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.
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.
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. These newly added amenities are: Pre-Primary
School, Engineering College, Medical College, Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-formal Training
Centre, Special School for Disabled, Community Health Centre, Veterinary Hospital, Mobile Health

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.
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.
The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled and computerized under
the supervision of Shri S. Gopalakrishnan, IAS, Director of Census Operation, Tamil Nadu. The task of
Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant

HISTORY AND SCOPE OF THE DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK
The need of data at the grassroots level for

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

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 taluk/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

Irrigation
The economy of the district fully depends
on agriculture which play a predominant role for
income generation to the farmers. Suriliyar and Vaigai
are the two important rivers flows through this district,
irrigates larger areas for cultivation of different crops
in different seasons. They originate partly in the
district and partly in Kerala State. Vaigai river is not
a perennial river but flows brimful during monsoon
period.
Ground water is the major source of irrigation
for both gross areas and net area of sown in the
district. Myladumparai Block is completely depends
on groundwater sources for irrigation. Theni and
Uthamapalayam Blocks come next in groundwater
utilization. Periyakulam Block is largely supported
by tanks for irrigation.
A dam across Periyar Valley was constructed
1887-1898, named as Periyar Dam, which supplies
water to the net work of various canals, mostly for
irrigation purposes. In 1958, Vaigai reservoir was
constructed across Vaigai river, 8 kms below the
confluence of Suriliyar with Vaigai. In addition to
the above dam, a dam at Sothuparai which increases
area of irrigation appreciably in this district. The
Periyar System and Vaigai Dam fulfill adequate needs
of the farmers of this district. The water from Periyar
Dam and Vaigai Dam facilitates the irrigation facilities
of the farmers in the neighbouring districts before
they enter into Bay of Bengal.
Even though the catchments water spread and
the Periyar Dam is being located in the territory of
State of Kerala, the dam is being owned, maintained
and operated by Government of Tamil Nadu. The
water from the Periyar Dam is being diverted through
the water shed cutting and tunnels to Vairavanar river
and thence to Suruliyar and Vaigai rivers. Before
construction of fore-bay dam, all the waters were
hurled out from the mouth of the tunnel. After
constructing four bay dam, all the water drawn from
Periyar Dam and four bay dam has been let out into
Vairavanar river, which further irrigate larger area in
the district.

Panchayat President. Village Panchayat is a statutory
institution of local self-government. Village Panchayat
President along with Village Panchayat Ward
Members constitutes Gram Panchayat or Village
Panchayat. Panchayati Raj is a system of governance
in which Village Panchayats are the basic unit of
administration in the rural areas. Panchayati Raj has
3 tier system; Village Panchayat, Community
Development Block or Panchayat Union and District
Panchayat. Members under the Panchayati Raj are
elected by the people.
The history of Local Body or Panchayat Raj
in Tamil Nadu could be dated back to the ancient
period wherein the village administration was taken
care by a Village Assembly known as Sabai in every
village. Further, each village was divided into several
wards known as mandalams. This is evident from
the epigraph inscriptions found in Vaikuntha Perumal
Temple near Uthiramerur. They used the Pot-ticket
system of election (Kudavolai Murai) to elect the
representatives to the assembly.
In Tamil Nadu, 3 tier Panchayat Raj System
(Village Panchayat, Community Development
Block or Panchayat Union and District Panchayat)
has been working for the development of the people.
Developmental administration is the main objective
of these 3 tier system. It is responsible for the
10
implementation of various centrally sponsored, state-
funded, and externally aided schemes for provision
of basic amenities and other services to the people.
Elections are held to elect the representatives for
these 3 tier institutions. Ministry of Municipal
Administration and Rural Development, Government
of Tamil Nadu is the State Government governing
body for these institutions.
Three tier Panchayat Raj System is generally
referred to as Local Body for both Urban and Rural
areas. The urban local bodies act as platform between
the people in the urban areas and the administration.
Depending on the population and income of the urban
areas, there are 3 levels of Local Body institutions in
Tamil Nadu; Municipal Corporations, Municipalities
and Town Panchayats. The Rural Local Body
includes Village Panchayats, Panchayat Unions (co-
terminus with Blocks) and District Panchayats.
For the Urban Local Body, the elected head
of the institutions are Corporation Mayor, Municipality/
Town Panchayat Chairperson and Corporation/
Municipality/Town Panchayat Councillor. For the
Rural Local Body the elected members are Village
Panchayat President, District Panchayat Ward
Member, Panchayat Union Ward Member and Village
Panchayat Ward Member.
The main source of income of the gram
panchayat is the property tax levied on buildings and
open spaces within the village. Other sources of
income include professional tax, taxes on pilgrimage,
animal trade, grant received from the State
Government in proportion of land revenue and the
grants received from the government.
Major functions of Gram or Village Panchayat
in Tamil Nadu include:
· Drinking water supply
· Construction of public roads, drains, small
irrigation projects
· Maintaining sanitation and public health
· Lighting on roads and public places
· Controlling and maintaining village cremation
ground and/or cemetery

verandah which are not normally usable for living are municipality, corporation, cantonment board

12

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 above stated towns, urban
areas also constitutes of OGs which are the parts of
UAs.
Urban Agglomeration (UA): 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
outgrowth(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:
13
ANALYTICAL NOTE
(a) The core town or at least one of the constituent
towns of an urban agglomer ation 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
is 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.
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

DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK 2011: THENI
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.
Educational level: The highest level of education a
person has completed.
Work: Work is defined as participation in any
economically productive activity with or without
compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may
be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves

part time help or unpaid work on farm, family
enterprise or in any other economic activity. All
persons engaged in ‘work’ as defined above are
workers. The main point to note is that the activity
should be economically productive. Reference period
for determining a person as worker and non-worker
is one year preceding the date of enumeration.
Main worker: A person who has worked for major
part of the reference period (i.e. six months or more

involves ploughing, sowing, harvesting and production
of cereals and millet crops such as wheat, paddy,
jowar, bajra, ragi, etc., and other crops such as
sugarcane, tobacco, ground-nuts, tapioca, etc., and
pulses, raw jute and kindred fiber crop, cotton,
cinchona and other medicinal plants, fruit growing,
vegetable growing or keeping orchards or groves, etc.
Cultivation does not include the plantation crops like–
tea, coffee, rubber, coconut and betel nuts (areca).
The workers engaged in Plantation crops are recorded
under “other workers”.
Agricultural labourer: A person who works on
another person’s land for wages in cash or kind or

which she/he works.
Household industry worker: Household industry
is defined as an industry conducted by one or more
members of the household at home or within the
village in rural areas and only within the precincts of
the house where the household lives in urban areas.

in trade, commerce, business, transport, banking,

mining, construction, political or social work, priests,
entertainment artists, etc. In fact, all those workers
other than cultivators or agricultural labourers or
household industry workers are ‘Other Workers’.
Work participation rate: Percentage of Workers
(Main + Marginal) to total population.
Population density: Population density is the number
of persons inhabited per square kilometer of the area.

(iii) Non-Census Concepts
Concepts used in Village and Town Directories
of DCHB
1. Educational Amenities:-The type of different
educational facilities available in the village is given
in numbers. Both Government and private educational
facilities / institutions are considered for this-purpose.
If there are composite schools like Middle schools
with Primary classes, or Secondary schools with
middle classes, these are included in the number of
Primary and Middle schools respectively. For example,
if in a village there are two Primary schools and one
Middle school with primary classes, the number of
Primary schools in the village are given as three and
that of Middle school as one even though there may
be only three educational institutions. So also in case
of Secondary schools. For better understanding, the
distinctiveness of different types of schools is depicted
hereunder:
1.1 Pre-primary (PP): Now-a-days, the children are
sent to schools at a very early stage. Lot of pre-
primary schools, private schools in particular, have
come up in villages and towns. These may or may
not be recognized by the competent authorities. Even
many Secondary schools have classes starting from
preprimary level. Pre-primary classes include Nursery,
K.G., Pre-basic, Play school, etc.
1.2 Primary School (P): Schools providing education
from Standard 1 and upward up to and inclusive of
Standard V are classified as Primary Schools.
17
ANALYTICAL NOTE
1.3 Middle School (M): Schools providing education
from Standard VI and upward up to and inclusive of
Standard VIII are classified as Middle Schools. A
School with Class 1 to VIII is treated as two units,
i.e. one Primary School and one Middle School.
1.4 Secondary School (S): Schools providing
education from Standard IX and upwards up to and
inclusive of Standard X are classified as Secondary
Schools. A composite school with 1 to X standard is
treated as three separate units and counted separately
under the categories of Primary School, Middle School
and Secondary School.
1.5 Senior Secondary School (SS): Schools and
colleges that provide education for Standards XI and
XII and first and second year of the Pre-University
Course fall under this category. There are Senior
Secondary Schools with Standard I and upwards up
to Standard XII.
1.6. Degree College:
(i) Arts/Science/Commerce: These are all
educational institutions that provide post-PUC
level education leading to University degree/
diploma in any subject or combination of
subjects and also post-graduate levels of
education. The college offering courses in Arts,
Science or Commerce either separately or in
combination are covered under this category.
(ii) Engineering College (E): It is a graduate/
post-graduate degree college providing Bachelor
of Engineering (BE) or Bachelor of Technology
(B. Tech.) or post-graduate engineering degrees
like M.Tech.
(iii) Medical Colleges: These are graduate/ post-
graduate degree colleges providing MBBS or
equivalent degree in alternative medicine like
Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy etc. or post-
graduate medical degrees like M.D or
equivalent in the above branches of medicine.
1.7. Management College/ Institute (MI): It
offers courses like Diploma in Management, Post-
Graduate Diploma in Management, Masters of
Business Administration (MBA) and specializations
in different disciplines of Management like Marketing,
Human Resources Development (HRD) etc.
DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK 2011: THENI
1.8. Polytechnic (Pt): An Institution providing
certificate/diploma (not equivalent to degree) in any
technical subject like engineering, vocational courses
like embroidery, fashion designing etc. It may be both
Government and Private.
1.9. Vocational School/ITI: It is a vocational training
institute imparting trainings in specific fields acquiring
necessary skill, which will make the trainees
employable or create them opportunities of self-
employment. Trainings offered by Industrial Training
Institutes (ITI) fall under this category.
1.10. Non-formal Education/Training Centre
(NFTC): Non-vocational education centers,
established by the Central and State Governments
provide educational facilities to the interested persons
irrespective of educational qualification, and age.
These education centers are open to all.
1.11. Special School for Disabled: There are
Government and Government recognized institutions/
organizations engaged for providing education to
different groups of disabled persons.
2. Medical Facilities:
2.1 Hospital-Allopathic and Hospital-Alternative
medicine: A hospital is an Institution, where sick or
injured are given medical or surgical care. Bed
strength differs from hospital to hospital ranging from
31 to 500 depending upon whether these are sub-
district, sub-divisional or district hospitals. If there is
hospitals providing facilities under different systems
of medicines such as, Allopathy, Ayurveda, Unani and
Homeopathy etc., these details are given separately.
(a) Allopathy: The system of medical practice,
which treats disease by the use of remedies
which produce effects different from those
produced by the disease under treatment.
(b) Ayurveda: Ayurveda means ‘Science of life’.
The philosophy of Ayurveda is based on the
theory of Pancha Mahabhootas (Five elements)
of which all the objects and living bodies are
composed of. The combination of these five
elements are represented in the form of Tridosha:
Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These three ‘doshas’ are
physiological entities of living beings. Ayurveda
18
developed into eight distinct specialities, i.e.,
Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Eye and
ENT, Surgery, Toxicology, Geriatrics and Science
of virility. Two types of treatments, Preventive
and Curative, are given in Ayurveda.
(c) Unani: Treatment of Unani consists of three
components, namely, preventive, promotive and
curative. Unani system of medicine has been
found to be efficacious in conditions like
Rheumatic Artharitis. Jaundice, Filarisis,
Eczema,Sinusitis and Bronchial Asthma. For the
prevention of the disease and promotion of
health, the Unani System emphasizes six
essentials: pure air, food and water, physical
movement and rest, psychic movement and rest,
sleep and wakefulness and retention of useful
materials and evacuation of waste materials from
the body.
(d) Homeopathy: Treatment in Homeo-pathy,
which is holistic in nature, focuses on an
individual’s response to a specific environment.

(iv) Census 2011 Findings
Census taking is a massive operation carried
out in a short span of time with the active participation
of a veritable army of enumerators. The reference
moment for the 2011 Census was 00.00 hours of
01.03.2011 i.e., the census provides a snapshot of the
population of the country, as it existed at 00.00 hours
of 01.03.2011. Actual enumeration was spread over a
period of 20 days from 9th to 28th February, 2011
followed by revisional round up to 5th March, 2011 for
up dating of the population with reference to 00.00
hours of 01.03.2011. Household schedule was
canvassed by the enumerator and with a view to
ensuring uniformity in approach in understanding the
various concepts and in proper eliciting and recording
of the information, the enumerators and supervisors
were imparted both theoretical as well as practical
training intensively in 3 rounds.
As a prelude to the actual census the urban
and rural areas were identified and listed out in respect
of each administrative unit. The Directorate of Census
Operations had prepared the list of urban areas and
simultaneously, a list of villages. These lists formed
the basic frame for the organization of the census
operations. Thereafter, geographical areas that could
be conveniently covered by each enumerator were
carefully carved out to constitute the enumeration block
(EB).
The first major step was the houselisting
operation carried out in this district during June, 2010.
Thereafter, in order to adhere to the prescribed
workload norms the actual census EBs were carefully
demarcated on the basis of the house list population,
layout sketches and notional maps prepared for the
houselisting operation. Houselisting operation was
conducted to collect wealth of information on items
such as predominant material used for construction of
houses, amenities available to the census households,
number of living rooms.
The second major step was the house listing
operation, which was carried out in this district during
April 2000. Thereafter, in order to adhere to the
prescribed workload norms the actual census
enumerator’s blocks were carefully demarcated on the
basis of the house list population and the layout sketches
and notional maps prepared for the houselisting
operation. Houselisting operation was also utilized to
collect wealth of information on items such as
predominant material used for construction of houses,
amenities available to the census households, number
of living rooms etc.

Agasthyamalai
Suruli hills is the part of the Pothigai Malai.
Pothigai hills is a highly divine and spiritual center.
There is a story that when Shiva and Parvati entered
into divine matrimony at Mount Kailash in the north,
the place was
unbalanced because of
the large number of
holy beings witnessing
the wedding. Lord
Shiva asked Agastya
Maharishi to proceed
to the South of India to balance the world. Agastya
Maharishi then proceeded to Pothigai hills and
balanced the world. Agastya Maharishi was able to
visualise the wedding of Lord Shiva and Parvati on
a Shivalingam that was at Tiru Kalyana Teertham at
Pothigai hills. These hills are visited by several saints
and sages from Himalayas particularly on a full moon
day. The striking similarity between the profiles of
Mt. Kailash and Agasthyamalai strengthen the
mythological connections of these sacred peaks.
Silver mount
Silver Mountain(vellimalai, 1,650 m) area is a
heart of Meghamalai. Silver-lined clouds seem to rest
gently on green hilltops and nestled somewhere in this
