Abstract
A present study was conducted on profile characteristics of tribal women on domestic water sanitation practices. For the study, based upon the nature of the research problem and objectives of the present study, experimental research design was selected. A total of 90 sample comprising 60 tribal women and 30 grass root level women extension personnel (Anganwadi workers) from three mandals of Adilabad district were selected using random sampling technique. The district of Adilabad was selected purposively as the tribes are densely populated when compared to the other districts of the state. Tribal mandals selected for the study were Rebbena, Tandur and Kerameri. Interview schedule was developed for data collection. Frequencies and percentages were used for data analysis. The results of the study were revealed that the primary water source was hand pump for drinking and household purposes, while pond and tap were secondary water sources which were available within a distance of a kilometer. 46.66 percent of the tribal women expressed that they fetched water more than 5 times a day for drinking and household use from water source, whereas in the case of Anganwadi, more than half of them fetched water less than 3 times a day.
