PREFACE 

                The present issue of the District Statistical Handbook seeks to provide statistical information on various socio-economic aspects of the district in a compact form. Attempts have been made to incorporate up-to-date information so that continuity of the time series of the data published in earlier issues is maintained. Data at the Block level have also been incorporated as far as available, so that those could be effectively used by planners, policymakers and researchers.

                I express my gratitude to the different offices situated in the district for active co-operation received from their end in timely supply of data. I like to put in my appreciation to the officials of the Handbook, Co-ordination & Nucleus (Compilation) units of the Head Office and  District  office of the Bureau of Applied Economics &   Statistics for their sincere and sustained effort in bringing out the publication.

                Suggestions for any improvement of the publication will be highly appreciated.
