Poverty is a social problem where a section of society is unable to meet even the basic needs (food, clothes, shelter, education etc) of life. Therefore, the Government of India launched the National Rural Livelihoods Mission in 2010. It aims to reach out to poor families, link them to sustainable livelihoods opportunities and help them to come out of poverty. Panchayati Raj Institutions are expected to play an important role in implementing and monitoring various developmental programmes. So it is necessary to ascertain the knowledge of PRI members about NRLM scheme and their role performance in implementation and monitoring of NRLM scheme. Descriptive research design was used and data was collected from two blocks each of four districts of Punjab state. Forty elected Zilla Parishad members, forty eight Panchayat Samiti members and ninety six Gram Panchayat members were selected from twenty four villages. Data collected through self-structured interview schedule was also analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean score and one way ANOVA. It revealed that majority of PRI members were not knowledgeable about different aspects of the NRLM scheme. More percentage of Zilla Parishad than Panchayat Samiti and Gram Panchayat were knowledgeable about their expected roles. Majority of the Zilla Parishad members who were knowledgeable about their expected roles were performing their roles. Thus, the extent of actual role performance by Zilla Parishad members under the scheme was more than those of other levels.Keywords

In every country women are the back bone of the society. Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being and an essential part of all irrespective of age, caste, creed, race, religion and economic standard. In India utilization of basic health services are very poorly due to less household income, higher illiteracy and ignorance and a host of traditional factors. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge level of the selected rural women regarding health practices. Descriptive research design was conducted. The study was carried out in Allahabad district of Uttar Pradesh during the year of 2013-14. Chaka block was selected purposively from which four villages were selected purposively. Thirty women from each village were selected randomly. Thus the total sample size comprised of 120. The data was tabulated and analyzed with the help of statistical techniques like frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and correlation co-efficient. It is concluded that most of the respondents were having medium level of knowledge. A significant positive association is found between age and knowledge level of respondents. Middle age group respondents have more knowledge than any other age groups. A positive significant association is found between education and knowledge level. Upto primary class respondents have more knowledge than other respondents.Keywords
