penukonda,

Gooty and the rest of Anantapur district.

For some years the Maharata power was slowly gained ground in the west of

the Peninsula. In 1677 A.D., Shivaji, the famous Maharata Chief visited the

Deccan later taking most of the possessions held by the King of Bijapur in

the Carnatic. And finally in 1680 A.D. the rights held by the Bijapur King

over this part of the country were also made over to the Maharatas.

However in 1687 A.D., Moghal Emperor Aurangazeb reduced the Maharatas

to obedience, overthrow their rule within this district and added to the

Mughal Subah of Bijapur.

In 1723 A.D. the Nizam of Hyderabad, one of the Governors of the Mughal

Empire, made himself independent and ruled over his province, which

included Anantapur district. His power was, however, nominal. The

Maharatas continued to had the dominant influence and collected tribute

and taxes from the poligars.

Morari Rao, the famous Maharata adventurer established himself at Gooty

in 1746 A.D. obtained possession of Penukonda, exacted tribute from the

local poligars and made himself the architect of the destinies of the people

living in this district. Hydar Ali of Mysore, later, captured the forts of

Penukonda and Madakasira from Morari Rao and finally in 1775 A.D.,

captured Gooty itself imprisoned Morari Rao and reduced the Poligars to

submission. Hydar Ali died in 1782 A.D. and was succeeded by Tipu. The

later was defeated in 1792 A.D. by a combination of the English, the

Maharatas, the Nizam and by the treaty, of that year he was made to cede

half of his territories to this strange combination of allies. By this treaty,

and the treaty of 1799 A.D., the later following the third Mysore war and the

death of Tipu, the whole of the area which now comprises the district of

Anantapur fell to the share of the Nizam. In 1800 A.D. the Nizam agreed tocede to the English all the territories acquired by him under these two

treaties of 1792 and 1799 A.D. in return for a subsidiary force to be

stationed in these dominions. Anantapur district together with Bellary and

YSR districts and a part of Kurnool district thus passed into the hands of

the British.

After the transfer of this territory to the British in 1800 A.D., Major Munro

who was selected to govern this area as the "Principal Collector" choose

Anantapur as his headquarters. He directly held charge of the taluks which

now form the Anantapur district and also the erstwhile Rayadurg taluk. The


22/62513

rest of the new territory was administered by sub Collectors subordinate to

Munro. The year after the departure of Munro in 1807 A.D. this area was

divided into the two Collectorates of Bellary and YSR and finally in1882 A.D.

Bellary was once again bifurcated into the districts of Bellary and

Anantapur. Unlike YSR district, this district did not present any formidableproblems. The poligars living in this district were not troublesome lot and

soon came under effective control. A few who tried to give trouble were dealt

with severely. On only one occasion was these any open resistence to the

British authority. In 1804 A.D. a conspiracy was formed to seize Gooty and

Adoni forts and to install Kudritullah Khan, son of Basalat Jung, the former

jagirdar of Adoni, as ruler in that area. This plot failed and as a result

there were no further attempts to upset British authority.

After this, the political history of Anantapur district like the history of the

rest of the well administered part of the Madras presidency remaineduneventful till the National struggle for independence came to wake it up

from its peaceful slumber. Anantapur too like the rest of the Nation

responded to its call and joined the hands in the freedom movement. Among

the popular political leaders of the district who played a prominent role in

the freedom struggle, a few names that can be mentioned are those of Sri

Kallur Subba Rao and Sri N. Sanjeeva Neelam reddy the then Chief Minister

of Andhra Pradesh, Speaker of Lok Sabha and President of India

Brief Note on Primary Census Abstract

Introduction:

The Indian Census has the reputation of being one of the best in the world. Thefirst Census in India was conducted in the year 1872. This was conducted atdifferent points of time in different parts of the country. In 1881 a Census was takenfor the entire country simultaneously. Since then, Census has been conducted everyten years, without a break. Thus, the Census of India 2011 was the fifteenth in thisunbroken series since 1872, the seventh after independence and the second censusof the third millennium and twenty first century. The census has beenuninterruptedly 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 1948and the Census Rules, 1990. In Censuses until 1931, a synchronous de-factomethod was adopted wherein the Census was conducted throughout the country ona single night. This being a very costly affair and involved the deployment of verylarge force at one point of time was given up in 1941. Since then the samemethodology has been followed in all the Censuses. It is a gigantic operation andconsidered to be the single largest, complex, peace time administrative exercise inthe world.

The Census Operation in India is carried out in two distinct but interconnected phases - the House listing and Housing Census followed by thePopulation Enumeration. During the first phase of Census 2011 i.e., House listingand Housing Census, the buildings, census houses and households were identifiedand systematically listed in the House Listing and Housing Census Schedule duringthe 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 wasalso 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 outduring February-March, 2011. One of the essential features of PopulationEnumeration in the second phase was that each person was enumerated andher/his individual particulars were collected at a well-defined point of time.


32/62523

The Census moment and the reference date for the Census of India 2011 was 00:00hours of 1st March, 2011. The enumeration was conducted from 9th February to28th 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 donefrom 11th September, 2010 to 30th September, 2010 along with a revisional roundfrom 1st October, 2010 to 5th October, 2010. The reference date for the census insnow bound non-synchronous areas of these states was 00.00 hours of the first dayof October, 2010. In addition to the coverage during House listing & HousingCensus, the enumeration of the Houseless population was carried out on the nightof 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 dueto security reasons termed as ‘Special Charges’ such as the Defence and strictlyMilitary/Para-Military areas, including operational areas were also covered. Suchareas were not covered during the House listing & Housing Census. In addition tothe defence/para-military areas, Special Charges also included certain factory areas,certain colonies, sensitive areas, scientific establishments, etc. These also formedSpecial Charges as these were not accessible by the usual census enumerator.

3. Quality Assurance:

A Task Force for Quality Assurance (TFQA) functioned under thechairmanship of the RG & CCI. Experienced officers of the different divisions of theorganization i.e. Heads and senior officers of the Census Division, Data ProcessingDivision, Map Division, Demography Division and Social Studies Division comprised

the TFQA. The Directors of Census Operations were co-opted as members wheneverthe TFQA discussed the data for their States/Union territories. The main objectiveof constituting the TFQA was to subject the data to stringent validation checks andensure its quality before release as it was expedient to be satisfied itself about thequality of data before putting the same in public domain.

The Directors and their senior officers were involved at all levels with respectto the quality and the coverage of their states/Uts. The TFQA intensively scrutinizedcoverage and content parameters including edit and imputation logic. The mostimportant aspect of the data quality was to ensure complete coverage of allgeographical 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 inthe urban areas. Thus ensuring the complete coverage and correct geographicallinkage of each enumeration block was one of the major planks of the qualitycontrol, especially for small area population statistics. The content was scrutinizedmainly through the process of internal consistency, comparison with similar data inthe past and also through validation with likewise data if available, from externalsources. Quite often the local knowledge and perception was looked at tounderstand both the existing and the new emerging trends of populationdistribution and characteristics. A very comprehensive check and edit mechanismwas put in place to objectively examine the preliminary Census 2011 PopulationEnumeration results and finally clear them for use. The population data wascleared only after the full possible satisfaction of the TFQA.


33/62524

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 Censusgives 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 broadindustrial 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-urbanresidence.

In 1981 census main workers were presented into four categories. As regards1991 Census, the nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been givenin the Primary Census Abstract. One of the important features of the PrimaryCensus Abstract of 1991 Census was the presentation of population of the agegroup 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 betteranalysis and understanding of the literacy data as the literacy rate is calculated with7 years and above population and it is referred as effective literacy rate. In 2001 and2011 census four categories of main workers have been given in the Primary CensusAbstract.

5. Level of Presentation of PCA data in District Census Handbooks:

The format of Primary Census Abstract (PCA) adopted in the DCHB of 2001 Censushas 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 indifferent PCAs are presented at different levels. The level of presentation of PrimaryCensus Abstracts in DCHB is as under:

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.


34/62525

The PCA Data for villages was presented C.D. Block wise for the first time in1991 Census. This practice is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. The term ‘TotalPopulation’ includes the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, the Institutionaland the Houseless populations. An appendix to District Primary Census Abstracthas also been furnished showing urban enumeration block-wise particulars on Total

Population, the Scheduled Castes Population and the Scheduled Tribes Populationfor each town.

6. Area Figures:

The area figures supplied by local revenue authorities of the district in respectof tahsils, Police Stations and by the local bodies in respect of towns are given insquare kilometers. The area figures of the villages supplied by the Tahsildars inacres have been converted and shown in hectares. The area figures of the C.D. Blockare the total of the village areas coming under each C.D. Block. The area figures forthe district are the same as adopted by the Surveyor General of India to maintainuniformity at the national level.
