Block Level Statistics Ernakulam District

Abstract

From Preface: Though the idea of block level planning was mooted in the country years back it was given a new orientation after the implementation of Integrated Rural Development Programme (I.R.D.P.) in April 1978. It was realised that for the proper implementation of the I.R.D. programme detailed planning for the target group is necessary and this can be attempted meaningfully under the umbrella of a block plan. To facilitate decentralised planning the Department of Economics and Statistics is now engaged in building up block level data in each district. The present report relating to Ernakulam District was prepared by the officers and staff of the Ernakulam District Office (Economies and Statistics) and the publication and coordination division of this Directorate. Shri C.G. Netto, Research Assistant, Smt. S. K. Ambika and Shri C. Somarajan, Compilers of the Administrative Intelligence Unit took much pains in compiling and scrutinising the data.
