KODAIKANAL
Kodaikanal is a hilly town in Dindigul district. Nestling amidst the Palani

hills, Kodaikanal is a famous hill resort in South India. It is situated at an
altitude of 2133 metres above the sea level.
The early Christian Missionaries, who did pioneering work in the field
of education in several parts of south India, nurtured Kodaikanal as a pleasant
summer resort and developed it into both a tourist spot and a centre of education
for European Christians, in particular, during those days.
Kodaikanal is a veritable treasure house of forest products. Flowers of

varied colour grow here unaffected by the invasion of man. It is a nursery of
many varieties of roses not found elsewhere in the country. Cut flowers with
their long stalks are regularly exported.

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
(i)
Clinic, Medical Practitioner with MBBS Degree, Medical Practitioner with no degree, Traditional Practitioner

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.
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.
The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled and computerized under
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
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

structure for digitization and validity checking of Village and Town Directory data and the programme for
the generation of Village Directory and Town Directory including various analytical inset tables as well as
