VIVEKANANDA MEMORIAL
AND
THIRUVALLUVAR STATUE
There are two rocks projecting out of the Indian Ocean, south-
east of Kanniyakumari temple. These rocks provide an ideal vantage point
for visitors desiring to view the land end of India. On one of these rocks,
Swami Vivekananda sat in long and deep meditation, when he visited
Kanniyakumari in 1892. On this rock, the “Vivekananda Rock Memorial”
was built in 1970 with a blend of all the architectural styles of India.
A statue of Swami Vivekananda has been installed inside this memorial
building. One can also see “Sri Padha Parai”, believed by the devout to
be the foot prints of the virgin Goddess Kanniyakumari on this rock.
The Thiruvalluvar Statue is a 133 feet tall stone sculpture of the

Tamil poet and philosopher, Tiruvalluvar, author of the Thirukkural located
adjacent to Vivekananda Rock Memorial.

FOREWORD
The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of the Census Organization
since 1951. It contains both Census and non Census data of urban and rural areas for each District. The
Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the
lowest administrative unit i.e. of each Village and Town and ward of the District. The Primary Census
Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected
during 1st Phase of the Census i.e. House Listing and Housing Census. The non Census data presented
in the DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various
infrastructure facilities available in the village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication
and transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities. Later on, the
Telegraph Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th July, 2013. The data of DCHB are
of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level.
In the 1961 Census, DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District, administrative statistics,
Census tables and Village and Town Directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed
in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town
Directory, Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics,
District Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages.
The 1981 Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and
Part-B the PCA of Village and Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New
features along with restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village
Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the
referent Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given.
The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except
the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given
against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex wise population
in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile
more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time
of 1991 Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development
Block (CD Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/
Taluk/PS level presentation.
As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including
some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and ‘most
important commodity’ manufactured in a Village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier Censuses. In
Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details
on all slums instead of ‘notified slums’.
The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a
number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly added amenities are: Pre-Primary
School, Engineering College, Medical College, Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-formal Training
Centre, Special School for Disabled, Community Health Centre, Veterinary Hospital, Mobile Health

the supervision of Shri S. Gopalakrishnan, IAS, Director of Census Operation, Tamil Nadu. The task of
Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant

the generation of Village Directory and Town Directory including various analytical inset tables as well as
