Caesarean section (CS) is a surgical procedure which is always helpful to both mother as well as child. Further when if performed in private sector (even in government sector), we can not ignore its economic implications in terms of operative charges, cost of drugs, prolonged hospital stay and loss of wages of the patient as well as the attending family members.

Majority of mothers (98.4%) were not given a choice to decide mode of delivery. Majority of women (97.3 %) preferred vaginal delivery over CS for successive pregnancy. Majority of CS were done on emergency base (86.3%). trial of labour tried only in 63.3 percent cases. It was concluded that CS rates observed in present study was very high.
