“…Institutional delivery has also had a positive relationship between education status as Figure 7 shows that those women were educated they mostly deliver in an institution as a similar study was conducted by Elo and concluded the same. 7 Albeit the institutional deliveries are an increasing trend in Indian and similarly deliverers in government settings are also growing and home delivery is reducing in the current survey which is depicted in Figure 5, but still, there is a higher percentage of the population still delivering in a private setting because of the caesarean section (CS) deliveries are more 12 As the proportion of CS deliveries are more common in the private sector it gives one indication that the private hospitals are more inclined towards CS deliveries and are most likely for money minting. It may also happen that the low level of CS deliveries in the public sector is an indication of a lack of competent health workforce in the form of specialists; both obstetricians and Anesthetists as well.…”

“…Hence, necessary steps need to be taken to deploy the required number of specialists so that CS deliveries could be conducted as and when needed. 4 The increase is very marginal between NFHS-3 and NFHS-4. The care given to the mother during her postpartum period by any health personnel within 24 hours of birth is much higher than in NFHS-3 when we compare NFHS-4 (Figure 2 and 6).…”

“…Needless to mention that compared to home deliveries institutional deliveries end up with more success without or minimal complications in a delivery outcome. 4 However, owing to a lack of resources in India practice of home deliveries was reduced during NFHS-4.

Motherhood is often claimed as the most positive and fulfilling experience. Nevertheless, there exist several women whose motherhood was associated with suffering, ill-health and even death. The condition is graver in few states of India which are socioeconomically backward (also called Empowered Action Group of states). The present study adopted a narrative description of various key indicators of maternal health as outlined in the NFHS-3 and NFHS-4 state reports. The prime focus was to examine whether the performance of those states has got better or worse in these two survey reports. The study has also discussed various factors related to the performance of each key indicator of maternal health. The overall limiting success of maternal health status in these states calls for improvement in execution of various maternal health related activities.

Gender equality and women empowerment have been on the top of the agenda globally. Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls has been mentioned by the United Nations in its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG-5) as a target. Various efforts and initiatives have been taken at global, regional and local level to eliminate gender inequality. Women in India have been stereotyped and discriminated since ancient times due to the patriarchal mindset. Social evils such as sati, purdah system, female foeticide, female infanticide, dowry, domestic violence have been faced by women. Various constitutional and legal provisions have been framed to eliminate such evils. In contemporary times, women have become sensitised about their rights and have come a long way in terms of women empowerment. Various schemes have been launched by central and state governments for emancipation of women. However, the patriarchal mindset still exists and gender biasness is still experienced by women both in public and private space. The paper attempts to analyse the level of women empowerment in different states of India. The study is based on the secondary data collected from various government sources. An analysis of the reasons responsible for the trends has also been done. It has been found in the study that female literacy has a positive bearing on the health and decision-making of females. Also, government support in the from of infrastructure and schemes act as a catalyst in women empowerment. Women-centric organisations and Self Help organisations have promoted economic empowerment and decision-making of females.
