Abstract
This volume is a crucial part of the 1931 Census of India, specifically dealing with the princely state of Travancore. It presents statistical tables and detailed demographic information from the census conducted in 1931, under the British rule. It provides rare insights into socio-economic patterns, housing tends, and administrative divisions before Indian independence. These tables were likely used by both British administration and local rulers for planning policy, resource allocation and urban development. This book is the primary source document for historians, demographers, and sociologists studying colonial Kerala.
