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 1991Census 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 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 byincluding some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodities’ 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 District Census Handbook is a unique publication brought out un-

interruptedly by the Census Organization since 1951 Census. The publication is widely used by Administrators, Planners, Demographers, Research Scholars and other data users. It contains village-wise and town-wise demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the district along with the status of availability of civic amenities, infrastructural facilities etc.

In earlier censuses, District Census Handbooks were published in single volume with two parts. Part-A of DCHB contained Village and Town Directory and Part –B contained Village and Town Primary Census Abstract data for each district. But this time, it is published in two volumes separately for Part–A and Part-B of each district without changing the nomenclature of DCHB of 2001. This volume contains the Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract(PCA) along with Housing Amenities data.

From 2001 Census onwards, the software designed/created by the Data Processing Division of the Office of the Registrar General, India has been used for generation of tables. It reduced considerably the time taken for preparation of the District Census Handbooks. District Census Handbooks are published in Electronic form (pdf files) for the first time during the current Census.

I express my deep gratitude to Dr. C. Chandramouli, Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, for his encouragement and valuable guidance for completion of this volume within a timeframe. I thank Shri Deepak Rastogi, Additional Registrar General (C&T), Shri A.P.Singh, Deputy Registrar General (Map), Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS) of Office of the Registrar General, India for their guidance at each step in the preparation of DCHB. Special thanks are due to Shri. M.S. Thapa, Additional Director (EDP), Shri Anil Kumar Arora, Joint Director (EDP) and Shri Anurag Gupta, DPA (EDP) without their untiring efforts and support, we could not have completed the District Census Handbooks within this time. They were always willing to listen to our requests and find solution for the problems we faced.

All Departments of the State Government co-operated in giving data for inclusion in the publication.

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.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT Malappuram district came into existence on June 16, 1969.

Malappuram district is composed of portion of the erstwhile Palakkad and Kozhikode districts. It was carved out of Ernad taluk and portions of Tirur taluk of Kozhikode district and portions of Perinthalmannna and Ponnani taluks of Palakkad district. The ancient history of the places comprising of the district is obscure. However, there are some pre-historic relics found in some parts of the district, particularly Dolmens, Menhirs and Rock-cut caves. In Manjeri town and in Nilambur village, these relics are found. Rock-cut caves are also seen in Trumbuli, Puliyakkode, Trikkulam, Urakam, Melmuri, Ponmala, Vallikunnu and Vengara. The ancient archeological relics include the fortified palace of the eastern branch of the Zamorin’s family known as Kizhakke Kovilakom. The Zamorins held sway over Malappuram and their chieftain Para Nambi, ruled the area in early days. There are some renowned old temples in the district, which have archeological and architectural values. Of them Thirunavaya Vishnu temple, Triparangode Siva temple, Hanumankavu, Chamravattathu Ayyappankavu, Trikkandiyur Siva temple, Keraladhiswaram Vishnu temple, Vennayur Vishnur temple and Karikkad Subramonia temple are important.

During the Sangam period, the district formed part of the Chera Empire. No further details are available about the life and culture of the people either during the Sangam age or in the post-Sangam age. However, the inscriptional evidence found at the Triparangode temple indicates that Goda Ravi of the Chera empire had his sway over this region. Similarly details of the rulers of Ernad, who were the ancestors of later Zamorins, figure in the Jewish copper plates of Bhaskara Ravi Varman (1000 AD) and in the Kottayam copper plates of Veera Raghava Chakravarthy (1225 AD). The later history of the district is interwoven with the history of Zamorin’s rule. Zamorin or Samury or Samuthiri originally belonged to Nediyiruppu in Ernad taluk of Malappuram district before shifting his seat to Kozhikode. The conquests of Zamorin in the pre-Portuguese period deserve special mention, particularly his conquests over Parappanad and Vettathunadu (Tanur). The war with Valluvakkonathiri ended in establishing Zamorin’s superiority and gave him the honour of presiding over the Mamankam, as the ‘Rakshapurusha’ or protector of Mamankam. By 1400 AD Zamorin acquired hegemony over the entire district.

The Portuguese period commences with the arrival of VascoDa Gama on the Kerala coast in 1498. The Zamorin gave him all facilities for trade, However, the attitude of the Portuguese underwent radical changes resulting in conflicts with the Zamorin. Ponnani (which now forms part of the district) also was an important target of the Portuguese. In 1507 Almeida raided Ponnani and started building a fortress there in 1585. By the close of the 16th century, the Portuguese supremacy in the Malabar Coast started dwindling and it slowly declined giving political advantage to the Dutch. Unmindful of Portuguese opposition, the Zamorin entered into a treaty with the Dutch East India Company on 11th November 1604. This was followed by another treaty in 1608, which confirmed the earlier treaty and the Dutch assured assistance to Zamorin in expelling the Portuguese. By the middle of the 17th century, the Dutch had monopoly of the foreign trade in the Kerala coast except for small English factories at Ponnani and Calicut. The arrival of Captain Keeling at Kozhikode in 1650 and the conclusion of a treaty with

10

the Zamorin paved way for the British supremacy in the region. Though the British had to face stiff resistance in Malabar from the Portuguese, the Dutch and the French, the English in the earlier years mainly concentrated in fostering trade rather than involving themselves in military exercises.

The Mysorean invasions during the period had political overtones in Malabar. During his conquest between 1766-93, Haider Ali marched to Ponnani facing stiff resistance from the local Nairs. Haider Ali adopted severe and primitive means for punishing enemy troops. With headquarters at Manjeri, his troops spread all over the district capturing men, women and children. His draconian measures produced an outward calm in the district though it did not last for long. During 1768-73 Haider was busy with his campaigns against the Mahrattas, but at the end of 1773, he again invaded Malabar through the Thamarasseri pass. In 1778 a rebellion broke out against the authority of Mysorean ruler. The English East India Company encouraged the local rulers and they helped the local people to rise to shake off the Mysorean yoke. The British force under Col. Humberstone had to face the Mysorean army led by Makhdum Ali, which ended in the death of the latter in April 1782. The greater part of his army was also lost. At this juncture, Haider Ali sent his son Tippu Sultan to restore his authority over Malabar. But Tippu could not continue for long in Malabar as his father passed away and he had to inherit his father’s throne. In 1788 Tippu Sultan again invaded Kerala with a large army and without facing much resistance he could establish his suzerainty and establish Feroke as his capital. But the signing of the treaty at Serinagapatanam in 1792 resulted in the collapse of the Mysore throne and the large tract of Malabar, which was under the authority of Mysoreans, was ceded to the British. The British Commissioner’s effected a political settlement and thereby the rulers of Parappanad and Vettathunad were required to pay their revenues through the Zamorin, who was also temporarily vested the powers to administer justice over all these petty Rajahs. These arrangements also did not last long as the revenues of the district could not be paid by the Zamorin to the British promptly. Under the strict orders of the Governor of Bombay on 5th July 1796, the Commissioners took the direct management of the Zamorin’s estates, but on payment of dues they returned the territories to him. However, the rebellion of Manjeri Attan Gurukkal again resulted in non-payment of revenues by Zamorin and the Company taking this opportunity assumed the control of the districts governed by the Zamorin in October 1798. Thereafter the British Collectors ruled Malabar, which include the present Malappuram district. During the reign of the British also, the peace of the region was often disturbed due to Mappila riots. At the close of the 19th century the situation in the district was almost peaceful.

The Indian National Congress was founded in 1885 and many delegates from Kozhikode and Malabar attended the annual sessions of the Congress held at various places in the country. However, no organised political movement took place until the beginning of the 20th century. In 1908, the District Congress Committee was formed in Malabar and many people actively participated in its activities. The first political conference was held at Palakkad in 1916 followed by the conferences at Kozhikode in 1917, Tellicherry in 1918 and at Badagara in 1919. But the most important conference was the Manjeri Political Conference held on 28th April 1920, consequent on the announcement of the Montague Chelmsford Reforms of 1919 which was attended by about 1300 delegates from all parts of Malabar. Sri K.P.RamanMenon on behalf of the extremists moved the main political

11

resolution declaring that India was fit for full self-government and the Monague Chelmsford Reforms were quite unsatisfactory and disappointing. Dr.AnnieBeasant, who was also present at the conference, opposed the resolution but it was passed by a huge majority. Another noteworthy resolution passed at the conference was the demand for tenancy reforms. In a nutshell Manjeri Political Conference was a turning point in the history of the political movement in Kerala. The Non-cooperation and Khilaphat movement had also their repercussions in the district. The Khilaphat movement was started as a protest against the decision of the British government who deprived Turkey of her homelands, which they agreed during the Great War. The Khilaphat committees were set up all over Malabar particularly in the then Ernad and Valluvanad taluks. The arrest of the Secretary of the local Khilaphat committee of Pookkottur on the pretext that he had stolen a gun from the Pookkottur palace of Nilambur Thirumulpadu resulted in a series of outbreaks in Malabar. Several encounters took place between the Mappila rebels and the British troops. These events, known as the Malabar Rebellion of 1921, spread to Tirurangadi, Malappuram, Manjeri, Perinthalmanna, Pandikkad, Tirur etc. The official history of the Congress states that upto 28th August 1921, the administration in Malappuram, Tirurangadi, Manjeri and Perinthalmanna was almost virtually ended, as these areas fell under the rebel leaders. At the same time, the congress workers were very active in preaching, non-violence and rendering all help to various victims of the disturbances. It is an irony of fate that while the Mappila rebels were being rounded up and punished, the Congress leaders who were preaching non-violence were also arrested and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. The Kozhikode district Gazetter states that, at the final phase of the rebellion the Mappilas became desperate and committed acts of forcible conversion, looting of Hindus, arson and murder besides looting and destroying public offices. The rebellion was crushed by hanging or deporting the rebels to the AnadmanIslands, besides imprisoning large number of persons. Sri K.P.Kesava Menon who had intimate personal knowledge of the men and women connected with the rebelllion has expressed the view quoted from Kozhikode District Gazetteer that “there is no doubt regarding the genesis of the rebellion on 1921. It was born out of police repression. Its chief cause was the excessive violence used by the authorities to suppress the Khilaphat movement, and not any Jenmi-Kudiyar conflict or dispute regarding mosque. When police atrocities became unbearable, they gave up the vow of non-violence and decided to meet violence with violence itself”. After the rebellion, the political activity in Malabar came to a standstill till the starting of the Civil Disobedience Movement. The Payyanur Conference in May 1928 was presided over by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and it generated great enthusiasm among the masses and gave a fresh impetus to the activities to the activities of the Congress in Malabar. Volunteers from this district also participated in the famous Salt Satyagraha on 1930 and may courted arrest. The withdrawal of the Civil Disobedience Movement led to a peculiar political situation in the country. The younger general of the Congress men decided to form a Congress Socialist Party in 1934. This leftist group who subscribed to the community ideology was under the leadership of P. Krishna Pillai and E.M.SNamboodiripad. The rift in the Congress became very serious at its meeting in Shornur in October 1934. In 1936, elections were held to the Madras Legislature base on the revisions of the Government of India Act, 1935 and all the Congress candidates from Malabar were retuned to the

12

provincial legislature. The volunteers of this district also participated in the Quit India Movement of 1942 and many persons were put behind the bars. Of the major political set up in Malabar, the most important was the emergence of Kerala Muslim League as a political party in the district under the leadership of Syed Abdul Rahman Bafaki Thangal, K.M. Sethi Sahib and C.H.Mohammed Koya. It is worthwhile to say here that the population of this district consists mostly Muslims. The people are pious and the back ground of the people tells the story of an arduous life in the midst of hills, boulders and rocks.

ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP

There are two systems of administrative set up in the district –Revenue and local self-government. Under the revenue system the district is divided into Revenue Divisions, Taluks and Villages. Under the local administration set up the district is divided into statutory towns and panchayats.For the implementation of development activities Panchayats are grouped into community development blocks. Therefore all these units viz.Taluks, Villages, Statutory towns, Community development blocks and Panchayats have their own relevance and importance.This hand book contains data for all this units.

The district now comprises of two RevenueDivisions consisting of 6 taluks and 135 villages. The two Revenue Divisions are Tirur division comprising of Tirur, Tirurangadi and Ponnanitaluks consisting of 59 villages and Perinthalmanna division comprising of Ernad, Nilambur and Perinthalmannataluks consisting of 76 villages. Under the local self-government system, the district is divided into 5 statutory towns and14 Development blocks consisting of 102 Panchayats.The distributions of Villages, Towns, Panchayats and C.D Blocks are given in table below.

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 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 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

21

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 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

22

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.

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 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:

23

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.

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 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.
