The large scale regional inequalities persist in women status India, few states are having quite respectable status of the women, rest are having very pathetic and miserable situation. The status of women and child health is very deprived in the India even less than few developed countries. India basically lacking in the Health infrastructure and trained man powers both More than 80 percent of pregnant women are suffering from anaemia which is the mother of the all women and child health problems. Despite of large welfare and equity policies a large scale regional disparities still persist at state level in case of both women and children. Human resource development of the country will be one of the important thrust and priority area of the government with having universal coverage and equal access.
