| What ensures the Standard Urban Area remains a fixed geographical entity? | even when statutory limits of existing towns are changed | To overcome this difficulty and for sake of giving continued comparability in each census, the oonc6ption of the Standard Urban Area was designed in 1971 Census, The Sta.ndard Urban Area has been defined as the "projected growth area" as it would be in 19!H of a city or core town which will generally have a. population of 50,000 or more in 1971. The area was delineated in such a manner that not only the would be towns and viUages get merged into it but the intervening areas having potentiality for urbanisation growth was also covered in demarcation. The utility of the concept lies in the fact that even when statutory limits of existing towns are changed this area would remain a fixed geographical entity. The Standard Urban Ar~a thus has a dearly demarcated boundary with a large core town or a ,city as its nucleus alongwith the adjoining areas, wPich may be rural or urban. | 605 | relationship | 0.970 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/30479/download/33660/40508_1971_GPT.pdf | The utility of the concept lies in the fact that even when statutory limits of existing towns are changed this area would remain a fixed geographical entity. |

| What was the criticism of the dichotomous classification of population in the 1961 Census? | the status of areas on the periphery of the towns which, though affected by the town, were classified as rural in 1961 Census | TABLE A-V-STANDAllD UllBAN AREAS Fr.._YLEAF The usual dichot:lmous classification of the entire population into rural and urban components had been verily criticised at various quarters after tbe 1961 Census. The main target vf the criticism related to the status of areas on the periphery of the towns which, though affected by the town, were classified as rural in 1961 Census. Introduction of the concept of the town-group was also an innovation of the 1961 Census. This, however, would not satisfy the critics. The concept of town-group was, however, subsequently examined by different interes"ed agencies at var'ious levels and was considered fit to be given up in favour of spatially contiguous territory of urban-rural settlement. | 253 | summary | 0.970 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/30479/download/33660/40508_1971_GPT.pdf | The main target vf the criticism related to the status of areas on the periphery of the towns which, though affected by the town, were classified as rural in 1961 Census. | 7 |
| Why are areas included in Urban Agglomeration unlikely to provide a base for benchmark statistics? | As these areas would be .subject to change from one census to another | The town-group approach was dropped primarily :because each town being subject to statutory changes during the decade between the two census counts-did not afford 30n intra-censal comparison of important statis- tics. Besides, the constituent towns in any town-group were separated by un-incorporated a.reas and gave an ambiguous look to the very concept. This led to the use of the term Urban Agglomeration in the census terminology at the 1971 Census. It has altogether different connotation. The urban agglomeration takes into its fold the core town and the auxiliary units of habitation which are in close vicinity of the town and are deemed to be outer extremities of the town in the shape of its outgrowth or the suburban satellite. As these areas would be .subject to change from one census to another, they are unlikely to provide a base for collection of bench mark statistics. | 739 | summary | 0.970 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/30479/download/33660/40508_1971_GPT.pdf | The urban agglomeration takes into its fold the core town and the auxiliary units of habitation which are in close vicinity of the town and are deemed to be outer extremities of the town in the shape of its outgrowth or the suburban satellite.
