Kangra Fort

The Kangra Fort is located atop a hill at the confluence of Banganga and Patal Ganga river (also known as the Majhi), in the south western outskirts of the old Kangra town. The fort was built by the founder of Katoch Dynasty, Bhuma Chand. The fort is also known by other names, Nagarkot and Kot Kangra.The history of the fort reveals that it attracted numerous eyes that wished to control the region. In those days it was said that the person who holds the Kangra fort will be the one who ruled over Kangra. Accordingly, the king of Kashmir, Shreshta became the first one to conquer the fort in 470 AD. In 1009 AD, Mohammad of Gazni set his eyes on the fort and ransacked it. He took away with him 7 lakh gold coins, 28 tonnes utensils made of gold and silver and 8 tonnes of diamond and pearls. The next two attacks on the fort were made by Muhammad Tughlaq (in 1337) and Feroze Shah ( in 1357). A quick period of peace was soon followed by another attack. This one came from Khan Jahan, a commander of Sher Shah Suri in the year 1540. Less than a century later, Jahangir himself occupied the fort in 1620. The year of 1781 saw the fort passing into the hands of Jassa Singh Kanhaya while five years later Maharaja Sansar Chand became its owner. Maharaja Ranjit Singh captured it in 1809 and finally in 1846, the Kangra fort fell into the hands of the British power.

A devastating earthquake in 1905 caused much damage to the fort. As of today, the fort is the property of the Archaeological Survey of India. The fort spreads over a long stretch of land and has high ramparts and walls protecting it. They cover a circuit of around 4 kms. The ancient fort has numerous Darwazas built by various conquerors. Access to the fort is gained from the Ranjit Singh Darwaza which leads to the Jahangiri Darwaza through the Ahni and Amiri Darwazas. Other Darwazas are the Andheri Darwaza and the Darshani Darwaza. At the other end of the Darshani Darwaza there stands two temples namely the Lakshmi Narayan Temple and the Sitlamata Temple. Standing to the north of these two temples is the Ambika Devi Temple which is still used for the purpose of worshipping. To the south of the Ambika Devi Temple, stand two small Jain temples which are in a bad shape and one of it has a seated image of Lord Adinath.The other Jain Temple, unfortunately has only a pedestal. A modern Jain Temple is also there which serves the accommodation purpose of the pilgrims to Kangra.

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 of1991 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 wasimproved 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 widenedby including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These

2

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. 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 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.

6. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-Acontains 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.

7. The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiledand computerized under the supervision of Sh. Balbir Tegta, Director of Census Operations Himachal Pradesh. The task of Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS) under the guidance & supervision of Dr. R.C.Sethi, Ex-Addl. RGI and Shri Deepak Rastogi present Addl.RGI. Shri A.P. Singh, Deputy Registrar General, (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of maps. Shri A.K.

Preface

The Census is the biggest source of comprehensive data on demography, economic activity, literacy and education, housing and household amenities, urbanization, fertility, mortality, Scheduled Caste and Schedule Tribes, language, religion and migration at village, town and ward level. District Census Hand Book (DCHB) is series of such Census publication and is the most important district level publication which provides reliable data at grass root level for the purpose of planning, administrative requirements as well as of academic development in socio- demographic field. The DCHB contains the salient results on the data gathered at the actual enumeration of head-count and in addition contain a wealth of other non-census information in respect of each village and town of the district.

Following the Census tradition, the 2011 series of the District Census Handbooks is also comprised of two parts. Part-A contains Village and Town Directory data which provides information on infrastructural amenities and land use data at village level. 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. Now DCHB 2011 will also present the newly added amenities which have been discussed in the foreword of this volume along with the information pertaining to name and location of villages, area, population, number of households, important civic amenities/ facilities available in villages like educational, medical, drinking water, post, telegraph and telephone, commercial and co-operative banks, agricultural & non-agricultural credit societies, recreational and cultural facilities, communications, approach to the village, nearest town by distance, power supply, news paper/magazine and most important commodity manufactured in the villages. Similarly, the comprehensive statements and their analysis of Town Directory provide valuable information on growth, physical, economic, 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 developmental plans. Part-B contains village and town-wise Primary Census Abstract (PCA) along with Housing amenities data which provides information on area, number of households, sex-wise total population, child population in age-group 0-6, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, literates, workers, non-workers and divisions of workers into four industrial categories i.e. cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers in household industries, other workers and special tables on Housing data 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 village directory, housing tables and PCA and their analysis added in the District Census Handbook provide glimpse of availability of amenities to villages, conditions of housing, assets available with households and demographic profile of population at Sub-District/C.D. Block level which are of much utility for demarcation of areas of surplus and deficit to reorient the planning process.

The District Census Handbook is a joint venture of the Government of Himachal Pradesh and the Census organisation of the Government of India. The design of 2011 District Census Handbooks is evolved centrally by the Registrar

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 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

Kangra district derives its name from Kangra town which was called Nagarkot in the ancient times. Kangra proper originally was a part of the ancient Trigartha or Trigarta (Jalandhar) which comprised of the area lying between the rivers Shatadroo (probably Satluj) and Ravi. A tract of land to the east of the Satluj which probably is the area of Sirhind in Punjab also formed a part of Trigartha or Trigarta. Trigartha was comprised of two provinces, viz one in the plains with headquarters at Jalandhar and the other in the hills with headquarters at Nagarkot (present Kangra).

In the time of Harsha, the famous Chinese pilgrim Hiuen Tsiang visited Jalandhar sometimes in March 635 A.D. and in his writings he has referred to the principality of Jalandhar situated towards the north-east of China-Po-ti (China Bhakti) and towards the south-east of Kiu-lo-to (Kullu). From the history of Kashmir given in the Rajtirangini, Raja Shankar Verma (883 to 903) of Kashmir held suzerainty over Prithi Chand of Trigartha.

In ancient times, a number of petty chiefs ruled in the hills within their respective domains owning allegiance to the powerful Raja at the centre. However, Katoch princes ruled over Kangra from the earliest times. At the time of the invasion of the Punjab by Alexandar in 326 B.C., a Katoch prince ruled Tirgartha or Trigarta.

In the beginning of the 11th century, Mahmood of Ghazni finished the Turki Shahi family and the Hindu Shahi dynasty of Kabul in Afghanistan and after defeating a large Hindu army at Ohind and later at Peshawar, advanced into the plains of the Punjab. After defeating the Hindu king at Lahore, he invaded Nagarkot. After defeating the Rajput Raja at Kangra, who had sent most of his men to the fight the Muslims elsewhere. Mahmood satisfied his lust for wealth by carrying away on camel backs, enormous wealth of gold and silver from the fort and temple of Kangra. After passing of this storm, the Katoch kings continued their rule over the Trigartha area undisturbed. Even after the conquest of Lahore by the Turks, the Katoch family held some territory of Jalandhar in the plains. However, one Ibrahim of Ghazni conquered this territory from the Katoch king Jagdeo Chander in A.D.1070.

In 1337, Mohd. Tuglak, an Afghan king of Delhi, captured the fort of Kangra in the reign of Raja Prithi Chand. In 1351, however, Raja Purab Chand recovered the fort from the Muslims. One of the successor, namely Raja Rup Chand, became ambitious and led an expedition into the plains of the Punjab, plundering the country right upto the outskirts of Delhi. This was an act of affrontary which could not be condoned by the Sultan of Delhi. So, Feroz Shah Tuglak invaded Kangra in 1366 to punish the Raja. The fort was surrendered after a long siege, and the Raja submitted completely to the Sultan. After the death of Rup Chand, his son Singara Chand succeeded to the throne and ruled over Kangra at the time of the invasion of Timur.

10

Sher Shah Suri, the Afgan king, who turned out Humayun from India, also captured Kangra in 1540. By 1555, the Muslim influence again declined. Akbar, however, subjugated all the hill Rajas. Occasionally the hill Rajas rebelled against the imperial authorities, but after a few skirmishes with the Moghul Generals, they submitted and renewed their pledges of loyalty.

Jahangir also became interested in the kingdom of Kangra of Trigartha or Trigarta. He wanted to annexe the territory of this state and to capture the fort, because a lot of prestige was attached to the fort of Kangra. It was said that who-so-ever, held the fort automatically becomes the ruler of hill states. The invasion took place in 1615 under the command of Sheikh Farid, Murtaza Khan and Raja Suraj Mal of Nurpur who was in the confidence of Jahangir. The fort could not be captured and after one year the siege had to be given up. Next year, another expedition was sent by Jahangir under Shah Quli Khan, Mohammad Taqi and Suraj Mal, but Suraj Mal proved unfaithful. The emperor had to send another strong force under Sunder Das against Suraj Mal and also against the Raja of Kangra. After one year and two months siege, Sunder Das captured the fort in 1620. The Katoch ruler lost the fort at least for 160 years. The entire state was annexed to the Moghul Kingdom and a strong garrison was left incharge of the fort. In 1622, Jahangir and Begum Nur Jahan came to Kangra via Siba and returned to Delhi via Nurpur and Pathankot. They were fascinated by the beauty of the Kangra valley.

In 1752, Punjab was transferred to Ahmed Shah Durani by the weak Moghul rulers of Delhi. The Afgans could not successfully control these far flung areas from Kabul. So, local Governors were appointed to administer the territory on behalf of the Afgan ruler. In 1758, Raja Ghamand Chand was appointed Nazim or the Governor of Jalandhar Doab under the Afgans. Ghamand Chand was a brave man and a strong ruler who restored the prestige and glory of Kangra. As he was unable to capture the Kangra fort, he built another fort at Tira Sujanpur on the left bank of the Beas almost opposite Alampur on a hill overlooking the town. This great ruler died in 1774 and was succeeded by his son Tegh Chand who died after one year in 1775.

Kangra then saw the rise of another great ruler Sansar Chand (II). Though the Punjab had been given to the Duranis, the old Moghul officers had proclaimed their independence in some outlying parts of the country. Nawab Saif Ali Khan at Kangra was one such officer. Raja Sansar Chand had an ambition to recapture the fort and in 1781, he called to his aid Sardar Jai Singh of Kanhaya Misal. The fort was surrendered by the Moghul Officer in 1783 but it fell into the hands of the Sikhs. Sansar Chand got the fort after some years by exchanging it with some territory, which he had won in the plains of the Punjab. After getting the fort, Sansar Chand revived the tradition and laid a claim to supremacy over all the principalities and hill states of the Jalandhar Circle. He made the hill chiefs tributary to himself. In his capital at Tira Sujanpur, he erected a great Darbar Hall. For full twenty years he reigned

11

supreme over all the hill states of Kangra, Mandi, Kullu and Chamba. Sansar Chand was well known for his generosity, kindness, bravery, justice and good administration, patronage of art and shrewd judgement of men and matters. Sansar Chand was also a great builder. He had beautified many places in the territory ruled over by him. He planted numerous gardens and the one at Alampur is said to have been as beautiful as the Shalimar Gardens at Lahore. However, reckless bravery and unlimited ambition of this great Raja ultimately ruined him. His dream was to regain the far reaching dominions of his ancestors and even to establish the Katoch rule in the entire Punjab. In 1803-1804, he invaded the plains of the Punjab twice but was defeated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. In 1805 he annexed a part of Bilaspur state, thus coming in

conflict with the Gurkhas, who in the latter half of the 18th century moved south to establish their dominion over the entire hilly part of India from Nepal to Kashmir and had actually come up to the river Satluj. Gurkhas became angry at the annexation of a part of Bilaspur state, which was under their suzerainty. They invaded Kangra, but were defeated. The hill Rajas of Kangra, however, were feeling sore against Sansar Chand. They all approached Raja Amar Singh Thapa of Gurkhas through the Raja of Bilaspur to invade Kangra again. In 1806, with the help of the hill chiefs, the Gurkhas defeated Raja Sansar Chand who had to take refuge inside the fort. The country was laid waste and was plundered by the enemies. During the siege of the fort, a state of anarchy prevailed throughout the Kangra valley. The siege lasted for four years. After that Sansar Chand managed to get out of the fort and fled to Tira Sujanpur.

In 1809, Maharaja Ranjit Singh visited Jawalamukhi temple where Sansar Chand met him and entered into a treaty with him. It was agreed that the Maharaja should help Sansar Chand in expelling Gurkhas from the state and that in return the Maharaja would get the Kangra fort along with nearby 66 villages. Gurkhas were defeated by the combined forces of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Sansar Chand. The fort of Kangra with 66 villages surrounding it, was made over to Ranjit Singh. Dessa Singh Majithia was appointed the Nazim or Governor of the fort and Kangra hills and from that day all the states of the Jalandhar Circle became tributary to the Sikhs. Sansar Chand returned to Tira Sujanpur where he died in 1823.

Sansar Chands son, Anirudh Chand succeeded his father in 1823 but he was not destined to rule for a long time. Raja Dhian Singh, the Dogra chief of Jammu, the most powerful man in the Sikh kingdom after Maharaja Ranjit Singh, desired to marry one of the two sisters of Anirudh Chand. For the rulers of the Katoch family, this demand in itself was an insult. Anirudh Chand was adamant not to permit that alliance. The Maharaja got angry and led an expedition against him. Anirudh Chand had to flee and the Sikhs occupied the entire state of Kangra.

After the First Battle of Sikhs in March, 1846, the territory of the Punjab lying between the Satluj and Ravi rivers, including the hill states of Kangra proper and Kullu were ceded to the British Government. The entire area, comprising Kangra proper, Kullu and Seraj and the tracts of Lahul & Spiti, was now constituted into the Kangra district, with its headquarters at Kangra. After a few years, the headquarters of the district was transferred to Dharmsala because that place was considered cooler and healthier for the British officers and also the slopes of the Dhaula Dhar provided ample room to accommodate a newly raised local contigent for the army.

The present Kangra district came into existent on the 1st September, 1972 consequent upon the reorganization of districts by the Government of Himachal Pradesh. It was the largest district of the composite Punjab in terms

of area till it was transferred to Himahcal Pradesh on the 1st November, 1966 and had six tehsils namely Nurpur, Kangra, Palampur, Dera Gopipur and Hamirpur. Kullu was also a tehsil of Kangra district upto 1962 and Lahul & Spiti which also formed a part of Kangra was created as a separate district in

1960. On the reorganization of composite Punjab on the 1st November, 1966 the areas constituting Kangra district were transferred to Himachal Pradesh alongwith the districts of Shimla, Kullu and Lahul & Spiti and tehsils of Una and Nalagarh and areas of Dalhousie, Dalhousie CB and Bakloh CB of Gurdaspur.

Change in administrative units between 1961 and 2011Census:- After 1961 Census, Kullu tehsil of Kangra district was carved out and a

separate district by that name was formed, where as in 1961, only Kangra

district covered this area. On 1st November, 1966 the Una town and 290 villages of Una tehsil of Hoshiarpur district alongwih Kangra, Kullu, Lahul & Spiti and Shimla district were transferred from Punjab state to Himachal Pradesh. Una tehsil was included in Kangra district, two new sub-tehsils namely Amb and Barsar were created after 1961 Census. Accordingly, 625 villages were carved out from Hamirpur tehsil and the sub-tehsil Barsar came into existence. 179 villages were carved out from Una tehsil and Amb sub-tehsil was formed. One village namely Kosar of Una tehsil was transferred to Hamirpur tehsil.

At the time of 1971 Census, Kangra was the biggest district in the state having 8 tehsils/sub-tehsils. These tehsils/sub-tehsils contained 6,524 villages and 9 towns.

During the decade of 1971-1981, the Himachal Pradesh Government sub-divided Kangra district into three districts namely Una, Hamirpur and Kangra

on 1st September, 1972. The entire tehsil of Hamirpur and 314 villages of Barsar sub-tehsil were transferred to newly formed Hamirpur district. The

13

entire Una tehsil, Amb sub-tehsil and 311 villages of Barsar sub-tehsil were transferred to newly formed Una district.

After the reorganisation of composite Kangra district in Septempber, 1972, district further faced jurisdictional changes at tehsil/sub-tehsil level when four new sub-tehsils were created out of existing tehsils during 1980. Indora and Fatehpur sub-tehsils were created out of Nurpur tehsil by transferring 110 and 289 villages to newly created sub-tehsils respectively. 77 villages of Dera Gopipur tehsil were added to Nurpur tehsil. Khundian sub-tehsil was created out of Dera Gopipur tehsil by transferring 249 villages and Lambagraon sub-tehsil from Palampur tehsil by transferring 290 villages in January and April, 1980 respectively. Druing 1971-81, Dera Gopipur and Jawalamukhi notified area committees were also constituted. The district continued to face jurisdictional changes in subsequent decades due to creation of new tehsils/sub-tehsils.

During the decade of 1981-91 however no jurisdictional change took place at district level but some changes occurred within district at tehsil/sub-tehsil level. In all, 9 tehsils/sub-tehsils were created during 1981-91 and Lambagraon sub-tehsil was renamed as Jai Singhpur and upgraded to tehsil.

Baroh tehsil with the transfer of 169 villages from Kangra tehsil and Rakkar sub-tehsil with the transfer of 113 villages from Dera Gopipur tehsil were created in the year of 1981.

Dharmsala tehsil with 194 villages and two towns of Dharmsala MC and Yol CB from Kangra tehsil, Jawali tehsil with 157 villages comprising of 101 villages from Nurpur tehsil,37 from Fatehpur tehsil and 19 villages transferred from Dera Gopipur tehsil, Baijnath tehsil with 253 villages constituting 208 villages of Palampur tehsil and 45 villages of Lambagraon sub-tehsil and sub-tehsil of Harchakian with 80 villages from Kangra tehsil were created during the year of 1986.

Dhira sub-tehsil was created in the year of 1988 by transferring 128 villages from Palampur tehsil while Jaswan tehsil with 101 villages from Dera Gopipur tehsil was came into being in 1989 and Thural sub-tehsil with 83 villages annexing 80 from Palampur tehsil and 3 villages from Labagraon sub-tehsil was created in the year of 1990.

At the time of 1991 Census, Kangra district was having 12 tehsils, 5 sub-tehsils, 8 towns and 3,869 villages. The number of villages was reduced from 4,072 to 3,869 due to settlement.

As per 2001 Census Kangra district was having 3,868 villages spread over 19 tehsils/sub-tehsils. One village Mant Khas of Dharmsala tehsil was declared as census town. The district has not undergone any change in the boundary of district during the decade of 1991-2001. However, the process of re-organising the tehsils/sub-tehsils continued during this decade to provide easy accessibility to the administrative headquarters of tehsils/sub-tehsils to the people. The number of tehsils/sub-tehsils has increased from 17 in 1991 to 19

14

in 2001 Census. A new tehsil of Shahpur has been formed with headquarters at Shahpur by taking away 18 village from sub-tehsil Harchakian, 137 villages from Kangra and 18 villages from Dharmsala tehsils in 1995. Another sub-tehsil of Multhan has been created with headuuarters of the same name by merging 49 villages of Baijnath tehsil in 1999. Besides this, Fatehpur sub-tehsil has been upgraded to tehsil level vide notification No.GAB(G-1) 6 (F)12/77, dated 25.3.1995. In addition to these jurisdictional changes, a few changes have been effected in the boundary of tehsils/sub-tehsils by transferring some villages from one to other tehsils.

During the decade of 2001-2011 Census the number of tehsil/sub-tehsil was increased from 19 to 21 with the creation of Nagrota Bagwan and Jawalamukhi tehsils. 175 villages from Kangra tehsil were transferred to Nagrota Bagwan and 134 villages from Dera Gopipur to Jawalamukhi. One village of Indora of Indora tehsil declared census town whereas Mant Khas of Dharmsala tehsil lost its identity of census town. One village each was newly created in the tehsils of Fatehpur and Dharmsala and sub-tehsil of Thural. Three villages of Dharmsala tehsil have been treated as out- growth of Dharmsal town. In 2011 Census Kangra district was having 3,869 villages and 9 towns including one census town.

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 a 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 of 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 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.

23

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 along with 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 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

24

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 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:

25

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.
