Results– Of all the delivering patients  in 12 % of patients labor was induced.  54.71 %patients of induced labor delivered vaginally and 45.28% patients undergone caesarean section. Maximum number of induction of labor was done at gestational age of 37–40 weeks. Most common indication of induction of labor was postdatism/ postmaturity( (12.7%)followed by preeclampsia(12,5%). Most common method of induction of labor was with Misoprostol ( 40.4%).commonest indication of  caesarean section among these patients was acute fetal distress.
