INTENSIVE AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME IN WEST GODAVARI DISTRICT

West Godavari District irrigated by the waters of river Godavari is one of the most progressive districts for agriculture and other agro~based industries and trade. More than three fourths of the total cropped area is under assured irrigation. The cultivators in this district are by and large fertiliser minded and educated for preventing pests and disease attacks of crops both by cultural and chemical methods. The farmers in this district have long experience in improved methods of cultivation and produce sizeable marketable surplus every year. It is, for these reasons that the Intensive Agricultural Divtrict programme known as the Package Programme was started first in West Godavari District in 1960 aiming at further increasing the production offood and important commercial crops.

West Godavari District ranks first among the rice growing districts in the State, both in regard to area under crop and in respect of production. The area under rice in 1970-71 in this district is 384,367 hectares constituting 70.5% of the total cropped area in the district and 10.9% of the total area under the crop in Andhra Pradesh State. The annual outturn of rice in this district is 659,078 tonnes which forms 13.8% of the total outturn in the State. The average yield per hectare in the district is 1,715 Kgs. as against 1,359 Kgs. in the State. It is also reported that in the recent times one of the cultivators in West Godavari District could produce 6,916 Kgs. of rice of an high yielding variety per hectare. About 73% of the total workers or 2910 of total population in the district are engaged in agriculture.

PREFACE

The District Census Handbooks which were first published at the 1951 Census proved to be very useful to the State and Central Government Departments, private agencies and academic bodies like Universities and Research Institutions. The scope: of theses Handbooks was enlarged to make them more useful during the 1961 Census. Considering the delay in the publication of these Handbooks due to difficulties in finding suitable presses which could undertake huge printing work of this kind, it was considered desirable to split up the 1971 Census Handbooks into three parts viz., Part A - Village and Town DIrectory, Part B - Village and Town Primary Census Abstract and Part C - Analytical Report, Departmental Statistics and District Census Tables. This was done mainly with a view to publishing Parts A and B which contain not only the popUlation data upto the village and town level but also the particulars about the basic amenities etc., available in the towns and villages. as early as possible for public use. The scope and contents of these three parts are elaborated in the introduction of this volume. I am glad to record here that Parts A and B cf the 1971 Census Handbooks of all the 21 Districts in the State have been finalised alredy·and I expect that before the end of 1973 Parts A and B for all the 21 Districts would have been published.

The compilation of these Handbooks is being done from -the 1951 Census in the Office of the Director of Census Operations while the cost of paper, printing, etc., required for these volumes is being borne by the State Government. The Andhra Pradesh State Government have readily agreed to bear the cost of printing and paper for the 1971 Census Handbooks. I am grateful to the Andhra Pradesh State Government and in particular to the Additional Chief Secretary to the Government of Andhra Pradesh, Shri S. A. Quader, lAS., for their co-operation and encouragement. I am thankful to the Director of Printing, Government of Andhra Pradesh for assisting me by selecting suitable presses for undertaking the printing of the Handbooks. The data presented in the Village and Town Directories are obtained from different State Government and Central Government Departments but for' whose co-operation Part - A of the Handbooks could not have been compiled. I am thankful to all of them for furnishing me the required data.

I am extremely grateful to Shri A. Chandra Sekhar, lAS., Registrar General, India and Dr. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrar General, India who formulated the contents of these Handbooks in detail and rendered spontaneous help and encouragement to me at all stages.

The following staff of my Office worked on the present volume of West Godavari District Census Handbook under the guidance and supervision of Shri P. S. R. Avadhany, Deputy Director of Census Operations, and Sri K. Narasimha Murthy, Assistant Director of Census Operations of my Office.

GENERAL BACKGROUND OF THE DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK

I District Manuals and District Gazetteers

Prior to 1905, the erstwhile composite Madras Government compiled and published a District Manual for each district. It contained not only particulars of items of more or less a permanent character such as physical characteristics, history, religion and ethnography but also a few statistical tables including those relating to population which became obsolete within a few years of their publication. The Madras Government, therefore, replaced these District Manu~ als by another publication known as the District Gazetteer consisting of two Volumes 'A' and 'B'. VoJume A contained descriptive matter and such gerieral tables as might be necessary to explain the text and Volume B contained detailed statistics. They decided that Volume B should be brought out periodically after each decennial census so that they contain the latest statistics. Volume A was pub-lished for some districts between 1905 and 1927 in the composite Madras State. The publication of Volume A was discontinued in 1927. Volume B was pub-lished for all the districts of the composite Madras State between 1906 and 1915. The publication of Volume B was also stopped after 1931 Census. Due to the II World War, the District Gazetteers were not published after the 1941 Census.

In the erstwhile Hyderabad State also the Gazet-teer Volumes were brought out for some of the districts.

The scheme of publication of revised District Gazetteers was started in 1958 by the State Govern~ ments and in this Stale, the Gazetteers of some districts like Cuddapah and Anantapur have been published already.

The Village Statements

Apart from these District Manuals and Gazet~ teers, the census data upto village level used to be published in a brochure called "Village Statement" for each district immediately after every census from 1872 upto 1941.

The Village Statements merely showed the number of occupied houses and popUlation by religion of each village and town and they did not contain any more details. From the 1951 Census, Village State-

• ments were replaced by the District Census H~ndbooks.

District Census Handbooks

The idea of compiling the District Census Hand~ books for each district in place of Village Statements was first entertained and put forward at the 1951 Census by Sri R. A. Gopalaswamy, I.C.S., the then Registrar General, India and ex-officio Census Commissioner of India as part of a plan intended to secure an effective method of preserving the census records prepared for areas below the district level. He proposed that all the District Census Tables and Census Abstracts prepared during the process of sorting and compilation, should be bound together~in a single manuscript volume called the "District Census Handbook" and suggested to the State Governments that the Handbook with or without the addition of other useful information relating to the district should be printed and published at their own cost, in the same manner as the village statistics of the past censuses. This suggestion was accepted by most of the State Governments. Both the composite Madras State and the erstwhile Hyderabad State accepted this suggestion and published the District Census Handbooks for all districts at their own cost. In the erstwhile Hyderabad State, the District Census Handbooks were brought out in two parts, Part I containing Administrative Statistics and Part II the Census Tables. In the composite Madras State, the Handbooks were brought out in one single volume only for each district.

Pattern at 1961 Census

At the 1961 Census, the scope of the District Census Handbooks was significantly enlarged by~Sri Ashok Mitra, I.C.S., the then Registrar General. India. The District Census Handbooks of 1961 Census of Andhra Pradesh were divided into four parts. The first part contained narrative description of the Physical features, History, Social, Economic and Demographic characteristics, the progress made in each field of administration over the past decades and a brief gazetteer of places. The second part contained the Administrative Statistics of various departments. The third part contained the 1961 Census Tables viz., General Population Tables, Economic Tables, Cultural and Migration Tables, Special Tables on Scheduled Castes an,d Scheduled

Tribes. The fourth part consisted of Village and Towll. Directory which was the most vital part of the Handbook, giving villagewise and townwise Primary Census Abs'tract i.e., particulars of area, households, population, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, literates, broad categorisation of working population etc. Important amenities such as educational, medical, public health and communication facilities available were also indicated against each village and town. Nine Sub-Tables containing viJIagewise parti-culars such as irrigation sources, important crops raised, value of land, co-operative societies, indus-trial establishments, police. stations, list of skilled craftsmen etc .. , were given after Village and Town Directory. A tabular' statement on Fairs and Festi-vals ,in the district was given at the end of the volume. All these four parts were bound in a single volume and published at the cost of the State Govern-ment.

Pattern at 1971 Census

The District Census Handbooks proved to be very useful and valuable publications and had consi-derable demand by public as well as the official users of the census data. At the 1971 Census, it was there-fore, decided not only to continue the publication of the District Census Handbooks but also to enlarge its scope further.

At the last Census, there was some delay in the publication of the District Census Handbooks due to the inadequate printing facilities. In order to avoid delay in pUblication and also to make available the more important census data to the planners, admi-nistrators, and other users who may be not only e?ger but in dire necessity to use the information in their respective spheres, it has been decided to bring out the District Census Handbooks in three parts viz., Part A, Part B and Part C. Part A contains Village ':lnd Town Directory. Part B contains Village and Town Primary Census Abstract. Part C contains Administrative Statistics and Analytical Report. Parts A and B of the District Census Handbooks of this State are being brought out in one volume and Part C will be brought out in a separate volume for each district a little later.

A brief outline on the scope of each of these tl).ree Parts is given below.

Part A: V iJlage and Town Directory

In this part, the Village Directory is given first and then the Town Directory.

2

Vii/age Directory.' It is arranged talukwise and gives for each village, particulars of amenities available in respect of educational and medical insti-tutions, power and drinking water supply, postal and telegraphic facilities, communications, particulars of land use, markets, places of religious, historical or archaeological interest in the village.

Town D;rectory: The Town Directory portion contains data in Seven sta tements. Particulars like the civic administration status, its origin, the growth and decline of its popUlation, functional category, physical aspects and location, municipal finances, civic and other ameni ties, medical, educational, recreational and cultural facilities, trade, industry, commerce and banking facilities and lastly the reli-gious composition of the town and the Scheduled Castes/Tribes population inhabiting are presented in seven statements. They are given for each town in the district arranged in alphabetical order .•

Part B: Primary Census Abstract

This part gives for each revenue village and also for cach enumerator's block and ward of a town, the Primary Census data i.e., area, occupied residential houses, number of households, total population and its break up by sex, Schduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes population, literate population, working population by nine broad categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers, those working in livestock, forestry, fishing, plantations, etc., in mining and quar~ rying, in manufacturing, in construction, in trade and commerce, in transport, storage and communications and in other services and the non-working population as per the 1971 Census.

Part C: Administrative Statistics and Report

This part comprises the various administrative statistics pertaining to the district with special refe-rence to the development taken place during 1961-70 in different spheres and also the 1971 Census Tables relating to the General Popula tion, Economic Charact-eristic, Cultural and Migration features, Housing and Establishment tables and data pertaining to the district regarding language and religion. A write up, indicating the changes in the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the district and the developmental activities that have taken place in the decade in the various fields like Agriculture, Indus~ tries, Trade and Commerce, Education, Medical and Public Health, Community Development, etc., is given at the beginning of this part. In view of the •

elaborate write up already given in the 1961 District Census Handbooks, the present write up will be brief and it will cover the present decade only.

Rural and Urban Classification of areas

It is customary to classify the population of every country at a census as Rural and Urban. Such a classification has considerable significance and is necessary from the point of assessing the differentials in the social, economic, cultural and demographic characteristics of the population. Hence at the be~ ginning of each census, the criteria for treating a place as town (i.e., urban) or rural are evolved and the ~ reas are then classified accordingly as per the definition so evolved.

From the year 1891, the census definition of a town in this country was more or less the same till 1941 and it was slightly modified in 1951. The towns broadly comprised all Municipalities of what-ever population and every other continuous collection of houses, permanently inhabited by not less than 5,000 persons, which the provincial Directors of Cens~ Operations having regard to the character and relative density of population, their importance as centres of trade decided them to be towns. In the application of this definitiop. there was some variation from State to State according to the local conditions. It w~s. only at the 1961 Census that a fairly strict defillltlOn was sought to be applied throughout the co~ntry in order to determine a place as an urban umt. The same definition was followed at the 1971 Census also. The fonowing criteria are adopted for treating a place as a town at the 1971 Census.

1 All places with a Municipality, Corporation or Cantonment or Notified Town Areas, and

. 2. All other places which satisfied the following cntena:

(a) a minimum population of 5,000

(b) a density of population of at least 1,000 per-sons per Sq. mile (400 persons per Sq.Km.) and

(c) at least three fourths (75: ) of the male work-ing population is non-agricultural.

In respect of marginal cases, the Directors of Census Operations of the States were given discretion to decide a place as town or village.

The Towns are distributed into six classes as detailed below:-

Below 5,000

The Class I Towns are termed as Cities.

Besides classification of all places into Rural and Urban areas, two new concepts viz., Urban Agglomera-tion and Standard Urban Area were newly evolved at the 1971 Census. They are briefly explained below.

Urban Agglomeration

In several areas around a core city or statutory town have come up fairly large and well recognised Railway Colonies, University Campuses, Port areas, Military Camps, etc. Even though they are outside the statutory limits of a Corporation, Municipality or Cantonment, they fall within the revenue boundary of the place by which the town itself is known or in the revenue boundary of the neighbouring village. It may not be altogether realistic to treat such area" lying outside the statutory limits of a town as rural units and at the same time each such individual area by itself may not satisfy the minimum population limits to qualify to be irea ted as an independent town. Such areas deserve to be reckoned along with the main town and the continuous spread including such urban outgrowth would deserve to be treated as an integrated urban area. At the 1971 Census such continuous urban spreads have been treated as inte~ gra ted urban areas and defined as Urban Agglomer-ations. This concept of Urban Agglomerc tion replaced the concept of Town-group followed in the 1961 Census. Urb8n Agglomerations can be constituted in the following situations:

(aJ A city with continuous outgrowth (the part of outgrowth being out of the statutory limits but falling within the boundaries of the adjoining village or villages).

(b) One town with similar outgrowth or two or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths as in (a) and

(c) A city and one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths all of which forming a continuolls spread.

Thus the Urban Agglomeration represents wholly the urban population only. In Andhra Pradesh, the following four places are treated as Urban Agglomer~ at ions.

( f) Balanagar (g) Fatehnagar (h) Machabolaram (i) Osmania University (j) LaJaguda (k) Kukatpalle (I) Moosapet

(m) Bowenpalle (n) Zamistanpur

The Standard Urban Area (S. U. A)

The concept of the Standard Urban Area has been evolved for the first time at the 1971 Census to give out a more meaningful picture of the urban growth. The town-group concept adopted at the 1961 Census did not effectively tackle the problems invol-ved in reporting urban statistics apart from lacking a uniform application throughout the country. It also did not bring out a spatially contiguous territory ~f urban-rural settlements but merely bound up loosely clustered population popularly known as the satellite towns or the constitutent units whose jurisdictions were subjected to frequent changes and thus lacked in stability. The intervening rural areas were also left out of the account. Consequently the

4

conclusions drawn became not only invalid over a time but also lost spatial comparability with similar data processed both within the country and outside. These short-comings reduced considerably the utility of the town-group concept which was also found somewhat inadequate for the purpose it was developed. To enable the presentation of urban statistics on a uniform basis and also to ensure comparability of the census data from one decade to another and with similar data available from other countries, the concept of Standard Urban Area has been envisaged and adopted at the 1971·Census.

The Standard Urban Area is defined as the projected growth area of a city or town as it would be in another three decades taking into' account not only the towns and villages which will get merged into it but also the intervening areas which are potentially urban. The tract includes all extra Municipal urban outgrowth such as the suburbs (industrial and residential), Railway Colonies, Civil Lines, Cantonments and also such of those villages that are likely to be urbanised during the next three decades. The Standard Urban Area is thus an area which extends well beyond the chief core city or town and contains all likely developments over the next 30 years. It will remain a statistical reporting unit for the nex t three successive censuses, irrespective of the jurisdictional changes of the local administrative units wi thin the tract. The Standard Urban Area will be identified by the administrative units that it encompasses namely the ci ty, the town, the village. The boundaries of the Standard Urban Area will be the administrative boundaries of the peripheral units.

In demarcating the Standard Urban Area the following criteria are followed:

(i) The core town should have a minimum population of 50,000,

(ii) The contiguous areas should be made up of other urban as well as rural administrative units having close and mutual socio-economic links with the core town and

(iii) The entire area included in the Standard Urban Area is likely to be urbanised in span of two to three decades.

In West Godavari District, Eluru and Bheema-varam Towns with their surround'ing villages are treated as Standard Urban Areas.

PAR T-A VILLAGE AND TOWN DIRECTORY

SECTION I - Village Directory

SECTION II - Town Directory

SECTION I

VILLAGE DIRECTORY

The main purpose of the Village Directory is to indicate the available important facilities like educa~ tional, medical, drinking water supply, communica~ tions and electricity supply in each vil1age. The collec-tion and presentation of such data was first attemted at the 1961 Census and the different facilities available were shown by abbreviated letters under five columns along with the Primary Census Abstract. But at the 1971 Census it was decided to present such particulars in greater detail in the Village Directory and to give the Primary Census Abstract separately. Besides presenting the data on basic amenities like, edu~ cational, medical, electricity, drinking water supply, communications, posts and telegraphs, the particulars about the staple food commonly used by the majority of" the people, land utilisation, the name and distance of the nearest town, the market/shandy days, historical or religious or archaeological or tourist importance, if any, of th.e villages have also been collected and pre-sented in the Village Directory. The Villagewise Primary Census Abstract is presented separately in Part B of this Volume.

In the Village Directory, the revenue village is taken as the lowest unit for presentation of data. The villages are arranged in the ascending order of Loca-tion Code Numbers assigned to the villages. Unlike the Town Directory, the Village Directory contains only one statement. An Alphabetical List of Villages with Location Code Numbers against them is given at the beginning of the Village Directory and Primary Cen-sus Abstract of each taluk. This facilitates the reader to select the required village crom Alphabetical List and after knowing its Location Code Number, to obtain the necessary particulars from the Village Directory. The Village Directory is broadly divided into four broad sections viz., location particulars, basic amenities like educational, medical etc., land utilisation and distance from urban area and the importance of the village as a religious Of tourist centre.

Columns 1 to 3 deal with the location code number, name and the total area of the village. The area given under column 3 is as per the data furni-shed by the Tahsildar and the State Survey Department. Coiumns 4 (0 9 give the basic amenities available in

the village such as the educational, medical, electri-city, drinking water, communications, and postal facilities.

The educational facilities are shown by the follow-ing symbols under column 4.

P : Primary or Elementary School M: Middle School H High School or Higher Secondary

School C College T Technical Institution

If there are more institutions than one of a type in the village, the number of institutions precedes the abbreviations e.g., 3P, 2M, 3H, etc.

Medical and Public Hedlth facilities existing in the village are shown by the following symbols under column 5.

The extent of area irrigated together with area irrigated un.der different irrigational sources such as canals, tanks, wells, tube wells etc., are given, wherever available under column 12 while under column 13 the extent of land unirrigated is given. Column 14 gives the extent of cultivable waste. The area not available for cultivation such as village site, rivers, canals, tanks, 'wells etc., is given. under column 15.

The various types of land use given under each of the columns 11 to 15 are listed out and the concepts explained below.

6

1 Forests (Col. 11)

2 Cultivated area with break up irrigated & unirrigated (Cols. 12, 13).

These include all actually forested areas and the lands classed or administered as forests under any legal enactment dealing with forests whether State owned or private. If any portion of such land is not actually wooded but put to some agricultural use, that portion is included under the appropriate heading of cultivated or uncultivated land.

This includes the land under the following three categories.

(i) Net Area sown:

The net area sown represents the area sown to crops counting areas sown more than once in the same year, only once.

(ii) Current fallows:

3 Culturable waste (Col. 14)

This class comprises cropped areas which are kept fallow during the current year. If any seedling area is not cropped again in the same year, it is also treated as current fallow.

(iii) Other fallows:

This includes all lands which were taken up; for cultivation but are temporarily out of cultivation for a period of not less than one year and not more than five years. The reasons for keeping such lands fallow may be either due to poverty of the cultivators or inade· quate supply of water or malarial climate or silting of canals or ri-vers or unremunerated nature of farming etc. .

This includes the land under the following three categories.

(i) Miscellaneous tree crops. Groves not included in the area sown:

Under this class is included all cultivable land which is not inclu-ded under net area sown but is put to some agricultural use. Lands under casuarina trees, thatching grass, bamboo bushes and other groves for fuel etc., which are not included under "Orchards" are' classed under this category.

(Ii) Culturable waste:

This includes lands available for cultivation but not taken up for cultivation or abandoned after a few years for one reason or other. Such lands may be either fallow or covered with shrubs and jungles which are not put to any use. They may be assessed or not as-sessed and may lie in isolated blocks or within cultivated hol-dings. Land once cultivated but not cultivated for five years in succession is also included in this category.

(iii) Permanent pastures and other gra-zing lands:

These cover all grazing lands whe-ther they are permanent pastures and meadows or not. Village common and grazing lands within forest areas are included under this head.

4 Area not available This includes the land under the for cultivation (Col. following two categories. 15)

(i) Barren and uncultivable land:

This covers all barren and unculti-vable land like mountains, etc., i.e., which cannot be brought under cultivation unless at a high cost whether such land is in iso-lated blocks or within cultivated holdings.

(ii) Land put to non-agricultural uses:

All lands occupied by buildings, roads and railways or under water e.g., rivers and canals and other lands put to uses other than agri-cultural.

Under column 16 the distance of the village from the nearest town in Kms. is given. The days on which weekly markets/shandies, if any, held in the village are given under column 17. If the village has any historical/religious/archaeological and tourist importance, it has been indicated under column 18.

All the above particulars are based on the data obtained from the Tahsildars and local bodies concer-ned and also from the concerned departments like POiital, Medical, Education, Electricity etc.
