DARBARANYESWARAR TEMPLE AT THIRUNALLAR
Darbaranyeswarar temple is situated in Thirunallar in Karaikal district. This

temple is famous with the story that the great King Nala of historical fame got himself
rid of affliction of Saturn or Saneeswara, after having worshipped the Lord consecrated
in this temple. The place was originally a forest of darba grass and a Siva linga was
found within the grass. The moolavar of Darbaranyeswarar is said to be a Swaymbu
lingam. Tamil Saint Thirugnanasambandar has sung a pathigam in praise of the deity
here. Five thirthams (Holy water ponds) are associated with this temple namely
Brahma Thirtham and Vani Thirtham on the north and south, Anna Thirtham and
Agasthiar Thirtham on the north and Nala Thirtham on the north west of the temple.
It is mythologically believed by the people that if those who are afflicted by the
Saneeswaran (one of the Navagrahas-Saturn) take a bath in Nala Thirtham and offer
prayers at this temple, they will get relieved immediately from the affliction of
Saneeswarar.
The Sani Peyarchi festival on the day of movement of the Saturn planet from one
sign to the next sign of the Zodiac is celebrated in a grand manner once in every two
and half years according to astrology. This festival attracts several lakhs of people from
all over the country.

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, 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 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.
4. 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’.
5. 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
1
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

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-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.
7. The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled and
computerized under the supervision of Shri J.Jayapragasam, Deputy Director,
Directorate of Census Operations, Puducherry. The task of Planning, Designing and Co-
ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar

PREFACE
In these days in the age of information technology, every individual in the

world has access to a variety of information covering a Kaleidoscope of interest
and fields. Availability of relevant information is very vital for planners, policy
makers and researchers.
The valuable set of indicators relating to the human capital of India,
thrown up by the Census, are the empirical basis to evaluate the past, assess
the present and to take informed decisions for the future. Census is not merely
a head count but a snap shot of the socio-economic, demographic and cultural
profile of the country at a particular point of time. Time series of data spanning
more than a century is a veritable treasure trove of information to understand
the multi-level, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, that is India!
The District Census Handbook (DCHB) published by Census
Organisation since 1951 Census, is one of the important publications in the
context of planning and development at gross-root level. The publication, which
is brought for each district, contains several demography and socio-economic
characteristics village-wise and town-wise of the district alongwith the status of
availability of civic amenities, infrastructural facilities, etc.
The Five Year Plans have come to stay in the country and whatever
development is achieved as a result of implementation of planning from the
bottom level such as development of infrastructure facilities as well as basic
amenities, etc is reflected in the District Census Handbooks and they give to
the reader a searching eye whether the development over the years in
villages/taluks/district is lopsided or upto the mark. This is the basic
requirement of this type of publications and an attempt has been made to show
whether the Census Handbook reasonably fulfill this aspiration/requirements.
The District Handbooks are thus useful to planners in planning from
bottom as well as to administrators, researchers, educational institutions
including universities and other socio-economic research centres and also for
the students conducting research in demography, social and economic studies
as well as to the local bodies like Panchayats, Municipalities and Municipal
Corporation etc.
The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and
Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town within the district and
has been widened by including new tables and information at every census.
The present series of 2011 Census DCHBs have been made more informative
and exhaustive in terms of coverage and content.
The District Census Handbook (DCHB) of Census 2011 has been brought
out in two parts – Part A contains Village and Town Directory and Part B
contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract (PCA) alongwith
Housing Amenities data. Both the parts have been published in one volume.
For the first time in the history of DCHB since 1961, Part B – PCA and
Housing Amenities data have been brought out electronically.
The District Census Handbook of Census 2011 has been completed by
the joint efforts of Officers and Staff of Census Division, Social Studies Division
and Map Division of ORGI and Our Directorate of Union Territory of
Puducherry.

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’
6
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
Several explanations are offered for the word ‘Karaikal’. The Imperial
Gazetteer gives it the meaning as ‘fish pass’. According to Julien Vinson the
town is said to have known as Karaigiri in Sanskrit. However, the name
Karaikal is no doubt a combination of two words ‘Karai’ and ‘Kal’ which
means ‘lime mix’ and ‘canal’ i.e. a canal built of lime mix. However, no trace
of such a canal is evident now.
In 1738, Benoit Dumas, a shrewd calculative prudent man and a lover of
peace and above all anxious to extend the French territory in India by
smooth means, negotiated with Sahuji(Saiyaji) of Thanjavur for possession
of Karaikal, the fortress of Karakalacheri and 5 villages for 40,000 chakras
but not materialised. On 14th February 1739 the French took possession of
Karaikal town, the fort of Karakalacheri and 8 dependent villages as a gift
from Chanda Saheb, the ruler of Trichy who conquered Karaikal. The King
of Thanjavur raised the price for the town of Karaikal and the fort of
Karakalacheri to 50,000 chakras. He also demanded a loan of 1,50,000
chakras without interest repayable in 3 years against the hypothecation of
Mayavaram lands and an annual rent of 4,000 pagodas for 5 villages. The
French agreed to all the terms except for the payment of 1,50,000 chakras
which was reduced to two or three thousand chakras. The villages so
received were Kilaiyur, Melaiyur, Puduthurai, Kovilpathu and
Tirumalairayanpattinam. Pratap Singh who succeeded the throne renewed
demand for a loan of 1,00,000 chakras and on receipt of the first installment
of 4,000 chakras he assigned 8 more villages to the French viz., Codague
(Kondagai), Vanjiyur, Arimullimangalam, Neravy, Dharmapuram,
Uzhiapathu, Mattakudi (probably Mathalangudi) and Polagam. Then on
12th February 1740, he sold for 60,000 chakras these 8 villages which he
had assigned only the previous year for 40,000 chakras. The same year he
pledged Thirunallar Mahanam for 55,350 chakras and also pledged 33
villages for 60,000 chakras. By a treaty signed on 12th January 1750,
Pratap Singh ceded to the French 81 villages around Karaikal and cancelled
the annual rent of 2,000 pagodas payable for the villages. This was all the
territory the French possessed around Thanjavur when they surrendered to
the British in 1761. The territory then passed twice to the British control
before it was finally handed over to the French in 1816 under the Treaty of
Paris, 1814.
The formation of Karaikal National Congress on 13th June 1947 and
Students Congress on 31st January 1947 symbolized the first concrete
expression of popular desire in Karaikal for freedom from French rule. The
French ruled this district till 31st October, 1954 and de facto – transfer of
power took place on 1st November 1954 followed by de jure-transfer on
16th August, 1962. Even Though the Territory was handed over to the
Republic of India on 1st November 1954 Karaikal's municipal administration
was continued pursuant to the Arrêté dated 8 March 1880. This was
replaced by the promulgation of the Pondicherry Municipality Act, 1973,
with effect from 26 January 1974.

Primary Census Abstract (PCA)
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 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.
16
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 population distribution and
characteristics. A very comprehensive check and edit mechanism was put in
17
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:
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
18
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.
