FOREWORD

The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of the CensusOrganization 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, 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 1991Census 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 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 byincluding some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodities 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 byincluding 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 Clinic, Medical Practitioner with MBBS Degree, Medical Practitioner with no degree, Traditional Practitioner and faith Healer, Medicine Shop, Community Toilet, Rural Sanitary Mart or Sanitary Hardware Outlet in the Village, Community Bio- gas, Sub Post Office, Village Pin Code, Public Call Office, Mobile Phone Coverage, Internet Cafes/ Common Service Centre, Private Courier Facility, Auto/Modified Autos, Taxis and Vans, Tractors, Cycle-pulled Rickshaws, Carts driven by Animals, Village connected to National Highway, State Highway, Major District Road, and Other District Road, Availability of Water Bounded Macadam Roads in Village, ATM, Self-Help Group, Public Distribution System(PDS) Shop, Mandis/Regular Market, Weekly Haat, Agricultural Marketing Society, Nutritional Centers (ICDS), Anganwadi Centre, ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist), Sports Field, Public Library, Public Reading Room, Assembly Polling station, Birth & Death Registration Office.

PREFACE District Census Handbook is a unique publication brought out un-

interruptedly by the Census Organization since 1951 Census. The publication is widely used by Administrators, Planners, Demographers, Research Scholars and other data users. It contains village-wise and town-wise demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the district along with the status of availability of civic amenities, infrastructural facilities etc.

In earlier censuses, District Census Handbooks were published in single volume with two parts. Part-A of DCHB contained Village and Town Directory and Part B contained Village and Town Primary Census Abstract data for each district. But this time, it is published in two volumes separately for PartA and Part-B of each district without changing the nomenclature of DCHB of 2001. This volume contains the Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract(PCA) along with Housing Amenities data.

From 2001 Census onwards, the software designed/created by the Data Processing Division of the Office of the Registrar General, India has been used for generation of tables. It reduced considerably the time taken for preparation of the District Census Handbooks. District Census Handbooks are published in Electronic form (pdf files) for the first time during the current Census.

I express my deep gratitude to Dr. C. Chandramouli, Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, for his encouragement and valuable guidance for completion of this volume within a timeframe.

BRIEF HISTORY OF DISTRICT Kozhikode as a district came into existence on 1st January 1957. After the

formation of Kerala state in 1956, when Malabar district was divided into three districts, the Central district with headquarters at Calicut (Kozhikode) was named as Kozhikode. The district, which initially had 5 taluks, had undergone several changes and the present district with 3 taluks was formed on 1st November 1980.

The early history of the district is lost in obscurity. Neither inscription nor works of classical geographers and poets help us in reconstructing in full its early history. However, it is certain that during the Sangam Age the district formed part of the empire of the Cheras. During the Sangam age i.e. in the first two centuries of A.D the district was known as Poozhinad, which was later, annexed to Chera empire. The history of Kozhikode district for the next few centuries i.e. upto 8th century A.D is obscure. Kozhikode and its surroundings were part of Polanad ruled by Kolathiris. The ancestors of present Zamorin family defeated Kolathiris forces and established their headquarters at Kozhikode. Because of the persistent efforts and administrative abilities of the rulers who were later known as Zamorin, Kozhikode became an important commercial and trading centre during post Sangam age.

During the pre Portuguese period the Zamorin achieved the suzerainty over a large track of land and many neighbouring Rajas accepted him as their protector. When Portuguese arrived in the political scene of Kerala, there were a few major and minor rulers in this part of the country. The major rulers comprised of Kolathiri Raja in the north, Zamorin in the central belt and the King of Venad in the south.

Vasco De Gama landed at Kappad near Calicut on 27th May 1498 and this visit can be considered as an important event in the history of Kerala. Zamorin permitted the Portuguese to build a factory at Calicut. Portuguese dominated the scene for a long time taking advantage of the enemity between Zamorin and the rulers of Cochin. Zamorins fleet under the command of Kunjali Marakkar defeated the Portuguese in several encounters. But taking advantage of the strained relationship between the Zamorin and the last Kunjali Marakkar, Portuguese aligned with the Zamorin. As per the agreement reached with the Portuguese, Zamorin took Kunjali IV as captive and handed him over to the Portuguese who later hanged him. Subsequently Portuguese withdrew from the scene.

The Dutch entered the political scene of Kerala only in 1663 by the capture of Cochin from the Portuguese though the Zamorins territories were also frequently visited by many Dutch admirals. The Dutch was in Kerala only for a short period.

The modern history of Kozhikode starts with the arrival of the British. In 1615, they entered at Calicut coast. Slowly they established their foothold in this large track of land, as a result of the political happening in the rest of the peninsula.

The Mysorean intervention in Kerala started as early as 1757. Hyder Ali who ascended the throne of Mysore in 1761 brought Calicut also under his

10

control after conquering Kolathiri, Kottayam and Kadathanad. After the departure of Hyder Ali from Calicut in 1768, revolts from local chieftains against his authority started. At the end of 1773, Hyder made a second invasion of Kerala through Coorg and Wayanad.

Zamorin left Calicut and took refuge in the Kingdom of Travancore. Hyder Ali ruled the area by appointing a military Governor for some period. In 1778, rebellion broke out against the Mysorean ruler with the encouragement of English East India Company. After the death of Hyder Ali, Tippu Sultan succeeded him. Tippus conquests and the founding of Feroke are the important events during the period. Tippu again came to Malabar in 1789 through Thamarasseri pass. However his suzerainty over the Malabar region could not last long. He was defeated by the British force. By the treaty of Srirangapatanam which concluded on 18th March 1792, the whole of erstwhile Malabar district including the present Kozhikode district was ceded to the English East India Company. Malabar became part of Madras presidency till the reorganisation of states in 1956.

Consequent on the States Reorganisation Act of the 1st November 1956, Kerala State was formed comprising of Kasargod Taluk of South Canara District, Malabar District (except Laccadive and Minicoy Islands), Travancore-Cochin State (excluding Thovala, Agastheswaram, Kalkulam, Vilancancode and Shencottah Taluks) on the 1st January 1957, Malabar District (comprising Kasargod Taluk and residuary Malabar District mentioned above) was divided into 3 new Districts viz. Cannanore, Kozhikode and Palghat. The District of Kozhikode thus formed had five Taluks viz. Badagara, Quilandy, Kozhikode, Ernad and Tirur. On the 15th March 1957, South Wayanad Taluk which was part of Cannanore District was added to Kozhikode District. On the 1st January 1979, North Wayanad Taluk was also made part of Kozhikode District. When a new Malappuram District was formed as a result of reorganisation of Village Boundaries a portion of Tirur Taluk was added to Kozhikode Taluk and Ernad and the residual Tirur Taluks were transferred to Malappuram District. Consequent on the formation of Wayanad District on the 1st November 1980, North Wayanad and South Wayanad Taluks were transferred from Kozhikode District.

In the freedom struggle Kozhikode became memorable when an annual session of Congress party was held at Calicut towards the close of 19th century and later in 1903. A branch of Home Rule League started functioning at Calicut with Shri K.P. Kesava Menon as its Secretary. The second political conference was held at Calicut in 1917. Mahatma Gandhi and Shoukat Ali visited Kerala to propagate the message of non-cooperation and Khilaphat movement. Political journalism in support of freedom struggle took shape in Malabar by starting a Malayalam newspaper Mathrubhoomi in March 1923 by Shri K.P. Kesava Menon and other Congress leaders. Another paper Al amin was started on 1924 under the leadership of Shri Muhammed Abdul Rahiman. The Salt Sathyagraha march of Congress volunteers under the leadership of Shri K.Kelappan started from Calicut to Payyannur on 13th April 1930. Calicut became the centre of political activity in the state. In the Quit India Movement of 1942 many young workers participated and courted arrest.

ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP

There are two systems of administrative set up in the district Revenue and local self-government. Under the revenue system the district is divided into Revenue Division, Taluks and Villages. However, for local administration, the district is divided into statutory towns and panchayats. For the implementation of development activities Panchayats are grouped into community development blocks. Therefore all these units viz. Taluks, Villages, Panchayats, Panchayat wards, Statutory towns and Community development blocks have their own relevance and importance. This handbook contains data for all these units.

The district comprises a single revenue division consisting of 3 taluks and 117 revenue villages. There are 12 development blocks and 78 panchayats. Out of 117 villages, 16 villages in Vadakara taluk, 17 villages in Quilandy taluk, 33 villages in Kozhikode taluk and a portion of a village in Quilandy taluk have been treated as urban. There are 3 statutory towns and 48 census towns in the district. The distribution of villages and towns in each taluks are given below.

Jurisdictional changes during the decade (2001-2011) In Census Terminology, jurisdictional changes include a number of factors.

It covers Inter/Intra District transfers, formation of new units either by way of bifurcation of a unit or by clubbing various units or by way of up gradation, change in name of units, declassification of units, etc.

12

During 2001 as well as 2011 Census the District consisted of three Taluks viz. Vadakara, Quilandy and Kozhikode. In the inter censual period (2001-2011) no jurisdictional changes took place in the District/Taluk level. However the number of Grama Panchayat has increased from 77 to 78 in 2011 as a result of bifurcating Thamarassery Grama Panchayat into Thamarassery and Kattippara Grama Panchayats vide G.O.(P) No.215/2005/LSGD dated 23.07.2005. The new Kattippara Panchayat was brought under Koduvally CD Block. During 2001-2011, 38 villages in Kozhikode district were classified as Census Towns on account of satisfying the three-fold urban criteria.

Brief Note on Primary Census Abstract

Introduction:

The Indian Census has the reputation of being one of the best in the world. The first Census in India was conducted in the year 1872. This was conducted at different points of time in different parts of the country. In 1881 a Census was taken for the entire country simultaneously. Since then, Census has been conducted every ten years, without break. Thus, the Census of India 2011 was the fifteenth in this unbroken series since 1872, the seventh after independence and the second census of the third millennium and twenty first century. The census has been uninterruptedly continued despite several adversities like wars, epidemics, natural calamities, political unrest, etc.

The Census of India is conducted under the provisions of the Census Act 1948 and the Census Rules, 1990. In Censuses until 1931, a synchronous de-facto method was adopted wherein the Census was conducted throughout the country on a single night. This being a very costly affair and involved the deployment of very large force at one point of time was given up in 1941. Since then the same methodology has been followed in all the Censuses. It is a gigantic operation and considered to be the single largest, complex, peace time administrative exercise in the world.

The Census Operation in India is carried out in two distinct but inter connected phases - the House listing and Housing Census followed by the Population Enumeration. During the first phase of Census 2011 i.e.,House listing and Housing Census, the buildings, census houses and households were identified and systematically listed in the House Listing and Housing Census Schedule during the period April to September, 2010 in different States/Union Territories. Apart from listing of houses, some useful data on the amenities available to the households was also collected for assessing condition of human settlements, housing deficits etc.

Censuses prior to Census 2001 had the system of collecting the information through Individual Slip which was a key schedule for every individual. The information collected through slip was then compiled for a household. Some information was also collected in addition to this for the household. During 2001 Census a comprehensive Household Schedule was adopted replacing the individual slip concept. In 2011 Census also similar household schedule was used for canvassing. The scope of demographic, socio-economic parameters has been widened in every census.

2. Population Enumeration - Census 2011:

The field work of the second phase i.e. Population Enumeration was carried out during February-March, 2011. One of the essential features of

19

Population Enumeration in the second phase was that each person was enumerated and her/his individual particulars were collected at a well-defined point of time.

The Census moment and the reference date for the Census of India 2011 was 00:00 hours of 1st March, 2011. The enumeration was conducted from 9th February to 28th February, 2011 alongwith a revisional round from 1st March, 2011 to 5th March, 2011 synchronously all over the country except for few specific areas of the Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand states that remain snowbound in February. In these locations the population enumeration was done from 11th September, 2010 to 30th September, 2010 along with a revisional round from 1st October, 2010 to 5th October, 2010. The reference date for the census in snow bound non-synchronous areas of these states was 00.00 hours of the first day of October, 2010. In addition to the coverage during House listing & Housing Census, the enumeration of the Houseless population was carried out on the night of 28th February, 2011, as has been the usual practice. For the purpose of Census, certain areas where the access of the civilian enumerators was not permissible due to security reasons termed as Special Charges such as the Defence and strictly Military/Para-Military areas, including operational areas were also covered. Such areas were not covered during the House listing& Housing Census. In addition to the defence/para-military areas, Special Charges also included certain factory areas, certain colonies, sensitive areas, scientific establishments, etc. These also formed Special Charges as these were not accessible by the usual census enumerator.

3. Quality Assurance:

A Task Force for Quality Assurance (TFQA) functioned under the chairmanship of the RG & CCI. Experienced officers of the different divisions of the organization i.e. Heads and senior officers of the Census Division, Data Processing Division, Map Division, Demography Division and Social Studies Division comprised the TFQA. The Directors of Census Operations were co-opted as members whenever the TFQA discussed the data for their States/Union territories. The main objective of constituting the TFQA was to subject the data to stringent validation checks and ensure its quality before release as it was expedient to be satisfied itself about the quality of data before putting the same in public domain.

The Directors and their senior officers were involved at all levels with respect to the quality and the coverage of their States/UTs. The TFQA intensively scrutinized coverage and content parameters including edit and imputation logic. The most important aspect of the data quality was to ensure complete coverage of all geographical areas especially for the population enumeration phase where the data is disseminated right up to the village level in the rural areas and the ward level in the urban areas. Thus ensuring the complete coverage and correct geographical linkage of each enumeration block was one of the major planks of the quality control, especially for small area

20

population statistics. The content was scrutinized mainly through the process of internal consistency, comparison with similar data in the past and also through validation with likewise data if available, from external sources. Quite often the local knowledge and perception was looked at to understand both the existing and the new emerging trends of population distribution and characteristics. A very comprehensive check and edit mechanism was put in place to objectively examine the preliminary Census 2011 Population Enumeration results and finally clear them for use. The population data was cleared only after the full possible satisfaction of the TFQA.

The entire work relating to the data validation and scrutiny was completed by all the States/Union territories under the overall supervision and monitoring of the Census Division of the Office of the Registrar General, India with active cooperation and support of the Social Studies Division, Data Processing Division, Data Dissemination Division and Map Division.

4. Primary Census Abstract:

The Primary Census Abstract which is an important publication of 2011 Census gives basic information on Area, Total Number of Households, Total Population, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes Population, Population in the age group 0-6, Literates, Main Workers and Marginal Workers classified by the four broad industrial categories, namely, (i) Cultivators, (ii) Agricultural Labourers, (iii) Household Industry Workers, and (iv) Other Workers and also Non-Workers. The characteristics of the Total Population include Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Institutional and Houseless Population and are presented by sex and rural-urban residence.

In 1981 census main workers were presented into four categories. As regards 1991 Census, the nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given in the Primary Census Abstract. One of the important features of the Primary Census Abstract of 1991 Census was the presentation of population of the age group 0-6 which is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. All the children of age 6 years or less have been treated as illiterate even if the child is going to a school and may have picked up reading and writing. This will help the data users in better analysis and understanding of the literacy data as the literacy rate is calculated with 7 years and above population and it is referred as effective literacy rate. In 2001 and 2011 census four categories of main workers have been given in the Primary Census Abstract.

5. Level of Presentation of PCA data in District Census Handbooks:

The format of Primary Census Abstract (PCA) adopted in the DCHB of 2001 Census has been continued for 2011 Census as the data on four categories of works have been presented similar to 2001 census. The Primary Census Abstract data in different PCAs are presented at different levels. The level of presentation of Primary Census Abstracts in DCHB is as under:

21

1. District Primary Census Abstract -District/C.D. Block/Town.2. Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Castes- District/C.D. Block/Town.3. Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Tribes -District/C.D. Block/Town.4. Village Primary Census Abstract -C.D. Block/Village wise.5. Urban Primary Census Abstract- Town/Ward level.

The PCA Data for villages was presented C.D. Block wise for the first time in 1991 Census. This practice is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. The term Total Population includes the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, the Institutional and the Houseless populations. An appendix to District Primary Census Abstract has also been furnished showing urban enumeration block-wise particulars on Total Population, the Scheduled Castes Population and the Scheduled Tribes Population for each town.

6. Area Figures:

The area figures supplied by local revenue authorities of the district in respect of tahsils, Police Stations and by the local bodies in respect of towns are given in square kilometers. The area figures of the villages supplied by the Tahsildars in acres have been converted and shown in hectares. The area figures of the C.D. Block are the total of the village areas coming under each C.D. Block. The area figures for the district are the same as adopted by the Surveyor General of India to maintain uniformity at the national level.
