3 1 1.1 BRIEF The provisional population of the state at hours of Ist March, 2011 was presented at state as well as district level together with other population indicators like population, growth rate, density, child population in 0-6 age group, gender composition and literacy status in Paper-I. Besides this, the population indicators of state were compared with the population indicators of the country and some other states. The behaviour of the indicators of the present census was also compared in the light of population indicators of the previous censuses. Now, in this publication, the population and related indicators are presented for rural and urban areas of the state and for each district and tahsil in the form of Paper-II. Again the data of this paper pertaining to Census 2011 is provisional in nature. It is important for the data users to familiarise themselves with the concepts and definitions for proper examination of the data contained in this publication. At the same time, it is all the more important to understand the implications of the terminologies being frequently used in Census 2011, for making meaningful comparisons of the similar data generated by various other agencies within the country and with the data produced by other countries in the world. The concepts and definitions adopted in Census 2011 are as given below. 1.2 RURAL AND URBAN FRAME The village in rural area and the ward in urban area are the basic units of census taking and the work of census in these units is carried out by carving enumeration blocks in such an orderly fashion that population figures are subsequently presented for each village and for each ward of the town Rural frame In rural area villages are classified into following types : 1. Revenue Village (together with its Majras/Tolas/Paras) 2. Forest Village 3. Un-inhabited Village 4. Other Village (formed as a consequence of new settlements under various projects, etc.) PROVISIONAL POPULATION TOTALS 1

Municipality 3. Nagar Panchayat 4. Cantonment Board 5. Census Town Of these, the first four are statutory towns, however Census Town is a census concept and is not a statutory town declared as such by any statute or order of the Government. However, in census parlance, Census Town is a village with - Minimum population of 5,000, - Density of at least 400 persons per sq.km. and where - At least 75 percent of the male main working population is engaged in non- agricultural activities. Thus urban area includes Census Towns together with the Statutory Towns, and this definition of urban area has been in vogue since Before that, and from 1891, definition of urban area was left to the discretion of the concerned State Census Superintendent who had the freedom to declare an area as urban within his jurisdiction. Statutory towns are notified under law by the concerned State/UT Government and have local bodies like municipal corporations, municipalities, municipal committees, etc., irrespective of their demographic characteristics as reckoned on 31st December Examples: Bhopal (M Corp.), Indore (M Corp.) etc. Census towns were identified on the basis of demographic criteria as mentioned above based on Census 2001 data. As per Census 2011 there are 476 towns in the state which is an increase of 82 towns since the last census of Status Municipal Corporation Municipality Nagar Panchayat Cantonment Board 5 5 Census Town Total Towns

An urban agglomeration must consist of atleast a statutory town and its total population (i.e. all the constituents put together) should not be less than 20,000 as per Census In varying local conditions, there were similar other combinations which have been treated as urban agglomerations satisfying the basic condition of contiguity. 4

7 1.2.5 Out Growths (OGs) An out growth (OG) is a viable unit such as a village or a hamlet or an enumeration block made up of such village or hamlet and clearly identifiable in terms of its boundaries and location. Some of the examples are railway colony, university campus, port area, military camps etc., which have come up near a statutory town outside its statutory limits but within the revenue limits of a village or villages contiguous to the town. 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. Examples: Sagar UA consists of Sagar (M. Corp.), Gaur Nagar (O.G.), Sagar Cantt (C.B.), Rajakhedi (C.T.), Makronia Buzurg (C.T.), Bhainsa (C.T.) and Kapuria (C.T.). Each such town together with its out growth(s) is treated as an integrated urban area and is designated as an urban agglomeration. In Census 2011, 86 Out Growths have been identified along with 37 Urban Agglomerations against the previously recorded 101 Out Growths and 42 Urban Agglomerations in Census The following table presents the status of statutory towns, census towns, urban agglomerations and out growths (OGs) during Census 2001 and Number of UAs/Towns and Out Growths (OGs): Sl.
