ABSTRACT

Over the few decades man has literally conquered the "Everest" of advanced Technology. However still the indicator of prosperity and happiness of any community is judged by its health index and not merely by its materialistic advancement. Furthermore the overall health index of any community is governed by the health of the women in that community, Thus special attention should be provided to maintain a healthy womanhood.
