Usually a structure will have four walls and a roof. Sometimes it is made up of more than one component unit which are used or likely to be used as dwellings (residences) or establishments such as shops, business houses, offices, factories, workshops, work sheds, Schools, places of entertainment, places of worship, godowns, stores etc. It is also possible that building which have component units may be used fora combination of purposes such as shop- cum-residence, workshop-cum-residence, office-cum-residence etc. But in some areas the very nature of construction of houses is such that there may not be any wall. Such is the case of conical structures where entrance is also provided but they may not have any walls. Therefore, such of the conical structures are also treated as separate buildings. Pucca houses: Houses, the walls and roof of which are made of permanent materials. The material of walls can be anyone from the following, namely, Stones(duly packed with lime or cement mortar), G.I/metal/asbestos sheets, Burnt bricks, Cement bricks, Concrete. Roof may be made of from any one of the following materials, namely, Machine-made tiles, Cement tiles, Burnt bricks, Cement bricks, Stone, Slate, G.I/Metal/Asbestos sheets, Concrete. Such houses are treated as Pucca house. Kutcha houses: Houses in which both walls and roof are made of materials, which have to be replaced frequently. Walls may be made from any one of the following temporary materials, namely, grass, Unburnt bricks, bamboos, mud ,grass ,reeds, thatch, plastic /polythene, loosed packed stone, etc. Such houses are treated as Kutcha house. Dwelling Room: A room is treated as a dwelling room if it has walls with a doorway and a roof and should be wide and long enough for a person to sleep in, i.e. it should have a length of not less than 2 meters and a breadth of atleast 1.5 meters and a height of 2 meters. A dwelling room would include living room, bedroom, dining room, drawing room, study room, servant’s room and other habitable rooms. Kitchen, bathroom, latrine, store room, passageway and verandah which are not normally usable for living are not considered as dwelling rooms. A room, used for multipurpose such as sleeping, sitting, dining, storing, cooking, etc., is regarded as a dwelling room. In a situation where a census house is used as a shop or office., etc., and the household also stays in it then the room is not considered as a dwelling room. But if a garage or servant quarter is used by a servant and if she/ he also lives in it as a separate household then this has been considered as a dwelling room available to the servant’s household. Tent or conical shaped hut if used for living by any household is also considered as dwelling room. A dwelling room, which is shared by more than one household, has not been counted for any of them. If two households have a dwelling room each but in addition also share a common dwelling room, then the common room has not been counted for either of the households. i Census House: A ‘census house’ is a building or part of a building used or recognized as a separate unit because of having a separate main entrance from the road or common courtyard or staircase, etc. It may be occupied or vacant. It may be used for residential or non- residential purpose or both. If a building has a number of Flats or Blocks/Wings, which are independent of one another having separate entrances of their own from the road or a common staircase or a common courtyard leading to a main gate, these are considered as a separate Census house. Village: The basic unit for rural areas is the revenue village, which has definite surveyed boundaries. The revenue village may comprise of one or more hamlets but the entire village is treated as one unit for presentation of data. In unsurveyed areas, like villages within forest areas, each habitation area with locally recognized boundaries is treated as one village. Rural-Urban area: The data in the census are presented separately for rural and urban areas. The unit of classification in this regard is ‘town’ for urban areas and ‘village’ for rural areas. The urban area comprises two types of towns viz; Statutory towns and Census towns. In the Census of India 2011, the definition of urban area adopted is as follows: (a) Statutory Towns: All places with a municipality, corporation, cantonment board or notified town area committee, etc are known as statutory towns. (b)Census owns: All other places satisfying the following three criteria simultaneously are treated as Census Towns. i) A minimum population of 5,000; ii) At least 75 per cent of male working population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits; and iii) A density of population of at least 400 persq. km. (1,000 per sq. mile) For identification of places which would qualify to be classified as ‘urban’ all villages, which, as per the2001 Census had a population of 4,000 and above, a population density of 400 persons per sq. km. and having at least 75 per cent of male working population engaged in non-agricultural activity were considered. To workout the proportion of male working population referred to above against b) (ii), the data relating to main workers were taken into account. In addition the above stated towns, urban areas also constitutes of OGs which are the parts of UAs. Urban Agglomeration: An Urban Agglomeration is a continuous urban spread constituting a town and its adjoining urban out growths (OGs) or two or more physically contiguous towns together with or without urban outgrowths of such towns. In some cases, railway colonies, university campuses, port areas, military camps etc; may come up near a statutory town outside its statutory limits but within the revenue limits of a village or villages contiguous to the town. Each such individual area by itself may not satisfy the minimum population limit to qualify it to be treated as an independent urban unit but may qualify to be clubbed with the exiting town as their continuous urban spread (i.e., an Out Growth).Each such town together with its outgrowth(s) is treated as an integrated urban area and is designated as an ‘urban ii agglomeration’. For the purpose of delineation of Urban Agglomerations during Census of India 2011, following criteria has been adopted: (a) The core town or at least one of the constituent towns of an urban agglomeration should necessarily be a statutory town; and (b) The total population of an Urban Agglomeration (i.e. all the constituents put together) should not be less than 20,000 as per the 2001 Census.In varying local conditions, there were similar other combinations which have been treated as urban agglomerations satisfying the basic condition of contiguity. Out Growth (OG): The outgrowth is a viable unit such as a village or a hamlet or an enumeration block and clearly identifiable in terms of its boundaries and location. While determining the outgrowth of a town, it has been ensured that it possesses the urban features in terms of infrastructure and amenities such as pucca roads, electricity, taps, drainage system for disposal of waste water etc., educational institutions, post offices, medical facilities, banks etc and physically contiguous with the core town of the UA. City: Towns with population of 100,000 and above are called cities. Household: A ‘household’ is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from doing so. Persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of unrelated persons live in a census house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of a common household. Each such person was to be treated as a separate household. The important link in finding out whether it was a household or not was a common kitchen/common cooking. There may be one member households, two member households or multi- member households. Institutional Household: A group of unrelated persons who live in an institution and take their meals from a common kitchen is called an Institutional Household. Examples of Institutional Households are boarding houses, messes, hostels, hotels, rescue homes, observation homes, beggars homes, jails, ashrams, old age homes, children homes, orphanages, etc. To make the definition more clearly perceptible to the enumerators at the Census 2011, it was specifically mentioned that this category or households would cover only those households wherea group of unrelated persons live in an institution and share a common kitchen. Houseless household :Households who do not live in buildings or census houses but live in the open or roadside, pavements, inhume pipes, under flyovers and staircases, or in the open in places of worship, mandaps, railway platforms, etc., are treated as Houseless Households. iii Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes:- The list of SCs and STs applicable in the State is given here under:- List of Scheduled Castes : – Census 2011 Sr. Name of Scheduled Castes Sr. No. Name of Scheduled Castes No. Agariya (excluding Chamar, Dhusia ,Jhusia, 1 24 Sonbhadra district) Jatava Chero (excluding Sonbhadra 2 Badhik 25 and Varanasi district) 3 Badi 26 Dabgar 4 Baheliya 27 Dhangar Baiga (excluding Sonbhadra 5 28 Dhanuk district) 6 Baiswar 29 Dharkar 7 Bajaniya 30 Dhobi 8 Bajgi 31 Dom 9 Balahar 32 Domar 10 Balai 33 Dusadh 11 Balmiki 34 Gharami 12 Bangali 35 Ghasiya Gond (excluding Mahrajganj, Siddharth Nagar, Basti, Gorakhpur Deoria, Mau, 13 Banmanus 36 Azamgarh, Jaunpur, Ballia, Ghazipur, Varanasi,Mirzapur and Sonbhadra districts) 14 Bansphor 37 Gual 15 Barwar 38 Habura 16 Basor 39 Hari 17 Bawariya 40 Hela 18 Beldar 41 Kalabaz 19 Beriya 42 Kanjar 20 Bhantu 43 Kapariya Bhuiya (excluding 21 44 Karwal Sonbhadra district) 22 Bhuyiar 45 Khairaha Kharwar [excluding Benbansi (Excluding Deoria, Ballia, 23 Boria 46 Ghazipur, Varanasi, and Sonbhadra districts)] iv Sr. Name of Scheduled Castes No. 47 Khatik List of Scheduled Tribes :-Census 2011 48 Khorot 49 Kol 50 Kori Sr. No. Name of Scheduled Tribes 51 Korwa 52 Lalbegi 1 Bhotia 53 Majhwar 2 Buksa 54 Mazhabi 3 Jaunsari 55 Musahar 4 Raji 56 Nat 5 Tharu Gond(Dhuria, Nayak, Ojha, Pathari, and Raj Gond as its synonyms)(in district of Pankha (excluding Maharajganj, Siddharth Nagar, 57 Sonbhadra and Mirzapur 6 Basti, Gorakhpur Deoria, Mau, districts) Azamgarh, Jaunpur, Ballia, Ghazipur, Varanasi,Mirzapur and Sonbhadra) Kharwar, Khairwar (in district Parahiya (excluding 58 7 of Deoria, Balia, Ghazipur, Sonbhadra district) Varanasi and Sonbhadra) Saharya (in the district 59 Pasi, Tarmali 8 Lalitpur ) Patari (excluding Parahiya (in district of 60 9 Sonbhadra district) Sonbhadra) 61 Rawat 10 Baiga (in district of Sonbhadra) Saharya (excluding Lalitpur Pankha, Panika (in the district 62 11 district) of Sonbhadra and Mirzapur) Agariya (in district of 63 Sanaurhiya 12 Sonbhadra) Patari (in district of 64 Sansiya 13 Sonbhadra) Chero (in the district of 65 Shilpkar 14 Sonbhadra and Varanasi) Bhuiya, Bhuinya(in the district 66 Turaiha 15 of Sonbhadra) Language and Mother tongue: As per the census concept, each language is a group of mother tongues. The census questionnaire collects information on the mother tongue of each person. Mother tongue is the language spoken in childhood by the person’s mother to the person. If the mother died in infancy, the language mainly spoken in the person’s home in childhood will be the mother tongue. In the case of infants and deaf mutes, the language usually spoken by the mother is considered as mother tongue. It is not necessary that the language spoken as mother tongue should have a script. The mother v tongues returned by the respondents in census are classified and grouped under appropriate languages according to their linguistic characteristics. Literate: A person aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with understanding in any language is taken as literate. A person who can only read but cannot write is not literate. It is not necessary that to be considered as literate, a person should have received any formal education or passed any minimum educational standard. Literacy could have been achieved through adult literacy classes or through any non-formal educational system. People who are blind and can read in Braille are treated as literates. Literacy rate: Literacy rate of the population is defined as the percentage of literates in the age-group seven years and above. For different age-groups the percentage of literates in that age-group gives the literacy rate. Educational level: The highest level of education a person has completed. Work: Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation maybe physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. It even includes part time help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity. All persons engaged in ‘work’ as defined above are workers. The main point to note is that the activity should be economically productive. Reference period for determining a person as worker and non-worker is one year preceding the date of enumeration. Main worker: A person who has worked for major part of the reference period (i.e. six months or more during the last one year preceding the date of enumeration) in any economically productive activity is termed as ‘Mainworker’. Marginal worker: A person who worked for 3 months or less but less than six months of the reference period (i.e. in the last one year preceding the date of enumeration) in any economic activity is termed as ‘Marginal worker’. Non-worker: A person who has not worked at all in any economically productive activity during the reference period (i.e. last one year preceding the date of enumeration) is termed as ‘Non worker’. Cultivator: For purposes of the Census, a person is classified as cultivator if he or she is engaged in cultivation of land owned or from government or from private persons or institutions for payment in money, kind or share. Cultivation also includes effective supervision or direction in cultivation. Cultivation involves ploughing, sowing, harvesting and production of cereals and millet crops such as wheat, paddy, jowar, bajra, ragi, etc., and other crops such as sugarcane, tobacco, ground-nuts, tapioca, etc., and pulses, raw jute and kindred fiber crop, cotton, cinchona and other medicinal plants, fruit growing, vegetable growing or keeping orchards or groves, etc. Cultivation does not include the plantation crops like– tea, coffee, rubber, coconut and betel vi
