Health of Indian women is closely related to the socio-economic status of the households to which they belong and their age and kinship/marital status within the households. Health is a vital component of I human capital and human resources. Women constituting 50 percent of the world's human resources play an important role in the socio-economic development of nation. Hence development strategies and policies must focus on the physical and mental wellbeing of women along with their male counterparts. Physical status and wellbeing of women are indicated by maternal mortality (MMR) and morbidity rates, infant mortality rates (IMRs) life expectancy, fertility rates, work participation rates age at marriage malnutrition etc.
