| What does the definition of work in 1961 include that might explain changes in category I ratios? | 'supervision and direction in cultivation' | (c) ratio in statement above is perhaps explained by the land reforms and the defintion of work in 1961 which includes 'supervision and direction in cultivation'. Category II shows a generally low index of growth in rural areas, category VII alone regis- tering a sti1] lower rate. The ratios, substantial and all in the negative, indicate genuine decline in proportions. This trend is reflected in the urban areas also in a far more decisive manner. Category III records a substantial increase in the male index and ratios in rural areas but an almost equally substantial increase in the female index and ratios, considering the low female base. | 119 | definition | 1.000 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/30327/download/33508/43176_1961_FPT.pdf | (c) ratio in statement above is perhaps explained by the land reforms and the defintion of work in 1961 which includes 'supervision and direction in cultivation'. | 96 | page=96,block=10 | 0.700 | valid |

| What was the criterion for literacy in the 1961 Census? | if a person above the age of four could with understanding both read and write | The test of literacy for the 1961 Census was satisfied if a person above the age of four could with understanding both read and write. But literacy ratios in our present account include persons who can both read and write and have also passed a written examination or examinations as proof of an educational standard. The correct procedure for computing literacy ratios would be to exclude the age group 0-4 from the popula- tion of males and females. But the proportion of this group being not yet available, the rates have been computed on the total population. Thus the effective rates will be higher than here discussed. The progress of general literacy has been sl uggish throughout the country, having increased at an average of o· 8 per cent per year for the general popu1ation, l' 0 for males and O· 5 for females. | 55 | definition | 1.000 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/30327/download/33508/43176_1961_FPT.pdf | The test of literacy for the 1961 Census was satisfied if a person above the age of four could with understanding both read and write. | 49 | page=49,block=11 |
