FOREWORD The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of the Census Organization since 1951. It contains both Census and non Census data of urban and rural areas for each District. The Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each Village, Town and Ward of the District. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected during 1st phase of the Census i.e. House Listing and Housing Census. The non Census data presented in the DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various infrastructure facilities available in the village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication and transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities. Later on, the Telegraph Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th July, 2013. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level. 2. In the 1961 Census, DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District, administrative statistics, Census tables and Village and Town Directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town Directory, Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, District Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages. The 1981 Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and Part-B the PCA of Village and Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. 3. The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/Taluk/PS level presentation. 4. As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodity’ manufactured in a Village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier Censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of ‘notified slums’.

5. The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened 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 Post Office, Village Pin Code, Public Call Office, Mobile Phone Coverage, Internet Cafes/ Common Service Centre, Private Courier Facility, Auto/Modified Autos, Taxis and Vans, Tractors, Cycle-pulled Rickshaws, Carts driven by Animals, Village connected to National Highway, State Highway, Major District Road, and Other District Road, Availability of Water Bounded Macadam Roads in Village, ATM, Self-Help Group, Public Distribution System(PDS) Shop, Mandis/Regular Market, Weekly Haat, Agricultural Marketing Society, Nutritional Centers (ICDS), Anganwadi Centre, ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist), Sports Field, Public Library, Public Reading Room, Assembly Polling station, Birth & Death Registration Office.

PREFACE The District Census Handbook (DCHB) brought out in each decennial census since 1951 Census by the Census Organisation is an important publication which provides detailed Census and non Census information from village and town level to district level. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains census data including data on household amenities collected during the 1st phase of Census i.e. House listing and Housing Census. The non-census data (presented in another part) is in the form of village directory and town directory and it contains information on infrastructural facilities available in each village and town within the district. This includes details on educational and medical facilities, drinking water, communication and transport, post, electricity, banking etc. The data provided in DCHBs are important in the context of planning and development at grass root level. This publication is brought out separately for each district of the State. The DCHB was initially confined to a few Census tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town within the district. Thereafter, its scope and coverage was enlarged in each subsequent Census. The DCHB published in 1961 Census provided a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, Census tables and village and town directory including PCA. The 1971 Census-DCHB series was 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 amenities data in respect of villages. The 1981 Census-DCHB was in two parts: Part-A contained village and town directory and Part-B the PCA of villages and towns including the SCs and STs PCA up to tehsil/town levels. The village and Town directory formats were restructured. 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. Information on new items such as adult literacy centers, primary health sub-centers and community health workers in the village were provided. Information on approach to the village was provided for the first time in the village Directory. In the town Directory, a statement (IV-A) on slums was introduced to provide details on civic and other amenities in the notified slums of Class I and Class II towns. The 1991 Census DCHB followed the presentation of 1981 Census, but the format of PCA was restructured. A 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 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 the 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. The 2001 Census DCHB was more exhaustive in nature. The village Directory was enlarged by including a number of other facilities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, news-papers and magazines and ‘the most important commodity’ manufactured in villages. In town Directory, the statement on slums was modified and its coverage enlarged by including details on all slums instead of only ‘Notified slums’. Two more additions were inclusion of ‘motif’ highlighting significant characteristic of the district and brief analytical notes as annexures. An eight digit permanent location code number (PLCN) was assigned to all the villages and towns keeping in view future needs. The coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been further widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001 Census. 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 Post Office, Village Pin Code, Public Call Office, Mobile Phone Coverage, Internet Cafes/ Common Service Centre, Private Courier Facility, Auto/Modified Autos, Taxis and Vans, Tractors, Cycle-pulled Rickshaws, Carts driven by Animals, Village connected to National Highway, State Highway, Major District Road, and Other District Road, Availability of WBM Roads in Village, ATM, Self-Help Group, Public Distribution System(PDS) Shop, Mandis/Regular Market, Weekly Haat, Agricultural Marketing Society, Nutritional Centers (ICDS), Anganwadi Centre, ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist), Sports Field, Public Library, Public Reading Room, Assembly Polling station, Birth & Death Registration Office. In Town Directory, all seven Statements of 2001 Census were retained. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA are presented in DCHB, as presented in previous Censuses.

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. The two parts have been published in separate volumes.

The Non-Census data or village and town level amenities data for DCHB was collected in Village Directory Schedule and Town Directory Schedule designed and sent by the Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India. The blank schedules were sent to village level officials through their respective tahsil offices in case of villages and to town authorities in case of towns. The data compiled and supplied by them were compared with the data published in 2001 Census and also cross checked with the information obtained from various departments of State Government. An attempt was made to reconcile the discrepancies to make it more reliable. The digitization of VD & TD data and validity checks were done in-house. It must be noted that the village wise area figures presented in the PCA are based on information supplied by village level revenue officials in Village Directories and the total given for the CD Block levels is the total of the area figures of villages coming under it. In the case of district and State area totals shown are based on the information furnished by the Survey of India, Govt. of India. Therefore, the total area of district may not match the total of area figures of the villages of the respective tahsils and districts. I am thankful to all the village and town level officials, respective tahsil and town authorities and district administration of State Government for their co-operation in accomplishing this task.

I express my sincere gratitude to Dr. C. Chandramouli, Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India for his valuable guidance and support. The task of planning and designing of DCHB was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, ARG(SS) in Social Studies Division of ORGI under the guidance and supervision of Shri Deepak Rastogi, Addl. RGI. Shri A.P. Singh, DRG (Map), provided technical guidance in preparation of Maps. Shri A.K. Arora, Joint Director (DP Division) under the overall supervision of Shri M.S. Thapa, Addl. Director (EDP) provided full co-operation in preparation of record structure for digitization and validity checks of Village and Town Directory data and the program for the generation for cross classified tables. I am thankful to all of them.

The data presented in DCHB together with drafting of DCHB reports, preparation of maps, manuscripts and its printing as per the guidelines of ORGI required concerted efforts of a team comprised of Shri Jose T. Varghese, Dr. I.C. Agrawal, Deputy Directors, Shri C.M. Joshi, Shri R. Patel, Dr. P.K. Sao, Assistant Directors, Smt. Rajni Jose and Shri Hirendra Kumar Sinha, Senior Compilers, Shri Mrigendra Bahadur Singh, Compiler of this Census Directorate. I express my appreciation for their untiring work.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT

Rajnandgaon district came into existence on 26th January 1973. It was carved out of the then Durg district. At that point of time, Rajnandgaon district comprised of three tahsils namely, Rajnandgaon, Kawardha and Khairagarh. Besides this 497 villages of Chowki, Mohala and Manpur Revenue Inspectors Circles of Sanjari Balod tahsil were transferred to Rajnandgaon tahsil. Kawardha tahsil was later, in July 1998 separated from Rajnandgaon district to form a new Kawardha district, later renamed as Kabeerdham.

Physiographically the district can be divided into three distinct parts(1) Hilly part of the west (2) Southern plateau and (3) Plain region of eastern part. The ranges of Maikal and Mangata are spread in western part of the district. The ranges in the west of Chhuikhadan are the highest in the region. The Maikal ranges in the district are known by different names viz. in Khairagarh tahsil-Singbora, Zilmili, Malharghat, Banjari, Lachhana and in Rajnandgaon tahsil- Chhuria and Kasam. The area is thickly covered with forests. Southern part of the district is a plateau. This part is undulating and higher than the Chhattisgarh plain in altitude . In the south-eastern part in Rajhara hills which extends in Durg district. Sheonath is the most important rive of the district.

The historical past of Nandgaon (the old name of Rajnandgaon), Khairagarh and Chhuikhadan, as reported in the District Census Handbook, 1961- Durg district: Pg-XXII is reproduced below-

Nandgaon:

The area of Rajnandgaon tahsil was ruled by Vaisya kings. The name Nandgaon is said to have originated from ‘Nand’ i.e. father of lord Krishna and ‘gaon’ meaning village. The name was probably given by the Bairagi family who were devotees of lord Krishna and ruled the State. Another interpretation is that Nand means ant-hill in the local dialect and Nandgoan means “The Village of ant Hills.” The history of the establishment of the State is interesting. A shawl merchant from Punjab by name Prahlad Das Bairagi came to Ratanpur in Bilaspur district towards the end of 18th Century. He become a wealthy man and on his death his property devolved on his disciple Hari Das who in addition to being the spiritual guide of the seven Ranis of Maratha Chief Bimbaji started money-lending and in this business he secured the Zamindari of Pandadah. After Hari Das’s death, his disciple Ram Das continued the money lending business and he secured Nandgaon Zamindari in satisfaction of a loan advanced to a mohamadan Zamindar thereof. Mohgaon was conferred on the fifth Mahant the Bhonsalas and whose estate was divided between the chiefs of Nandgaon and Khairagarh as a reward for their help in putting down the

9

revolt. These various acquisitions i.e. Pandadah, Nandgaon, Mohgaon and Dongargaon formed the feudatory State of Nandgaon in 1865. Ghasi Das the seventh Mahant was married and the government decided that his son could succeed him to the feudatory State’s throne. His son was Raja Balram Das who contributed to the construction of Raipur and Rajnandgaon water works.

Khairagarh:

The ruling family of this ex-feudatory State claimed descent from the Nagvanshi Rajput king of Chhota Nagpur and the first in line, Laxminidhi came here and established himself at Kholwa. Shiaghan was the Zamindar of Kholwa in 1740. Other territories were acquired as follows :- Khamaria on the north-east was seized from the Kawardha chief at the end of the 18th century in lieu of a small loan, Khairagarh tract was received at an early date from the Mandla Rajas. Dongargarh was received from the Bhonsalas because the chief helped the Marathas in suppressing the revolt by the zamindar.

Chhuikhadan:

The name of this ex-feudatory State means ‘quary of white Clay’. The nucleus of this ex-feudatory State was formerly the Khondka tract which was acquired from the Zamindar of Parpodi in satisfaction of loan by Mahant Rupdas, a baniya, who was the founder of this State about the middle of the 18th Century. The Status of the feudatory chief was conferred on the chief in 1865. It is said that Rupdas was a close relation of the Maharaja of Udaipur who, owing to some ill feelings arising in the family, turned a bairagi and settled at Panipat where he attracted a following. He came to Bhonsalas at Nagpur as a trader in horses and was made a cavalry chief in which capacity he suppressed the revolt by the zamindar of Khondka.

Brief Note on Primary Census Abstract

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

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

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

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

2. Population Enumeration - Census 2011:

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

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

17

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 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.

18

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

4. Primary Census Abstract:

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

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

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

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

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

The PCA Data for villages was presented C.D. Block wise for the first time in 1991 Census. This practice is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. The term ‘Total Population’ includes the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, the Institutional and the Houseless populations. An appendix to District

19

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. -----------------------------------------------------------------
