AbstractHealthy health is a dynamics of human life. Health status of any population has tremendous effect in nation’s development. Women are the core of population. Their health status plays a major role for the birth of healthy child. Indian population has major segment of the tribals in which Madhya Pradesh is one of the tribal dominated states. Most of the tribals reside in remote areas and unhygienic conditions with lack of proper health care facilities. Available studies indicate that availability, feasibility and utility of health care facilities are not in satisfactory form especially in tribals. For the strengthening of tribal women, it is necessary to have basic information regarding their health status. The present study has been carried out on 207 Korku tribal women of Betul district, Madhya Pradesh. Their health status including malnutrition and blood pressure has been assessed whereas reproductive performance has been enumerated through pregnancy by pregnancy details. The present study revealed that the nutritional profile of Korku women was in satisfactory form. The fertility rate is low as compared to the rural Madhya Pradesh. Majority of women have been sterilized and have awareness towards pre and post natal care and the performance of health worker in the concerned village was satisfactory.
