Abstract :

Utilisation of maternal health care services helps in reducing maternal and child mortality and improves the

reproductive health of women. Recent policy initiatives like RCH programme, JSY are expected to improve the utilisation of antenatal care services. ANC score has been computed by using the primary data on the ten ANC services collected from 240
respondents to estimate the extent of ANC services utilised and to study the socioeconomic determinants of ANC. Results of the study clearly
indicate the significant association between the ANC and the economic status of the respondents’ family. Improvement in economic status
ings improvement in the utilisation of ANC services. The education level of the respondent as well as the education level of her husband is
having greater influence on the ANC. The percentage of respondents in the poor ANC was found to be highest among the agriculture women
followed by the women who were doing labour work.
