PURULIYA

VILLAGE AND TOWN WISE PRIMARY CENSUS ABSTRACT (PCA)

Directorate of Census Operations West Bengal

Puruliya Chhau DanceChhau is a traditional and very popular folk dance inextricably

mixed with the life and culture of the people of Puruliya, which has woninternational acclaim due to life-long efforts of Padmasree late GambhirSing Mura, a legendary figure in the realm of Chhau dance. It is quitedistinct from the Chhau dance prevailing at Mayurbhanj of Orissa and atSeraikela of Jharkhand. The peculiar characteristic of Purulia Chhaudance lies in the fact that the artists are common day-labourers who toilin the field through out the day and after day’s hard work, they performthis dance with their usual acrobatic skill and enthusiasm. Mask is alsoan important characteristic of Puruliya Chhau dance. Chorida inBaghmundi PS is famous for its being the home of the mask-makers ofChhau dance. A mask is made of paper pulp and covers the face of thedancer, leaving only four holes, two for the eyes and two for the nostrils.The cultural history of the district would be incomplete without a referenceto the Jhumur songs of Purulia, which are mainly composed on Vaishnavathemes and still retain the natural fragrance of folk music. The verymusic of Jhumur song has been nicely adopted in the grand mosaic ofChhau - a rare synthesis dear to all.

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 and 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 by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly

2

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.

CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 Census as presented in earlier Census. 6. 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. Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census. 7. The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled and computerized under the supervision of Shri Deepak Ghosh, IAS., Director of Census Operation, West Bengal. The task of Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS) under the guidance & supervision of Dr. R.C.Sethi, Ex-Addl.

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. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at grass-root level.

In 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 into it. 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. 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.

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’.

The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details and the data of each town have been presented viz.; (i)-Status and Growth History of towns,(ii)- Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii)-Civic and other Amenities, (iv)-Medical Facilities, (v)-Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi)- Industry & Banking, and (vii)- Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively.

Brief history of the district

Puruliya came into being as a district of West Bengal in 1956. Puruliya is the

westernmost district of West Bengal with allIndia significance because of its tropical

location, its shape as well as function like a funnel. It funnels not only the tropical

monsoon current from the Bay of Bengal to the sub-tropical parts of north-west India,

but also acts as a gateway between the developed industrial belts of West Bengal and

the neighbourhoods in Orissa, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

Erstwhile the territory of Puruliya district was part of Banga, one of the

Mahajanapadas (Mahājanapadain Sanskrit language literally means“great realm”)

which was one of the sixteen kingdoms that existed in ancient India from the sixth to

the fourth centuries BCE. Following the Jain Bhagavati–Sutra, Puruliya district

existed even in the circa 5th century A.D. The ancient history of Puruliya was depicted

with the name Vajra–bhumi. Vajra–bhumi in the medieval times includes the whole

part of present Jharkhand.

However Vajra–bhumi, since its advent has passed through several hands, has

underwent enormous change and the whole district continued to exist as fragmented

sections which were controlled by several kings. Hence, any ancient history of

Puruliya is not available which may be referred as an authentic document. At last in

the year 1365 the entire territory of Bengal came under the Muslim influence, when

the Afghan Chief BakhtiyarKhalji ousted the last Sena King Lakshman Sena from

Bengal. Bengal reached its culmination in the Sultanate regime which consolidated

the disintegrated portions of Bengal and established a separate territory. Following the

ancient chronicle accounts of Puruliya it was under these Subhas (A subah was a

province of the Mughal Empire in South Asia. The Governor of a subah was known as

a subahdar, which later became subedar to refer to an officer in the Indian Army. The

subahs were established by the Mughal Emperor Akbar during his administrative

reforms of 1572–1580) or the Sultans, the broken fragments of Puruliya and other

parts of Bengal were united.

The sovereignty of Bengal was lost in the year 1765 at the battle of Plassey

whenSiraj-ud-daulah was defeated by the British. Afterwards by Regulation XVIIII of

1805, Jungle Mahals (literally ‘jungle estates’) district was formed by the British

including independent chiefdoms lying between Birbhum, Bankura, Midnapore and

the hilly country of Chota Nagpur. The district composed of 23 parganas and mahals

including the present Puruliya. Later in the year 1833, by Regulation XIII, the Jungle

Mahals district was broken up and a new district called Manbhum was constituted

10

with headquarters at Manbazar. The district was very large in size and included parts

of Bankura and Bardhaman districts and Dhanbad, Dhalbhum and Seraikela–

Kharswan districts of present Jharkhand states. In 1838, again the district

headquarters was transferred from Manbazar to Puruliya. Since the formation of the

district it was withdrawn from regular administration and placed under an officer

called Principal Assistant to the agent to the Governor–General for South–Western

Frontier. The title of the officer Principal Agent was later changed to Deputy

Commissioner by Act XX of 1854.

Finally in the year 1956, after 8 years from India’s independent,Manbhum

district was partitioned between Bihar and West Bengal under the States

Reorganization Act and the Bihar and West Bengal (Transfer of Territories) Act 1956

and the present Puruliya district was born on November 1, 1956.

The district is currently a part of the Red Corridor (The Red Corridor is a region

in the east of India that experiences considerable Naxalite–Maoist insurgency. The

naxalites group mainly consist of the armed cadres of Communist Party of India

(Maoist). These are also areas that suffer from the greatest illiteracy, poverty and

overpopulation).

People of Puruliya district normally speak in Bengali language but in a different

style, called Manbhumi dialect, the words of which seems to originate from a group of

Austric, Santal, Kalarian or Non-Arya communities. The dialect made its deep rooted

place in the local folk songs, dance, festivals and all other artistic forms. With the

passage of time, many pure Bengali speaking and few Hindi speaking people became

permanent inhabitants here, but Manbhumi dialect has survived.

(v) Urban Local Bodies

India has seen the formation of urban local bodies since the time of Indus

Valley Civilization. The first Municipal Corporation was set up at erstwhile Madras

(now Chennai) under a charter granted by James–II during the British rule in 1687.

There are different types of urban local bodies, namely, Municipal Corporations,

Municipal Councils, Municipalities, Notified Area Committees, Cantonment Boards

etc. Except the Cantonment Boards all other types of municipal bodies are governed

by the state municipal laws. Cantonment Boards are controlled by the Central Act

called Cantonment Acts, 1924. A municipality is constituted with elected members of

the inhabitants of a city or town and municipal corporations, and is created by the

enactment of State Legislatures or of Parliament in case of Union Territories. The area

which does not fulfil all the conditions lay down as necessary for the constitution of a

municipality or it may also be created for newly developing towns or areas are known

as Notified Area Committee. Except Notified Area, the councils of all these corporate

bodies comprise of elected members of the public through adult franchise (citizen of

18 years and above) based on secret ballot. The notified area is governed by the State

Governments through a body nominated by it. Apart from overall planning, creation

and maintenance of Civil Administration, the primary object of every urban local body

is to provide certain civic amenities to the people.

As already stated, there are 3 Municipalities in the Puruliya district, namely

Puruliya, Jhalda and Raghunathpur all of which are more than 100 years old. The

Puruliya Municipality was established in 1876, the Jhalda Municipality in 1886 and

the relatively new Raghunathpur Municipality was established in 1888.

Civil Administration

The Civil Administration of the district is headed by a District Magistrate who

acts as the Principal Executive of the district monitoring and co–ordinating all the

Governmental activities within the district viz. conducting of election, census,

implementing of government orders etc.There are 3 Sub–divisional head under him to

Development Officers for each C.D. Block.Superintendent of Police is the head of

Police Administration of the district and under him there are three Sub–divisional

Police Officers to look after three Sub–divisions with Inspector in–charge/Officer in–

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.

19

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, 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

20

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 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:

21

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.
