| What is the purpose of the present volume described? | a handy volume containing some key tables in some key areas | Each decennial Census in India throws up a large mass of data, covering a number of characteristics, often cross-classified by one or more other characteristics. The tables containing these data upto various levels of presentation go into hundreds of all-India and State or Union Territory-level volumes. While for indepth studies relating to particular parameters and particular levels of data-presentation, reference has necessarily to be made to the concerned volumes, we thought that a handy volume containing some key tables in some key areas may be of quite some use, for purposes of ready reference, alike to the researcher, the administrator and the lay person. The value of such a compendium, we further thought, will be enhanced if the tables are hacked up by and illustrated through maps, charts and diagrams. The present volume aims to be just this. | 488 | definition | 1.000 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/28122/download/31304/49962_1981_POR.pdf | While for indepth studies relating to particular parameters and particular levels of data-presentation, reference has necessarily to be made to the concerned volumes, we thought that a handy volume containing some key tables in some key areas may be of quite some use, for purposes of ready reference, alike to the researcher, the administrator and the lay person. |
