Abstract :

Every day innumerable information is generated and its dissemination plays an important role in the development of all the aspects of human activities. Though there are many information sources, women in the rural areas had very limited access to the media for acquiring the information on health and nutrition. Keeping this in view, the present study was conceived to identify the different sources of health and nutrition for rural women. Ex- Post facto research design was employed and the study was conducted in the Shamshabad Mandal of Ranga Reddy District, with the sample of 120 rural women from the four selected villages. Data was collected with the help of a structured schedule. Results revealed that family members, TV, anganwadi teachers, neighbhours were their major sources of health and nutritional information.
