    HARGAURI KI PRATIMA, REWA

    It is situated in the Padamdhar Park near Ghora Chauraha in Rewa city.

    Found in the 11th century from a place called Gurgi in Rewa district, this

    large idol is under the shade of a canopy in Padamdhar Park. This idol is

    significant from the archaeological point of view. It shows Shiva holding

    Parvati in embrace. In the upper section of the tablet garlanded love making

    couple in a flying posture can be seen from both the sides. On the forehead

    of Shiva is his third eye while the head is crowned with matted hair. In his

    ears he is wearing large earrings and a three stringed chain adorns his neck.

    His chest is decorated with seven stringed pearls. On his right shoulder he

    wears the sacred thread. There is a girdle round his navel. He is also

    embellished with armlets and anklets. Parvati stands on the left of shiva and

    her arms are full of bangles and bracelets. A long chain hangs from her neck

    while a broad necklace covers her breasts. In between her breasts she wears

    a pendant and a chain encircles her navel. Anklets adorn her feet. Below her

    navel she wears a transparent corset bedecked with flowers. The right hand

    of Parvati is placed on the shoulder of Shiva and she holds a lotus flower in

    her left hand.

    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 added amenities are: Pre-

    Primary School, Engineering College, Medical College, Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-

    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. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and

    Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 Census as presented in earlier Census.

    PREFACE

    The District Census Handbook (DCHB) compiled by the Census organization, Government of

    India is one of the most valuable and useful product of the Census which is brought out for

    each district in the State having micro level Census and Non Census data . It contains CD Block

    wise Primary Census Abstract at village/ward level under Census data. The amenities data

    along with additional information regarding area, population, civic status, land use etc. for

    every village/town is covered under Non Census data. This publication started from the 1951

    Census, but prior to this, a similar publication was released in the earlier censuses. Those

    publications contained only village statistics, village names and total population. The 1951

    Census could, therefore be said to represent a significant step forward, in the process of

    making detailed census statistics available down to the village level. An important achievement,

    for the first time in 1991 Census, was that the village level data was presented Community

    Development Blockwise.

    The scope of District Census Handbook has undergone considerable change since 1951. This is

    basically due to the growing demand for more information. To make the basic statistics

    available to the data users, as early as possible, the District Census Handbook of 1991 was

    brought out in a single volume as against the earlier practice of bringing it out in two parts. The

    volume was however divided in two parts viz. part A and part B. Part A contained the

    Village/Town Directory while part B contained the Primary Census Data. Continuing the

    practice of 1991 Census, the 2001 series of the District Census Handbooks also comprised of

    two parts. However the present DCHB is prepared in two separate volumes. Volume II contains

    the Primary Census Abstract and Volume I contains the village/town directory of the District.

    Volume II of the District Census Handbook contains Village and Town Primary Census Abstract.

    This provides information on area, occupied residential houses, number of households, sex-

    wise total population, child population in age-group 0-6, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled

    Tribes, literates, workers, non-workers and classification of workers into four broad categories

    i.e. cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers in household industries and other workers in

    respect of each village and town of the district. Besides the brief history and other major

    characteristics of the district, inset tables and appendixes based on Houselisting and PCA

    alongwith analysis in the District Census Handbook provide glimpse of availability of amenities

    to villages relating to housing, assets available with households and demographic profile of

    population at tahsil/ C.D block level which are helpful for rural planning.

    Volume I contains Village Directory which provides information on infrastructure amenities and

    land use data at village level i.e. name and location of villages, area, population, number of

    households, important civic amenities/facilities available in villages like educational, medical,

    drinking water, drainage, post, telegraph, public call office, mobile coverage, internet cafe,

    private courier service, commercial and co-operative banks, agricultural and non-agricultural

    credit societies, recreational and cultural facilities, communications, approach to the village,

    nearest town and its distance and power supply. Similarly, the comprehensive statements and

    their analysis of Town Directory provide valuable information on growth, physical, economic,

  • xii

    civic and development aspects in respect of each town of the district. C.D. block being the

    lowest administrative unit for developmental planning, it is assumed that the data provided at

    this level would be extremely useful to the planners for formulating micro level development

    plans.

    It may be noted that the village wise area figures presented in the PCA are based on village

    information as furnished by the revenue authority and the “total area” given for the

    community development blocks, is the sum total of the area figures of all villages coming under

    it. The “total area” of tahsil is based on the information furnished by the Commissioner, Land

    Records ,Government of Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior. In some cases the total area shown against

    the tahsil, may not tally with the total of the area figures of villages coming under it.

    The design of 2011 District Census Handbook has been evolved centrally by the Census

    Commissioner, India and accordingly these books have been prepared by my office. In earlier

    censuses and until 1991, the cost of publication of these books were borne by the State

    Government but since 2001 these are being printed centrally by the Census organization. In

    accomplishing this task we have had the whole hearted cooperation of the staff at various

    levels of different departments of the State Government. The data supplied by the field level

    officers have been comparatively checked with 2001 DCHB information and have been cross

    checked with the data obtained from various departments. An attempt had been made to

    reconcile the discrepancies by external validation to make it more reliable. I am grateful to all

    heads of departments of the State Government, officers and staff engaged in the conduct of

    2011 Census for their cooperation to accomplish this task.

    The compilation of such a huge amount of varied data requires proper planning and

    close monitoring. We had the honour of having enlightened guidance and

    encouragement of Dr. C. Chandramouli, IAS, Registrar General and Census

    Commissioner of India.

    The data presented in the District Census Handbook required a concerted team work of officers

    and staff member of this Directorate who were involved with it at various stages of its

    planning, supervision, field work, computerisation, preparation of manuscript, maps and

    printing. I express my appreciation for the painstaking dedicated service rendered by all of

    them and also to the officers and staff of Data Centre, Bhopal for their untiring cooperation in

    finalizing the 2011 Census Data.

    I shall feel greatly rewarded if the book comes to the expectation of the data users.

    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

  • xvi

    and other Amenities, (iv) Medical Facilities, (v) Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi) Industry & Banking, and (vii) Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 census as presented in earlier census. 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.

    BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT

    Rewa district came into existence on 2nd April 1948. Earlier it was known as north Rewa district. The present district derives its name from its erstwhile ruling clan of Rewa as well as Rewa town the district headquarters. It is another name for Narmada river, which is synonym for Rewa. It is also named after the clan name of the ruling house of Rewa. The river Narmada originates from Amarkantak (Shahdol district) plateau of Maikal ranges of former Rewa state.

    The ancient history of Rewa is known from “Bharhut Stupa” (erected during Ashoka dynasty). The region was held by Maurya dynasty during the second and third century B.C., later it fell to the Shungas. During the fourth and fifth century A.D. it was under the possession of Guptas of Magadharaj. Their rule is recorded in the inscriptions of feudatory kings of Uchhakalpas/Uchchakalpas and of the Parivrajaka Rajas found at Kho in Nagod state. During the fourth century it was recorded in the pillar inscription at Allahabad which mentions the conquest of the “18 forest kingdoms”which were known as“Dahala” region.

    This region has been connected with the Haihayas, Kalchuris who were branches of the same tribe had no historical evidence of their rule but reported to have been ruled during the period 249 to 598 A.D. The “Vrihat Samhita” written in the sixth century, mentions the Chaidyas as a people of the “Madhya-desh” or middle region. During the 7th century it was under the rule of Harshvardhana (606-648 A.D.) On his death the kingdom broke into pieces. Meanwhile Paramaras were establishing themselves in Malwa, the Rajputs (Rashtrakutas) in Kanauj and the Chalukyas in Gujarat and the Chedis seized the Kalanjar region or Baghelkhand and established Chedis kingdom. The tract known as Chedi desh named after them and their title was called Kalanjara- puravardhishvara or lords of Kalanjar. From the 9th century to the end of 12th century the Kalachuris ruled this tract. The most famous Kalachuri king of that time was Gangeyadev Vikramaditya. Al Biruni, the geographer visited India during his reign. Some time in 1289 A.D Chandellas attacked and captured this region.

    After the rulers of Kalachuris, the various tribes such as Bhars, Chauhans, Sengars, Gonds and others set up their own states. Their descendants still inhabit in Mauganj, Huzur tahsil of the district and Raghurajnagar tahsil of Satna district.

    Solankis (Baghelas), Parmars and Pariharas of Gujarat state were born from Chalukya dynasty. The Nagod state was under Parihar Rajputs. In the 9th century, the Chandellas of Bundelkhand drove out the Pariharas towards Baghelkhand who ruled upto the 14th century. But Nagod state records relates only to the 14th century when the Parihars seized Naro Fort from the Telirajas.

    The rulers of Rewa state (Baghelkhand) gave the administrative division and power of state to the area. The Baghela Rajputs are one of the sections of the Chalukyas or Solanki clans of Gujarati Kshatriyas. As per historians, the ruler of that time awarded “Baghela Village (Vyaghrapalli) of Anhilwara ‘jagir’ (estate) to his close relative. One of the descendant son of Viradhavala called Vyaghradev obtained possession of the fort of Marpha, 18 miles north-east of Kalainjar during 1233-34 A.D. and instituted the foundation of “Baghel Raj”. He himself presumed as the founder of Baghela rule.

  • xviii

    From the fort of Marpha the Baghel state started expanding. Karnadev, the son of Vyaghradev married Padma Kumari (Ratan Kumari) the daughter of Somadatta, the Haihaya chief of Ratanpur state. He got Bandhavgarh fort in dowry. He moved his residence to the fort that became the capital of Bandhavgarh till 1597.With the ruin of Anhilwara state, migration of many Baghelas took place to Bandhogarh and to different regions of Rewa state.

    Generation to generation the dynasty of Baghela rule spread from Bara, Atraila and Kasauta (U.P.) in the north including from the boundaries of Banda and Allahabad district upto Narmada river (border of Mandla district) in the south. In the west boundaries of Nagod, Maihar and Jabalpur district were adjoining and in the east Mirzapur etc upto Bilaspur border altogether 13000 Sq.km was the area of Rewa state.

    The terms of Baghelas with Mughal rulers were normally good. Bir Singh whom Babar called Nar Singh ruled Baghela from 1500 to 1540. His son Vir Bhan Singh ruled from 1540 to 1555. It was said that Akbar, the son of Humayun was born in the protection of Virbhan Singh in 1542 in Rewa state, while historically Akbar was born on 15 October 1542 at Amarkot. Raja Ram Chandra was given a copper plate as an honour by Akbar in 1557 that purchased the fort of Kalanjar from former Governor Ali Khan. Later on he handed it over to Akbar from the fear of other Muslim rulers (1569). Impressed with the great singer Tansen of Rewa state at Ram Chand’s court, Akbar took him to his court in 1562. Due to intrigues and disturbances during the rule, king Vikramaditya (1593 - 1624) minor son of Virbhandra shifted the capital from Bandhogarh to Rewa. The representative of Sher Shah Suri laid foundation of fort of Rewa in 1542 at the eastern bank of river Bichhya and Bihar confluence. On this foundation Vikramaditya started construction of the fort, which was completed in 1617. With the help of Delhi rulers, the fort of Bandhogarh again came into the possession of Baghelas in 1602.

    After moving the capital from Bandhogarh to Rewa the political importance flourished at Rewa headquarters. After the rule of King Anup Singh (1640-1666), Anirudh Singh became the chief during the period of Shahjahan (1690-1700). Anirudh Singh was killed by Sengar Thakurs of Maugary in a fight. He left an infant son Audhut Singh. Disturbances started in the state. Taking advantage of the disturbed condition of affairs, Hirde Shah of Panna invaded the country but Bahadur Shah at once sent troops to the rescue of the Baghel chief and Hirde Shah evacuated Rewa and peace was restored. In 1758 Shah Alam made an attack on Panna but Lord Clive advanced against him, so he left for Mukundpur in Rewa where the chief gave him asylum and his son Akbar II was born.

    In 1796 Bahadur Shah and an army of Marathas attacked Rewa but were defeated with the help of British Government. Britishers approached Baghelas for a treaty but chief Ajit Singh turned it down. In 1812, a group of Pindaris raided Mirzapur from Rewa when Jai Singh was its ruler. The chief was believed to have abetted the raid and was accordingly called upon to accede to a treaty with British Government in which he acknowledged the protection of the British Government to whose arbitration he agreed to refer all disputes with neighbouring chiefs and to allow British troops to march through his territory.

    Several reforms were introduced during the period of chief Jai Singh’s rule. Post office and courts were established. Then Visvanath Singh became the chief who established religious places like Laxmanbag and Raja Adhiraj temple. King Raghuraj Singh (1854-80) developed art and literary pursuits. In 1857 during the mutiny, Raghuraj Singh was the first chief who

  • xix

    offered his services to Colonel Hinde who could suppress the mutineers in 1857. In return, Raghuraj Singh was granted Sohagpur and Amarkantak region which had been seized by the Marathas. In 1863 he ceded land for East Indian railway line from Satna to Allahabad. In 1870 the separate Agency which had been abolished in 1862 was again re-established with the political agent residing at Satna. In 1860 Raghuraj Singh was awarded a G.C.S.I. (Grand Commander of the Star of India knight) and he received this order at the hands of Lord Canning at Kolkatta. He visited King Edward VIIth in 1876 at Delhi. During his reign Govindgarh town was formed and Govindgarh lake was constructed in the name of Vishvanath Sagar in 1855. During this period Rewa state developed manifold and many infrastructures of that time can be seen are Telegraph Office (1883), Government Hospital, Victoria Hospital (present G.S.H.1867), Darbar Press now called Central Press (1899), Archaeology Museum (Venkat Bhavan 1908) and Court and Hospital Building (1918). In 1890 a settlement survey named Roshanlal was done and tahsil Sirmaur was formed in 1910.

    On Venkat Raman Singh’s death his son Gulab Singh succeeded on 31st October 1922. He was a good ruler and known for good public governance. That is the reason why he was imprisoned from 1942 and released in 1949. After release from prison in 1949, he started living in Mumbai where he died on 17th August 1954. During his reign Vikray, Chakghat and Bichhya bridges were constructed in addition to Agriculture firm Kuthlia (1935), Lilji dam (1939) and the foundation of Darwar College was laid down.

    In between 1942 to 1946 the real governance of the Rewa state was under the control of a political agent “Uldij”. Later Maharaja Martand Singh the last Baghel chief was seated on the royal seat on 20 October 1947 and on the eve of independence of country, the royal power was abolished.

    After the independence, Yashwant Singh became acting Chief Minister; later on Sir Deshmukh came to Rewa on 20th October 1947 as Chief Minister on behalf of Govt. of India. Another gentleman Sir Gadgil came to Rewa again on behalf of Govt. of India, and on 4th April, 1948 he declared reorganization of Vindhya Pradesh adding 35 states including Rewa state.Captain Awdhesh Pratap Singh was nominated as Chief Minister from 30th May, 1948 to Ist January, 1950. Maharaja Martand Singh was seated as King Chief at Vindhya Pradesh. In 1949 when Awdhesh Pratap Singh stepped down from the post of Chief Minister, the Commissioner/Deputy Governor was appointed as the administrator of Vindhya Pradesh till the first general election.On 26th January 1950, Vindhya Pradesh was converted to Part-C state after Constitution of India was enforced. After the first general election, Pt. Shambhunath Shukla became first elected Chief Minister of Vindhya Pradesh State Assembly in 1952 having 60 members and Mr. K. Sandhanam became Deputy Governor.

    On the recommendations of state reorganization Commission, Mahakoshal and Madhyabharat states became part of Madhya Pradesh along with Vindhya Pradesh. Thus Rewa the capital of Baghel rulers and Vindhya Pradesh since 16th century became a district and divisional head quarters.

    I. PHYSICAL FEATURES:

    This district is situated on northeastern part of Madhya Pradesh and lying between 24o18’ and 25o12’ north latitudes and 81o02’ and 82o20’ east longitudes. The district is bounded on the north and east by Banda, Allahabad and Mirzapur districts of Uttar Pradesh, in the south with Sidhi district and in the west and south-west with Amarpatan and Raghurajnagar tahsils of Satna district. The district resembles in shape to an isosceles triangle with its base along the Satna border and the two longer hypotenuses covering towards Mauganj in east. As per Census 2001, it’s geographical area is 6287.5 Sq. km. (Reported by Surveyor General of India). It is the 25th largest district of M.P. in respect of area, which is 2.05% of the total area of 308,245 Sq.km. of M.P. State.

    Source: District Statistical Hand Book 2012

    The district can be divided into five natural parts - (1) Kymore ranges (2) Binjh ranges (3) The slopes of Binjh fall (4) Rewa Plateau and (5) Lower Northern plains of Teonthar. The Huzur, Sirmaur and Mauganj tahsils lie between the Kymore on the south and the Vindhyachal or Binjh Hills on the north and from what is known as Rewa Plateau or Uprihar. To the north of the Vindhyachal (length 25 km. width 3 to 7 km. and height 382 metres.) in the Uprihar lies Teonthar tahsil which is quite different with regards to its physical and other features from the plateau tahsils. Rewa is basically a plateau and its height decreases from the south to the north. In the south the height of Kymore range is more than 689.78 metres, whereas the height of Alluvial plain of Teonthar is just 100 metres. In the district, dissected hills, ravines, plain plateau, scarp, waterfalls and alluvial plain can be seen. The rainwater of the district is flown out by the two assisting rivers of the Ganga, Tons or Tamas and Son. Most of the rivers in the district originate from the Kymore ridges which form the watershed for the area. In Hanumana tahsil in the extreme east where a number of hills depart from the mountains of the plateau and in strip in the extreme south lying along the Kymore ridges about 8 to 20 km. to the east of Govindgarh, the Kymore ridges bifurcate into another lower ridges which more or less runs parallel to the Kymore. Mauganj tahsil also has various low hills ravines.

    RIVERS

    Tons or Tamas, Bihar (Ghoghra), Bichhia, Mahana, Belan, Odda and Gorma are the rivers of Rewa plateau or Uprihar. Most of the rivers in the district originate from the Kymore ridges which form natural reservoirs for the district and after travelling through the Rewa plateau join Tons river which enters north-western plateau of Sirmour tahsil from Satna district. The biggest water reservoir is Govind Sagar Lake near Kymore ridges spread over beautifully and is presently used for fishing by fishery department. During its course through the tahsil, Tons makes a fall near Purwa and after flowing for about 6 km through high levels it enters into the Teonthar tahsil where its bed is resinous.

    Bihar river that has its source in the Kymore hills and flows into Rewa town through ravenous course is an important tributary. Near Rewa town it joins the Bichhia (ya) river. Mahana river is a tributary of the Tons and falls below Keoty plateau from a height of 98 metres. It flows through a ravenous course in

  • 4

    Teonthar tahsil and joins the Tons. Further, in the east there is Odda river which rises from the northern branch of the Kymore and flows through ravinous course till it falls over the edge of plateau and joins the Naina river. The Odda is joined by the Salar in Mauganj tahsil and by the Nihai, Gorma a small river in the Hanumana tahsil.

    There are many watersheds or lakes known as Roni Talab in Teonthar tahsil, Golma Project Bansital, Rani Talab Umro and many other watersheds and ponds in the district.

    CLIMATE

    The climate of the district can be divided into four seasons. Winter season begins from November and goes up to the end of February. From March to June is the summer season. May is the hottest month of the year when sometimes mercury touches 45.70 C and the lowest temperature comes to as low as 10 C in the month of January. Southwest monsoon enters the district in the month of June and it remains till September. Average rainfall is 581.20 mm. Due to heavy rains, Belan river of Teonthar tahsil was under flood and huge loss has been recorded in the eastern parts of the tahsil in 1914. There was heavy rainfall from 31st August to 2nd September 1997 and fearsome flood badly affected whole district and caused heavy loss of public and wealth. There was an earthquake in 1997 in Jabalpur which was also felt in the district.

    II. CENSUS CONCEPTS

    BUILDING

    A ‘Building’ is generally a single structure on the ground. Usually a structure will have four walls and a roof. Sometimes it is made up of more than one component units which are used or likely to be used as dwellings (residences) or establishments such as shops, business houses, offices, factories, workshops, work sheds, Schools, places of entertainment, places of worship, godowns, stores etc. It is also possible that building which have component units may be used for a combination of purposes such as shop-cum-residence,workshop-cum-residence,office-cum-residence,etc.

    But in some areas the very nature of construction of houses is such that there may not be any wall. Such is the case of conical structures where entrance is also provided but they may not have any walls. Therefore, such of the conical structures are also treated as separate buildings.

    PUCCA HOUSES

    Houses, the walls and roof of which are made of permanent materials. The material of walls can be any one from the following, namely, stones (duly packed with lime or cement mortar), GI/metal/ asbestos sheets, burnt bricks, cement bricks, Concrete. Roof may be made of from any one of the following materials, namely, machine-made tiles, Cement tiles, burnt bricks, cement bricks, stones, slate, GI/metal/ asbestos sheets, concrete. Such houses are treated as Pucca House.

    KUTCHA HOUSES

    Houses in which both walls and roof are made of materials, which have to be replaced frequently. Walls may be made from any one of the following temporary materials, namely, grass, unburnt bricks, bamboos, mud, grass, reeds, thatch, plastic/ polythene, loosed packed stone, etc.. Such houses are treated as Kutcha House.

    DWELLING ROOM

    A room is treated as a dwelling room if it has walls with a doorway and a roof and should be wide and long enough for a person to sleep in, i.e. it should have a length of not less than 2 meters and a breadth of at least 1.5 meters and a height of 2 meters. A dwelling room would include living room, bedroom, dining room, drawing room, study room, servant’s room and other habitable rooms. Kitchen, bathroom, latrine, store room, passageway and verandah which are not normally usable for living are not considered as dwelling rooms. A room, used for multipurpose such as sleeping, sitting, dining, storing, cooking, etc., is regarded as a dwelling room. In a situation where a census houses is used as a shop or office., etc., and the household also stays in it then the room is not considered as a dwelling room. But if a garage or servant quarter is used by a servant and if she/ he also lives in it as a separate household then this has been considered as a dwelling room available to the servant’s household. Tent or conical shaped hut if used for living by any household is also considered as dwelling room.

  • 10

    A dwelling room, which is shared by more than one household, has not been counted for any of them. If two households have a dwelling room each but in addition also share a common dwelling room, then the common room has not been counted for either of the households.

    CENSUS HOUSE

    A ‘census house’ is a building or part of a building used or recognized as a separate unit because of having a separate main entrance from the road or common courtyard or staircase, etc. It may be occupied or vacant. It may be used for residential or non- residential purpose or both. If a building has a number of Flats or Blocks/Wings, which are independent of one another having separate entrances of their own from the road or a common staircase, or a common courtyard leading to a main gate, these are considered as a separate Census House.

    VILLAGE

    The basic unit for rural areas is the revenue village, which has definite surveyed boundaries. The revenue village may comprise of one or more hamlets but the entire village is treated as one unit for presentation of data. In unsurveyed areas, like villages within forest areas, each habitation area with locally recognized boundaries is treated as one village.

    RURAL-URBAN AREA

    The data in the Census are presented separately for rural and urban areas. The unit of classification in this regard is ‘town’ for urban areas and ‘village’ for rural areas. The Urban area comprises two types of towns viz; Statutory towns and Census towns. In the Census of India 2001, the definition of urban area adopted is as follows:

    a) STATUTORY TOWNS

    All places with a municipality, corporation, cantonment board or notified town area committee, etc are known as Statutory Towns.

    b) CENSUS TOWNS

    All other places satisfying the following three criteria simultaneously are treated as Census Towns.

    i) A minimum population of 5,000 ;

    ii) at least 75 per cent of male working population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits; and

    iii) a density of population of at least 400 per sq. km.(1,000 per sq.mile)

    For identification of places which would qualify to be classified as ‘urban’ all villages, which, as per the 2001 Census had a population of 4,000 and above, a population density of 400 persons per sq. km. and having at least 75 per cent of male working population engaged in non-agricultural activity were considered. To work out the proportion of male working population referred to above against b) (ii) the data relating to main workers were taken into account. In addition the

  • ANALYTICAL NOTE

    DISTRICTCENSUSHANDBOOK:REWA11

    above stated towns, urban areas also constitutes of OGs which are the parts of UAs.

    URBAN AGGLOMERATION :

    An Urban Agglomeration is a continuous urban spread constituting a town and its adjoining urban outgrowths (OGs) or two or more physically contiguous towns together with or without urban outgrowths of such towns. In some cases, railway colonies, university campuses, port areas, military camps etc; may come up near a statutory town outside its statutory limits but within the revenue limits of a village or villages contiguous to the town. Each such individual area by itself may not satisfy the minimum population limit to qualify it to be treated as an independent urban unit but may qualify to be clubbed with the existing town as their continuous urban spread( i.e. an Out Growth). Each such town together with its Out Growth(s) is treated as an integrated Urban area and is designated as an “Urban Agglomeration”. For the purpose of delineation of Urban Agglomerations during Census of India 2011, following criteria has been adopted :

    (a) The core town or at least one of the constituent towns of an urban agglo-meration should necessarily be a statutory town, and

    (b) The total population of an Urban Agglomeration (i.e.all the constituents put together) should not be less than 20,000 as per the 2001 Census. In varying local conditions there were similar other combinations which have been treated as Urban Agglomerations satisfying the basic condition of contiguity.

    OUT GROWTH (OG) :

    The outgrowth is a viable unit such as a village or a hamlet or an enumeration block and clearly identifiable in terms of its boundaries and location. While determining the outgrowth of a town, it has been ensured that it possesses the urban features in terms of infrastructure and amenities such as pucca roads, electricity, taps, drainage system for disposal of waste water etc, educational institutions, post offices, medical facilities, banks etc and physically contiguous with the core town of the UA.

    CITY :

    Towns with population of 100,000 and above are called cities.

    HOUSEHOLD :

    A ‘household’ is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from doing so. Persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of unrelated persons live in a census house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of a common household. Each such person was to be treated as a separate household. The important link in finding out whether it was a household or not was a common kitchen/common cooking. There may be one member households, two member households or multi-member households.

  • 12

    INSTITUTIONAL HOUSEHOLD

    A group of unrelated persons who live in an institution and take their meals from a common kitchen is called an Institutional Household. Examples of Institutional Households are boarding houses, messes, hostels, hotels, rescue homes, observation homes, beggars homes, jails, ashrams, old age homes, children homes, orphanages, etc. To make the definition more clearly perceptible to the enumerators at the Census 2011, it was specifically mentioned that this category or households would cover only those households where a group of unrelated persons live in an institution and share a common kitchen.

    HOUSELESS HOUSEHOLD

    Households who do not live in buildings or census houses but live in the open or roadside, pavements, in hume pipes, under fly-overs and staircases, or in the open in places of worship, mandaps, railway platforms, etc., are treated as Houseless Households.

    LANGUAGE AND MOTHER TONGUE :

    As per the census concept, each language is a group of mother tongues. The census questionnaire collects information on the mother tongue of each person. Mother tongue is the language spoken in childhood by the person’s mother to the person. If the mother died in infancy, the language mainly spoken in the person’s home in childhood will be the mother tongue. In the case of infants and deaf mutes, the language usually spoken by the mother is considered as mother tongue. It is not necessary that the language spoken as mother tongue should

  • 16

    have a script. The mother tongues returned by the respondents in census are classified and grouped under appropriate languages according to their linguistic characteristics.

    LITERATE :

    A person aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with understanding in any language is taken as literate. A person who can only read but cannot write is not literate. It is not necessary that to be considered as literate, a person should have received any formal education or passed any minimum educational standard. Literacy could have been achieved through adult literacy classes or through any non-formal educational system. People who are blind and can read in Braille are treated as literates.

    LITERACY RATE :

    Literacy rate of the population is defined as the percentage of literates in the age-group seven years and above. For different age-groups the percentage of literates in that age-group gives the literacy rate.
