MOTIF

Theyyam or Theyyattam also known as Kaliyattam is a popular ritual dance of Kerala. The strongholds of this ancient art are the Northern parts of Kerala especially Kannur District. The evolution of Hindu religion from its primitive form can be traced to this dance form. It is a living cult with a tradition, rituals and customs going back to several centuries and embraces almost all castes and classes of Hindu Religion of this region.

The word Theyyam is a corrupt form of the Malayalam word Deivam which means God. It is a rare combination of dance and music and reflects important features of a tribal culture. According to the legendary Keralolpathy Parasurama sanctioned the festivals like Kaliyattam, Deviyattam or Theyyatam to the people of Kerala. The dances are traditionally performed by indegenious communities like Panan, Velan, Vannan, Malayan, Mavilan, Pulayan and Koppalan which are considered as depressed castes. The dance or Invocation is usually performed in front of village shrines or housesas ancestor workship with elaborate rites and rituals, for propitiating Gods and Goddesses to bless the family or community. There are Theyyamsof different manifestations of a deity, a historical, or a legendary figure. There is a close resemblance between the Theyyam Art and Kathakali in make up, costumes, and dance and musical instruments.

FOREWORD

The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of the CensusOrganization 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 1991Census 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 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 byincluding some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodities 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 byincluding 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 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 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.

PREFACE District Census Handbook is a unique publication brought out un-

interruptedly by the Census Organization since 1951 Census. The publication is widely used by Administrators, Planners, Demographers, Research Scholars and other data users. It contains village-wise and town-wise demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the district along with the status of availability of civic amenities, infrastructural facilities etc.

In earlier censuses, District Census Handbooks were published in single volume with two parts. Part-A of DCHB contained Village and Town Directory and Part B contained Village and Town Primary Census Abstract data for each district. But this time, it is published in two volumes separately for PartA and Part-B of each district without changing the nomenclature of DCHB of 2001. This volume contains the Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract(PCA) along with Housing Amenities data.

From 2001 Census onwards, the software designed/created by the Data Processing Division of the Office of the Registrar General, India has been used for generation of tables. It reduced considerably the time taken for preparation of the District Census Handbooks. District Census Handbooks are published in Electronic form (pdf files) for the first time during the current Census.

I express my deep gratitude to Dr. C. Chandramouli, Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, for his encouragement and valuable guidance for completion of this volume within a timeframe. I thank Shri Deepak Rastogi, Additional Registrar General (C&T), Shri A.P.Singh, Deputy Registrar General (Map), Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS) of Office of the Registrar General, India for their guidance at each step in the preparation of DCHB. Special thanks are due to Shri. M.S. Thapa, Additional Director (EDP), Shri Anil Kumar Arora, Joint Director (EDP) and Shri Anurag Gupta, DPA (EDP) without their untiring efforts and support, we could not have completed the District Census Handbooks within this time. They were always willing to listen to our requests and find solution for the problems we faced.

All Departments of the State Government co-operated in giving data for inclusion in the publication. I thank the District Collectors, Tahsildars of every Taluk and Secretaries of Municipal Corporations and Municipalities in the State who painstakingly collected and furnished all the information needed by us.

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.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT

The Travelogues by Pliny (23-79 AD), Periplus (1st Century AD), Ptolemy

(150 AD), Yuan Chwang (7th Century), Arab Merchants like Khurdabeh (844-848 AD) and Sulaiman (851 AD), Marco Polo (13th Century) and Ibn Batuta (1342-47) provide excellent description of the life and culture of the people of Malabar. The accounts of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British administrators also give an insight into the vivid features of this region. The ancient Tamil Works like Patittupattu, Agananuru, Purananuru, Chilappathikaram, etc., provide valuable data on Sangam age which covers the first few centuries of AD.

According to Sangam Literature, the present Kannur District formed from part of Poozhinad (which extended from Kozhikode to Kasaragod) and Karkanad (which covered Wayanad-Gudalore area). During Sangam Age this region was administered by the Ezhimala Kings with Ezhimala as the Capital of the Kingdom. Of the rulers of the Ezhimala Kingdom, Nannan was the most illustrious ruler under whom it reached the zenith of glory. He brought Wayanad, Gudalore and northern parts of Coimbatore under his control. Following these victories he made several endeavours to expand his territory. Nannans victorious career ended in his defeat. He was killed by Narmudicheral, a Chera ruler, in the Battle of Vakaiperumthurai. With this, Poozhinad came under the sway of Cheras. The later history of the Ezhimala Kingdom has gone into obscurity.

Very little is known of the Post-Sangam period covering the three centuries,

sixth to eighth. It is believed that the Mushaka Kings, the descendants of Nannan, were ruling this area when Chalukyas (543-755) and Mahakulas (598-610) made some successful conquest in North Kerala.

Early in the ninth century when Cheras re-established their political power in Kerala, the South-East part of Kannur District formed a part of the Chera Empire. The remaining portion of the district was under Mushaka Dynasty. King Sreekantha of the Mushaka Dynasty ruled this region towards the end of the 11th century.

By the fourteenth century the Mushaka Kingdom took the name Kolathunad and its ruler was styled as Kolathiri. The earliest reference to this kingdom is seen in the Travelogues of Marco Polo who visited Kerala towards the end of the 13th century. He describes the Kingdom of Eli, which is identical with Kolathunad. The jurisdiction of the kingdom extended from the Chandragiri River in the north to the Korappuzha in the south and from Kutakumala in the east to the Lakshadweep Sea in the west. At one time the principalities of Kumbla, Nileshwaram, Kottayam and Kadathanad formed part of Kolathunad. The famous rulers of this dynasty were Raaghava, Kerala Verma and Udaya Varman. At that time Kannur town and adjoining areas were under the control of Arackkal Rajas. The Kolathiris had to accept the suzerainty of Zamorin of Kozhikode, consequent on the incidence, which led to the love, elopement and matrimonial alliance of a prince of Kolathunad with a princess of the royal family of Zamorins. In the period of Kolathiris, Kottayam Rajas

10

acquired supremacy over the territory on the south-eastern tract of the present district. This royal house was divided into 3 branches, the eastern, the southern and the western. Of these the first two branches had their seat at Kottayam.

The political history of the district came into limelight in the 15th century. The voyage of Vasco Da Gama, the famous Portuguese Navigator during the close of the 15th century is an important landmark in the history of Kerala. His contact with the Kolathiris in August 1498at the latters invitation made it possible for him to have informal agreements on trade with Portugal. In 1505, the Portuguese established Kannur Fort and called it as St. Angelos Fort. The Portuguese could not sustain their influence for more than 150 years. Their fanatic policies against the local people made them very unpopular.

The next foreign power which entered into the political field was the Dutch. They captured Fort St. Angelos from the Portuguese in February 1663 and signed a treaty with Kolathiris on March 20, 1663. The Dutch followed a policy of religious tolerance.

The Mysorean invasion was another important event in the history of Kannur. In 1766 Haider Alis Forces attacked the palace of Kolathiri at Chirakkal and took possession of it. Later Haider appointed Prince Regent of Kolathunad as his representative to rule North Malabar. At the instance of Haider, Prince of Kolathunad assisted the French in retaining Mahe. But later when Haiders Forces were defeated by the British, the Local Chieftains of North Kerala gained confidence to resist Haider and overrun his garrisons in the region. Haider passed away in December 1782 and his son Tippu ascended Kannur and entered into a treaty with Arackkal Bibi. In the next year the British signed a treaty with Tippu at Mangalore by which they gave up their supremacy over the rulers of Malabar. Due to his unpopular policies people rose in revolt against Tippu. In 1789 Tippu came to Malabar for a second time and Local Chieftains and their followers took asylum in the Thalassery Fort. When Tippu was defeated by the British at Srirangapatanam in 1782, the whole of Malabar except Wayanad was ceded to the British. Thus the present Kannur District became a part of British Territory by the end of 18th century. The Mysorean invasions had resulted in political, social and economic changes. These attacks shattered the feudal system prevailing in this region and introduced a new system of governance of landed properties. Politically Malabar was divided into Northern and Southern administrative divisions and the headquarters of northern division was established at Thalassery. Malabar became a separate district in Madras Presidency on 21st May, 1800 and Major Maclaod took charge as the first Principal Collector on 1st October, 1801.

The history of the district is interwoven with the history of freedom struggle of North Kerala launched against the British by the heroic personality of Kerala Varma Raja, known as Pazhassi Raja. The first Pazhassi Revolt (1793-97) and the second revolt (1800-05) were memorable movements organised bya man of superb ability and amazing popularity. Though Pazhassi was defeated by the British, his struggle later inspired the freedom movement. As a part of the national movement for freedom and independence a branch of the All India Home Rule League was established at Thalassery in 1916.

The important political events of the district, which made indelible political events of the freedom movement, were the Third Malabar District Political

11

Conference (1923) at Thalassery, the Fourth All Kerala Conference at Payyannur (1928), Salt Satyagraha at Payyannur Beach (April 21, 1930) and subsequent arrest of Kelappan followed by agitations, North Malabar District Conference (June 15, 1932), Civil Disobedience Movements during 1932-34, rise of Muslim League and Communist Party (1937) and Quit India Movement (1942). The impact of these movements had their influence on the polity of Kerala. When States Reorganisation Act of 1956 was implemented Malabar became a part of newly formed Kerala State on November 1st, 1956. On 1st January, 1957 three new districts, namely, Kannur, Kozhikode and Palghat were formed out of Malabar District. Along with the formation of districts, taluks were also reorganised. The erstwhile Kasaragod Taluk was bifurcated into Kasaragod and Hosdurg taluks, Chirakkal Taluk into Kannur and Taliparamba taluks and Wayanad Taluk into North Wayanad and South Wayanad taluks. Kottayam Taluk was renamed as Thalassery Taluk. Kannur District was formed consisting of Kasaragod, Hosdurg, Taliparamba, Kannur, Thalassery, North Wayanad and South Wayanad taluks. South Wayanad Taluk was transferred to Kozhikode District in 1957. After formation of Wayanad District in 1980, Kannur District remained with five taluks namely Kasaragod, Hosdurg, Taliparamba, Kannur, and Thalassery. In 1984, when Kasaragod District was formed, the two northern taluks of Kasaragod and Hosdurg were taken away.

Kannur was known as Cannanore, the anglicised form of the Malayalam word till 1991 Census. The present Kannur District is bound on the north by Hosdurg Taluk of Kasaragod District, in the east by Karnataka State and on the southern boundaries by Mananthavady Taluk of Wayanad, Vadakara Taluk of Kozhikode and Mahe of Pondicherry. On the west lies the Lakshadweep Sea.

ADMINISTRATIVE SETUP

There are two systems of administrative setup in the district: (i) Revenue and (ii) Local Self Government. Under the revenue system the district is divided into Revenue Divisions, Taluks and Villages. However, for Local Administration, the district is divided into Statutory Towns and Panchayats. For the implementation of developmental activities Panchayats are grouped under Community Development Blocks, which are now block panchayaths. Therefore all these units viz. Taluks, Villages, Panchayats, Panchayat Wards, Statutory Towns, their wards and Community Development Blocks have their own relevance and importance. This Handbook contains data for all these units.

Under the revenue system of administration, the district is divided into 3

taluks viz. Taliparamba, Kannur and Thalassery. There are 129 revenue villages in the district, out of which, as per Census 2011, 56 revenue villages are in rural and 13 revenue villages falling in 7 Statutory Towns and 60 revenue villages turned Census Towns.

Under the Local Self Government system, there are 7 Statutory Towns (6

Municipalities and 1 Cantonment Board) and 81 Panchayats coming under 9 Development Blocks. Census Towns being basically rural, the jurisdiction of Community Development Block (Block Panchayath) includes areas falling in Census Towns also.

The distribution of Villages, Towns, Community Development Blocks and Panchayats in each taluk is given below:

JURISDICTIONAL CHANGES DURING THE DECADE 2001-2011

In census terminology, jurisdictional changes include inter intra district

transfer of area, formation of new administrative units, changes in administrative status of units, changes in names of administrative units, bifurcation of administrative units, declassification/classification of administrative units etc. As far as the District Kannur is concerned, no change in administrative units in name, down to the level of village/ town / CD block / Panchayat happened in the district during the decade. But changes happened at Panchayat ward and Statutory Town ward level. As regards classification, 22 rural villages have been classified as new CTs. No declassification of town happened in this district during the decade.

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 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

21

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.

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 alongwith 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

22

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 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:

23

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 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.
