Work experience of ASHAs in Ujjain Division was less than 5 years amongst almost 76% as compare to Indore division where it was 53% only. In Ujjain division 150 (31. 91 %) ASHAs were not trained in first four modules of ASHA training as compared to 12.15 % (62) ASHA from Indore division. The satisfaction level between Indore and Ujjain divisions were different with a higher satisfaction level in Indore division as compared to Ujjain division ASHAs. p value< 0.05.
