Children are the future of any country.

Undernourished women tend to deliver low birth weight babies (Karmer, 1987) and to have pregnancy complications (Baird, 1947). Perinatal mortality and prematurity rates were found to be high among short statured women (Barros, 1987).

In the last decade, several international and national movements have focused their attention, on the long neglected areas of women's reproductive health.

In India tribals are neglected a lot, discriminated in terms of income distribution and social status.

There is a growing recognition that gynaecological morbidity is an important health problem among poor women in India.
