02. Rural-Urban Areas

!he data in the table on :inal #opulation !otals are presented separatel for rural and urban areas. !he unit of classification in this regard is ?town? for urban areas and ?village? for rural areas. In the Census of India 2001, the definition of urban area adopted is as follows" 7a8 All statutor places with a municipalit , corporation, cantonment board or notified town area committee, etc. 7b8 A place satisf ing the following three criteria simultaneousl " i8 a minimum population of *,000; ii8 at least ,* per cent of male working population engaged in non%agricultural pursuits; and iii8 a densit of population of at least (00 per s@. km. 71,000 per s@. mile8. :or identification of places which would @ualif to be classified as ?urban? all villages, which, as per the 1001 Census had a population of (,000 and above, a population densit of (00 persons per s@. km. and having at least ,* per cent of male working population engaged in non%agricultural activit were considered. !o work out the proportion of male working population referred to above against b87ii8, the data relating to main workers were taken into account. An &rban Agglomeration is a continuous urban spread constituting a town and its adAoining urban outgrowths 749s8 or two or more ph sicall contiguous towns together and an adAoining urban outgrowths of such towns. B6amples of 49s are railwa colonies, universit campuses, port areas, etc., that ma come up near a cit or statutor town outside its statutor limits but within the revenue limits of a village or villages contiguous to the town or cit . Bach such individual area b itself ma not satisf the minimum population limit to @ualif it to be treated as an independent urban unit but ma deserve to be clubbed with the town as a continuous urban spread. :or the purpose of delineation of &rban Agglomerations during Census of India 2001, following criteria are taken as pre%re@uisites" 7a8 !he core town or at least one of the constituent towns of an urban agglomeration should necessaril be a statutor town; and 7b8 !he total population of all the constituents 7i.e. towns and outgrowths8 of an &rban Agglomeration should not be less than 20,000 7as per the 1001 Census8. 2ith these two basic criteria having been met, the following are the possible different situations in which &rban Agglomerations would be constituted" 7i8 a cit or town with one or more contiguous outgrowths; 7ii8 two or more adAoining towns with their outgrowths; and 7iii8 a cit and one or more adAoining towns with their outgrowths all of which form a continuous spread. 3enu

!he general pattern followed in coding of an geographical unit was a serpentine one, e6cept for the wards in the towns, beginning from the 5orth%west corner and completing at the farthest .outh%east corner within the defined higher level of the geographical hierarch . In so far as the .tate=&t is concerned Fammu / Cashmir has code number 01 7north%west corner8 and code number '* 7south east corner8 has been allotted to Andaman / 5icobar Islands. 9enerall the administrative unit below a district is a sub%district, for e6ample !ehsil or !aluk. )owever, in certain states and union territories e6ceptions had to be made since the nomenclature for sub%districts is not uniform throughout the countr . :or e6ample, in 4rissa #olice station is the sub%district, in 2est >engal it is the Communit Development >lock and so on.

In Assam, 3izoram and 4rissa there are a few sub%districts which cut across the district Aurisdictions. In such situations these sub%districts onl have been provided a separate series of code numbers viz. 0000, 0001 etc., whereas those sub%districts which do not violate the district boundaries have been given the normal code numbers i.e. 0001, 0002 etc. the sub%districts which cut across two districts are 18 .idli Circle 7CokraAhar and >ongaigaon districts8, 28 Dhakuakhana Circle 7 1akhimpur and DhemaAi districts8 and '8 .ubansiri Circle 71akhimpur and DhemaAi districts8 in Assam, (8 !langnuam $ural Development >lock 7Colasib and Aizawl districts8, *8 !hingsulthliah $ural Development >lock 7Aizawl and .erchhip districts8 and +8 Bast 1ungdar $ural Development >lock 7Champhai and .erchhip districts8 in 3izoram and ,8 $amagiri #olice .tation 79anAam and 9aAapati districts8 in 4rissa.4ne of the maAor initiatives taken in the Census 2001 was the allotment of #ermanent 1ocation Code 5umber 7#1C58 to each and ever village within the .tate and not within a sub%district as in the earlier censuses. #1C5 was thus assigned as one continuous number from the first village in the first district to the last village in the last district. #1C5 is an eight digit uni@ue location code number with the first si6 digits representing the code number of the village and the last two digits are b default two zeros ?00? as future provision. !hese zeros are reserved as buffer to be used for coding an new village7s8 that ma come up between two e6isting villages in future. :or e6ample, if a new village comes up between two villages with #1C5s 012*(+00 and 012*(,00, the new village will be allotted #1C5 012*(+01 and so on. !he location code number for a town in ever state is also an eight digit number starting with the digit ( situated at the e6treme left acting as the uni@ue identifier for an town in the state. !he ne6t two digits depict the code number of the district in which the town falls followed b two digits representing the town
