PREFACE

The Administrative Report has been drafted in keeping in view the past practice whereby the Director of Census Operations leaves behind a detailed report covering administrative and organi­sational matters for the benefit of the successors so that they could acquaint themselves with the problems faced by their predecessor and gain from their experience in solving such problems.

The Director of Census Operations, Tripura Shri H.M. Chou­dhury, lAS under whose guidance the entire operations were carried out, deserves all credit for the success of the operations. But he had to leave the organisation prematurely for taking up other im­portant assignment before the volume in question could be ready to be sent to the Press.

I must record my deepest sense of gratitude to Shri A. R. N anda, lAS Ex-Registrar Gen_eral, India and Shri (Dr) M. Vijoy­anunni, Registrar General, India for their valuable guidance and sincere help to us at every s!age to bring out this publication in time.

The first draft of this volume was prepared by Shri Samiran Chakraborty, Investigator. Shri Ra1l_lesh Ch. Meena, Investigator and Smt. Tan<;lra Dutta, Statistical Assistant, assisted him in sup­plying necessary related materials for drafting. I convey '91Y thanks to all of them.

The services of Shri S. Rao Bhattacharjee, U.D. Clerk for typ­mg the entire manuscript are to be given due consideration.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

I was working as the Director, Animal Husbandry Department, Govt. of Tripura, in November, 1989, when I was, called by Shri I.P. Gupta, Chief Sec,tetary, Govt. of Tnpura to be informed that the State Govern­ment had already proposed my name to Governm~nt of .India for the post of Director of Census Operations, Tnpura. A few days later, the Department of Per­sonnel. had communicated their approval through Re­gistrar General, India, by wireless message and reques­ted State Government to relieve me immediately so that I could take over by the 30th November, 1989. My initial reaction was one of diffedence by the sudden development since I feIt that without adeauate back­ground of statistics and allied subjects, I would, per­haps, not fill the bill. But considering the importance of the work of national magnitude and the challenge involved in ,the assignment, I decided to take the plunge and took over by 4th December, 1989.

On assumption of charge, I noticed that the staff was to 'some extent, in a state of hibernation. But in no time they were all geared up to the task ahead.

. The first pretest was conducted with the staff of the Directorate during November-December, 1988 in few selected blocks in the State while the second Pretest was conducted with the teachers of the State Govern­ment of Tripura in the selected blocks scattered in the different dis,tricts of the State during 19th June to 10th July, 1989.

DescriPtion of Office

At the time of my joining the Directorate there were one Deputy Director and one Assistant Director with the staff at Annexure-5. Against the sanctioned strength of 74 only 15 posts in different categories were lying vac.mt. This was so because of non-availability of staff from Staff Selection Commission. It was found that most staff of this Directora:te were aggriev­ed and were smarting under a feeling of stagnation without there being prom01ion avenues. This, per­haps, may be attributed to the faot of two seniority lis~ were applicable. One Directorate-wise and other an all India seniority list for different categories of .taff. Some of them were feeling that they were the victims of circumstances even though they are Central Government employees. Their grouse was on account of Directorate-wise seniority lists being maintained without sufficient channels for vertical expansion. It is aIllo true that maintenance of a 11 India seniority list makes· them vulnerable to the chance of being trans­ferred to a place outside Tripura, which, for obviou~ reasons, was an anathema to the junior grade.

The main ptoblem of filling up vacant posts through the direct recruitment was that Staff Selection Commis­sion made inordinate delay in recommending panel 8t'!d on most occasions failed to recommend any suit· ablo candidate despite several requisitions. The work

of vacant posts had to be managed with the existing staff. The staff in position on the date of my joining flnd later are shown in Annexure 5 and Annexure 6 respectively.

Backlog of 1981 Census

The backlog of 1981 CensWI was as follows:

1. Re-study of Fatikchhara village;

2. Publication of study of Dharmanagar & Belonia town;

3. Publication of study on Lisumphi;

4. Publication of Part-IX -Census Atlas.

1. The,ugh tbe field work was completed but the write-up was not in the final stage of completion. Since my joining I had also little time to devote my­self to the job as the preparation of Census was the sale preoccupation. The re-study of Fatikchhara village was, therefore, shelved .

2. After my joining it was brought to my notice that the field work for both the town studies of Dhar­managar town and Belonia town were completed. The tabulation and write-up portion of Dharmanagar town was also completed by the Deputy Director Shri P.D. Joshi and the typed copy of the same was forwarded to the Registrar General, India, but the tabulation work and the report fOf BeIonia town was yet to be undertaken. After quite some time it was learnt that Dharmanagar study is required to be re-drafted for some reasons. Since the Census preparatory work was on full swing and the concerned Deputy Director had already left Tripura on Itransfer, Li.e idea of re-drafting of Dharmanagar town study and drafting of Belonia to\\'1l study could not be immediately undertaken.

3. The study on Usumphi could not be completed because of shortage of materials and non-availability of few information from the grass root level.

4 Atiter my joining. I found that since 1961 no Atlas Volume for the State had been published. Al­most every time the manuscripts were prepared along with drawings but ultimately these were not p:.: bIished. 'This time the staff of Map Section were motivated to achieve the target and I also appreciated their devo· tion to the work and repeatedly pursued the m::t Lter with Registrar General, India's office and ultirr.3 tely, it came out as the 1st published 'Atlas Volume' of the State at the end of June, 1991.

As regards appointment Of Director of Census Operations, it would be opportune if the Director is in position before the 1st pretest of Census so that he may appreciate the schedules to be canvassed and suggest alterations at appropriate places and additions suiting local conditions.

CHAPTER II PREPARATORY STEPS

Circulars issued by Registrar Genera), India and Director of Census Operations

As the Dire<:tor of Census Operations, Tripura, the time-bound programme to be adhered to have been clearly spelt out in the guidelines issued by the Re­gistrar General, India e.nclosing therewith a copy of D.O. letter of Registrar General, India of 1981 Census.

The Notification of Government of India that' Cen­sus would be taken during the year 1991" the sunrise of 1st March. 1991 being the reference date, was issu­ed by the office of the Registrar General, India along with 1he notification of appointment of Shri A. R. Nanda, I.A.S. as the Census Commissioner. The Go­vernment of Tripul'a was requested by this Directorate to issue notification regarding appointment of Census Officers under the census Act, 1948 on 16th October, 1989. The same was issued on the 4th November, 1989 lAnnexure-9A). It was de<:ided that the Economic Census would be conducted along with the Houselisting operations and for this purpose in­volvement of the state Directorate of Statistics and its officers and staff was considered expedient and on that consideration the District Statistical Officer were pro­posed to be appointed as Addl. District Census Officers for tbeir respective districts and appointments were iSSUed on 9th February. 1990 (Annexure 9C).

I issued Circular No. 1 (Annexure 3) in pursuance of the guidelines issued by the Registrar General, India in Circular No. 8 (Annexure 2). This covered aU aspects of the census. like necessity of notification of Census :Officers splitting up of revenue vUlages for formation of enumerator's blocks, location codes. CemLis calendar. the duties and obligations as per ('ensus Act. . Classification of rural/urban areas fOr giving location code nuoiber. enumerator's blocks. training. charge· register et~. i.e. the duties to be dis­~harged by all· concerned have been clearly spelt out in the said circular ..

Since 1981 the Development blocks were consider­~d as the rur.a:1 charges and the revenue villages under ,the Development blecks were considered as the lOWest rural units. In i991 Census also, the same were follow­ed. Upto 1971 Census the tebsiIs were taken into con-

2

sidcration and the notional Census villages were the smallest units. A~ those villages had no proper de· marcation. the idea of including them ae; lowest unitt was left and instead the cadastrally surveyed revenuo villages were taken into consideration. The B10ck Development Officers were appointed as the Charge Office~ of their respective blocks. But the Sub-divi­sional Officers play the nodal role. in the revenue and the development set-up. besides their other activities. Actually the Block Development Offi­cers work under the direct control of Sub-divisional Officers. So it was considered expedient to appoint Sub-divisional Officers as Sub-divisional Census Offi­cers of their respective Sub-divisions. They were in the intermediary stage between Charge Officers and the District Magistrates and Collectors who were ap­pointed as District Census Officers of their respective districts. For the urban charges mostly the Head­masters ()f Higher Secondary Schools were the Charge Officers.

A list of areas such as Districts/Tehsils/Develop­ment Blocks/Police Station/Villages etc. and all towns and cities was an initial input and prerequisite for' 1991 Census. In doing so. up-to-date maps and changes in jurisdiction along with the relevant Govern­ment Notifications and orders were also necessary for going ahead with the pre.liminary works in connection with 1991 Census. The Registrar General. India took up the matter with the Chief Secretary to the State Govt. vide letter No. 9/12/87-CD(CEN) dated 24-6-87 (Annexure O. Accordingly necessary s1eps were taken.

For the conduct of 1991 Census in Tripura, the State Govt. was requested not to effe<:t any territorial change in respect of boundaries of administrative units till the 1991 Census operations were over under letter No. 9/15/89 .. CD(CEN) dated 10th May, 89 (Annexure 7).

The Director of Statistics circulated the copy of the said letter of the Registrar General, India addressed to the Chief Se<:retary for taking necessary action,

As in 1981 Census it was de<:ided that the revenue villao-es win be the smallest units in 1991 ceo-. <:" .

sus also for 'presentation of data. The Sub-division-wise lists of revenue villages were prepare(l and the same were serit to the Sub-divisional Officers in o(det" to g~t.

the lists checked and verified by the respective Sub­divisional Officers so that there may not be any omis­sion of ~my revenue village. Thus the lists of Develop­ment Block-wise revenue villages under each of the Sub-divisions were certified by the Sub-divisional Officers. As per all India pattern it was.· decided to present the data Development Block-wise next to district. Moreover the Government is more interested to know the impact of planning which could be appr~­ciated only when we could supply Development Block­wise data. The draft schedules to be canvassed during First Pretest were finalised after detailed discussion in the 1st Data Users' Conference held at New Delhi on April 18-20, 1988. The schedules thus finalised were canvassed in Tripura during 1st Pre-test exclusively with the help of the staff of this Directorate in some selected areas of the State. from 21st November to 12th December. 1988 with 10th December. 1988 as refer­ence date.

The subsequent conference of the Data Users' and the Departmental officers was held to discuss the spe­cial reports received on the pilot and pre-test exp~ri­ences and organisation of the Second Pre-test.

First Pre-tlest· in Tripora

The instruction Booklets for filling up the Individual Slip, Houselist, Household Schedule and other formS were received from the office of the Registrar General, India. All the forms and schedules to be canvassed were also supplied from the office of the Re,gistrar General, India. The first pretest was conducted in 10 selected blocks out of which 6 in rural and 4 in urban areas scattered in one district West Tripnra (Annexure 4).

_. The first Pre-test was conducted from 21st November to 12th December, 1988 exclusively with the staff of the Directorate of Census Operations, Tripura after impartin~ necessary trait ring.

Second Pre-test

The Second Pre-test in Tripura was conducted from June 19 to July 10, 1989. Besides the staff of th_' Director:lte the services of the teachers of the State Government were utilised for the purpose. The train­ing of the enumerators and supervisors was imparted in the office of this Directorate from 15th to 16th July. 89. Sri S. Chakraborty. Investigator imparted trainini to the teachers in presence of the Deputy Director. During the training in addition to the detailed discus­sion on (1) Houselisting (2) Filling up of Individual Slips the practical training of filling up the Schedules and f,orms was also conducted.

The Schedules canvassed during second Pre-test have been reproduced in the Annexure 8. These sche­dules/forms along with instruction booklets were sent to this Directorate from the office of the Registrar General, India.

A meeting with the staff of this Directorate was held after Second Pre-test to analyse the results and to analyse the mistakes which cropped up during the Second Pre-test so that such type of mistakes do not recur at the time of actual enumeration. Again a report on field experience for Second Pre-test was forwarded to R.G.I. for necessary action.

Comdou~nes5, regariling Census in the State Hierarchy

With a view to making national task like Census a su~cess the Chief Secretary of Tripura in his D.O. No. 12-145(1)/90 dated 1st March, 1990 (Annexure-9) im­pressed upon all District Magistrates, Sub-divisional Officers and Heads of Departments the necessity and importance which the Govt. attached to this important natio,nal work and requested all concerned to carry out the respective duties in connection with the Census, promptly, accurately and efficiently with care and diligence.

CHAPTER III

PREPARATION FOR THE CENSUS

As I took over only in the month of December, 1989, I had not tbe opportunity to attend the first conference of the Directors, held from 6th to 9th November. 1989. However. the Deputy Director and the Assistant Direc­tor represented the State in the conference. This con­ference devoted most of its time to the discussion on th~ concepts. procedures and organisational aspects of the Houselisting operations and the Economic Census. Some of the decisions of the first conference of Direc­tors of Census Operations were as follows: .

1. Notification of Census Hierarfhy be issued. Notification for Tripura was already is~ued on 4-11-89. (Annexure 9A) and 9-2-90 (An­nexure 9e).

2. The reference date for the 1991 Census of India would be the 1st Mamh, 1991 in all states and Union Territories except Jammu & Kashmir where the reference dates would be as follows:

For Leh and Kargil districts 1st October, 1990

For rest of .Jammu & 1 21st Au st. 1991. Kashmlr State J gu

Notification issued by the Central Government is furnished in Annexure 9B.

3. The 1981 Criteria for Urban classification to be retained for 1991 Census. (This time for 1991 Census in Tripura, in addition to the Municipal Areas and Notified Areas six more villages ",ere proposed to be treated as Census town and the same was approved by R.G.I. vide his letter No. 2/1 (Tri) /88-SS rlated 25-11-88., Hence the total number of Urban areas increas­ed to 18 for the State for 1991 Census.)

4. Steps for Houselisting operations. demarcations of ..:numl!ration blocks, selection of enumerators and their training be taken;

5. The main phase of Census i.e. the period of .. enumeration would be from 9th February to 28th February, 1991 foHowed by a revisionaI round of five days from 1st to 5th March. 1991:

6. The period of Houselisting operations would be from 15th May to 15th June, 1990 so far the State of Tripura is concerned and mainly the services of the teachers of the School Education Department and workers of Social Education

4

Department would be utilised. For the conduct of Houselisting operations steps be taken for (i) preparation of village lists; (ii) delineation of houselisting blocks both for urban and rural; (iii) preparation of charge register; (iv) appoint­ment of Enumerators/Supervisors and their training; (v) the integration of Economic Census with the houselisting operations to be held in 1990; (vi) post-enumeration check. (PEe) and Census Evaluation Study (CES). In Tripura

State this was for the first time PEC and CES were to be undertaken. Much care was suggest­ed to be taken for proper demarcation of SRS blocks at the time of delineation for CES. Necessary data for village and town directories for publication of District Census Handbook for the use of the State Government be collected.

Census Calendar

The Housenumbering and Houselisting operation which is the first phase of Census operations was scheduled to be held from mid May to mid June of J 990. A Census Calendar was chalked out as in Annexure-l0. Actually the field work of Census is conducted with the help of State Government machi­nery and during 1991 CensJs also the maximum staff appointed as Enumerators/Supervisors were drafted from the Directorate of School Education. Taking, into consideration the convenience of the EducatioI\

, Department, the Houselisting operation in 1990 ,was deferred by almost a month as. per suggestion of Edu­cation Department. Ultimately the summer vacation period was preferred by the Education Department so that the schools arc not affected due to the engage­ment of the teachers in the Census work.

Second Conference of DCOs

In the Second Conference held at New Delhi from 5th tc 8th February, 1990, myself, along with my De­puty Director attended. It was my first opportunity to attend a Census conference. I felt very much en­couraged after my meeting with the Registrar General, India, other officers of Registrar General. India's office and the Directors of different States/Union Territories from all corners of the conntry. The Registrar General. India, in his welcome address requested the Directors of Census Operations to organise Jlnonitoring and supervision system in the field during the House­listiri:.g operations which would make their task easy

for ensuring foolproof coverage of the main 'Censu~ operations. Soon after the Houselis,ting operations they have to organise preparation of what is known as Abridged Houselist to ensure appropriate lipkage bet­ween the hOllselisting and the main Census. They have also to organise processing of the data collected during the Houselisting ope,rations. They have to attend most. of important work of organising training of Census Officers for the main Census enumeration between July, 1990 and January, 1991. All these tasks of planning, organising, training etc. were discussed during the conference. Detailed discussion were held particularly on the instruction of filling up of (i) Abrid­ged Houselist; (ii) Household Schedules; (iii) Indivi­dual Slips besides the review of the arrangements. of the HOllselisting operations.

State & District level conference

The State level 1st Conference of aU District Magis~ trate;;, Sub-divisional Officers, Block Development Officers and other Charge Officers was held on 30-1-199'0 in the Conference Hall of New Secretariat Building. Hon'ble Chief Minister inaugurated the conference and the Chief Secretary of Tripura presided over the meeting. All the Heads of Departments of Govt. of Tripura also attended the conference. The Hon'hle Chief Minister of Tripura in his inaugural speech emphasised the imporlance of Census and ex­horted all State Govt. staff to work with zeal and sincerity to make the work a success.

\

The excerpts from his speech are reproduced below:

"All of you know that every ten years we have our Census and the next Census falls on 1st March, 1991 and the task is a very enormous one. On ear­lier occasions, the Census was not so complicated, as it is today. Previously, it wa~ mostly concerned to collectlon of data in relation to the populatiOn and its socio-cultural factors. But, now-a-days, Census operations has taken up the task of collect­ing data on the economic activities of the people as well. Unless this data is very dependable, we may not have proper planning in the country. The scope and dimension of Census Operation also has chang­ed to suit the changing needs of macro-level and micro-level planning. Of course the population count is a],so a very essential part of the operation. But the other baslc infornlation that we would like to collect is on socia-economic and cultural fronts. As li" .,al the field work of Census is implemented through the S,ate Government agencies. All em­ployees, should, therefore, accept and ,perform readi­ly the work connected with the Census.

District Magistraks and Sub-divisional Officers have also Deen authorised to appoint Census staff within

5

their jurisdiction under the C~nsus Act. The ettl­ployees would be specifically instructed that they ShOUld give no cause of complaint in the discharge of their duties. I believe you have received the circulars from the Director of Census Operations, Tripura wherein you have been informed that the Houselisting and Economic Census would be con­ducted from mid May to mid June, 1990 as per Census Calendar. The first phase will be to num­ber every house and to prepare houselist and list the enterprise. There is very little time left with us and all the necessary steps like formation of enu­merator's blocks, appointment and training of staff should be completed well in time on a priority basis. I am sure, all of you share with me our extreme anxiety in ensuring that the 1991 Census is a total success both in terms of ooverage and accuracy of reporting. You know this is one of the biggest exercises in the world so far as collection of Census data is concerned. In order to make the operation a success your close attention and constant super­vision is necessary. I hope all of us will rise to the occasion and accomplish the task".

Sri I. P. Gupta, lAS, Chief Secretary of Tripura in his speech emphasised the importance of collection of accU1ate data from the field on which planning for development work in all spheres depends. Without accurate data, Government planning would not yield results. He instructe.d the DIstrict Magistrates and Sub-Divisional Officers to be vigilant so as to make the operation a total success. He also instructed them to render all assistance and co-operation as they had done during last Census.

The Heads of Departments of Govt. of Tripura, assured full co-operation in all respects to make 1991 Census a success. The concepts and the procedures for fWing up the schedules to be canvassed during the Houselisting operations were explained by me in brief. The salient features of the circulars so far issued by me were also discussed in details to fami­Iairise them with the modalities of the operation.

Besides the State level conference, district level conference were also held at Kailasahar for North Tripura district on 6--2-90, at Udaipur for South Tri­pura district on 14-2-90 and on 20-2-90 at Agartala for West Tripura district. In both South Tripura and West Tripura districts, I attended the conference and discussed details regarding the procedure to be followed for completion of the operation with the District Magistrates, Sub-divisional Officers and chalgct officers and in North Tripura district my Deputy Director and other Officers attended the conference.

CHAPTER IV

BUILDING UP OF THE ORGANISATION

I joined in the Organisation as the Director of Census Operations, Tripura on the forenoon of 4.12·89. There was a regular set·up in this Directorate but many posts were lying vacant at that time. The sancti<med strength of staff and staff .in position at the time of my joining will be revealed from the State­ment shown in Annexure-S.

The mode of appointment in case of direct recruit­ment for this organisation was through &taif Selection Commission which resulted in inordinate delay in filling up certain posts though in fact'" that organisation like Staff Sdection Commission was meant for expeditious disposal. Inspite of several attempts to fill up the vacant posts most of them remained vacant and the work had to be managed with the help of the existing staff.

Besides the post of Director there were one pos-t of Deputy Director and an Assistant Director manned by Shri P. D. Joshi and Shri D. K. Chaudhuri res­pectively. But Shri Joshi was also transferred to U.P. Directorate of Census Operations, perhaps on his own request. I did not also stand in the way and released him in the afternoon of 4-5-90 just 11 days before the house listing operation in the State. Naturally I had to utilise the services 'of the senior­roost Investigator Shri Samiran Chakraborty in all matters of Census Operations in the State as ~e Assis· tant Director was already assigned many other mis­celloneo'!ls works of the office. Shri Samiran Chakra­borty with vast experience to his credit did his job very efficiently and accurately. However. the diffi~

culties were overcomed as Shri M. C. Datta, TCS, Gr. I and Shri R. K. De Oioudhury, TCS. Gr. I of Tripura State Government jOined on deputation in the month of September, 1990 and November. 1990 res­pectively as the Deputy Director of Census Operations, Tripura.

The Statement furnished at Annexure 5 shows _the position in respect of the sanctioned strength of s~. Considering the existing staff strength in various cate­gories of posts and the workload of the 1991 Census iuelf the .:tdditional requirement of staff in addition to the existing staff following staff strength in various categories in connection with 1991 Census were sanc­tioned for' this Directorate:

Considering the increased workload of 1991 Census. it was proposed to create a post of Assistant Director in addition to' the existing one Deputy Director and one Assistant Director. But the proposal was not agreed to. Creation of a post of Assistant Director was felt essential at that time. In the next Census this may be taken ink> consideration.

Like 1971 and 1981 Census clerical assistance to the Sulrdivisional Census Officers, District Census Officers and Agartala Municipality was provided for. As per directives of the Registrar General. India one post of L.D. Clerk for each Sub-divisional Census Officer, one post of U.D. Clerk and one post of Peon for each District'Census Officer and one D.D Clerk for Agartala Municipality were provided. It was also decided that the expenditijre involved for this purpose would initially be borne by the Government of Tripu,ra and subsequently be reiJn&rsed by the Government of India.

11 (eleven) posts of L.D. aerk. 4 (four) posts of U.D. Clerk and 3 (three) Posts of Peon were created by the Government of Tripura vide the Revenue De­partment Memo No. F. 70(~1)-REVI19 dated 12th March. 1990. It was discussed in the 1st conference of District Magistrates and Sub-:divisional Officers that the temporary posts created and filled up by new recruits will have to be surrendered after a certain period and as such question of th.eir absorption would come up. To avoid such situation it was decided that the posts sanctioned by the Registrar General. India would be filled up from recently retired Govern­ment employees on fixed pay who should be able to handle the work immediately on their joining. Practi­cally it was not possible in aU the Sub·divisions and districts except in Sadar Sub-division and West Tripura district, where retired persons were. engaged on fixed pay.

CHAPTER V

TOURING AND TRAINING PR.OGRAMME t ..

Tour of Director of Census Operations

After taking over charge as the Director of Census Operations. Tripura· I started visiting aU the districts and Sub-divisional Headquarters and discussed in de­tails with the District Magistrates and Collectors and the Sub-divisional Officers. who were already appointed as the District Census Officers and Sub-divisional Census Officers. During discussion they wanted to get the full idea about the various stages of Census operations and the prelirllinary steps to be initiated for the purpose. They also raised few issues and the doubts were removed in course of discussion.

As I already mentioned the State level and district level conferences were held. besides these, meetings at the Sub-divisional level with Charge Officers were also held where my officers, staff of this Office partici­pated to remove any doubts or to clarify all points on the spot.

The correctness of data collected by the Census officials fully depends upon the imparting of training to the field agency. "Proper training to the field agency would definitely help to collect good results from the field. On that consideration three rounds of training for each phase as per instructions of the Registrar General, India were arranged. It was also decided that one expert from this Directorate will remain pm. sent in every training class. Though it was the res­ponsibility of the Charge Officers to impart trainini

7

to the field staft'. actually the experts bad to impart the training. Some o~ the Investigators. Statistical Assistants w~re serving in the Directorate for more than 30 years and had worked in 4 censuses. Natu­rally the Charge Officers took the advantage of those experienced staff in imparting training to the field staff. As a result some of my experienced staff had to attend training classes daily and that also continuously for more than a month. Besides them. the training classes were also conducted by the officers i.e. Assistant Director and Deputy Directors. As Director I tried to cover all the charges at least once in one phase of training.

But my Deputy Directors and Assistant Director could O'ot move around as they wanted to do because of inadequacy of vehicle. There was only one jeep in the Directorate and I procured one car from the State Government. But inspite of several attempts no other vehicle was made available from the State Go­vernment on POL basis. At the peak time of training there was no other alternative but to hire a car for my experienced staff to cover long distances between the training classes in short time and to cut dowft delay involved.

The Sub-divisional Census Officers and the Charge Officers were mostly the Sub-divWonal OJiJ.cers and Block Development Officers. They had their OWll

vehicles at their disposal.

CHAPTER VI

on the basis of actual population and households. For the Enterprise List and Enterprise List Abstract, the requirement at various level was determined by the Directorate of Statistics, Govt. of Tripura. A percentage of reserve schedules and forms was pro­vided at charge level and also at Sub-divisional level for unforseen requirement and wastage. They were 10% for charge level and 15% for SulHiivision level. Reserved forms and scl'tedules were also preserved by the Supervisors to meet any short fall on ,rhe' Sp0t;

For the actual enumeration of 1991 Census, the requirement of materials like Individual Slips, House­hold Schedules etc. were calculated in the Directorate of Census Operations on the basis of the population and households of HouseIisting operation. In addi­tion an increase of 10% was considered for each of the enumerators' blocks during the intervening period. The actual distribution of forms and schedules to each enumerator and supervisor was as follows:

Bengali language is the main medium of communi­cation except in few villages of Kanchanpur Develop­ment Block specially in Jampui Hill areas. So Ben­gali schedules were canvassed throughout the State and English Schedules jn exceptional areas of Jampui Hills and in Special areas.

Traoslatiion of Schedules

All Schedules and Instruction Booklets in regional language i.e. in Bengali of Housellsting operations and actual Census enumeration were supplied from the' office of the Registrar General, India, New Delhi or from the Census Directorate of West BengaJ. So it was not required for us to translate any schedules or booklet into Beng1\.li.

There was an ~pprehension that a sudden short­fall may have to be faced any time during actual enumeration peri9d pa,/rticularly in one or two items of materials f{>r wh~ch a quantity of forms r'ere brought from the Dit'f!ctorate of Census Opera]tlODS West Bengal. Ultimately most of them were. used during operation. The Enterprise List and its abstract 'and the Instruction Booklet were printed by the Bureau of Statistics, West Ben~l in regional language. Con­sidering the delay in supplying the same. persons from this Directorate had to be sent for persuation and ultimately he had to carry the entire materials related to Enterprise listing \vith him to avoid delay.

CHAPTER -VII

PROCUREMENT OF MAPS

A. CoDection of Dtitrict, Snb-Division ant! other Maps

Like 1981 Census in Tripura 1991 Census also hps been conducted treating the revenue village as the lowest unit and each Development Block as a rural charge. This time as preparatory measure the maps of the District/Sub-division/charge were collected from the Directorate of Land Records. Govt. of Tri­pura on payment and also from the office of the Sub­Divisional Officers. For the purpose of collecting maps in time. staff from the Map Section were de­puted to different Sub-divisions for persuasion. So there was no difficulty in collecting the Chargewise, sub-division-wise or district-wise maps.

B. Collection o.f Urban Maps:

In 1981 Census there were one Municipal town Agartala and nine Notified areas viz., Khowai, Sona­mura, Dharmanagar, Kailasahar, Kamalpur, Udaipur, Amarpur. Belonia and Sabroom. But in 1991 Census there are eleven Notified areas as compared to 1981 Census. Two more areas Teliamura and Kumarghat have since been declared as Notified Areas. Six reve­nue villages of 1981 Census were declared as Census Towns viz., Singarbil, Gandhigram. Barjala. Jogendra­nagar, Pratapgarh and Badharghat. Maps of Agartala Municipal Town and 11 Notified areas were collected by the deputed staff of the- Directorate from Agartala Municipality and NotHied Area Offices respectively. But the maps of the Census towns were prepared by the Map Section of this Directorate on the basis of the respective revenue village map procured from the Directorate of Lard Records. Govt. of Tripura.

C. Prepamtioo of Ma[J6 fo.r District CeWlUS Hand­books

Circular No.9 (Annexure-13) of the Census of India 1981 issued from Office of the' Registrar General, India vide D.O. Letter No. 1/2/89-Map dated 29th Sep­tember 1989 contained elaborate instructions and guidelines for preparation of maps for District Census Handbook. After the _jurisdictional changes were in­corporated the maps of districts and its constituent Sub-Divisions were prepared. These were got authen· ticated by the concerned departments of the State Govt. The maps showing the International Bounda­ries were got certified by the Surveyor General of India through Map Division of the Office of the Re­gistrar General, India.

D. Preparation of Base Maps'

After the maps were updated incorporating the juris­dictional changes _at various levels. the base map of the state was drafted showing district level juris·

3-2 RGI/ND/95

11

diction as per the guidelines contained in the R~gistrar General's Office Letter No. 211/90-Map dated 24th April. 1990. The same was sent to Survey of India for authentication of external boundary of India thro­ugh Map Division of the Office of the Registrar Gene­ral, India and a limited number of copies were printed and used for preparing maps for Provisional Popula· tion Totals and its Supplement.

Streng1h of Mapping Unit

The Drawing Section of this Directorate was func­tioning since 1981 with one Cartographer, one Sr. Drawing Assistant, one Artist and one Draftsman. In 1991 Census one pbst of Sr. Geographer. another post of Sr. Artist and two posts of Draftsman were sanc­tioned. As a result the mesent sanctioned strength of the staff of Map Sectio'n is as follows:

l. Sr. Geographer One

2. Cartographer One

3. Sr. Drawing Assistant. One

4. Sr. Artist * '" Two

5. Artist One

6. Draftsman. Two

7. Hand Press Machine Operator On.

Out of the sanctioned strength including the posts of 1991 Census in fact the Mapping Unit is function­ing with the following staff only:

I. Sr. Drawing Assistant . On.

2. Sr. Artist One

3. Artist One

4. Hand Press Machine Operator On.

In a sequence three persons were promoted by Regis. trar General, India for the post of Sr. Geographer at Tripura from different States. But none of them join­ed. As a result the post could not be filled up yet. The Cartographer has been transferred to other State on promotion and the post could not be filled up through Staff Selection Commission. As none was available for promotion one post of Sf. Artist was also lying vacant. The posts of Draftsman are lyin. vacant. One post of Draftsman was: recommended by Staff Selection Commission and he was served appo­intment letter but he also did not join. Thus all the posts of Draftsman are at present lying vacant. It became essential to fill up the vacant posts of the Man Section in order to cope with the situation as the ~ work load would be more and more with the publication of different Census volumes of the State.

CHAPI'E.R Vlll

PREPARATION OJ' RUJtAL A..ND URBAN FRAME

The main purpose of Census is to enumerate an individuals in the country within a fixed period of time with a reference date without any omission or· overlapping. So, for the purpose of complete cove­rage during Census operations it is essential to pre­pare a list of villages and towns in the State which are the smalle8t unit for rural and urban areas res­pectively. These are also required to be compared with those of previoU8 Census in order to eheck any omission of any portion of the State. r:.

Berore 1981. cemuses were cOnducted with notio­nal villages which had no well defined boundaries. But in ] 981 Census the cadastrally surveyed revenue villages were taken into consideration as the smallest unit and the Development Bloch next above the vil­lages were the charge~. Naturally the work was easier in 1991 Census for considering the same revenue villages and Development Blocks as rural charges. Before finalising the list of the villages it was also to examine properly whether any village has crossed the Block boundary or any Development Block has crossed the Sub-divisional boundary.

After incorporating all the ohanges notified after 1.981 Cens-us by the Slate Government of Tripura. a lIst of villages for each of the Development Block W!K

prepared by the Census Directorate and was sent to the respective Block Development Officers and Sub­divisional Officers for scrutiny and to indicate any mistake in the list. The lists being received back from the respective Blocks and Sub-divisions~ Were scrutinised again and reconciled. The' reconciled lists were again sent to the Sub-divisional Officers for cer­~ficarion of the list. At the time of Houselisting, like 1981 it was detected that some portion of Agar­tala Revenue village and Ramnagar village were nei­ther under any Dev. Block nor under AgartaJa Muni­cipality. The matter was taxen uf' with: the State '. <?overnment a:rtd it was decided that the left out por- . hon of Agartata Revenue village will be included urt<fer Mohanpur Dev. Block and that of Ramnagar Revenu~ viUage under BishaJgarb Dev. Block: for the purpose of Census, 1991.

At the time of 1981 Census AgartaJa was the onlv ImlnicipaI town and other nine Sub-divisional Head'­qnarters were deelared as Notified areas:. During the

r2

period alter 198-1 two- more areas viz.. KumarJhat and Teliamura were declared as Notified areas and thus in ] 99:1 Census there were in total 1 Municipal town and 11 Neti.fied areas. Besides, six revenue. villages were· declared a-s Census towns, as mentioned earlier. :IIor 1991 Census.

(iii) a density of population of ~t least 400 per Sq. I'm. (1000 ~r Sq. Mile),

The persons engaged in livestock, forestry, fish­in,g etc. were treated at par with agricultural workers for the purpose of the criterion.

An exercise with all the revenue villages was made whether any rural area could satisfy the . .criteria ,as

given in b(iii) above to be treated as urban area.

Six revenue villages viz., Singarbil, Gandhigram. Barjala. Jogendranagar. Pratapgarh and Badharghat

The preparatory work for 1991 Census was started in 19£8 in the State. The Registrar General. India in his letter No. 9/15/89-CD (CEN) dated 11-2--89 requ­ested the Chief Secretary, Government of Tripura to ensure that the boundaries of administrative units are not distributed after the blocks have been determined

and until the Census enumeration and tabulation of data are completed. He also requested to effect the change in the jurisdiction of administrative units, if found necessary, well before the enumerators' blocks are demarcated i.e. before 1st of October, 1989. The Government of Tripura did nDt effect any change in the boundaries in the administrative units and as such no problem had to be faced.

Location Code

To check the underenumeration and overlapping the most important requirement of Census is to ensure that nO' unit is left out or none is taken twice for being covered and all these units are cle&,rly identified. As various schedules are to be canvassed in all the blocks during the phases of operatibns the main pro­blem would be to identify the area properly to which the schedules canvass((d co-relate. For the purpose of identification the minimum details would be the name of State, District, Development Block, Town and Vil­lage. As it will be a big job to incorporate the names, a simple device i.e. Location Code is introduced. Location Code comprises of five elements, 1st one being a constant one for the State, and it has been allotted as 24 for Tripura for 1991 Census.

2nd element is the pistrict Code. In Tripura for three districts 1, 2 and 3 is used. The third element 1:0. the code of the Charge, Development Block or Town. The fourth element is the code of village for rural areas and code for wards for urban areas.

The fifth one is the code of enumerators' block number. The details about the Location Code was circulated vide this Directorate Circular No. 3 which is furnished at Annexure 14.

The Code numbers of Districts, Development Blocks and towns of Tripura as allotted for 1991 Census are reproduced below:

Cha.rge Register

The Charge Register is the r~gister which contains the division of the area of a charge into circle, village towns and enumerators' blocks, and the names of enu­merators and supervisors. The main idea in prepar­ing the register is to ensure whether all the areas rural or urban have been covered or not and also whether the work of the units have been entrust­ed to the individuals or not. This register is a valu­able document of work to enumerators and super­visors. Detail instructions in reJpect of preparation of Charge Register were issu;;:d by Circular No. 4 (Annexure 15) along with specimen form for prepara­tion of Charge Register.

CHAPTER IX

ENUMERATION AGENCY

Composition of Enumeration Agency

By Circulars it was informed to all the Charge Officers and ,Sub-divisional Officers that each enume­rator's block would be carved out with an approxi!1latc population of 750 persons or 150 households for rural areas and approximately 600 population or 120 house­holds for urban areas. The work of such a block will be entrusted to an enumerator and a circle will be formed with 5-7 such enumerators' blocks and a Supervisor will be entrusted the work of a circle. Pre­caution was taken so that the portions of two villages

_ do not come under the same block. Care was also taken to ensure that individual identity of each block was maintained.

_ During 1981 Census the services of teachers both primary, Secondary, Social Education Department, Panchayat Secretaries and Panchayat Extension Offi­cers, Village level workers, Agricultural Inspectors and Agricultural Assistants. Tribal Supervisors, Teh­silders. Extension Officers of Industries Department

and Progress Assistants of Statistical Department were utilised as Enumerators and Supervisors for both tho phases of Houselisting and Enumeration period in rural and urban areas. In the first conference of the District Magistrates, Sub-divisional Officers, Block Development Officers and the Heads of Departments at preparatory period of 1991 Census it was decided that the main task of enumerators and supervisors will be entrusted to the teachers of School Education Department and the Secretary, School Education ensured that it will not be a difficult task to spare the teacners for the purpose of Census 1991. As such, most of the enumerators and supervisors were appo­inted from amongst the teachers of School Education, Social Education and a very few from the Panchayat Department, Progress Assistants and Extension Offi­cers of the Block Development Officers for both rural and urban areas.

The distribution of Enumerators/Supervisors includ­ing the reserve by sex for each district enaged in tho (a) Houselisting operations and (b) in actual enume­ration was as follows:

Difficulties in IItiIisiog the s-emces of the enmnem­dOn agency, if any

During 1971 for all TA claims, the field agency had to submit their T A claims to their respective Departments and a few of the cases were not settled even by 1990. There was a cry from, one or two per­sons with such cases. They were asked by the res­pective Sub-divisional Officers to submit their parti­culars to trace out the matter.

However, during 1991 Census, like 1981 the ex­penditure in connection with payment of TA & DA was to be initially incurred by the Government of Tripura and the expenditure so incurred was to be re-imbursed by the Govt. of India. In many cases the field agency prayed for advance TA. The Sub­divisional Census Officers were declared as the Con­trolling Officer for the purpose. As I pursued the

matter repeatedly with the State Govt. there was no difficulty in regards to the placement of fund at the disposal of the Sub-divisional Census Officers in time. As the payment of advance TA was made to the concerned staff before the start of actual work, we were able to avoid the resentment amongst the tieW staff like earlier occasions.

But just after the 1st phase of work in some of tha development blocks around the capital, Agartala there was a resentment amongst the field staff to get their honorarium for 1st phase before submitting their papers of Houselisting operation. Myself along with my officers of this Directorate rushed to those Deve­lopment blocks and sorted out the matter. They were told to submit their paper first and to come again after 7 days to receive their honorarium. And w. were able to disburse the honorarium in time and thu. kept the field agency in good humour for better per­formance in the actual enumeration period.

CHAPTER X

HOUSELISTING OPERATIONS

Houselisting operations

The .Census Operation is conducted in two phases 0) House-numbering and Houselisting operations .and (ii) Actual enumeration of population. The Fpo&c of the first phase i.e. Housenumbering and 'Ik>uselisting operations is to locate and identify all places which are occupied by people. Th0'Ugh the first phase Housenumbering and Houselis·ting are the prima:ry steps for the actual enum~ration·hili their importance cannot be denied. In this operation, along with the Houseli.sting a number of very important data are collected. In the houselisting operation of 1991 Census some new information were introduced, these are the predominant material of wall. roof and floor of census houses and facilities available in the household which were collected in the Second phase through Household Schedule in 1981. But the infor­mation on handicapped persons was dropped in 1991 Census.

The Housenumbering operations include the basic steps (1) preparation of a national map and a lay­out sketch -of the area assigned to an enumerator; (2) numbering of Census houses; (3) filling up of Houselist; (4) preparation of Houselist A~tract; (5) fiuing up the Enterprise list and (6) preparation of the Enterprise list Abstract.

First of all, lists of Development Block-wise villa­ges were collected from the Sub-divisional Officers and were properly examined so that no village was left Ollt for i.he purpose of Housenumbering and HOllBelisting operation. Again the Deve.wpment Blocks w.ene treated as charges fOr rural ar..eas 3II1d the village was the smallest unit. In total there were 17 Development Blocks i.e. 17 rural charges. AlI the towns were treated as urban charges. There were in total 18 urban oharges which included 6 Census Towns also. Each charge was then divided into num- ' ber <If circles and the circle comprised of 5-6 Nos. of Emlmerators' Blocks carved out .earlier for appro­priaie workload of the indi·vidual enumera~r-s. A Worlcioad of 7s{) persons or 150 households for rural area 1I'I1d 600 population or 120 households for urban area was considered to be viable.

T.otal number -of such enumeratolli' blocks was 4351 in Tripnra. In my -Circular No. 2 detailed ins-

tructions for delineation of -enumerators' blacks fur Houselisting and Housenumbering .operation were issue.d. The Circular .is fumishe.d in Ann.ex.w:e 16.

.Like 1981, the Enterprise L-ist was canVa&6ed alml& wIth the Houselisting ;operation of 1991 Cmm:s. The role 'of the Director of Coosus Operation was to organise and co-ordinate the canvassing of the sche­dule with the basic responsibility of getting the Eco­nomic Census as 'It part of the Houseli~ting operation conducted by involving the State Bureau of Statistia;. For the purpose the District level officers of Statistical Department were appointed as the Addl. District Cen­sus Officf!rs -and the offica:s below them were cow­der-ed as censHS staff -fur all practical l'urposes and all of them were trained along with the staff of Census Directorate both in Houselisting operation and can­vassing of Enterprise List. Though the main brunt of the training had to be hor:ne by the .staJf 01 .the Census Directorate yet their contribution was alao not less significant.

!nstru~tion ?ooklets along I with schedwle_& W~ ant pnnted ill regtonal language .in Calcutta PreBB by the Bureau of Statistics, West Bengal. As it WJlS .akeady deJayed ,in getting the Instruction :Booklets and .Sclle­dules, staff from Census DiIi!ctorate had ie -be .~1 to Calcutta to pursue the ma~ter of dc1iveIiY !Qf 11h. same directly from the Press. \ The materiais Of iBn· t~rprise List w~re. distributed ~long wIth the mate-1."ra~ of Housenstmg operation. 'At .the time df ope­ratIOn the staff of Statistical bepartment were in­<:harge tt. su~ of 1\1e En~rprise iM-t mork. IJlstruotion of the Enterprise List lwIthiJI Ithe JiI1l<.u5c;­'listing ~tion led to over burdened Of em:nne-ra­tors (as they were already more but;dened this time) for the Houselisting operation. Moreover, Cell£uS Directorate Staff were not in a position 10 do ju9l1ce to the job of Houselisting operation as required of us because of simultaneo~s canvassing of Enter­prise-list.

'f,ae mere dliciency.ef the .. ekl .a~llCy.it not .eMU8h ior c01l'lplete ~s 'trif the gjgamic opcmcion

lIke Census active participation and co-operation of the general people is also equally necessary. For the purpose the aims and objectives of, the operatie:n should be known to all.

Publicity through all available media play a vital tole in making: tire genera] people well conversant wifrr the CeJlSliJ5. In 199;} Census. publicity items were posters. folders, press advertisement, cinema .tides. talks on radio and production of documentary ilm QJl the 1991 Census.

In Tripura. the publicity programme of 1991 Cen­sus s.latted at the eve of the second Pre-test, June­July, ~ with It ~ss note from leAT, Govt. of Tripura and radio announcement on 18-6-89.

The posters arrd folders were estimated for the State. as. 10,000 eacli and cinema slides nine only be­sides' 35 ntm. ancl }'6 mm. documentary films.

All J'ncfia Radio; Agartala, the Press Information ~reau, and, Publicity Department, Govt. of Tripura rendered valuable assistance and oo-operation in pub­licisiog the census programme in ,both the phases HbusCll'isting and actual Enumeration. Radio talks t" the Dit:ector of CensUlI Operations and appeal to ." people by Bon'ble Chief, Minister of Tripura was br:oa<kast by AIR, AgartaJa. Moreover, every morn­rug. 8t>IDe topics on census or slogans were regulaTly bn:MIdeas1l by Al~ India Radio. Agartala.

Training

Both the phases of Census operations are conducted in the field by drafting staff of the State Gove.mment mostly from the Education Directorate and a few from other Departments... Naturally the field work of Census is different from that of their normal nature of duty. So adequate training is no doubt esseI'Itial fQ("' the pEO!peF (;;QlIection of correct and accurate data flom the field.

Th Charge' Officers wero supposed to impart train­ing .t~ their staff, but it was also decided that the ,&tatr of the office will attend each training class. Ex­apt in 'ette or tWQ cases, our s.taff practically imparted traill'iDg. in the classes. Most of them were- pretty senior persons serving in Census Department for more . thaa 30 years witb the experiences. of conduct or 'three <:ensues. Yet. they were trained in the niree­t'oFate befbre attending the training cl~.

were organised by me in three districts where myself and my staff of the Directorate imparted training in three districts on three different dates. In those train­ing classes the dates were fixed for imparting train­irrg to the Enumerators! Supervisors along with re­serve persons. The detailed instructions regarding organisation of training classes were communicated to all concerned.

The date of Houselisting operation was fixed in consultation with the Directorate of Education as most of the staff (teachers) were drafted from Educa­tion Department. As per their suggestion, ,the sum­mer vacation from mid May to mid June, 90 was the ideal time to conduct Census as the classes would not be disturbed during summer vacation.

At the time of supervision in the field. few com­mon mistakes were found by the staff in the work of the enumerators. These were as follows :

In Ccl. (2) and Col. (3) Building number and Cen­sus House number were repeated respectively for the same building or for the same Census house where dash (-) was to be given;

In Col. (7) while writing shop-cum-workshop 0'1'

workshop-cum-residence etc. separate linea were

not used by few. field staff.

In Col. (20) while reoo-rding the enterprises of the members of the household more than one line were not used by few enumerators in the field for mOre than. one enterprise in a household.

All these situations were taken care of and corree .. tive measures also were ensured.

C.,lIeeficJn 01 forms

Instru.ctions in details in connection with the col­lection of forms and schedules etc. after completion of tfIe ogeration were issued. vide Circular No. 7 (Annexure 17).

&> far the collection of forms regarding Enterprise List is concerned the Charge Officers/Sub-divisional Census Officers were instructed to hand over all the filled-in schedules and other records to the Di!Jtrict Statistical Officers. of the respective district directly .

After col1wtiou of schedules and forms from the District Census Officers the State/District Houselist Abstract was compiled in this Directorate and the same was rent to the office of the RegiGtrar General. India for further action.

CHAPTER XI

ENUMERATION

Th~ basic frame for the formation of the enume­rators . bl.ock for actual census is obtained from the House~Istm~ and Housenumbering operations. This operatton IS conducted only few months before the actual count to ensure that the coverage of the Cen­~ushouse and households at the time of the Census ~s complete. For this purpose an intermediate form IS. adnpted . and it _is called Abridged House]ist. Cer­t~m .essentlal detaIls are copied out from the House­Irst. In ,the prescribed form of Abridged ,HtlUselist whIch IS updated by the enumerators at the time of actual enumerati()U. r

!ust after the Houselisting operations and the re­~elpt of all the related forms and schedules, the most Important steps towards the preparation for the ac­tual census are (l) Recarvation of enumerators' block as per populat!o~ and number of Household obtained from Hou~ehstmg operation and completion of Charge. RegIsters an~ (2) Preraration of Abridged Housel1st on the basIs of re-delineated blocks.

The Abridged Houselist contains the fonowing three sections:

Section 1: This Sectio'll contains the information about the population of the enumera­tors' block, number of occupied resi­dential houses and number of house­holds and is requi~ed to be filled up after the completIOn of enumeration with the help of Enumerators' Abstract and Sections 2 and 3 of the Abridged Houselist after these have been up­dated.

Section 2: This Section contains essentially a list of all Census houses and households in an enumeration, block copied from the houselist. This is required to be up­dated by the enumerator during enu­meration because some of the Census houses which existed at the time of house­listing might have been demolished and new houses might have come up. Some of the h'ouseholds might have moved out and some new households, might have, moved in.

Section 3: This is addenda to Section 2. The new census houses and households found during enumeration in the block are to be listed in this Section. In ad­dition, the houseless households are also to be listed in this Section durin.,. enumeration. '"

The serial number of the household has to be given in Col. (7) of both Sections

2 and 3 of the Abridged Houselist con­tinuously starting from serial number-l in Section 2.

The detailed instructions ot the preparation of Ab­ridged HouseJist were issued through Circular No. 8 furnished in Annexure 18.

The Sub-divisional Census Officers were supposed to prepare the Ahridged Houselist for their respectiv. Suh-divisions so that the link between the houselist­iug operaI1on and the actual count of population is maintained. The' Abride:ed Houselist is the main basis for undertaking the -work of enumeration. For the purpose of preparation of Abridged Houselist an honorarium of Rs. 600 for an average population of 3 lakhs whkh was subsequently considered as Rs. 12 for an unit of IXlP'llation of 6000 or part thereof wa. declared by the Registrar General, India vide his let­ter No, G. IR020/5(90-BC dated 5th September, 1990.

18

The Sub-divisional Census Officers superviSed the preparation of Abridged Houselist for their Sub-divi­sion and they managed to get it done by the Census Clerk or the regular staff of the Sub-divisiollal Offi­cer's Office of Block Development Offices. In some of the cases e.g. for Census towns Abridged House­lists were prepared in the Census Directorate under supervision of senior offiCerS. Staff from this Direc­torate were sent to the Sub-divisions to render tech­nical guidance for redeIineation of enumeration blocks and preparation of Abridged Hou~lists.

Training

As per instructions of the Registrar General, India training classes were to be organised in 3 sessions.­first session for 3 days, 2nd session for 2 days and 3rd session for 2 days. In total 7 days training was sup­posed to be imparted to the enumerators, supervisors and al,o the persons who were' kept reserved. But practically in Tripura, three rounds of training were organised but number of days were less than 7 as the main burden of training was ()U the shoulders of the experienced staff of this Directorate who had to cover the training classes of entire State and that also in a short time and well ahead of actual count. To en­sure the quality of training the classes were consti­tuted of manageable size as much as practicable.;

The dates of the training programme were finaU:Sc;d in all the districts in consultation with the respective Sub­divisional Census Officers and Charge Officers. The staff of this Directorate mostly the Inve.stigators And SUi­tistical Assistants who had experience of 30 year. attended the training classes for imparting traininl with the Charge Officers and Sub-divisional censul

Officers. The Deputy Directors and Assistant Director also attended the training c1as~s/

As the Director of Census I tried to attend, all the cnar-ges at least once in any of the three rounds of training classes. All the m!lterials were hand'ed over to enumerators/supervisors during the third round of training. Instructions in details in regard. to the training was communicated to all concerned through my Circular No.9 and Circular No. 12 date<! 13th Septembel. 90 and 5th December, 90 respe¢tively.

Aids used in training c~e!J

The Instructions Boqklets, forms and schedules were distributed during training classes to all the enu­m~ators and supervisors. Besides these, all the ~~! and schedules written in a roll-up black board were displayed in the training classes so that the training can be imparted by explaining neatly all the columns of the schedules fOr easy grasp by the trai­nees. The training classes thus conducted with tbese roll-up blackboards and microphone facilitated pro­per imparting of training to the field agency.

Amtngement made for enumeration

The forms and schedules to be canvassed were handed over to enun;l~rators and supervisors during the third round of training. The actual count in the State started with the country on the 9th of February. 1991 with the enumeration of the Governor of Tri­pura State and the Chief Minister of ,Tnpura. The enu­meratic;m work in all the charges also started on tbe 9th February, 1991 as usual. The Sub-divisional Officer. is­sued Identity Cards supplied by· this Directorate. to the enumerators and supervisors of their respective Sub­division. The Supervisors were iSMled the cyclostyled copies of instructions and the duties to be discharged by Supervisors during Census. The technical staff of this Directorate were deputed in all the charges to keep close liaison with the enumerators and supervi­sors. to monitor their work continuously till collection of materials. Intensive tour Was also undertaken by the Deputy Directors and myself to exercise super­vision over the field work.

Publldty measures

Radio slogans, Radio broadcast, News items and advertisement in local dailies, Cinema slides. ])ocu­mcmtary show, posters and folders were the main items of pUblicity in connection with the population ~s of 1991. ~'ble C"'biel Minister of Tripura 'Was very kind enough to broadcast a speech on· tbe eve of tbe enumeration for eliciting the co-operalion ot the public in this operation (Annexure-19). This Ipeech was also circulated through local dailies and the sam~ one wa! repeated in the Radio. As the Director of Census Operations, Tripura I also took the opportunity of broadcasting through All India Radio. Agartala, a speech for co-operation of public for tuoceSsful completion of the operation, (Annexure 20). The messages from the President of India and the Prime Miruster of India were also circulated to all Census functionaries (Annexures 21 & 22).

Supeniswn on eaameratioa

Much importance was given to the supervision of tl-te work of field agency during Census as the emir. luccess of the Census depends on the quality of data collected by them in the field. The technica1 staff ot this Directorr.te were detailed in all the charges fOf effective supervision of the field work so that th. data collected by the agency are accurate as far •• possible. For the purpose, the staff had to under­take intensive tour within the charges to COver almost all the blocks to supervise the work of enumerator •. The duties of the supervisors at the time of enumera­tion were supplied in the form ci written instruction (0 the Supervisors (Annexure 23).

The communication gap between the enumerators and supervisors were bridged by this Dire;:;torate Itall on many occasions.

The Charge Officers arranged weekly meeting with the supervisors of their charge to discuss the pro­gres~ at field work and regarding any problem faced by them.' The technical staff already detailed for the purpose had attended all those meetings to solve any problem or confusion. The Charge Officers also had to move out to face the probJem on spot.

During the period of enumeration my Deputy Directors and myself also moved extensively to have tIle exact picture of the conduct of Census.

Relnct~e to answer

No instance of reluctance to answer to the ques-· tioIUlaire came to Our notice. The general public were found to be very co-operative with the field staff. As such we had no occasion to take recour~. to the provision of the Censul Act durin, 1~1 CeIl4us.

A~ on cont'.ept

The enumerators and ~upervisor8 were trained pro­perly in the training classes and the few points wh~ the confusion arose were discussed separately. More­over arrangement for practical training was also made during training. In spite of all efforts made for clear grasp of all questionnaires the field agency had to face difficulties in ascertaining the ages. age at marria&e Md duration of residence etc. specially in rural areas. To help in ascertaining the exact time of birth, mar­riage etc. a list of famous important events was supp­lied to the field agency to calculate the ages and years.

In some cases few backward community who had not found place in the SC/ST list were demandina their inclusion as SC/SlT. The field agency were specifically told to show tho list of presidential order of SCjST to avoid arguments.

In r~spe(;t of economic questioru difficulties wer. experienced by the enumerators/llupervisors whell they went to the field for canvassing. In some easel they felt so helpless that they had to come to the office of Charge Officer to contact the technical 8td of our Directorate posted in the Charge to help them in recording the response correctly. Of course, these

things happened in cases of those persons who .uffer­ed from superiority compleX' and thought that Ins· truction Booklets would suffice and did not pay due attention to the training classes. That age. sex. lite­racy had got bearing upon economic questions w .. already mentioned in the training classes by our tech:­nical staff even though these did not occur in the Ins· truction Booklet.

Arrangement made for total eoverqe

Just after completion of the 1st phase of Consul. the Houselisting blocks were underlined as per norm. The redelineated Mocks were examined and detailed scrutiny was made in the office to eltamine the total coverage. As per instructions of Registrar General. India the Sample Registration Scheme (SRS) Block were not ·jisturbed once again likeCHouselisting ope­ration. In case of big SRS blocks. if required those were divided into two or more enumerators' blocks but SRS blocks were never added to the non SRS area. The staff of this Directorate supervised the matter at the time of carving out the enumeration blocks.

As per instructions of Registrar General. India to j ensure the full coverage we have requested the em· ployees (Central and State Government) to check whether they with their family members were enu­merated or not. Again the District Magistrates and Sub-divisional Officers were requested to maintain check-list to ensure that all the MPs, MLAs. Gaon Pradhan. Journalists and all other important persona of their respective Districts/Sub-divisions were emu­merated. Moreover by· neWs items through Dailies and All India Radio and advertisements throu~ News papers general public were reques1ed to report to the . nearest office of the Block Development Officer, or Sub-divisional Officer or Census Directorate if they. were not counted before the last three days of enume· ration. Special Cells were opened to attend to such reports in the Charge Offices and Sub-divisional OfticeI1 Offices. A Special Cell was also opened around the clock to attend all types of reports. complaints· from 9th February. 91 to 14th March. 91. All the com­plaints. reports or requests were Irttended to with due diligence. I.

\

Enumeration of H~ perIOIIII

The persons who have no ~idence are termed liS houseless persons. There is no boat or ship population. All the houseless population were count· ed on the night of 18th February, 1991. Necessary instruction was issued well ahead to form a Cell in every charge specially in urban areas to cover all the Bouseless persons. The technical staff detailed in

20

every charge also accompanied the Cell. Even myself with my staff moved around at 28th night in the only Municipal town of the State to see the arrangements made for the purpose of counting the houseless persons.

Non-syndlronou area

There was no non-synchronous area in Tripura.

SpedaJ ammgemeat lor enmneratloD In blK cities

In 1991 there are 18 towns in Tripura out of which are 11 Notified areas, 6 Census towns and only one Municipal town above 1 lakb population which is termed as City for Census. Thus there was no big city as such where special arrangements: were required to be made. .

Reporting on Provisional Totah

The enumerators, as per instructions. were to pre­pare their abstracts for the respective· block after com­pletion of revisional round and were to submit their records to the Supervisors. The Supervisors in tum were to submit the records to the Charge Officers. The Qtarge Officers a«er receiving the records were to submIt the provisional totals of their respective charges to the Sub-divisional Officers. . The Sub-Jivisional Census officers in tuql were to send the compiled cbarge level fi~es and sub~divisional totals to the :District Census Ofiicers with a copy to the Director of Census Operatioris. rIhe District Census Office. after compiling the distxict figures were to commuqi. cate to the Director.

DIRECTIVES ISSUED BY THE STATE GOVERNMENT

The Registrar General. India issued the general itl structions. In addition Shri Subodh Kant. Minister of State for Home Affairs, India in his D.

O. le'tter is reproduced below:

r:

"The next Census of India will be conducted in February-March. 1991. The preliminary operation of housenumbering !ind.. houselisting~ h_as_ !I:!r_~ad'y_

commenced in some States and will be conducted according to a Calendar ofoperatibii dtawn1ar-eadI State this year. The entire Census- work inclHdiot­houselisting is being conducted thrOugh the - State Government. The success -of the -census depends on close supervision and co-ordination. It is a high­ly controlled e)!:ercise where attention to detail and complete familiarity with jurisdictions of th~ officen c011cerned are necessary.

. All officers including-the COneclOl'S1f)eputy--CUm' -­missioners. Tehsildars. Sub-divisional Officers. Block: Development Officers and 0thers, particularly School teachers, are being trained in this work. The quality and coverage of the census work will be seriously affected if large scale transfers of these officers take place at this juncture. I am. therefore, writing to req uest you to kindly issue l1;.;cessary instructionl for postponement of large scale transfers of officen aad others, particularly School teachers. involved in Census ",ark. till March. 1991. I am lure. you will appreciate the need for such a postponement particularly as the State Governments are the most important users of the census data and i should. therefore. be interested in high quality of the' cenau. data.".

The Home Sec;etary in his D.O. letter No. 9 /21/~9-CD (CEN) dated the 9th November, 1990 requested the Chief Secretary. Tripura in respect (,f putting oft' any elections to Panchayat Raj Institutions and Local Bodies like Municipalities, Corporations etc. till the end of March, 1991. This is All Annexure 25.

The Chief Secretary of Triptmi· reqllested all- Secre­taries. Heads of Departments and Heads of Offices to issue instructions for postponement till March, 1991 of large scal~ transfer, if i'ny. of officers and othen. particularly teachers involved in Census work.

Before the Houselisting the Chief Secretary issued D.O. letter No. 12-145(T)j90 dated 1st March. 90 to all Heads of Departments w'th the request to impresl upcn their "officers and staff the necessity and impor­tance which the Govt. attach to this important national w.ork urging upon them to carry out thcir allotted dutic. in connection with census promptly, accurately and -e_mcieni1j with- care il.lld diligence.

Participation of M_ters and Senior Oflicert

Participation of Mini~ters and Senior officers in training classes go a long way in the conduot of the operation. The Chlef, Minister of Tripura was kind enough to inaugurate the State level training clasl and the Chief Secretary presided over the said m.et-

,ing. The Secretaries of all Departments also partici­pated in the meeting. The presence of the Chief Minister. the Chief Secretary and the secretariel of the State Government Wa3 a morale booster which helped us ir. irnpressill! upon the uftkers concerned the leriousness of the issue so as to make census a lucceSi.

In the district level training classes the District Magistrates and Collectors who were also the District Census Officers too~ active part. Even in the training classes of enumerators and supervisors the Sub-divisio­nal Officers were present till. the end. Presence of senior officers in such training classes encouraged the trainees a lot.

CHAPTER XIII

Publicity

In Chapter-X· it, has . ,already been discussed that publicity has a very important role in' the SlICCesS of Census Operations.· All India Radio acted ·as, the best media for the purpose of publicity. The next was the Documentary films and the posters and folders distri­buted in the interior places through the Panchayat Se'cretaries of Block Development Offices i.e. the Charge Officer. The arrangement of film shows and cinema slides would produce .11luch more result if the same could be supplied well. before the house!istin. operations. In the next Census this may be\seriously thought of. Arrangement lor Honorarium

The honorarium for the field staff of 1991 Census was paid in advance by the Government of India through Pay & Accounts Officer and the Department of Statistics to the Accountant General, Tripura. The honorarium was paid to the field agencies within a fortnight of the submission qf records. T~ough ~e had intended to make payment of honoranum WIth the receipt of filled-in records and other materials from field staff, but it could ..not be done for some difficul­ties faced by the State Government causing delay in placing fund at the disposal of Sub-divisional Census Officers.

It may be considered in future whether the Directo! of Census Operations may be allowed to place the fund of· honorarium directly with the Sub-divisional Census Ofl¥:ers or Charge Officers so that no de-lay

in payment of honorarium may occur, as the del~y in payment of the dues to the field agency causes avoida­ble acrimony and lack of credibility.

According to the scale of honorarium sanctioned by. the Govt. and conveyed by the Registrar General, India under different letters from time to time the field staff of 1991 Census were entitled to the honorar­ium as mentioned below:

1. RGl's letter No. G. lS0Z0/2/90-BC dated lS-5-90

2. Do. No. G. lS020/S/90-BC dated 14-3-91

Th03 groan of the field agency was aired as the worle load of both the phases, on the high side acd the quantum of honorarium for the phases did not appear to be commensurate with the volume of work required to be handled by them. .

CeD61l!i MedUi

Like other censuses in 1991 census it was decided to award Silver and Bronze medals with Certificatea in recognition of meritorious services rendered by tho field staff. Accordingly 36 Silver medals and 34 Bronze medals were allotted for Tripura State.

Recommendation froJU the District Census Officer. and Sub-divisional 'Census Officers were called for and the Census Officers were requested to recommend the names only who had performed really meritorious work during 1991 census.

Long lists of recommended names were received from all the District Census Officers and Sub-divi­lional Census Officers. As per instruction of the Re­gistrar General, India the actual papers received from the enumerators/supervisors whose names were al­ready. recommended, were seriously scrutinised by the expehel1ce~ Investig<;ltors under the supervision of Deputy Director at the R.X.O. Only on the li>asis of the performance i.e. scrutiny of the filled-in' ·forms " schedules in R.T.O. the names were shortlisted for award of medals. The persons with conspicuously good performance were selected for Silver medall and the category for Bronze medals. For enumeratol'l and supervisors the nUlllbe~ was decided on the 1m. of the Sub-division. .

For the Charge Officers and S~b-divisional Censul Officers the recommendations of Sub-divisional Cen.

\ sus Officers and District. ~SU8 Officers respectively were taken into consideration for the entire State. After careful examination of\ the entire performance:! of the charges and the Sub-<Uvisions. the list for Sil­ver Medal and Bronze medal was finalised. Again the number of medals were prop<)rtionately allotted for different ~ategories of Census f:unctionaries: Actually for awardmg of medals the folI(>wing yardstick were fixed: \

1. Silver medals would be aw~rded to thOSe cen­sus functionaries who performed their worka in outstanding manner (after examining the work physically at R.T.O.);

2. Bronze11ledals would be awarded to those who performed very good work;

In the final list so prepared there were 3 District Census Officers, 5 Sub-divisional Census Officers. , Charge Officers, 6 Supervisors· and 16 Enumeratol'l for Silver medals and for Bronze modals there were one Addl. District Census Officer, 7 Charge OffiCers, 7 Supervisors and 19 Enumerators. "Besides. one Sil­ver . medal was allotted to one of the staff of this Dir­ectOrate who performed the excellent and meritorious

. work during CensuJ and post-ceJ'llu. period.

The medals were distributed in a ceremonial func­tion held on 25-4-92 at Rabindra Shatavarshiki Bhawan, Agartala. The Hon'ble Minister of Tripura Sri R.L. Roy distributed the medals Oil behalf of the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Tripura in,' presence of a distinguished gathering. :

Recruitment aOO Retrenchment of R. T.O. staft

As earlier discussed recruitment pf staff through Staff ~Iection Commission always poses a problem. Prior to the establishment of sse recruitment could be expedited accoTding to need by obtaining l~st of candidates from local Employment Exchange. But now-a-days it takes unlimited time. Even after a pretty long time, the candidates nominated by the Staff Selection Commission do not tum up to join. As a result a good number of posts could not be fiU. ed up directly through sse. However, as much as possible the posts of R.T.O. were filled up by promo­tion and the rest on ad-hoc appointment through State Employment Exchange.

There was only one Regional Tabulation Office in Tripura. The staff recruited for Regional Tabulation Office was not sufficient enough to cope up with work for which staff of this Directorate had to be diverted to the Regional Tabulation Office to com­plete the time bound work. The foHowing are the sanctioned strength for R.T.O. for 1991 CensuI:

l. Deputy Director • One 2. Investigator · Two 3. Statistical Assistant · Two

4. Assistant . · One ,. U.D. Clerk One 6. Jr. stenographer On. 7. L.D. Clerk. Three 8. Peon One 9. Cbowkidar. One

The Supervisors, Checkers and Coders/Compilers were recruit,ed locally on contract basis on consoli­dated pay of Rs. 1200/-, Rs. 1050/- and Rs. 900/­respectively for Region~l Tabulation Office. For the coding work of the Houselisting operation the Coding Cell was opened with 1 Supervisor, 3 Checkers and 6 Coders. Regional Tabulation Office started with 6 Supervisors, 17 Checkers and 104 Compilers. In the Coding Cell the staff afterwards increased to 4 Super­visors. 13 Checkers and 26 Coders. After generation of Primary Census Abstract it had been decided that all R.T.O. staff would be shifted to Coding Cell for early completion of, coding work latest by next Sep­tember, 1992 i.e. 10 Supervisors, 30 Checkers and 130 Coders/Compilers were to work in Coding Cell. It has also been decided to close Regional Tabula­tion Office by 31st December, 1992 by which all other manual tabulation from Household schedules are to be completed. With the close of Regional Tabulation Office all the staff working therein barring regular staff had to be retrenched.

AocOUDting system

It was decided during 1991 Census that the expen­diture required to be incurred by the State Govern­ment in connection with Census operation will be m~

25

hy the State Government from its budget ftnt and subsi;lJ.ucntIy it will be re-imbursed by the Census Or­ganisation. The detailed instructions in this regard were issu;;j by the. Registrar General. India to the State Government under his letter No. 2/3/89-RG (Ad. II) dated September 28. 1989. a.. copy of which is furnished in Annexure-27. The exception is the amount of honorarium which was directly sent to Government of. Tripura by the Pay &. Account Offi­cer (Census), by cheque as aQvance. The budget for the years 1988-89 to 1991-92 so far this directorate was concerned is given below:

Year Plan

1988-89· Rs. 3~.000.00

1989-90 Rs. 41,000.00

Non-plan

Rs. 18,66,000.00

Rs. 21,4~,OOO.00

1990-91 Rs. 69,~2,000.OO

1991-92 Rs. 46,03,000.00

The total expenditure by the State Government in connection with 1991 Census is yet to be received irom the Accountant General, Tripura. Hence the calculation of per capita cost could not be under­taken.

The field agency pressed for payment directly from the Directorate of Census Operations as they had to face difficulty in receiving payment timely. Parti­cularly they have their grievances against the finali­.ation of T A biIIs_ both for the finalised amount and also for the delay in finalisation. Yet for all the exis­ting system may be allowed to continue.

Regarding other aspects like travelling allowance. telephones, indent for stores etc. 1)0 difficulty was faced in the matter of travelling expenses of the staft of the Directorate or installation of telephones. New telephone was installed at Regional Tabulation OfIice in time. As regards the obtaining store. the question of supplying the same was not there a9 the Central Store stopped functioning since long back. Naturally store had to be obtained locally from the State Gov­ernment Co-Operative Consumers Society at the ap­proved rate.

Printfrtg is a big prOblem for the State. The experi­ence of printing of 1971 and 1981 publication shows that only for want of printing in time utility of the census publications could not be appreciated. A. there is no Govt. of India Press in the St,ate it ap­pears from the record that printing of only 200 page. required 3 to 4 yeal'! in the Government Pr..:~s. There­fore. attempts should be made seriously to bring out the publication from the Press within 1 easonablo time so that the publication can be really us3ul and timely.

Similar problem is the accomodation at rhis State Capital. No such building was. available to accomo­date the entire Regional Tabulation Office. As a re­sult th'ree separate buildings in three dHferent placo. of tbe city had to be hired for R.T.O. The ('wner 01 the buDdings were reluctant to accept the C.P.W.D. assessment for rent as even after lapse of years the assessment is not received. Even if the aSl'!e~sment i. rec~iveG::jt:~c:s. more than a year'to get approval ~\~t1o -~. dia. It is perhaps to be consi­l:.:.wkettter: s Organisation may have its (fwn a~o~~~!o'h ~t It before 2001 Census.

CHAP1ER XIV

POST ENUMERATION CHECK AND CENSUS EVALUATION STUDY

After the completion of the enumeration a special study is conducted in some selectt"d samDle enumera­tor's blocks by the staff of the Directorate to find out the accuracy of enumeration work i.e . ...-.hether there is any omission or overlapping and also whether parti­culars recorded for individuals are accurate. This IMlrvey is called the Post Enumeration Ch~ck (PEC).

Aoother study "Census Evaluation Stud¥'~' (CBS) ig also conducted after the census op'tfations in a lub-sample of the Sample Registration System blocks. The objective of the Census Evaluation Study is to quantify the extent of omission of children at the younger ages and the ascertainment of the corrt'ctness of age reporting of children in the Census with the help of births recorded in S.R.S. The births and deaths are recorded regularly in Sample Registra­tion Scheme. So it i~ possible to prepare the list of births after 1984 i.e. the list of children 0f 6 years after eliminating those who are dead or outmigrated before Census. From the list, thus prepared, it is possible to have a comparison in between 'the Census returns and the returns of Sample Registration System lind this helps to estimate the omission and the extent of misrecording at younger age group a.t the time of Census.

. "This is first time in 1'ripura in 1991 Census that both the studies viz., PEC and CES were undertaken from the 15th of March, 1991. Prior to field work, a trairiing class of three days from the 9th to 11 th August, 90 was organised at Sewn Bhawan. New Delhi where the AO;C.o. and a senior Investigator from (he States were P.:nParted training for both PEe and -CES. Afterwards they imparted uaining to the

26

staff entrusted with the field works. Three sessions of training for PEC and CES was organised. The Dy. Registrar General, Shri K. S. Natarajan, attended on. of the sessions at Agartala when he imparted practical training also for CES in the field.

The enumerator's blocks for PEC and SRS blocks for CBS were selected and listed centrally at Registrar General, India's office. Ncw Delhi. Sixty enumerator'. blocks sclec:ed for the State and the list was commu­nicated well ahead to this Directorate with random start no. for selection of households. These wero scattered in all seventeen rural charges and in seven towns (Annexure-28). Out of these sixty units forty­eight units were earmarked for coverage error while 12 units were scheduled both for content error Ilnd coverage error. The schedules used for the purpose of PEC and CES studies are given in Annexure 28A to 28G ana 29A to .29D . respectively.

Similarly sub-sample ·of twenty SRS units' wero selected for CES sttldy 'in the office tJf the Regi~trar General, I'ndia and the .list (Annexure-29) was com­municated to this Directorat~ well ahead of the study to undertake the preliminary work. The twenty SRS units were comprised of 49 enumerator's blocks which were kept earmarked at the' time of delineation of

,blocks.

Both the studies' were cond~ted in the State from 15th of March, 1991 with the help of the trained staff of this Directorate. Shri R. K. furi. Deputy Director of the Office of the Registrar General. India visited the State during field survey to obset~e the progress of the work.

CHAPTER XV

CONCLUSIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Census is a gigantic and time bouhd operation with implication at every level. Planning for the wel­fare of the country depends upon the data collected from the field through Census functionaries wnc are drafted from different Departments of the State Gov­emrnent. It is the obligation of the Cemms Organi­sation to 'train up the field functionaries properly for the collection of accurate data and also to perform effective supervision on the field work at every stage.

The si3e of the enumerator's block may be minimised to 500 persons or 100 househoids in urban ahd 600 persons of 120 households in nlfal areas. The most difficult portion in Individual Slip (as most field stair opined) i.e. the economic quc3tion may be rembdelled suitably in the next censUS using simpler and more straight questions.

The formal order of postponement of trarisfer ' of officers and stuff engaged in the census till the opera­{ion is over issued by the state Government was not followed practically. Following of transfer of Distiict Census officerS and Sub-divisional Census Ufficers we had to face difficulties. On the other hand, at certain stagesl some of the empleyees were found interested W enroll their Jjftmes in reset'ie list to avoid beil:1g transferred out to interibr ar~as during the period. All attempts. should be made to follow the orders rigidly so as to adhere to the calendar strictly in order to complete the c'~nsus on time with same set of persons as far as practicable without any avoidable hitch.

Inspite m all steps take~ by this organisatioi1 a good number of posts. could not be filled up during 1991 Census causing a great pressure on the small number of ~xperit~nced staif who were specially engaged for 'traitiin~ and supervision of work in the field; How-6vf!f; dUe to tlte utttifing aDd dedic-ated ierv~ Uf tbOio

experienced staff the situation was overcome. I con­vey my heartfelt thanks to them without whose ac,tive co-operation the 1991 Census could not be a success.

I CO:1vey my gratitude to Shri I. P. Gupta. lAS. Ch,ief Secretary to the Government of Tripura who took keen mte1'cst ill ~ of conduct of 1991 Census Operations.

I am grateful to the Heads of Departments/Offices of the Government of Tripura for the co-operation ex'tended for the successful conduct of 1991 Census. Specially I must mention the co-operation of the sec~tary, Edlication Department, Govt. of Trlpura. The assistAnce and co-operation received fmm the DirectOr of StatisticsJ Goff. of Tripurn in connection with the 1991 Census Operations is note-worthy.

I shall be failing in my duties if I do not express my deep sense of gratitude to Shri A. R. Nanda, lAS. Itegisttar General & Ex-officio Census Commissioner. india who was very . kind and considerate to me even hi my personal matters. His encouragement with his invaluable advice, inspiration and constant guidance made th-e 1991 Census operations successful.

, Though the instructioris for generation of Primary Census Abstract aI1d Editing and Coding are very much scientific and systematic yet in practice it \vas observed that the staff recruitM on contract basis and conSolidated pay found some short cut procedure to achieve their daily norm easily.

SUBJECT: Planning for the 1991 Census--Jurisdic~ional changes and list of villages.

Sir.

As you know census aims to enumerate as at the census date. all ipdividuals in the country. once and ~mlr .once. 1.~. "':lthout omission or duplication. These mdlvlduals bve In some area or .-the other either bv themselves or in clusters. In order. therefore that a complete coverage is achieved at the cells~s. it L'l absolutely necessary to prepare a list of localities and other areas comprising the entire country.

. 2. 'Ye have in this country been following the admi­mstratIve set up for most of our statistical activities including the population census. Each state or union territory is divided into districts, each district into tahsi1s I taluks! police statiol1s/development blocks and below this level we have our villages and towns. We all know that there have been severa:! juril>oictional chang~s between .1981 and now. There may be some more In the commg months. We should at this stage take stock of all these changes and update our own frame. To achieve this·, you will be required to obtain lists of the districts and tahsils/talukas etc. and compare the same with the corresponding 1981 lists. Jurisdictional changes are made by government notifi­cations delineating or modifying areas. You should obtain copies of such notifications in support of all changes that have taken place after 1981 census if nor already received.

3. You should also obtain lists of villages from the State Government (Revenue Department) ~nd compare the same with your 1981 lists. Discrepancies should be reconciled to ensure one to one correspon­dence. The village lists should comprise not only the inhabited ones, but also the uninhabited ones. Within a village there could also be hamlets. You should obtain lists of all such hamlets and compare the same with your circle and charge registers. This process can be expedited by sending a copy of the 1981 list to each Tahsildar e1c. for updating.

4. As you know. the state governments establish local bodies (municipalities etc.) within their jurisdic-

28

tions by notifica·tion in the official gazette. These noti­fications delineate areas which would comprise the municipal limits in terms of villages or parts thereof. There is no doubt that between 1981 and now there have been several additions to the list of local bodies. You should not only obtain such a list from the state government (Local self government department) but should procure copies of notifications also creating new municipalities etc. or effecting jurisdictional changes in the existing municipalities .

5. I need hardly say that any illcompleteness in building up your frame! on the basis of these lists will have serious. <:QnSequences. Extreme care to ensure accuracy is essential. You should set uP' a small cell to monitor all. relevant information in thi. matter and ensure that copies of notifications effecting jurisdictional changes come to your office as and when these are issued. You should send a report of com­pliance to me by 31st Au~uS't. 1987.

6. Please acknowledge receipt of this communication.

Yours !faithfully.

CENSUS OF INDIA 1991-CIRCULAR NO. II

SUBJECT: : Appointment of Census Officers-Issue of Notifications.

Under Section 4 of the Census Act. 1948. the officers who will bo responsible for the taking of the census have to be notified through orders of the 'concerned authority and these orders have to be gazetted. I am indicating here the levels and other details of such census officers who have to be noti5cd. Similar notifi­cations were issued at the 1981 Consus and I would suggest that you consult the concerned fiks and forward draft notifications to the State Government/U.T. Administration for thdr consideration and Ilotifi.cation. This would save considerable time.

2. In the districts. the Collectors/Deputy· Commis­sioners would be the Principal Census Ollicers who would be totally responsible for the operations while in the case ()f cities which are under municipal corpo­rations the Municipal Commissioner or the Chief Executive Officer. depending on the local designation. would functi011 as the Principal Census Officer. Obviously. the officers at these levels can only func­tion effectively. if they have a suitable level of assis­tance. Therefore, as was qone last time. it is pro­posed to notify officers of the appropriate level such as Headquarters Assistants to the Collectors/Deputy Commissioner (in some states referred to as Personal Assistant to the Collector), Additional Collectors. ADMs as Distriot Census Officers, Senior Deputy Collector at Headquarters or Deputy Chief Executive Officers or Deputy Municipal· Commissioners as the Census Officers for the relevant area. Apart from these two levels. it would be essential that we have oiRcers who will be incharge of specific area which constitute part of their normal administrative jurisdiction and also develop levels for supervision (like subdivisional or Revenue Divisional Officers). On this basis the chart which is enclosed indicates the levels and designations which would have to be notified.

3. In the case of areas which fall within the occu­pation and control of defence service, Central Reserve Police. Border Security Force and similar organisations. as was done last time. in consultation with the autho­rities concerned. the Director of Census Operations will determine the Census Ofl'icers for these areas and in consultation with the Census Officers concern­ed •• the Charge Officers/Superintendents and other levels also. While determining who would function as

29

the Census Officers and that for other levels. it would be sufficient if internal orders are passed designating such authorities and these need not be gazetted. It must be emphasised that areas under contonment beard will be treated on par with municipal towns and noti­fied area committees etc. and that the areas referred to here are those which are distinct from cantonment board areas as such.

4. The State Government/U.T. Administration may be requested to issue necessary notifications appointing the Principal Census Officers and in the same notifi­cation delegating to ·them. by virtue of the power vest­ed in the State Government/UT. Administration under Clause 4 of Section 4 of the Census Act, the Hutho­rity to appoint other Census Officer:>. The Slate Govern­ment/U.T. Administration may also be requested to issue orders authorising declarations under Clause 3 of Section 4 of the Act to be signed by the Census Officers for the local area concerned. These delegations would reduce ·the workload at higher level. It will be noticed that the State Government/U.T. Adrr.ini­stration would have to authorise not merely the Princi­pal Census Officers but other levels also to sign th.! declaration under Clause 3 of Section 4, for example with such a declaration, the Tahsildar or B.D.O. can appoint Census Officers for smaller areas and he can also issue the orders regarding supervisory officers. etc.

5. As was done in the previous census. it would be necessary for the State Government/U.T. Administra­tion to notify the DCOsjJDCOs/DDCOsIADCOs as Census Officers under Section 4(2) and authorise them to appoint other Census Officers under Section 4(4).

6. Copies of the drafts suggested by YOll to thl> 'State Government/U.T. Administration for each of the appropriate levels may please be sent to us for informa­tion in due course.

Please acknowledge receipt of this circular.

Yours sincerely.

T~ Sub-.divisional Gffi('e.s-Cum-Sub-divi~jonal Census Officers.

Sir.

A'l. y{)U are, aware, the thUieenth country-wit'le de­cenll1al Census of India is due in early i9~),}. In the very r;ature of the whole operation. whose dime))­sior~ and size are undougtedly gigantic. the officials ,at Van0US levels. particularly the District MagiS/trates' &. Collectors and Sub-divisional Officers. would play key roles. rThe introduction of the subject. along with a brief. outline of the preparatory steps to be taken In phased way, is indicated below. The information in details would follow in the subsequent circulars. which are to be ~ent consecutively.

Introductmn : The populatic;m cen.Sus would be conducted in 1991. the reference date of which 'will be : the Ist March. 1991. bu~ the preparat01'Y ste, ~:, ~.e. the firSt phase of house numbering and houselis'tipg operations would hav\~ to be completed by 1990. Since the period from mid-May to mid-June. 1990 would be sui1able to undertake the said operations. taking the previous experience as guide, a number of steps has to. be taken well in advance.

(i) NOtification of CeT'1SUs, Officers: Notification of, Censu~ Officers has alreadv. . ?ee~ issu~

-under Tnpura GO'i~rmnC!1t Notification 1'0. F. 1(220)/STAT fEStTj89 dated 4tb NQveIll­ber. 1989. The entire territQry would hav~ to' be delineated into Charges. Circles and Enumerator's area of operation.

- (ii) Sp!!tdYilg lip of revenue villageJ for formation oj Enumertttor's operation area: As in 1981 Census. the Development Blocks "\"QuId be treated as the rural dlarges of 1991 Census. The advantage of treating the C.D. Blocks as Charges would be that there would be scope, for comparability of data block-wille ip bet­ween the diii'N:ent censuses.

Treatment of revenue villages as smallest unit (for the purpose of 1991 Census) w0ujd in­volve the splitting up of each, vjtJ,a.ge with well-defined boundaries conforming to the yardstick of 100 to 150 f>ioosehoJ$ compris­ing 600 population so far as Urb~n areas are concerned and 700 to 800 populatIon so far as Rural areas are concerned. One of the yard-

3l

sticks is that one Enumerator is nott 5J.lPposed to walk more than 8 Kms. There would how­ever. he exception in a very few ~es. whicb c~r:not perhap:; be avoided in a hilly State like l' npura. The formation of EnumerMoF's, .lock b~ splitting up of revenue villages and that alao WIth. ~veIJ defined boundaries is the first pre­reqUISIte. The ksuc of well defined bcullda­r~es i~ emph~sised ;in order to avoid any such sJtu&tion whIch rmght _ve sOOl'e either fQr oo<iec cnunumtion OE oftl'lappiug. 50 the fo~ation o~ Elll.!mCl:ator's bf<>d; \\'Ou:ht require phy&!,Cal verification before drawlng u~ Qf ~.' by the ~ncel~e{l fiekt staff under your con~oI. who fS wolt cQnversant ",ith the area . and ropogl;aphy.' This would facilitalte the allotment of j!he Enumerator's block: code number t~ the said blocks by ihe Charge Officers aWOlnted by you to emroie easy iden­tification of the partil..'ular Enumerator's block.

(iii) Locatitm Code Number qf Uni4: The Loca-tion Code Number of the ri:.wenue villaBe! would be given tram 'the end of the' Directo­rate of Census. OperatiGD.S. The number of Enumerators. ClreTe Supervisors. and Charge Officers along with reserve can be assessed and the· Government would be :m:t\ved fer pernris­s.ion i{) utilise the services of officeJrS" of ditJ­eren·t, Departments for thtJ above job: UavinJ completed the above work;,.. ~ mqu,iotment of honorarium can be assessed. All these works are to be d'Ol!e according to s-chedul~. There i6 neces8it~ of printing of handboQka oontaimng instructions to Enumerators/Super­visors well ahead, for the purpose ,of trainl1ll to be imparted bi)' you at relevant tiine.

(1v) Census Calendar: In order to ensu~ that the worb are done according to scltec':ule, a calendar has heeD chalked out. Copy of the same is enclosed herewith (Annexure-A). CQmments/suggestion from your end will 'he highly appreciated.

(v) The Cem~ Act: ']!be. copy ~ *t: _file is eflCloMd her.e\Vith, (AnTl'CllXUR!)/ SO' tht you may fmniliarise yourself with 111b prm<i>siOn8 and

become aware of the duties and responsibili­ties to be discharged by you. There is oue salient provision in the Act which guaranteell the confidentiality of census records which will not be open for inspection or admissible tll evidence ill any judicial proceedings e:xcept in the case of any prosecute for offence under the Census Act.

(vi) Appointment of Charge O/ficerJ-jCircie Super­visors. and Enumerator$: On the strength of Notification issued by the Government of Tripura vide No. F. 1 (220)/STAT IESIT /89 dated 4-11-1989 Charge Officers. Circle Super­visors and Enumerators would be appointed by you as per model proforma to be supplied by us in due course.

(vii) Clerical assistance; The following staff would be provided at different administrative levels: . •

Office Clericat:-asslstance

1. District Magistrate .& One U.D. Oerk and one Peon Collector

2. Sub-divisional Officer

3. A gartala Municipality

One L.D. Clerk

One U.D. Clerk

The Government of India will bear the ex.­penditure. The posts are likely to be in exis­tence upto May. 1991.

(viii) Classification---.Rurall Urban: Besides the Agartala Municipality there are 11 Notified Areas and Six Census towns. The idea of men­tioning the same is that the location code for rural areas will bear one kind of number. i.e. Arabic and urban areas will bear Roman number. The following examples may make the position clear.

A Location Code Number 1/3/38 would refer to the 38th village in the 3rd C.D Block of the 1st District. Similarly a location code like 2/II/3 would refer to Ward 3 of the 2nd town of 2nd district.

(ix) Charge Officers, SuperviSOrs and Enumerators: , During last census the services of following

categories of officers were utilised for different jobs mentioned below:

I. Enumerators .

2. Circle Supervisors

3. Charge Officen

Primary School Teachers, Pan chayat Secretaries, Tahasil dars, Social Education Work ers, Village Level Workers etc

Higher Secondary/High school Teachers, Extension Officer •. Revenue Inspectors etc. '

Block Development Officers' \, Inspector of Schools. Head­masters of Higher Secondary Schools etc.

It is' proposed that the services of same categories of officers could be utilised for the purpose of housenumbering and houselisting for 1990 as well as population census for 1991. The comments I suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated as the State Government have to be moved well in time. The quantum

32

'l! honorarium to be paid would be communi­cated shortly ,on hearing about the same from the office of the Registrar General, India.

(x) Training; As in 1981 Census. training of Census Officers and if possible. Charge Officers will be imparted at headquarters so that the Census Officers and Charge Officers I.:1ay in their {urn impart training to Circle Supervisors and Enumerators at the approximate time which would require advance planning. Keeping this on view, the approximate time has been men­tioned in census calendar. Comments / suggt"f­tions in this regard will also be highly welcont(!.

T!lls Directorate will always be at your servIce and try to help you at all stages it is the Enumerator who will produce the result under close supervison of Circle Supervisor ~d Ch~rge Officers. The training pro­troned In census calendar. Comments/sugges­tions in this regard will als.o be highly welcome.

(xi) Charge Registers: f he effective supervision by the Charge Officers will be possible if some monitoring system is adopted. So the Charge Registers with approviate columns have been devised, as was done during last census also. The proforma for Charge Register with diff­erent columns would be supplied to you in due course.

4. May I suggest that you may consider to entrust an officer in your office who can deal "ith censul!! matters so 1hat he could .assist you light from the start to co-ordinate and monitor the work at aD stages and levels in order to make the operation smooth. .

5. The conduct of deeennjat census is a continuou. process and was' c!o':le' successfully all !hrough. It is our firm belief that with your dose-co-operation and assistance we would achieve success and main­tain the unbroken tradition,' since the work is of all India importance.

I should be grateful if yOu kindly drop a line in acknowledgement of this Cir~ular.

GoVERNMENT OF INDIA/BHARAT SARKAR

MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS/GRIH MANTRALAYA

North Block. New Delhi-110 001. May 10. 1989.

To

The Chief Secretaries of

All States and Union Territories

SUBJECT: Boundaries of Administrative-Uni~Fixity during 1991 Census Operations

Sir.

As you know, preparations for the 1991 Census of Jndia have already begun. Census aims to enumerate all individuals· in the country, once and only once i.e. without omission or duplication. It has been

decided that the next decennial popula.tion census would be conducted under the directions of the Re­gistrar General and Census CoJDJDissioner for· India in February-March. 1991. To ensure complete cove­

rage at the Census. the entire country will be divided into small enumeration blocks within tbe framework of the administrative units in the States and Union Territories. The process of carving out the blocks has to commence ,much in advance of the actual census and they will be got marked on the census maps to

obviate overlapping or omission of areas. In fact. monitoring of jurisdictional changes after the 1981 Census is being done by the State Census Directorates with a view to updating the census maps. In this connection. the Registrar General and Census Com­missioner for India.· had already written to you vide his Jetter No. 9/12/87-CD(CEN) dated 24th Junc. 1987. In addition to the above referred letter. the Registrar General and Census Commissioner for India had also addn:ssed you a letter No. 9/1S/89-CD(CEN) dated 17th February, 1989 regarding tbe fixity of

boundaries.

1. We hPe. in this country. been following the administrative set up for most of our statistical acti· vines including tho population census. Each State

39

and Union Territory is divided into districts. each District into Tahsils/Talukas/Police Stations/Develop. ment Blocks and below this level we have our villages and towns. We aU know that there have been several jurisdictional changes between 1981 and now. There may be some more in the coming months.

3. I would like to emphasise here that for the effi­cient conduct of the 1991 Census of India. it is neces­sary to ensure that the boundaries of the administrative units are not d.isturbed after the blocks have been determined and until the census enumeration and the tabulation of data are compl.ted. It is expected that the demarcation of blocks would be taken in band .from the 1st October. 1989.

4. If the areas of the administrative units on the

basis of which the census data are collected. are altered after the Consus. the usefulness of the data.

you will doubtless a.ppm:iate. would be considtrabIJ ~. It is. themoro. desirablo to..CDJUJe that • far as possible. the boundaries of administrative UBi. ~main ~isturbed throughout the major part of tile next decade. Hence. wherever any changes in II» jurisdJction of the present administrative units are found necessary. it would be desirable to efteCt tho

dlange weD befar. tbo eaUlllCl8fOr'. bJocb .. ctaa.r. cated. i.e. befOl"e 1st October. 1989.

S. In tho circumstances. GoveDQDent of India would

appreciate if all proposals for ftICOIlstituting area or makiug adjustmenla in tho jurisdictioG of lDunicipeli.

ties. revenue villages. tahsils. police stations. develop­ment blocks. talukas. sub-divisions. districts. revenue divisions etc.. which may be pending or which JIUly be taken up in the near future are finalised and given effect to before the lst October. 1989. All such cbaDgcs may please be intimated to the State Census Director concerned and to the Registrar General and Census Commissioner for India. In any case. the State Government may kindly ensure that no cbanges whatsoever are made in the boundaries of .these units during th~ period from 1st January. 1990 to 30tb June. 1991.

6. Further correspondence in reg~ to this matter if any. may kindly be addressed to the Registrar General and Census Commissioner for India. 2/ A.

SHRI 1. P. GUPTA,

Chief Secretary.

Tripura, Agartala.

D.o. No. 12-145(11)/98

DearShri 1st March. 1990

It hardly needs any emphasis that the decennial census is a national . task. It is conducted under the supervision and guidance of the Directorate of Census Operations. But the State Government personnel are the implementing agencies so far the field work and compilation work are concerned. It is also in the interest of the State Government that tb.e census cove­:rage is total in the State and the works are carried out according to the schedule as per time-bound pro­gramme. The data collected in the operation would indicate the impact of the five year plans, reflecting the social and cultural and ecOnomic setting as it obtains today and it would also be a pointer to the futuro in the sense that the presentation of the data would facilitate formulation of different plans and programmes of the State Government.

2. The staff deputed for census works from various departments of the State Government should involve themselves in the task ungrudgingly and ensure that 1I1e prerequisites like formation of enumerator's block .. giving of location code. appointment of enumerators circle supervisors and charge superintendents etc., training of the census personnel at different levels. printing of census schedules to be canvassed are com­pleted in time.

3. The population census would be undcrtaken in 1991 taking the sunrise of 1st March. 1991 as reference data no doubt. but houselisting operation is 1:0 be conducted from mid May to mid June. 1990 •. which is a preparatory step fOT 1991 population census ..

. 4. By now you would have received circulars from the Director of Census Operations. Tripura. Circular No. 1 broadly detailing the outline ~f ~e stc?ps to be taken by you. Circular No. 2 mentlOnmg the, pro­cedure for delineation of enumerator's block, for house­numbering and houselisting operations, Circular No. 3 explaining the Location Code including the procedure thereof and the fourth one in relation to the Charge Register to be maintained by the Charge Officer with copy to you so as to monitor the working of the enumerators and circle supervisors in the fIeld.

S. The hierarchy is well known to you, at the ~ss­root level there would be the enumerators to be super­vised by the Circle Supervisors under the co~trol and direction of the Charge Officer to be appomted by Sub-divisional Officers. The appointment of. enume­rators and circle supervisors depends upon the forma­tion of the enumerator's blocks which should be formed in such a way that no person is left o~t nor any person is counted for more than one tnne. That

46

means there should not be either any scope for under enumeration or for overlapping. In order to arrest such situation the formation of the enumera~or's bloct with a clear out and well defined boundary is a must and that is the basic work to be done by you and this is to be done only after the physical verification as the clear cut and well defined boundary would in­volve the question of permanent land marks like rivers charas. roads. nalas etc. Wherever. it is not available some such method is to be evolved so that the boUD­daries can be defined and it may vary from place to place. As for example. one house may be the point for demarcation by mentioning the name of the head of the family of the house.

6. In order that the enumerators can know the area where he is supposed to work. the map of the area would have to be furnished to him and in order to draw up the map physical verification on the field mentioned eirlier should be done. The services of Panchayat Secretaries of Panehayat Organisation. V.L.Ws of Agricultural Organisation besides. that of Tahasildar would have to be enlisted for formation of such blocks. .--

7. The houselisting operations would be conducted from mid May to mid June and the training programme can be conducted well in time. It would be matter of great relief if the enumerator's block could be formed before the training programme at Sub-division I Block level starts ~y March, 90 positively.

8. I request you to make it a point tc ~ that the work in connection with the formation of enumerators blocks is done in suCh a way that the training could be imparted well ahead of mid May to mid. June by which period the hquselisting operation is to be completed as per the census calendar prepared by the Director of Census •. Operations and supplied to you along with the Circular No. 1.

To

Shri.

Yours sincerely,

CENSUS OF INDIA 1991-CIRCUI~AR No. 9

SUBJECT: Preparation of District an,j Tahsil/Police Station/CO Block/Circle and equiva­lent level m::lps fOor District Census Hand Books---199 I Census.

This circular rdates to the preparation of district! tahsil and equivalent level maps to be included in the District CenslIs Hand Books (OCHB) for the 1991 Census. In this circular wherever a reference is made to a tahsil, it should be regarded as a reference to the corresponding levels in the State/UT concerned by whatever name these are called e.g .• Tahsil/ TaJuk/Police Station/CO Block/Circle etc. I draw your attention to the circular No.2 of the 1991 Cen­sus scnt vide reference No. 24/3/87-Map dated 24 May. 1988 on updating of administrative jurisdictions for 1991 Census. The preparation of the maps for the District Census Hand Books for which broad outlines are provided here will take into account the updated administrative units. The follow u_!) action to this programme will be taken up by the Deputy Registrar General (Map) from time to time.

Seals of the Maps

It is extremely difficult to adopt a uniform scale for district/tahsil maps of all the States/UTs due to varying sizes of districts/tahsils. However. there should be a uniform scale for these maps at the draft­ing stage. The drafting scale for the district maps will be 1 :250,000 (0.4 cm=l Ian) and that of tahsil and equivalent level maps at 1:50.000 (2 cm = 1 km). The maps should be clearly produced and hence the printing size may be ideal in A-3 size (42 cm x 30 ern) with one or two folds to be attached in D.C.H.B so that all details are distinct after printi·ng in the rele­vant volumes:

62

Boundaries. oames aod other components on maps The boundaries of the districts and tahsils should

be clear and identifiable on maps. The spellings of names of districts in English which confirm to that of Survey of India will be communicated by this office soon. In case of any difference in spelling with the record of the State/UTs Revenue Departments. the same will be settled by map Division on your. report­ing matter.

The names of Sub-units of the district. viz., tahsils and villages etc. will be according to the spelling as given by the StatejUT Government. I am quite sure that you have alre~dy taken up this matter as part of your exercise as ~ontained in the circular No. 24j3!87-Map dated 24 May, 1988. It was envisag­ed in the above circular that you would get authenti­cation on "working maps" of districts and tahsils from the authorities such as Deputy Commissioners/ District Magistrates j Sub-Qivisional Officers /Tahsil­dars. This is very important to ensure the validity of the maps on the basis of which the Map Division will process further leading to the authentication of all ,maps facing the international borders and coast­lines of the country by the Survey of India/Ministry of Defence and Minstry of External Affairs as the case may be. A list of all administrative units (dis­tricts and tahsils etc.) after up-dating may please be forwarded to map Division by December. 1989.

Contents of District Maps

A. The district maps wiil contain the following in­formation:

1. International/State/District boundary, as the case may be. with location of district head-quarters. t.

2. Tahsil boundaries and location of tahsil head­quarters.

3. National Highway and State Highway witl;t numbers.

4. Important metalled roads and otper district roads.

5. Railway line with statIons (distinguish BrOad gauge. metre gauge. narrow gaug~).

6. River and streams.

7. Water features-Big tank (natural or artificial).

8. Towns according to size classes.

9. Important villages.

10. Post Office. Telegraph Office & Post & Tele­graph Offices (If combined).

II. Degree college and technical institutions.

12. Dak Bungalow. Rest House, Traveller's Bun­galow. Forest Bungalow et~.. by abbreviations as prescribed.

For the above, please consult the standard legend as given in Annexure-I. The depiction of roads on district map will be made according to the Survey of India Road Map (1 : 2.S M) 1979 edition, which may be purchased from the nearest Survey of India sales affice. In addition some important roads of district importance may also be shown. However, depic­tion of restricted roads on the DCHB maps wilt - be governed by this office secret letter N,o. 1/3/8Q-Map dated 18-4-81 till a revised list ,of roads is issued by the concerned authority for which action is being initiated by this office. For your convenience. the classification of roads may be matched as below oil such maps:

Survey of India 1,:205 M road map classifications

1. All weather motorable: National & State Highways; others according to importance.

2. Motorab1e in fair weather

Road Classification as recommended r.,.. DCH(B) maps of the Census

1. National Highways with numbers.

2. State Highways with numbers

3. Important metalled roads.

• 4. Unmettalled and other roads.

It may further be noted that roads at S.No.I-3 above will be shown both in District as wel1 as Tahsil maps. Roads at S.No. 4· win be additionally shown in Tah­sil maps.

Regarding depiction of railway lines, a copy or the latest railway map brought out by the Railway Board or the Survey of India. will be sent to you separately after we procure from the relevant offices IS to be followed. Since the maps will be printed in reasonably small sCale, the depiction of rivers and

63

streams may be restricted to the main and important tributaries. The flow of the river should be marked by ~n arrow at appropriate place and names of rivers/ tributaries etc., are to be written at suitable places. Among water features, only natural or artificial tanks of fairly large size may be shown suitable to resist the reproduction in the size prescribed. Irri­gaLi_'n projects, large water reservoirs, embank­ments or bunds are not to be shown. In this con­nection, your attention is invited to the letter No. F-7(5)/6SD(qS-IlI) dated 6th July, 1966 and D.O. No. 4722/D(GS-III) dated 7th December 1971 from the Ministry of Defence as sent to your office during the preceding censuses of the 1971 & 1981 vide this office reference No. I/l/79-Map dated 13th June, 1980 and No. 1/3/SO-Map dated 18-4-81.

ContEnt of the Tahsil and equivalent level Maps

These maps are primarily meant to give informa­tion regarding location of aU Census villages with boundaries, size of population. urban spread with location codes and important infrastructure facilities in the tahsils. The location codes for villages are to be written legibly as indicated for them in the tables of village information in the D.C.H. The technique of giving village location codes should be by Tahsill Taluks etc.. of the district in serpentine manner, as given in the D.C.H. maps of the 1981 Census. The location codes of urban areas with spread will be marked by Roman numerals with namc. This sys­tem will provide a characteristic mosaic of rural and urban systems on such maps. The rural (villages) area-part or full if merged in the urban areas and in­vestigated at the time of up-dating of the geographi­cal work. should project in such a manner that no confusion may occur in totalling of the serial num­bers of village ]ist as presented in the D.C-H. For having a safeguard of this complexity, a list should be generated to map out the details. In effect, the wholly merged villages in urban areas may not be shown; rather a statement may be useful in the ana­lysis of the details in the text. On the other hand • the partly merged villages in urban areas will have their location codes and the reflection of the areal space on maps should be preserved.

In addition this map will contain well presented and drafted information of a series of parameters on population sizes of villages duly graded, vb.. below 200. 200-499, SOO-999, 1000·4999 and 5000 & above population. In case of the less densely populated States/UTs or in other special cases. this grading can be modified to reflect the real population disper_ sal.

The tah.il m8!pS. in particular. will indicate the following items:

(1) Boundary ot tahsil with location of tahsiL head­quarters.

(2) Boundary of villages with location code num­bers in a serpentine manner starting from left side and gradually moving towards right. Again the numbers will be given.

(3) Boundary of Reserved forest with name.

(4) Population sizes of villages in grades as noted above.

($) Uninhabited villages by symbol with location code numbers.

(6) Urban area with location code by Roman '. ,~

numerals.

(7) National Highway. State Higlfway. Important metalled roads and Unmetalled roads.

(8) Railway line with Station-Broad gauge. Metre gauge and Narrow gauge.

(9) Water feature: Tank (natural. artificial); pOnd. lltke. etc.

(10) Canal with important distributaries.

(J 1) Service facilities such as Post Office. Tele­praph Office. if combined function-P&T; High School/Higher Secondary School/College, Police Station (excluding Railway Police Station); Hospital. Primary Health Centre, Dis­pensary. Maternity and Child Welfare Centre; important village market/Hat/Mandis. etc.

Some precautions are essential in depicting boun­daries in tahsils. In depicting the boundary of the tahsil. different types of boundaries are to be used symbolically depending upon the location of the tahsil and if the tahsils face international boundary. If the tahsil has an International boundary or forms b0un­dary with another State/UT or another District. ap­propriate International/State/District boundary are to be shown. Similar may be in the case of a district map where various level boundaries need to be shown precisely. A model of Darjiling district enclosed may btl a guideline in this. regard to follow­(Annexure-3). The reserved forest boundary accord­ing to the Chief Conservator of Forests of States /urs \ with names by the prescribed symbol may be shown. No other types of forest will be shown on tahsil maps.

The representation of roads and railways on the tahsil maps will be the same as specified for district maps. In addition, the tahsil maps wilt also show important unmetalled roads and other roads as per thO State Government. However. tAis may be

64

checked with the road map of India in case of any doubt.

The important water features need be depicted with the same precautions as indicated fOr the distrlct maps (consult Annexure 2).

General Points: (1) While showing the service facilities such as POS(

Office, Higher Secondary School. Hospital etc., the corresponding district/tahsil maps of 1981 may also be compared with the data col­lected for the 1991 Census. In general. aU service facilities existing during 1981 should normally continue in 1991 with increments in specific items. In case of any discrepancies, the matter is to be probed for settlement.

(2) There will be only one inset in the district as well as tahsil map which will show the loss or gaiJl of territory within the district/tahsil during 1981-91.

(3) If a district has lost a complete tahsil or a part of some tahsils. the inset map will indicate the boundary as it existed in 1981 and the area lost will be shaded and explained in the legend of the inset map in specific cases of the district map concerned.

(4) Ir the district has gained some territory.' the in­set map will depict the boundary of this dis­trict as in 1991 and the portion which has been added during 1981-9f will be shaded appro­priately and explained in the legend to the in­set.

(5) There may be cases where a new district has been carved out by transferring areas from more than one district. In that case the inset map will show the boundary of the new district as in 1991 and areas transferred from different districts will be shaded differently and explain­ed in the legend of the inset map suitably. both in the cases of distri¢t gaining the areal and district losing the same.'

In case of brhsiL maps also similar inset map show­ing transfer of area including village level transfer and newly created tahsil will be prepared. A map of Gudur taluk is enclosed as a model showing various types of transfers (Annexure 4).

Please acknowledge receipt.

Yours sincerely.

TRIPURA

To

The District Magistrate & Collectoc-cum­District Census Officer. ' Sub-Divisional Officer-cum-Sub-Divisional Census Officer.

SUBJECT: Location Code Number ,to administra­tive units for' 1991 Census.

Sir.

As you are aware. during census operations there should not be scope eith~ for under-enumeration or for overlapping. In order to avoid such a situatiOn. the most important requirement of census is that no unit . is left out from· being covered and all the units are clearly identified. There are at present 3 dis­tricts, ] 7 Development blocks and 18 towns in Tri­pura. So far the houselisting operation is concerned. the schedules containing housing particulars and other related matters are to be canvassed no doubt but the main problem would be to identify the area to which those schedules to be canvassed relate. For this pqr­pose, the minimum details necessary would be the names of the state. district. qevelopment block. town and village. It is evident that writing of these detaiJ.s on every sheet would involve a lot of scrlptory work. An easy method of identification has. ther~

fore. been evolved. namely th~ Location Code. The location code is it simple device by which every area lying within any administrative unit in the State can be identified. Each such area can then be referred to by a combination of sJ.lCh numbers. Every dis· trict. every development bMck, every town and every village can be identified by allotting it a distinct num· ber. Similarly, code numbers are also to be given to the forms and schedules of every household. For the -present I would like to confine your attention up­to Enumerator's blocks. It may kindly be kept in view that Location Code numbers need not be used in case of sub-division in any census schedules. In fine. this Directorate will assign location code num­ber upto village in rural areas and upto town in urban areas. It should be the responsibility of the Charge Officers to assign the location code numbers to enu­merator's blocks in rural areas and ward number / Circle number and Enumerator's block number in urban areas. The Enumerator will give number for buildings and census houses both in forms and in the houses during houselisting operation.

65

Dated, Agtll1aJa. the 12-1-90

For the purpose of houselisting operation only tho code numbers assigned for state, district, develop­ment block, town, vilJage etc. are to be used. The column number 3 of the enclosed list would be used at the time of actual enumeration during 1991.

The system of assigning location code for Tripura is briefly discussed below:

State: The Code No. 24 has been assigned for Tri­pura. This will form the first clement of Location Code

Districts: The districts of Tripura are given three different location code numbers. i.e. West Tripura - 1 North Tripura - 2 South Tripara - 3

This number will form the second element of the location code.

Deyelopment Blocks: Every development block in a district is serialised in a convenient manner and numbered continuously within the c;istnct commen­cing from number 1. A list of Development Blocks. assigning the code numbers. is enclosed. This num· ber will form the third element of the location code for rural areas.

Villages: A revenue village is considered as the smallest administrative unit for rural areas and ac­cordingly. every such village will have a code num­ber. The revenue viIJages within the de-velopment blocks are arranged in a serpentine manner' as far sa practicable starting from the north-west point of tho Jevelopment blocks and ending down to the south­east or south~west point. Geographical contiguity of the village has been maintained while assigning the code numbers. The location code number thus given for each village is also enclosed. This number will form the fourth element of the locatIon code for rural areas.

Towns: Since there are not more than ten towns within each district in Tripura, these are numbered in one continuous series without reference to toe Dovelopment Blocks. However, the towns are given continuous number within the district and a list

of assigning these number is enclosed. In order tc distinguish ·between towns and villages, the code numbers for towns are given in Roman figures. Thus. the Roman number assigned to the town will form the third element of location code in urban areas.

In case of Agartala town. the ward or any of the administrative boundary will form the fourth element. For other Notified Area towns, or census towns the administrative division. if any, will form this num­ber. If no such division exists. then '1' will be shown in this ptace.

Enumerator's Blocks: As mentioned earlier, the work of assigning location code numbers to the blocks will have to be done by Charge Officer. After the completion of this work by Charge Officer' it • will re­quire scrutiny by the Sub-divisional Census Officers. Each village and town will be constituted into one or more enumeration blocks in accordance with the instructions issued in Circular NO.2. All the blocks within a charge are numbered serially in both rural and urban areas. The villages are to be arranged according to the location code and blocks number­continuously for the entire development block. This block number will form the fifth element of the loca­tion code.

The location code number of a viIIage will have four elements i.e. state, district, development block, village. Thus a location code number 24/1/4/49 would refer to the 49th village in the 4th development block of the 1st district of state, 24, i.e. Tripura. Similarly. a location code number LAlli 1/2 would refer to ward or circle 2 of the 1st town of 1st district of state, 24 i.e. Tripura. The Mtlt clement i.e. Enumerator's block number would be indicated within bracket after the location code. For example. 24/1/4/49 (60), 24/1/1/U.15),

This point is explained below in more details:

24/1/1/3 16.000 26 24/1/1/3(30) to 2411/1/3/(55)

A block number should also be assigned to a 'no population' village so that a further check can be

. made whether any habitation is there or not at pre­sent.

In the enclosed list of village with code numbers. it will be noticed that some villages are shown as part. In such a case the other part of a village ha; been included within the municipal/notified area limit.

A:s SQOD as the delineation of blocks within a village or town is over, Charge Officer should go ahead with the allotment of continuous block number within his charge.

I would be grateful if you kindly acknowled~ receipt of the circular.

Sir. I WOU19 llring YOI.l! kind notice to the fact that the

variou; phases of conducting of census of 1991 have been explained in my Circular No. 1. In so far the hollseIisting operation is, concerned the manner of for·

.' mation of eI).umerator's . "locks upto the village level 'in . rural areas .and toWn level in urban areas has been exolained . in' Circular No 2. The administrative fr~me together with the l~ation code numbers. upto the village level in case of rural areas and town: level in urban areas have been spelt out tn CircUlar No~ 3. The procedure for the assignment of- code' numbers to blocks has also been explained in tbe:: said circular.

Next comes the maintenance of Ch~r~ Register after observance of the following formalities. viz.:

L Breaking up of 9ha~ges )nfo houselisting blocks:

2. Deployment of suitabli Pers~nnel as . enumera~ tors ac<iording to the norms indicated in Circu­lar No.2;

",J . " "''-~ '''.' i 3:~H~~ti9ti 'ot supervisor's circles, and

4. Appointment of circle supervisors. enumera· tors.

Having completed the above formalities, the de .. tails are to be filled up in charge/circle registers. To be more clear, the charge registers can be written up only after demarcation of houseIisting blocks and appointment of enumerators.

The Charge/Circle register is a register showin, the division of the area comprising within the charge into circles, villages, towns, census blocks and the name of the enumerators and supervisors concerned. The main idea in preparing this register is to ensure that all areas, both rural and urban. are covered

lO-2ROI/ND/95 67

Doted. AgartalQ. the 16 Feb 1990

durin~ both the Houselisting Operation' and actual Enumeration. From the operational point of view, this" register is' an extremely important and ilsefu) document. The Charge Officer would have to use the· charge 'register quite often as his basic control '(fOcument since it defines the blocks and specifies the ilSsignmerif of 'the work to enumerators.

There will be one charge register/circle register Cor ,every Charge/Circle for rural, and urban areas. That ,means these registers would have to be maintained for :.each rural and urban area separately. The chargel circle register wUI contain particulars in respect of aU>th~ villages both inhabited and uninhabited.

The charge/circle register wi]] be prepared in tri­plicate." One copy will have to be sent to the Sub· Divi&ional Officer. The second copy will have to be sent to this Directorate immediately after completion of the houselisting. operations, along with the filled

, in records. The third copy is to be retained with the charge officer to help in delineating, wherever neces·

,sary. for tne main enumeration in 1991.

. The heading ~or various columns of the charge I circle register for rural and urban areas separately

. 'are 8i~n in the Annexure. The instructions expJa-4ting the details to be recorded in the various column of the register are given below:

The estimated population of the Enume. rator's block is to be entered here.

The name, designation and address, both official and residential 0( tlte enumera­tor entrusted with tne bousenumbering and houselisting work: in respect of the block are to be recorded in this column. In the event of any change afterwards, the entrIes may·be revised accprWngly, SO that the register will show particulars 0{

SUBJECf: Delineation of enumerator's block for house-numbering and houselisting opera­

tions-1991 Census.

Sir, May I invite your kind attention to my Circular

No. 1 wherein I have mentioned that according to our calendar of events. the lrousenumbering and hous.­listing is due from mid-May to mid-June, 1990. In the course of the above operation, besides the house­listing schedules, information all enterprises will also be collected for obtaining detailed information on economic activities, as was done in 1981 Census ..

2. District Magistrates and Collectors and the Sub-Divisio~al Officers have already been appointed as. District and Sub-Divisional Census Officers to enable them to conduct and supervise the census ope­ration in their. respective areas.

2.1 The 'Charge Officer has to be appointed for each charge, that is, for each Development Block in case of rural areas and for urban areas which include the Notified Areas and Census Towns, besides Agartala Municipality.·

2.2 Next below the Charge Officers is the Circle Supervisor in charge of a circle to be constituted with a.b.out. 5 enumerator's blocks. The function of the SuperVisor is to -oversee the work of the Enumerators, test-check and -ensure that the forms and schedules reach the Enumerators in time.

2.3 The lowest but the most important functional level i~ the enumerator. The Enumerator would be in charge of one enumeration block or if the blocks are adjacent and smail, he may be kept in charge of more than one block, depending on administrative convenience and of work load etc.

3. The Government of Tripura have already issued notificati()n. delegating to you the powers to appoint different categories like Charge Officers, Circle Super­v~i's ana. El\ulJleratot&. "Special charges may have

71

Dated. Agartala. the 9th January, 1990

to be formed in case of defence establishment or B.S.F., C.R.P. camps etc. where the census operations will be conducted with the help of (he concerned authorities.

4. In para 2(ii) of my first circular, I have mentioned that the big revenue villages may have to be split for fomlation of enumerator's oI,1Cration area. The size of the revenue villages being slightly un-widely in most cases, we may have to split them into more than one enumerator's block. The guidelines to be fol1owed in regard to formation of such blocks are detailed below:-

4.1 Rural Areas: The starting point for the forma­tion of enumerator's block is the preparation of list of revenue villages for each Development Block within the Sub-Division. The list has been collected from your office as well as from the Block Development officers. I am enclosing a C.D. Block-wise list of revenue villages of your judsdictioo :for detailed scru­tiny. It would not be out of place to mention here that a village is to be taken as tIle area demarcated as "revenue mouza" by the Settlement Department. In case, only a part of village has been illcluded in the Municipality of Notifi~d Area, the remaining part of the revenue village will be treated as rural. This part has been included in the list of villages wilh a note that only a part has been induded in the rural areas.

4.2 The Charge i.e. Community Development Block will be divided into enumerator's blocks and circles. Normally, the size of one enumerator's block would be about 150 households or 750 persons. While forming the enumerator's block it may kindly be kept in mind that an enumerator is not required to travel more than 8 Kms. The word "Block" means any spe­cific area which can be clearly demarcated on the ground and this is formed for the purpo~ of census operation relating to houselisting and actual er,umeration. About 5 such blocks would constitute a circle. which should be placed in charge of a Supervisor. The revenue villages, the estimated population of which is more than 1,000, will have to be diyided into enumerator's blocks. There are also villages with very small popu­lation. Each such village will have to be constituted

into a separate enumerator's block. The most impor­tant point to be noted is that villages should not be clubbed for the fonnation of enumerator's block. It would be prudent if the enumerator's block is _ formed only after physical verification of area by village level workers, In cases of hilly terrain. the size of the enumerator's block may not conform to the yardstick of coverage of 750 persons and may have to be reduced to suit the local condition, if an enumerator is to travel more than 8 Kms. The optimum size of 750 persons per block is considered under ideal condition only. Minor. variation acco~ding to 10cII;l c<;ndition is always pOSSible. The most Importallt pomt IS that the enumerator's block should have fixed boundaries so that it can be very clearly demarcated on the ground and identified.

4.3 The following points may be kept :in view while demarcating enumerator's block:

(i) No enurneIat~r's block should be formed by joining a part of one village with another village or part of another village. An enumerato(s block may be either a whole village or a part of Village.

(ii) An uninhabited village will also be taken into account and form an enumerator's block.

(iii) The present-estimated populatio.n of t.he v!llage should be taken into account at the tlUle of delIneat· ing the enumerator's block.

4.4 Normally, 5 (five) enumerator's b!ocks wo.uld constitute a Supervisor's Circle. The important pOInts should be noted that the Supervisor's Circle should either be formed with full vill<,lge,ivillages or parts of big revenue village. For example, if the .population of a village is 10,000, we may have to constitute 12/13 enumerator's blocks and in that case the revenue village should be divided into 2 Supervisor's Circ~e taking. 6 continuous enumerator's blocks as one cU"Cle. while the remaining 6/7 enumerator's blo(;ks would f~rm another Supervisor's Circle. On the o~her hand, if a village consists of about 3,000 population. 4 enume­rator's blocks should be carved out and only one Supervisor's Circle should be formed for the whole village.

4.5 Urban Areas: The enumerator's block would generally consist of about 120 households or a popu­lation of about 600. It is easier to apply the pop~l~­tion criterion for demarcating blocks. In the M'\lOlCI­pal town of AgartaJa, enumerator's bl~cks should not cut across Municipal division or w.ard, l.e-. enumefl!-to!s blocks would have to be formed tnd~p~n~en~y. Wlthtn each area and no enumerator's block s JunsdIctiOn. can cut across the ward boundary. In case of other N~d Area towns, there may not be a1?-Y W~!l~ ~or th~ p:ese~t. In such cases, any administratiVe C1lV1S10ll wlthm !he Notified Area may be taken into .account for c.a~!ng out enumerator's block. If there IS no such rl;IVlS!On enumerator's block should be demarc~te.d co~sldeflt?-g the whole Notified Area as one AdminIstratIve UUlt.

4.6 While demarcating blocks, it is essential to study the location of roads. streets, lanes, by·lanes a!ld such other landmarks so that blocks can be easdy defined in terms of those landmarks. The _blocks shou!d as far as possible be formed by groupmg houses m a row along a road, street or lane.

4.7 After demarcating the blocks, requiremenr of number of ~numerators and supervisors can be esti­mated. A list will then have to be drawn up of all available personnel and the blocks may be al10cated to the enumeca.tors and the circles to the Supervisors. Formal appointment letter in the prescribed fonn, which will be supplied by this Directorate, will have to be issued to each of them. Further a sufficient nuut­ber of enumerators and supervisors shall have to be kept in reserve to meet any emergencies in the last tIloment_ The quota of such reservation may 00 :fixed at 10% both for enumerator's and Circle Supervisors.

S. The constitution of blocks all the lines suggested above and selection of enumerators and supervisors may kindly be completed as early as possible, prefe­rably by the end of January, 1990.

6. Preparation of Maps: Maps ,,\:ill be prepared in 3 stages.. First, a separate map for each charge will have to be prepated. In urban areas. the charge map wi]] clearly show .the ward/circle and enumerator's block boundaries. In rural areas also, the enumera­tors block should be clearly indicated with the Super. visor's Circle being superimposed. Secondly, a notional map will be prepared showing the b0undaries of the mouzas, important landmarks within the moma and the inhabited area within the mouza and also enu­merator's blocks. This map will help easy identifi­cation. Thirdly, a lay-out sketch map will have to be prepared showing houses. These maps need not be prepared to a specific scale and therefore. can be done without any expertise.

7. Regarding the second and the third categories of maps, a separate circular will be issued shortly.

8. I would be grateful if you kindly arrange for preparation of list of charges, circles and blocks for the entire area of each Sub-division (charge wise). I would also request you kJ,ndly to arrange for prepara­tion of a list of personrlel, both gazetted and non­gazetted of various departments for appointment as Charge Officers, Circle Supervisors and Enumerators so that they can be appointed for the census operation.

Receipt of the Circular may kindly be acknOWledged.

SUBJECT: Formation of Enumeration Blocks for the second phase and preparation of the Abridged Houselist.

The Rouselisting ope:rations provide the basic fr9-me for the formation of the enumeration blocks for the census in 1991. However. since the Houselist­ing operations precede the actual count by a few months, it is essential to ensure that the coverage of the census houses and households at the time of the census is complete. This is achieved by the adop­ticn of an intermediate form called the Abridged HouseJ.ist.· . The Abridged Houselist contains certain essential de!ails from the Houselist and will be up­dated by the enumerator as he goes round his block in the census period. Therefore. soon after the House­listing operations are 'Over. the following two im­portant and essential steps have to be taken:

(a) The enumoration blocks are to be formed and the charge registers for the enumeration ope­ration written up.

(b) The Abridged Houselist is to be prepared on the basis of the redelineated blocks.

The' Charge Register is to be prepared in duplicate after the formation of enumeration block in the pres­cribed form enclosed herewith as Annexure IV. The Charge Map showing the redeIineated blocks and supervisors circles are also to be prepared in, the manner indicated for the preparation of charge Map fur Houselisting operations. This circular deals with aU these' aspects like delineation of the enumeration blocks. the writing up of the new Charge Registers

79

Dated, Agal'tal'a; lith June, 1990

for the enumeration and the preparation and up-dat­ing of Ithe Abridged Ho'USeliist in three separate parts which are as follows:

(1) Part I deals with the general principles of for­mation of the enwneration blocks.

(2) Part II contains the instructions as to how the Abridged Houselist will be prepared.

(3) Part III contai·ns the instructions to the enu­meratOr regarding use and up-dating of the Abridged Houselist during enumeration.

Spare copies are also sent herewi:h for distribution to the Charge Officers.

PART I

(Census Circular No.8)

Instructions {or Formation of Enumeration Blocb

1 h~ enumeration blocks for the count will be pre­pared on the basis of the Houselist. Each block will be carved out on the basis of the number of houses Or the number of households which are considered as an appropriate workload for the enumerator. One of the most convenient meth.xi> of carving out an enumeratbn block is to start from the first line of the HouseJist and to draw a line in red ink or red pencil after the approppriatc number of cehsus houses Or households has been counted. This system of marking 01 blocks may be continued till the end of the houselists of the area covered during the house­listing operations. In demarcating the enumeration blocks it IS essential to ensure that well known land­marks arc taken into consideration which will avoid duplication or omission by the enumerators. For ex­ample, in an urban area it is necessary for the block to be identified both at t:le beginning and at the end with reference to the street name, a prominent build­ing etc. and in Jle rural :HI.:a" by any other well recognised h:ature on the g: l.)ul1d. While no doubt convenient norms will be adopted for carving out the enumeraltlon blocks. if it is nolic~d that a few houses or households are left over when such blocks are formed, these can as well be added to the last block even if it marginally Increases the workload.

It is suggested that in the rural areas a workload of about 750 persons and in urban areas a workload of abom 6eO persons would be appropriate. These would roughly corr'::Sp011U to 150 households in the rural areas and about 120 house;101ds in the urban areas. The census blocks for the enumeration should be formed on the basis of these norms. In case the blocks fmmed for hO'..lselisting operations have not confirmed to these norms it is necessary that the house­lists are fully reviewed to carve out the new enume­ration blocks. Even in cases where some attempt haS been made to keep the block size for houselisting operations small, such a review must be made.

Generally the number of enumeration blocks will differ from the number of houselisting blocks. Con­sequently, the numbering of the blocks would als() change and to that extent the block numbers would have to be re-serialised so that the correct number is reflected in the individual slip, the household sche­dule and other records relating to the actual enume­ration. Obviously, having formed the enumeration blocks, it would be necessary to re-write the charge registers for the enumeration operations.

80

It may be adrled here that in the later stages of organising the houselisting operations, and during the houselisting operations themselves, quite often a num­ber of cases of omissions in numbering of villages or parts of villages or blocks may have come up. Such cases would have been covered in the houselist­ing operations with assignment of ad-hoc block num­bers. These are operational realities and while form­ing the enumeration blocks these must be taken into comideration with the proper location oode element of the block number being assigned.

Some of the main points which must be kept in mind in forming enumeration blocks are the follow­ing:

(1) When a houselisting block has to be split into two or more enumeration block_s, care should be taken to ensure that the demarcation of such blocks is definite. In other words. the enumeration blocks should be fonned so that their limits can conveniently and definitely be identifiable on the field and are such as can be clearly indicated to the enumerator.

(2) Enumer:ltion blocks must not cut across the boundaries ()f wards or Municipal divisions or C.D. Block Similarly, no block should in~ elude portions of two villages.

(3) Each village should be constituted into sepa­rate block or blocks. No block should cover parts of separate villages. Village means a revenue village and includes the entire revenue limits of the village and not merely the main village site/settlement area (Gramthana, Abadi etc.) of a village.

(4) Hamlets may be constituted into separate bloch to the extent possible. A block should not cover parts of separate hamlets.

(5) If a main village or a hamlet has a large popu· lation, it may be constituted into more than one block so as to maintain the work nOr:m8.

(6) Uninhabited tBechirag) villages and forest areas not coming within the revenue limits of any village should also be constituted into separate blocks. I.

(7) In forming the enumeration blocks, large ins­titutions such as Central Jails or Hospitals. etc may be constituted into separate blocks if

the population of such institutions enough. Otherwise. they may be within :he existin'! blocks.

is large included

(8) Railway colonies. labour camps in project areas, etc. may be constituted into separate blocks with well-identified boundaries. Such areas w:Jald normally have been formed into separate houselisting blocks. These may be retained or sub-divided. but the identity of these special areas should be main:tained.

(9) Care should be taken to see that no Sltructure is pal tly in one block and partly in another.

Areas designated as "strictly military areas" will be indicated to the census officers concerned. As is the practice Houselisting is not done in such areas. In such areas. the Military Census Officers will form the enumeration blocks keeping in view those among the principles indicated above which are relevant. Civi­lian and Military Census Officers must coordinate their work so as to ensure that no area is omitted or included twice in any block.

One Supervisor will be in charge of about 5 Enu­merators. If operational factors such as distam:es or terram impose limitations, the size of the Supervi­sor's drcle may be slightly varied.

81

After forming the blocks in the manner indicated above. the Charge Officers may allocate the blocks to enumerators and supervisors. The number of blocks would give an indication of the number of enumerators and supervisors.

The formation of the enumeratoin blocks on the basis ot :he houselisting will be the personal respon­~:ibil'ty of the Charge Officer concerned. The Charge Register are to be correctly prepared at the charge level. To avoid any possibility of mistakes it will be necessary for the Charge Officer to personally com­pare the new Charge Registers with the Houselist and also the Abridged Housdist with the Charge Regis­ter~ plepar.xi for the enumeration operations. The Sub-divisional Census Officers will be responsible for 'ensuril't that the details of each enumeration block are copied out correctly in the corresponding "Ab­ridged Houselist".

The sequence of the organisational steps would therefore be as folows :

The enumeration blocks for the actual count will be prepared on the basis of the houselist. New charge registers will be written on the basis of these enumeration blocks for each charge and then the ad bridged houseli.st for each block will be prepared.

PART II

Instructions for filling in Identification particulars and Section 2 of the Abridged Houselist in the Sub-divisional Offices

These instructions relate to the filling in of location particulars and Section 2 of the Abridged Houselist under the directions of the Sub-divisional Census Officer in the Sub-divisional offices. These sections of the abridged houselist will be filled in by such clerk or assistants ta whom the work is a,~,igned by tht'l Sub-divisional Census Officer.

2. As in the 1981 Census, an Abridged Houselist will have h be prepared at the 1991 Census also. The Abridged House1ist es.tablishes an essential link bet­ween th" Houselist and the population enumeration. It will serve as a frame for assigning the household serial number to each household in an enumeration block, as will be seen later, and it will also serve as a frame fOl post-enumeration surveys and other sur­veys which may be taken up in the future. The Arb­ridged HomcJ.ist will be prepared separately for each enumeration block. It is an important document and you must fill it up carefully after reading these ins­tructions and the instructions given in the notes to the Abridged Houselist form itself. A copy of the Abridged Houselist form is enclosed (Annexe I).

3. You should fill a separate Abridged House1ist form for each of the enumeration blocks of the charge assigned to you.

This form has three sections besides location parti­culars. You will have to fm in the location particu­tars and Section 2 of the form. Sections 1 and 3 will be filled in by the enumerator of the block later. The following instructions indicated how location parti­culars and Section 2 will have to be filled in for- each enumeration block.

4. The fotm starts with identification particulars of the enumeration block. You should have no diffi­culty in filling in this Section, as you would have been given the complete identification particulars and the location code of the census enumeration blocks as­signed to you by the Sub-divisional Census Officer.

5. Se<:tion 2 relates to certain details of census houses and households in the enumeration block as li~ted in the HouseIist. This section will be filled in by copying the relevant details directly from the fill­ed in Houselist foml available in the Sub-divisional

82

office. The Houselist, however, will cover an entire houselisting block. Where the enumeration block comprises the whole houselisting block, details of all census house in the House1ist will be copied. In case the houselisting block has been broken up into more than one enumeration. you must copy the details of only those census houses which fall in a particular enumeralion block. In other words, one Abridged Houselist will be separately prepared for (~ach

enumeration block. This can be done by iden­tifying the part of the houseIist pertaining to the par­ticular block by the red lines drawn at the time of carving out the blocks to partition the Houselist into parts relating to the enumeration blocks. It has, however, to be ensured that details of all census houses in the Houselist which fall in that enumerate block and of no other census house are copied into the Abridged Houselist form.

6. Section 2 should be filled up very carefully. The instructions that follow regarding filling up this sec­tion should be studied very carefully before this sec­tion is filled up. Section 2 must contain all entries regarding buildings, census houses and households contain in the houselist itself so far as the block you are dealing with is concerned. In other words, all entries in columns 2, 3, 7, 8 & 10 of the Houselist must find a place in Section 2 of the Abridged House­list of the block concerned. Therefore, in filling Sec­tion 2 you will start with the first census house in the houselist pertaining to an enumeration block. Copy only those lines which have an entry in either column 3 or column 5 or both together of the house­list. In oSuch cases you should fully copy the details given in Col. 2, 3, 7. 8 & 10 of the Houselist. You need not copy details from lines in which there is a "dash" in both columns 3 and 5 of the Hc}Uselist.

7. The instructions for filling up each of the cO­lumns 'Of Section 2 of the Abridged Houselist are given below:

(i) In column 1, write the serial number starting from I. This serial number may be different from the line number of the Houselist.

(ii) Column 2 to 6 are identical with the corres­ponding columns of the Houselist and the en­tries from the Houselist l~hould simply be co­pied into these columns.

(iii) Column 8 corresponds to column 14 of HOuse­list and the entry in that co~umn should be copied.

(iv) Only column 7 needs some explanation. It re­lates to the serial number of the household and has to be given by you. It must be empha­sised that this serial number is extremely im­portant as l( will be entered in other cenSU6 documents. such as the Individual Slip. House­hold <;chedule etc. Extreme care should. therehx::, be taken in giving this serial num­ber and you should read rthese instructions carefully.

8. As [he column heading indicates the serial num­ber is for households. every household entered in column 5 should be given a serial number in column 7. Starting with the fIrst household in column 5, this serial number will be continuous for aU the households in the enumeration block. This means that all ihe lines in which columns 5 and 6 have '--_ .. ' will be skipped for this serial number and '--' will be entered in col. 7.

9. After completing this section, you should hand over the copy of the Abridged Houselist partly filled by YO'U (0 Sub-divisiO'nal Census Officer.

12-2 RGI/NDf95

10. The specimen form of the Abridged Hauselist which oontains all the three sections has been given in Annexure 1 of this note. But in actual practice. this form will be split into three parts, (a) first part contammg identification particulars and section I fully and 2 partly, (b) second part containing sec­tion 2 alone running into several sheets and (c) part three containing section 3. This is being done to avoid wastage of forms because entries in section 2 will run intO' several sheets. In Anne:xe IT. specimen entries nave been shown and this has followed the pattern which the forms will be supplied.

11. Copy O'f the Abridged Houselist will be car­ried to the field by the enumerator for filling in Sec­tion 3 and aIso for updating entries in Section 2. wherever necessary. Section 1 will be filled only after the enumeration is over and the enumera­tor's abstract has been prepared by the enumerator. The manner in which sections 1. 2 and 3 of the Ab­ridged Houselist form will be filled by the enumera­tor have been :liscussed in part III of these instruc­tions.

12. Please ensure that the location code number which inc1udes the State/District/Dev. Block or Town/Village or Ward and enumerator's block codes. is indicated on each page of sections 2 and 3.

PART TIl

][nstructions to Enumerators fm- updating Section 2, filling of Section 3 and filling of Section 1 of the AbrIdged HouseIist

IGtrodudion

As in the 1981 Census, an Abridged Houselist win have to b:~ rrepared at the 1991 Census also. The Abridged Houselist establishes an essential link bet­ween the Houselist and the population enumeration. It will serve as a frmle fur assigning household Se­rial number to each hO:lsehold in an enumeration block, as will be seen later, and it will also serve as a frame for post-'enumeration surveys and other surveys which may be taken ul' in the future. The Abridged Houselist will be prepared separately for each enumeration blo::k. It is an important docu­ment and you must fill it up carefully after reading thel3e instructions given in the nOltes to the Abridged Houselist form it'elf. A copy of the Abridged House­list form is enclosed (Annexe n.

2, You will be given one copy of the Abridged Houselist form for your block by your Supervisor. You will notice that identification particulars and Section 2 of the form are already filled in. At the beginning wi1l be given the identification particulars and location code nf your block. Section 2 contains essentiaHy a list of all census ho-uses and households in your block cOJ)i~d f;-om the Houselist. This list has to be updated by you as at the enumerat~on, be­cause som~ chan~es might have taken place In your block since the hOllselisting operations. Some of the census houses which existed at the time of house­listing, might have been demolished and new census houses might h~ve come up. Again some of the households mL!ht have moved out and some new households might have moved in. All these will have to be taken care of by you in updating the Abridged Houselist. The new cenSllS houses and households will have to be listed by you in Section 3. Section 1 will be filled up at the end of the enumeration.

3. While goin~ ronnd your block for enumeration, vou will have to check whether each census house imd household listed in Section 2 of the Abridged Houselist is actEal1y there. At the same time, you will also have to ]Gok for new census houses and new households which are not listed in Section 2. It is also possibJe that some of the census houses or bouse­hQllds in Section 2 are still there but ,their particulars might have changed.

4. The foI1owing situations may arise :

(i) A hOllsehold listed in Section 2 might have moved lOut leaving the census house or part occupied by it vacant.

(ii) A building or census house listed in Section 2 might no longer exist.

84

(iii) A hOilsehold listed in Section 2 might have moved out and a new househol~ might have moved 1n its place.

(iv) The fully residential, partly residential or non­residential use of a census house listed in Sec­tion ~' ,night have changed.

(v) '{he h~ad of a household listed in Section Z might have changed.

{vi) A new household might have moved into a V'Uicaut or non-reJ3idential census house.

(vii) A new building which is not listed in Section 2 might have come up.

(viii) A new census house might have come up in a building already listed in Section 2.

(ix) A new household might have moved into an . already occupied residential house.

5. In ca3e of situations (i) and (ii), the relevaIlt entries ill Section 2 will have to be deleted. In case of (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) the entries in Section 2 will have to be suita1.Jlyamended and in case of (vii), (viii) and (ix). SectIOn 3 wiU have to be filled. The instruc­tions for deleting or amending entries in Section 2 or for filling Section 3 in each of these situations are given below:

Instructions for recording changes: in Section 2

6. In the case of the first six situations mentioned in para 4 above, necessary changes or corrections will have to be made in Section 2 as follows:

(i) If a household appearing in Section 2 has moved out leaving the census house or part occupied by it vacant then the entries in cois. 5 to 8 relating Ito the household have to be deleted. In column 8 write in such cases "Household left". Please note that when any census house or household is deleted in Sec­tion 2, the serial number is col. t. house num­ber. household number or the serial number of household in column 7 of subsequent houses and households should not be changed.

(U) If you find that a building or census house ap­pearing in Section 2 no longer exists, all the lines relating to the building or census house will have to be deleted. In this case also, the subsequent serial number in cols. I and 7 need not be changed.

(iii) If a household listed in Section 2 has moved out and another household has moved in its place, the name of the head of household in col 6 will be changed in Section 2. Indicate this reason for the change in col. 8.

(iv) If the use to which a census house is put has changed the entry in col. 4 for that census house in Section 2 will have to be scored out and the current use entered.

Such a change in use of the house might be coupl­ed with a household leaving Or a household mo'Ving into the census house. For example where a partly or fully resiJential house is now used for purely non­residential purposes, not only the entries in col. 4 should be scored out, and the current use of the: house sh0uld be recorded but the entries from ools. 5 to 8 should also be deleted as the household living in earlier would have moved out. If more than one household was rtcorded in that census house, all the entries in subsequent lines relating to such households should also be deleted.

However, in cases where the census house has re­mained non-residential but only the use has changed, the entry in col. 4 will have to be scored out and a fresh entry made to indicate the new use. Where a non-re:idential house has become a partly or fully residential house, one Or more households might have moved into the census house. In this case. first the entries in Section 2 will be scored out and the cur­rent use should be recorded in Col. 8 for cross re­ference since particulars of the new household(s) which might ha..".:: moved III would be entered in Sec­tion j in cols. I to 8. Other changes in use of a census house from partly residential to fully residen­tial or from fully residential to partly residential may or ~nay not involve household(s) moving in Or house­hoid(s) moving ou.t. If movement of households IS

involved, such movement should be treated in the manner described above.

(v) If the head of a household has changed, the entry in ';01. 6 (Name of head of household) in Section 2 should be scored out and the name of current head of household should be en­tered.

(vi) If a ne .... household has moved into a vacant house, then the entries in all columns of Sec­tion 2 have to be scored out and fresh entries made in Section 3. Reason for scoring Out should be given in col. 8. If more than one new household has moved into such census house, then all the households have to be en­tered in Section 3.

7. Plea.se note that the reason for any change that you may make in Section 2 must be given in Col. 8 as illustrated above.

85

Instructions for filling Section 3

8. The columns of Sec·tion 3 and Section 2 are identical. The seriaL number in column 1 should run for Se:::tions 2 and 3 continuously, ie. the first serial number entered in Section 3 will be in continuation for the last serial number in Secticn 2.

9. Before you enter a new building or census house in Section 3, please recall the deiinition of census house. The mu!mer in V'/hich new buiIdings. new census houses or new households have to be num­bered has already been indiC:l~ed to you. It must be remembered that a new building will be numbered on the basis of the number which ,the previoUis build­ing !-jas. For cxampie, a new building which has come up recently between building Nos. 45 and 46, will be numbe:ed as 45/1 elc. Similarly, new census houses will have !fa be numbered by use of brackets. If in buiIding No. 43, there was previously One census house but nuw there are two, these will have to b;! numbered as 43{l) and 43(2}. FOr new ho'Useholds, you will have to number them by use of alphabets within brackets such as 't3(1)(a), 43(1)(b) etc. It is important to no~e that n~w non-residential houses must also be enten::d in Section 3.

10. SectiuIl 3 will have to be filled when you come across the situation mentioiled in sub-.paras (vii), (viii) and (ix) of Para 4. There are cases where a new building which is not listed in Section 2 has come up. Or a new census house might have come up in a build­ing already listed in Section 2, or a new house­hold might nave moved into an already occupied re­sidential house.

11. If you come across a new building which is not listed in Se:tion you must give it an appropriate building number (please see para 9) and enter this building number in Column 2. If there is only one census house in this new building, you must obvious­ly entcr the same number again in column 3, be­cause in such a case the bUilding number and the census house number are the same. If there are two or more census houses in this building then you will have to give these appropriate census house numbers (please see Para 9) and enter these in different lines in column 3. Having filled columns 1, 2 and 3, you must now record the use or uses to which this new building and the census house or houses in it is or are being put. Obviously if there is more than one census house, you must record the use to which each one of these is being put in column 4 in the appropriate line. If the use is completely non-re­sidential, then no further details need be entered in columns 5, 6 and 7 and you must only write "--" in these columns.

12. The new building or the census houses in it may be occupied by a household or more than one households. If there is a household or more than one, you must give the household or households a household number (please see Para 9) and enter this number in the appropriate line in column 5. Please note that if there is an entry in column 4 like "workshop-cum-residence", "residence", etc., then there must be an entry in column 5. In all such cases, column 5 and 7 must also be completed.

13. In case of a new census house in a building already listed in Section 2, enter census house no. in col. 3. Please note if the building in Section 2 had only one census house, its census house no. will now have to be changed. For example, if building no. 43 had one census house only section 2 numbered as 43 and if you now find another cen­sus house in this building. the census house no. in section 2 will have to be changed as 43(1) and the new cenSUi> house in section 3 will be entered with no. 43(2). It should, however, be noted that if a new house­hold has moved into a census house already listed in Section 2, the census house no. should not be re­peated in col. 3 of section 3. You need only to fill cols. 5 and 6 of section 3 and put dashes '---' in cols. 2, 3 and 4. Where more than one line re­lating to the same building or census house has to be filled, the building number or census house number should be entered only in the first line and in :;uh­sequent lines. write only '---'.

14. In col. 4, the use of the census hOUSe should be recorded only for new census houses. For such census house, the description of the purpose for whicb the census ho~;se is used, should be enquired and recorded in full, e.g .. residence. workshop-cum-resi­dence. shop-cum-residence etc. This will be record­ed only ir the first line used for the census house against the census house number. If more than one line is used for the new census house, because there are more than one household put '--' in col. 4 in the secoLd and subsequent lines.

15. In '::01. 5, the household number will be re­corded for each new household. For a new census houselisted in Section 3, households residing in it will be listed in each line starting from the first line. If the census house is non-residential, write .~. in thIS column. Please note that where a new household has moved into a census house already listed in, Sootion 2 with only one household residing in it, the number of the household listed in Section 2 will have to be chang­ed. For example. if census house no. 45 had vnly one household residing in it and listed as No. 45 in Sec­tion 2 and you now find more than one household

86

in that census house, then you will have to change the number of the household in Section 2 to 45{a). The new households will be entered in Section 3 and numbered as 45(b), 45(c), etc., but there will be no entries in columns 2. 3 and 4 i.e. building number, census house number and use to which census house is put, relating to households 45{b} and 4S(c). You should put dash '--' in cols. 2. 3 and 4 and record new household in col. 8 for these households.

16. In col. 6, against a household number in co!. 5 write the name of head of household. If in col. 5 there is '-----, i.e., if the use of the census house is solely non-residential repeat the '~--' in col. 6 also.

17. The serial number of household in col. 7 should run continuously for the enumeration block. This ITieans in Section 3. every household should be given a serial number in continuation of the serial number of the households in Section 2 (col. 7).

18. ). ou may remember that during house listing, only these households which lived in census bouses were listed. There are many households which live on pa:.'ments etc. and do not Jive in Census houses. These are houseless households. Such houseless househ.,lds will be noticed by you go round your enumeration block. You must enumerate the house­less households as you would have been told, on the last day of the enumeration period, i.e., on the 28th vf February, 1991, and this enumeration will be done late in the evening when these houseless households settle down for the night. Every such household will have to be entered serially in Section 3 of the Ab­ridged Houselist after all the census hOuses have' been covered. For these households only '---' will be entered in cols. 2 to 4 and '0' in col. 5. The serial number in cols. 1 and 7 wiII run continuously as mentioned earlier for these households also. The serial number of the household for these houseless households will have a prefix '0'. Examples of how these numbers will be written are given at the end (Annexe IlI).

Instructions for filing Section 1

Section 1 relating to the population of the enumera­tor's block will have to be filled in by you at the end of the enumeration. After you have completed your enumerator's abstract, you must enter the figures of population, number of occupied residential hOUses and number of households against A. B. C in Sec­tion 1. The instructions to filll.in parts A, B & C of Section 1 are described below:

Part A of Section 1 (population of enumeration block) will be copied from the enumerator's abstra.

which you will prepare aIDtea- the revisional round has beeL completed in your enumeration block and totals struck. For filling part 2 of Section 1 (number ot occulJied residential houses) you will have to count the entries in Col. 3 (census house no.) of both Sec­tion 2 and 3 of !the Abridged HOUIselist. It should be noted that in col. 3 of the Abridged House­list iu Section 2 and 3, not only residential houses, but non-residential houses would also have been entered. Therefore, in order to ascertain the number of occupied residential houses, you will have to check entry in col. 3 of Sections 2 and 3 with the corresponding entry in col. 4 of the .-\.bridged Houselist. A census house entered in Col. 3 will qualify to be counted as an occupied residential house if there is a corresponding entry of either 'wholly rooidentia~' or 'partly reSJiden­tial' in Col. 4. For example if census house No. 7(1) in col 3 is described as 're:ideru;.e' in 001. 4, it will be reckoned as an occupied residential house. Simi­larly, if census house No. 9 in col. 3 is shown as workshop-cum-residence in the corresponding col. 4, it will a ;so be rec}Qoned as an occupied residential house. On the other hand, if census house No. 7(1) is shown as 'office' in col,. 4 and house No. 7(2) is shown as 'factory' in col. 4 of either Section 2 or 3 of the Abridged Houselist, neithe.r of these will qu~ lify to be reckoned as an occupied residential house. It must be noted that census houses entered in col. 3 against which the corresponding entries are 'vacant' in col. q, should not be reckoned as occupied residen­tial houses. NormaIJy, for every occupied residen­tial house, (here will be corresponding entries in

87

(01. 5 (household number), col. 6 (head of household) and col. 7 (serial no. of household), except in cases where the occupants of a residential house have gone on a tempo3"aJ)' journey /piil.gJri:mage which fact will doubtless be shown as 'residence'. Please note that if a residential census house has been entered more th;,tn once in coL 3 through oversight, it should not be counted more than ooce because it will inflate the number of occupied residential houses.

Part C of Section 1 of the Abridged Houselist, (number of households will have to be ascertained by countinb entries in col. 5 in Section 2 and 3 which should be easy. The entries could be, say 1 or (1) or lea) or l(1)(a) in col. 5, depending on whether the hOll"ehold lives by itself in a house which is also a building or lives in a building which has more than one census house vr is sharing the builoing with one Or more households or sharing the census house with one or nore census households re:;pectively. Need. less to say, there will be a corresponding entry in col. 6 (head of household) and col. 7 (S1. number of household) for all such households You should count the number for your block and write the figure in part C of Section I.

General

Before you hand over the completed abridged houselist. you must ensure that all the sections have been :..;ompleted. The copy of the Abridged House­list as completed, along with the filled in Individual Slip, Household Schedule and other forms must be handed over to your Supervisor.

APPEAL OF SHRI HlMANGSHV 0I0UDHURY, THE DIRECI'OR OF CENSUS OPERADONS, TRlPURA AT THE EVE OF 1991 L"ENSUS

Friends.

You are aware that the thirteenth decennial CcnIsus of India will be conducted from the 9th February to 28th February, 1991 with the sunrise of 1st March. 1991 being fixed as reference time. 1st March to Sth March '91 will be the period for re.isional round. During the period the enumerators will visit door to door to enumerate all the members of each household.

This long traditipnal Census of India is considered as one of the greatest activities of the world. Along with the entire Nation the Census will be conducted in Tripura also as per schedule caJendar. • "

For the, successful completion of the first phase of the operation i.e. ~e bouselisting end housenumber­ing. I on behalf of the Census Organisation congratu­late aM. the <:Otroemed workers involved in the opera­tion. Census is the main instrument by which the economic and social planning of the country is fram­ed. The accurate information of Census is the main base for the administration and planning for welfare of the society and demographic research. So it is our National duty to collect data accurately.

In this gigantic operation almost six thousand five hundred employees of the State Govenlment have been selected. Training in three phases h;:ve been impart­ed to all of them. In the special areas, arrangements have been made to conduct the enumeration of the Military and Para-military })ersol1s through their nominated persons.

In 1991 Census. two schedules called "Household Schedule" and "Individual SI!ips" will be catllVsssed. The household schedule will serve as a primary tool for preparing an inventory of aU members of house­hold before the enumerator fills up the individual slip for each and every person of the household.

AJike previous Census. in 1991 Census too the indi­vidual slip will cover information related to demog-

96

raphic social. cultural and economic aspects of eact mdividual. It will also include uif<nmation on migration and fe:mility. Again, t.h.i8 time the informa­tion. 00 the exsecvicemcn and their pension have been included. Special attention has been given on the female participation in work. Besides. the enumera­tor will on behalf of the council of Scientific and In­dustrial Research give each eligible person a special form called "Post Graduate Degree holder and Tech­nical Personnel Schedule" for being filled up. These are likely to be collected at the time of revisional round.

All enumerators are to be very careful in the matta' that. all residing in· Tripura during. the period are covered properly; whether they are houseless or in­mates of Institution or of general h<"lscholds. so that nobody is left uncovered. It is a1o;0 to be n('ticed carefully that no part of an enumerator's block is left uncovered or overlapped under any cil"C'umstances. Collection of accurate information in Pfl'scribed time by each enumerator can give the full success to the Census.

No great work can be successfully completed with­out the help and co-operation of the public. I am quite confident that all people of Tripura will actively c0-

operate in the gigantic operation. I should ro.ention here that Census is conduct~ a'l per Census Act. 1948. According to the Act all information collect­ed through Census are to be kept secret. So you are free to respond to the questi4nnaire:a acx:urately with­.out fear. Kindly note jf your family is not covered' by the enumerator even by the 28th February '91 you are to bring the matter t~ the notice of your nearest Block Development Ofticer or Sub-Divisional Officer at the earliest.

Let us, take the attempt to complete our National task with the sincerity of the CD~tors and active co-operation of the people of Tripura.

It may kindly be con­sidered whether such meetings can be held between 9th of February, 1991 to 28th February, 1991 by the Sub-divisional Census Officer in consultation with Charge Officers to assess the progres.s of work so that there would not be any difficulty on the part of the enumerator / supervisor to submit the records in time. Regarding collection of records, a special monitoring system may be evolved so that the enumerators submit the records to the supervisors b a preceterrnined

place. Fixation of date and time and place for col­lection of records from the ,>upervisors would help the c.harge officers in collection .of re.;::ords and compila­tIon of the same and transmIssion thereof to the Sub­divisional Census Officer who after collecting the re­cords will transmit the provisional reslllts to the Dis­trict Magistrate & Collector and Director of Census Operations.

When the records are received on the 8th March, 1991 the concerned clerk in the Sub-divisional Officer would have to post in this register the relevant total figures which would be available from the last page of the working sheets of each block in the columns concerned. Since these would be posted block-wise the totals would give the figures fer each of characteristics for the entire charge. It would be convenient if the Sub-divisional Census Officer can arrange for writing up of this register in advance so far the block numbers are concerned in order to facilitate the compilation of the provisional totals. The working sheets and Enume­rator's Abstract thus prepared for each charge are to be forwarded to this Directorate along with other census documen:ts.

My dear Gupta.

Population Census is a national task which we are called upon to undertake every ten years. It provides valuable information about the land and people at a given point of time. It also provides insights into the trends in popUlation and its various characteristics which are essential to planning of orderly develop­ment. The Census has become indispensable to effec­tive and efficient public administration besides serving the needs of scholars, sociologists, bminessmen, indus­trialists. planners. electoral authorities etc.

You are aware that a notification has been issued to the effect that the 1991 Census of India will be conducted with the rising of sun on March 1. 1990 as the reference date. The actual field work will be dom: during February 9-March 5, 1991. The preparatory work for the 1991 Census has started in earnest and the preliminary operation. known as house-listing, has already been completed in your State.

The Census can be conducted succtssfully only with the active support of the State Government. A large number of enumerators and supervisors in addition to Tehsildars, Executive Officers of the Municipalities. Sub-Divisional Magistrates and District Collectorsj

lOS

New Delhi-llOOOl November 9, 1990

Deputy Commissio!.1ers are fully engaged on the work of 1991 Census.

It has come to our notice that a few State Govefll­ments propose to hold elections to Panchayat Raj insti­tutions and local bodies like Municipalities. Corpora­tions, etc., in the coming two or threc months. If any such elections are contemplated now. it will ad­versely affect the training programme of the census officers and the enumerators and supervisors as also the conduct of the Census it.self.

I am. therefore, to request you to defer elections to Panchayat Raj institutions and local ~odies in your State, if proposed to be held before the end of March. 1991. to a later date.

An early line in reply is requested.
