Rohtak, India has experienced significant urban growth and land use changes from 1983 to 2010. The city's population grew from 125,000 in 1971 to nearly 500,000 by 2010 as the city transitioned from a town to a municipal corporation. During this period, agricultural land decreased by 35 square kilometers as land was converted for residential, industrial, and other urban uses. Residential areas grew the most, increasing by nearly 16 square kilometers. The city's planned development has been guided by regional plans that designated Rohtak as a regional center to accommodate population growth through urban expansion.
The document discusses India's diverse demographics and the definitions of rural and urban areas used in Indian censuses. It notes that India has over 2000 ethnic groups and major religions represented. It also explains that rural areas are defined as villages, while urban areas must have a population over 5,000, density over 400 per square km, and at least 75% of males working in non-agriculture. Census data from 2001 is presented showing the rural-urban population distribution in India.

Motors use electromagnetic induction to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. AC motors have a stationary stator and rotating rotor that interact via magnetic fields generated by alternating currents. DC motors consist of an armature winding and stator winding, with the armature acting as the rotor. Motor starters are used to control motor speed and current during starting to prevent damage. Common motor starters include magnetic, full-voltage, reversing, reduced-voltage, and solid-state starters. Reduced-voltage starters gradually apply voltage during starting for smoother acceleration.
A DC motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using the principles that a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force. It has a stator that houses field windings and a rotor that rotates. There are different types of DC motors including separately excited, series, shunt, and compound motors. Series motors have high starting torque but low speed regulation while shunt motors have low starting torque but good speed regulation, making each suitable for different applications.
1) The document discusses the key parts of a DC generator, including the yoke, pole core, field coils, armature core, armature winding, commutator, brushes and brush holders, and bearings.
2) It describes the function of each part, with the yoke providing a low reluctance path for magnetic flux, the field coils producing flux when excited, the armature winding placed in slots on the armature core, and the commutator facilitating current collection from the armature conductors.
3) The class covered the purpose of each generator component and conducted a quiz to test comprehension.
The document discusses the working principle of a DC generator. It explains that a DC generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy using electromagnetic induction. When a conductor moves through a magnetic field, an induced current is generated based on Faraday's law of induction. The direction of the induced current can be determined using Fleming's right hand rule. The document then describes how a rectangular loop of conductor rotating inside a magnetic field cuts the magnetic flux, generating an induced current that changes direction based on the loop's position. A commutator is used to ensure the output current flows continuously in one direction to the load.
The document discusses the universal motor, which can operate on both AC and DC power. It has a series-wound construction similar to a DC motor but with laminated magnetic components to reduce eddy currents from AC power. Universal motors are commonly used in appliances like drills, fans, and blenders because they can function using both AC household power and portable DC batteries. The document covers the construction, working principle, characteristics, and common defects of universal motors.
- A Direct On Line (DOL) starter connects the motor directly to the power supply. It consists of fuses, an isolator, contactor, and overload protection. Pressing the start button energizes the contactor coil to close the contacts and start the motor.
- A reversing DOL starter uses two contactors to reverse the motor direction by swapping the phase connections. It has separate start buttons for forward and reverse operation.
- A star-delta starter reduces starting current by initially connecting the motor in star configuration before switching to delta. This allows the motor to start smoothly before applying full voltage once up to speed.
The document provides information about DC motors, including:
- The construction of a DC motor, which includes an armature mounted on a shaft within magnetic poles that provide torque.
- How DC motors work by applying current to the armature within a magnetic field to produce rotational force, with the magnitude of force determined by Fleming's left hand rule.
- Different types of DC motor windings including series, shunt, and compound, and how they affect torque characteristics like starting torque.
- How speed can be controlled through armature or field control, and various losses that occur in DC machines.

THE GULBARGA FORT
The Gulbarga Fort is located in Gulbarga City. The fort at Gulbarga,
originally built by Raja Gulchand and afterwards strengthened by Ala-ud-
din Bahmani, is a fine work, containing 15 bastions and 26 guns, one of
which is 25 ft. long. The walls 16 cm. thick are frequently punctuated by
semi – circular bastions and surrounded by a 30m. wide moat. The Principal
gateways on the East and the West sides consist of pointed arched openings
flanked by bastions, approached by bridges across the moat. The western
entrance, however, is much more strongly fortified. Here four gates and four
well defended courts, turning several corners, are built within a hornwork of
massive wall. Throughout the fortification walls are massive and unrelieved,
yet there is a continuous parapet of merlons, raised over the gateways,
provided with narrow openings from which to fire muskets. Within the
centre of the fort, is situated a great mosque 216 ft. by 176 ft. large enough
to accommodate about five thousand worshippers and is the only one of its
kind in India built by Rafi, son of shams from Qazsvin in Iran in 1367 A.D.,
the mosque is entered from the north and has arched halls on all sides
except the west. The roof measuring 40x50m. is formed by intersecting
arches supporting small domes, which also divide the area into long bays in
the east west orientation. The plan of this mosque is unique in India and is
the sole example of a completely covered mosque devoid of any courtyard.

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
17. 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 Sri T. K. Anil Kumar, Director of Census
Operations, Karnataka. 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. Director (EDP) provided full cooperation in preparation of record
structure for digitization and validity checking of Village and Town Directory data
and the programme for the generation of Village Directory and Town Directory
including various analytical inset tables as well as Primary Census Abstract (PCA).

PREFACE
Dr. C. Chandramouli, I.A.S. the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India
has traced the history of the district Census Handbooks in the foreword to the 2011 series
of the District Census Handbooks (DCHBs). He has also succinctly explained the scope and
coverage of the District Census Handbooks. These volumes contain salient data on the
population for every village and town as revealed by 2011 Census. It also contains a wealth
of information regarding villages and towns which throw some light on the circumstances in
which people live and is therefore relevant to the data on the population. This information is
also of considerable importance in the context of planned development.
The District Census Handbook is divided into two parts: Part A - contains
information regarding each village and town (Village Directory and Town Directory – non
census data collected from various sources) and Part B – containing the population data
collected during 2011 Census - the Primary Census Abstract (PCA). The data published in
Part B was collected during February-March 2011 in the Population Enumeration.
The process of data collection for the Village Directory and Town Directory (Part A)
commenced in 2009 and the reference date is 31.12.2009. The Village Directory formats
were mailed to the Deputy Commissioners of Districts for obtaining the village wise
particulars through Village Accountants. Similarly the Town Directory formats were mailed
to the Commissioners of Corporations, Chief Officers of Town Municipal Councils, Town
Panchayats, etc. The village wise and town wise data furnished by these officers were then
examined exhaustively for consistency in reporting and comparability with the information
published in the District Census Handbooks 2001. The Household Schedules, which were
canvassed to collect the population data during 2011 Census, were scanned and data
captured was processed electronically through ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition)
Technology. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) was generated centrally on the computers
by the Office of the Registrar General, India.
In compilation of the District Census Handbooks, the Census Directorate had the
co-operation of various departments of the State/Central Government. The Census
Directorate gratefully acknowledges their co-operation.
I take this opportunity to offer my thanks to Dr. C. Chandramouli, I.A.S. the
Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India for his valuable guidance and support. I
appreciate the supervision and support given by Sri N. Manjini, Joint Director and also
thankful to all the officers and officials of this Directorate who have been relentlessly
involved in the compilation of this volume.
I am highly grateful to Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS), Dr.
R.C.Sethi, Ex-Addl. RGI, Shri Deepak Rastogi Addl. RGI. for their guidance and Shri A.P.

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’
22. 7
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
Gulbarga district encompasses a vast geographical area and as may be
expected, contains a few places of historical importance as well as a few which
finds a mention in the Hindu mythology.
In former days, Gulbarga was known as Kalburgi which means a ‘stony
land’ or ‘stone roofing’ or a ‘heap of stones’ in Kannada. Another version is that
Gulbarga was so named to connote a leaf with flower, since ‘gul’ means ‘flower’
and ‘Burg’ means ‘leave’, in the Persian language. Nothing definite is known
about the origin of the name, but this much is certain that it was known as
Kalburgi in earlier days and was later on changed to Gulbarga. Even now it is
not uncommon to hear people calling the place as Kalburgi.
During the rule of the Nizam there was practically no real administration in
the modern sense of the term. Land was given in the form of grants to nobles
and others and as security for the payment of debts to people who had
advanced money or to leaders of mercenary bands. The lands given to the
nobles were known as Paigah and that given to others were called Jagirs. Land
taken over by the Nizam from the government for failure to pay his privy purse
was known as Sarf-e-Khas and the land that remained under the government
control was called Diwani land. Each had a separate administrative machinery
of its own.
The areas directly under the government were divided into districts and
each district was in turn divided into taluks. Zillabandi, the formation of
district, was first attempted in 1863 and this constituted one of the most
remarkable reforms brought about by Salar Jung, the then Prime Minister of
Hyderabad. The first district to be then formed in this area was the Shorapur
district. This had only five taluks originally, within a decade on account of
annexations the number of taluks increased to nine and the district comprised
of Shorapur, Gulbarga, Andola, Dehgaon, Chincholi, Sedam, Kodangal,
Gurmatkal and Mahagaon(Narona). Gulbarga district as such was formed in
1873 with six taluks of the above mentioned nine. The Shorapur district was
again broken up in 1883 when Andola taluk came to be transferred to
Gulbarga district. Thus in 1901 Gulbarga district had seven taluks besides as
many as 509 Jagir villages. In 1905 there were several changes such as the
transfer of Yadgir taluk from Raichur district to Gulbarga district. Gurmatkal
and Mahagaon were divided among Sedam, Kodangal, Gulbarga and Yadgir
taluks and 73 villages from Mahabubnagar district were included in Kodangal
and Yadgir taluks. Thus, after these changes Gulbarga district consisted of
eight taluks and the five paigahs of Aland, Firozabad, Afzalpur, Kalgi, and
Chittapur and the Jagirs of Tandur and Kosgi. This position remained more or
less unaltered till, in September 1949, the Jagirs were abolished and the Sarf-
e-Khas lands too were taken away from the Nizam after payment of
compensation. In Gulbarga district four more taluks were created out of
24. 9
adjoining enclave Jagir areas. Thus, prior to the time of Reorganisation of
States in 1956 the district comprised twelve taluks namely, Gulbarga,
Chincholi, Sedam, Kodangal, Shorapur, Shahapur, Jevargi (Andola), Yadgir,
Aland, Chitapur, Afzalpur and Tandur. Of these, in 1956 the taluks of
Kodangal and Tandur were transferred to Andhra Pradesh and the rest to
Karnataka. Thereafter there has not been any change either in the external
boundaries of the district or in the boundaries of the taluks. The ten taluks of
the district are grouped into three revenue sub-division with the respective
head-quarters at Gulbarga, Sedam and Yadgir. After the formation of the new
Mysore State in 1956, Gulbarga became the the headquarters of the Revenue
Division having jurisdiction over the districts of Gulbarga, Bidar and Raichur.
In 1966 for administrative convenience Bellary district was also transferred to
Gulbarga Division.
Gulbarga was the capital of Alauddin Bahaman Shahim 1347 and
continued as capital till about 1424, when the capital was shifted to Bidar.
Even prior to 1347, Gulbarga formed a provincial seat of administration and
before the Mohammedan conquest of this region, it was included in the
territory ruled by the Kakatiyas of Warangal. The Gulbarga fort is said to have
been originally built by Raja Gulchand of Warangal and subsequently
strengthened by Alauddin Bahaman Shah, the Bahamani Sulthan. The fort
contained 15 towers and 26 guns of which one was 8 m. long. Within the
ramparts of the fort there is the imposing mosque which, spanning an area of
72 m. by 59 m., resembles the great mosque of Cordova in Spain, it
incidentally happens to be the only mosque in India which is completely roofed.
The architect of this mosque was Rafi from Quazia of Iran.
The celebrated Sufi Saint Khwaja Syed Mohammed Gewuderaz popularly
called Khwaja Bande Nawaz who was the disciple of Nasiruddin Chirag of
Delhi, came to Gulbarga in 1413. He was primarily a Persian writer and after
residing in the Deccan he mastered Urdu language. During (1422-1436 A.D.)
Ahmad Shah Bahamani conferred rich endownments on Khwaja Bande Nawaz
and even to this day the tomb of this saint stands as an imposing structure
with a good number of other tombs in the huge complex. The tomb of Khwaja
Bande Nawaz is an object of veneration for Muslims as well as the Hindus. The
tomb has fine wall of paintings. The Bahamani sultans encouraged the influx
of learned men, poets and statesmen to their capital from abroad. It later fell
into the hands of Adilshahi dynasty. Gulbarga continued its importance under
the Mughals and the Nizams. Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah, the first Nizam had it
in his dominion and the Nizam made it a district headquarter in 1873. It was
in 1956 it became part of the Karnataka State. To the north-west is the old
Fort of Gulbarga, the outer walls and the gateway areas dilapidated condition.
The other important monuments in Gulbarga are the shrine of
Sharanbasaveshwara a Veerashiva saint of the 12th century. The saints
successors run a chain of educational institution in the city so also the
successors of Bande Nawaz also run a chain of educational institutions.
Besides this, the mosque of Khalandar Khan and the Hirapur mosque
25. 10
constructed during 1585 by Chandbibi are two more important building in the
city. Shah Bazaar Masjid (mosque) is a notable monument of Bhamari period.
There are seven monuments of Bahamari princes built between 1375 to 1422
A.D. and they are called as Haft Gumbaz. The monuments at Gulbarga are
fine examples of Indo Sarasenic style. The Gulbarga city is subjected to the
administration of a municipal corporation and university is also established.

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.
34. 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
35. 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:
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.
36. 21
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.
