MOTIF

Jageshwar Temple

Situated around 35 km from Almora, Jageshwar is an important Hindu pilgrim centre. It is believed to be one of the Jyotirlingas in the country. Jageshwar finds mention in Mahabharat (a Sanskrit epic describing the

great war between the descendants of Bharata). The Jageshwar temple complex is in a narrow valley full with cedar (ever green coniferous

tree). The confluence of streams Nandini and Surabhi is nearby. The charm of the place owe to the cedar trees, dense forest and rivulets. There are 124 temples and hundreds of statues. ‘Mrityaunjaya’ is the

oldest temple and the ‘Dindeshwara’ is the biggest one. A fair is held during monsoons (seasonal wind prevailing in South Asia, particularly

rainy season accompanying South West monsoon).

FOREWORD

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

rural areas for each District. The Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the lowest administrative unit i.e.

of each Village, Town and Ward of the District. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected during 1st phase of the Census i.e. House Listing and Housing Census. The

non Census data presented in the DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various infrastructure facilities available in the

village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication and transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities. Later on, the Telegraph Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th July,

2013. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level.

2. In the 1961 Census, DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District,administrative statistics, Census tables and Village and Town Directory including

Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town Directory, Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative

statistics, District Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages. The 1981 Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and Part-B the PCA of Village and

Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village

Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given.

3. The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991

Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was

included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991

Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/Taluk/PS level

presentation.

4. As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by

including some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodity’ manufactured in a Village

in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier Censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of ‘notified slums’.

2

5. The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened byincluding a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly added amenities are: Pre-Primary School, Engineering College, Medical College,

Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-formal Training Centre, Special School for Disabled, Community Health Centre, Veterinary Hospital, Mobile Health Clinic, Medical Practitioner with MBBS Degree, Medical Practitioner with no degree,

Traditional Practitioner and faith Healer, Medicine Shop, Community Toilet, Rural Sanitary Mart or Sanitary Hardware Outlet in the Village, Community Bio- gas, Sub

Location of Towns, (iii) Civic and other Amenities (iv) Medical Facilities, (v) Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi) Industry & Banking, and (vii)

Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 Census as presented in earlier Census.

6. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-Acontains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise

7. The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled andcomputerized under the supervision of Smt. Sneh Lata Agarwal, IAS, Director of

Census Operation, Uttarakhand. The task of Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General

Preface

The District Census Handbooks (DCHBs) are brought-out in two parts giving village and town wise data for each district. The first part contains non-census data for each village and town and is called Village and Town Directories Part A. the Part B provides Census date for rural area up to the village level and for urban areas up to ward level for each town or city in the shape of Primary Census Abstract (PCAs). The information contained in Primary Census Abstract and Village and Town Directory (VDs/TDs) has already been released for data users in soft copy. Data available in District Census Handbooks are very useful for policy planners, Administrators, Researchers and other socio-economic research centres.

HISTORY AND SCOPE OF THE DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK

The need of data at the grass root level for the administrative and planning purposes at sub micro level as well as academic studies prompted the innovation of District Census Handbook. District Census Handbook is a

unique publication from the Census organization which provides most authentic details of census and non-census information from village and town

level to district level. The District Census Handbook was firstly introduced during the 1951 Census. It contains both census and non census data of urban as well as rural areas for each district. The census data contain several

demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each village and town and ward of the district. The non census data comprise of data on availability of various civic amenities and infrastructural

facilities etc. at the town and village level which constitute Village Directory and Town Directory part of the DCHB. The data of DCHB are of considerable

importance in the context of planning and development at grass-root level.

In 1961 census DCHB provided a descriptive account of the district,

administrative statistics, census tables and village and town directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census

and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain

analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. The 1981 census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained village and town directory and Part-B the PCA of village and town including the SCs and

STs PCA up to tahsil/town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of village and town directory were added into it. In Village Directory,

all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given.

The pattern of 1981 census was followed by and large for the DCHB of

1991 Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 census. In addition, sex wise

population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991

census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of village

directory and PCA data instead of the traditional tahsil/taluk/PS level presentation.

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

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

7

manufactured in a village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was

enlarged by including details on all slums instead of ‘notified slums’.

The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been

widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details and the data

of each town have been presented viz.; (i) Status and Growth History of towns, (ii) Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii) Civic and other Amenities, (iv) Medical Facilities, (v) Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi)

Industry & Banking, and (vii) Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 census as presented in earlier census. The data of DCHB 2011

Census have been presented in two parts, Part-A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract.

Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census.

Brief History of the District

Situated in the Central Himalayas, the district is named after the town Almora.

According to local tradition, the earliest inhabitants in Almora were Tewaris who were required to supply sorrels daily for cleansing the vessels of sun temple at Katarmal.

Sorrel is locally called ‘lamora’ which in course of time, got corrupted into Almora and gave its name to the Khagmara hill on which it is grown. Chand Rajas made the place their capital. Ancient lore mentioned in Vishnu Purana and Mahabharata present

primordial accounts of human settlements in the district. The Sakas, the Nagas, the Kiratas, the Khasas and the Hunas are credited to be the most ancient tribes. The

Kauravas and Pandavas of the Hastinapur royal family were the next important princes from the plains who are said to have affected the conquest of these parts. After the Mahabharata war the district seems to have remained for some time under

the sway of the kings of Hastinapur whose authority was never more than nominal. The actual rulers were the local chiefs of whom the Kulindas (or Kunindas) were probably strong in the southern and western part of the district. The Nagas held

domination over Patti Danpur, Salam and Nakuri of tahsil Almora. The Khasas were another ancient people who belonged to an early Aryan stock and were widely

scattered in those times. They gave this region the name Khasadesha or Khasamandala. The next age’s silent of them may probably be the ones signaling many petty states, rivaling each-other for supremacy and ultimately chartering the

inauguration of the noted and enduring dynasty of Chands. Earlier to this, the Katyuris are recorded as the dominant clans in copper and stone engravings. Very

little is known of this dynasty, particularly relating to this district. The Chand dynasty from their inception in 953 A.D. to their ouster in the late 18th century present a saga of strife, with horrifying series of wars with rulers of Garhwal culminating in the

destruction of this prosperous land and establishment of inglorious Gurkha rule. This dynasty was peculiar in that it made Almora the seat of strongest hill power in 1563 A.D. From that time onwards, the limits of kingdom of Kumaon extended over the

entire tracts of districts of Almora and Nainital. A notable contribution of these rulers was unification of entire Kumaoni land, though, the process was belated by centuries

for hostility of the rulers of Garhwal. Some of the kings of this line were of supremely religious temperament and their inclination fruited in maintenance and erection of many temples in the district. These peace time pursuits were possible because of

diplomatic patronages procured by Chand rulers from Emperors at Delhi by tact and shrewdness with a view to foiling the horrendous attacks of hostile governors of Delhi bordering southern frontiers of Kumaon.

The first Census in India was conducted in the year 1872. This was conducted at different points of time in different parts of the country. In 1881 a Census was taken for the entire country simultaneously. Since then, Census has been

conducted every ten years, without a break. Thus, the Census of India 2011 was the fifteenth in this unbroken series since 1872, the seventh after independence and the second census of the third millennium and twenty first

century. The census has been uninterruptedly continued despite several adversities like wars, epidemics, natural calamities, political unrest, etc.

The Census of India is conducted under the provisions of the Census Act 1948 and the Census Rules, 1990. In Censuses until 1931, a synchronous de-facto method was adopted wherein the Census was conducted throughout the

country on a single night. This being a very costly affair and involved the deployment of very large force at one point of time was given up in 1941. Since

then the same methodology has been followed in all the Censuses. It is a gigantic operation and considered to be the single largest, complex, peace time administrative exercise in the world.

The Census Operation in India is carried out in two distinct but inter connected phases - the House listing and Housing Census followed by the Population Enumeration. During the first phase of Census 2011 i.e.,House

listing and Housing Census, the buildings, census houses and households were identified and systematically listed in the House Listing and Housing

Census Schedule during the periodApril to September, 2010 in different States/Union Territories. Apart from listing of houses,some useful data on the amenities available to the households was also collected for assessingcondition

of human settlements, housing deficits etc. Censuses prior to Census 2001 had the system of collecting the

information through Individual Slip which was a key schedule for every individual. The information collected through slip was then compiled for a household. Some information was also collected in addition to this for the

household. During 2001 Census a comprehensive Household Schedule was adopted replacing the individual slip concept. In 2011 Census also similar household schedule was used for canvassing. The scope of demographic, socio-

economic parameters has been widened in every census.

2. Population Enumeration - Census 2011:

The field work of the second phase i.e. Population Enumeration was carried out during February-March, 2011. One of the essential features of

Population Enumeration in the second phase was that each person was enumerated and her/his individual particulars were collected at a well-defined

point of time.

15

The Census moment and the reference date for the Census of India 2011 was 00:00 hours of 1st March, 2011. The enumeration was conducted from 9th February to 28th February, 2011 alongwith a revisional round from 1st

March, 2011 to 5th March, 2011 synchronously all over the country except for few specific areas of the Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand states that remain snowbound in February. In these locations the

population enumeration was done from 11th September, 2010 to 30th September, 2010 along with a revisional round from 1st October, 2010 to 5th

October, 2010. The reference date for the census in snow bound non-synchronous areas of these states was 00.00 hours of the first day of October, 2010. In addition to the coverage during House listing& Housing Census, the

enumeration of the Houseless population was carried out on the night of 28th February, 2011, as has been the usual practice. For the purpose of Census, certain areas where the access of the civilian enumerators was not permissible

due to security reasons termed as ‘Special Charges’ such as the Defence and strictly Military/Para-Military areas, including operational areas were also

covered. Such areas were not covered during the House listing& Housing Census. In addition to the defence/para-military areas, Special Charges also included certain factory areas, certain colonies, sensitive areas, scientific

establishments, etc. These also formed Special Charges as these were not accessible by the usual census enumerator.

3. Quality Assurance:

A Task Force for Quality Assurance (TFQA) functioned under the chairmanship of the RG & CCI. Experienced officers of the different divisions of the organization i.e. Heads and senior officers of the Census Division, Data

Processing Division, Map Division, Demography Division and Social Studies Division comprised the TFQA. The Directors of Census Operations were co-

opted as members whenever the TFQA discussed the data for their States/Union territories. The main objective of constituting the TFQA was to subject the data to stringent validation checks and ensure its quality before

release as it was expedient to be satisfied itself about the quality of data before putting the same in public domain.

The Directors and their senior officers were involved at all levels with respect to the quality and the coverage of their States/UTs. The TFQA intensively scrutinized coverage and content parameters including edit and

imputation logic. The most important aspect of the data quality was to ensure complete coverage of all geographical areas especially for the population enumeration phase where the data is disseminated right up to the village level

in the rural areas and the ward level in the urban areas. Thus ensuring the complete coverage and correct geographical linkage of each enumeration block

was one of the major planks of the quality control, especially for small area population statistics. The content was scrutinized mainly through the process of internal consistency, comparison with similar data in the past and also

through validation with likewise data if available, from external sources. Quite often the local knowledge and perception was looked at to understand both the existing and the new emerging trends of population distribution and

characteristics. A very comprehensive check and edit mechanism was put in

16

place to objectively examine the preliminary Census 2011 Population Enumeration results and finally clear them for use. The population data was cleared only after the full possible satisfaction of the TFQA.

The entire work relating to the data validation and scrutiny was completed by all the States/Union territories under the overall supervision and monitoring of the Census Division of the Office of the Registrar General, India

with active cooperation and support of the Social Studies Division, Data Processing Division, Data Dissemination Division and Map Division.

4. Primary Census Abstract:

The Primary Census Abstract which is an important publication of 2011 Census gives basicinformation on Area, Total Number of Households, Total Population, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled TribesPopulation, Population in the

age group 0-6, Literates, Main Workers and Marginal Workers classified by thefour broad industrial categories, namely, (i) Cultivators, (ii) Agricultural

Labourers, (iii) Household Industry Workers, and (iv) Other Workers and also Non-Workers. The characteristics of the Total Population includeScheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Institutional and Houseless Population and are

presented by sex andrural-urban residence.

In 1981 census main workers were presented into four categories. As regards 1991 Census, the nine-fold industrialclassification of main workers has been given in the Primary Census Abstract. One of the important features

of the Primary Census Abstract of 1991 Census was the presentation of population of the age group 0-6 which is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census.All the children of age 6 years or less have been treated as illiterate

even if the child is going to a school and may have picked up reading and writing. This will help the data users in better analysis and understanding of

the literacy data as the literacy rate is calculated with 7 years and above population and it is referred as effective literacy rate.In 2001 and 2011 census four categories of main workers have been given in the Primary Census

Abstract.

5. Level of Presentation of PCA data in District CensusHandbooks:

The format of Primary Census Abstract (PCA) adopted in the DCHB of

2001 Census has been continued for 2011 Census as the data on four categories of works have been presented similar to 2001 census. The Primary Census Abstract data in different PCAs are presented at different levels. The

level of presentation of Primary Census Abstracts in DCHB is as under:

1.District Primary Census Abstract -District/C.D. Block/Town. 2. Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Castes- District/C.D. Block/Town.3.Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Tribes -District/C.D. Block/Town.

4. Village Primary Census Abstract -C.D. Block/Village wise.5. Urban Primary Census Abstract- Town/Ward level.

17

The PCA Data for villages was presented C.D. Block wise for the first time in 1991 Census. Thispractice is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. The term ‘Total Population’ includes the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, the

Institutional and the Houseless populations. An appendix to District Primary Census Abstract has also been furnished showing urban enumeration block-wise particulars on Total Population, the Scheduled Castes Population and the

Scheduled Tribes Population for each town.

6. Area Figures:

The area figures supplied by local revenue authorities of the district in

respect of tahsils, Police Stations and by the local bodies in respect of towns are given in square kilometers. The area figures of the villages supplied by the Tahsildars in acres have been converted and shown in hectares. The area

figures of the C.D. Block are the total of the village areas coming under each C.D. Block. The area figures for the district are the same as adopted by the

Surveyor General of India to maintain uniformity at the national level.
