Review article on study on delivery practices among the women

Safe delivery is defined as institutional deliveries plus deliveries conducted at home but by skilled staff and do not include deliveries by trained birth attendant (dais). Reproductive health and basic health infrastructure and services often do not reach the villages and thus vast numbers of people cannot avail of these services.Many other 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 the universalization of institutional deliveries. Maternal education is considered as most important factor in determining women’s delivery care seeking behavior. However, education of mothers may not maintain its effects across all levels of education and social settings.
