Block Level Statistics Kasargode District (Kerala)

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 Kasargode district was prepared by the Officers and Staff of the Cannanore district office (Economics and Statistics) and the publication and co-ordination division of this department. Shri G. G. Netto, Research Assistant and Smt. Ambika, U. D. Compiler of the Administrative Intelligence Unit of the Directorate took much pains in compiling and scrutinising the data.
