PREFACE
The National Population Policy adopted by the Government of India in 2000 reiterates the governments commitment to the safe motherhood programmes within the wider context of reproductive health. Among the national socio-demographic goals for 2010 specified by the policy, several goals pertain to safe motherhood, namely that 80 percent of all deliveries should take place in institutions by 2010, 100 percent of deliveries should be attended by trained personnel, and the maternal mortality ratio should be reduced to a level below 100 per 100,000 live births. But the studies conducted in the country show that majority of the births more particularly in the rural areas are still delivered at home and India has to go a long way to achieve universlization of institutional deliveries. The present study examines the role of various socioeconomic, demographic and health related factors affecting the utilization of institutional services for Delivery and Health practices of Aligarh. The results indicate that receiving one or more antenatal check-ups is the strongest predictor of institutional delivery. This finding has important programme implications. It suggests that it is possible to promote institutional delivery by expanding antenatal care coverage and associated counseling. So the Case Study which was conducted in the Block was based on Home Delivery Practice and its effects.
