Methods A community-based cross-sectional study will be conducted in the rural area around all the sub-centers of Wardha District. A semi-structured questionnaire will be used to assess the sociodemographic profile and associated factors, namely, service delivery, service provision, and facility assessment. Study implications This study will help formulate policies that will inculcate grass-root-level health care services to gain insight into how much services need to be improved and its implications for everyone in the community.
