Abstract

Health is considered to be the most significant factor that triggers building of a nation. Factors related to health are the prime concern of research for medical and social researchers. The status of health among the rural population of India needs attention, and under this backdrop the present study has aimed at exploring the reproductive performance among villagers of Birsingha Gram, Ghatal under Midnapore District, in West Bengal, India. We tried to understand some of the determinants of reproductive health such as: Age at menarche, marriage, conception and childbirth as well as desired no. of children, gender preference and other health care practices. All these factors affect women’s reproductive health, which in turn affects the wellbeing of their families and overall economic growth of the nation. A total of 300 responses were taken into consideration for the present study.
