The main aim of the paper is to find out differential impact of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) on reproductive health indicators of rural eligible women (15-49) in the Tribal and Non-Tribal. It is observed that women respondents in the age groups 15-24 accounted for 46.4 per cent and 45.8 per cent between the age group of 25-34. A major proportion of eligible women respondents have got married before the age of 18 years in Tribal (41.6%) and Non-Tribal (43.3%). Of the 360 women respondents, as many as 234 (65%) received the first ante-natal checkup within three months of pregnancy and 126 (35%) received the same after three months. The home deliveries are among Tribal women (23.3%) compared to Non-Tribal (10%) women very low among Non-Tribal women sample (10%). This analysis brings out that there exists wide disparity between Tribal and Non-Tribal women particularly on the reproductive health status of women in the study area. All this calls for a suitable policy intervention by the government both at the State and Centre.
