An attempt to assess the Indian Population Project which was launched in Uttar Pradesh in 1973 to provide maternal and @entity1 health services to Project districts. The trend in performance of @entity27127 services since the beginning of the project is assessed, and @entity27127 performance of project districts with matching nonprojects districts is compared. Taking 1 project district and various neighboring nonproject districts, the absolute deviation between them on each of several variables was computed. Under the @entity27127 program, 4 types of services are available. Under antenatal services, @entity1 are provided @entity116 toxoide immunizations and periodic health checkups. Under ante- and postnatal services @entity68 and @entity1501 tablets are distributed and the delivery is attended by trained personnel. For @entity1 care, DPT and DT immunizations are provided and @entity68 and @entity1501 tablets and @entity904 solution are provided. Indices to assess program services were computed for 1974-75 to 1978-79. Results indicate that the project districts had improved their work of antenatal registrations by almost 3 times more in relation to nonproject districts. About 21% of deliveries in the project districts were conducted by project staff in 1977-78 compared to only 3% in 1974-75, an increase of 7 times, while in matching nonproject districts the increase was from 3.7% to about 10% over the same period. The percentage of @entity1 receiving immunization was higher in the project districts. Overall maternal beneficiaries in project districts were 20-60% higher, and @entity1 beneficiaries 10-40% higher.
