Abstract:
An investigation in to the differential attitude of village women in
Kerala towards the ANP was conducted in the N. E. S. blocks of Trivandrum
District, where ANP was implemented 350 participants of the ANP camps
formed the respondents of the study. The attitude was measured by using a
scale specifically developed by the authors for this purpose. The analysis of
the data revealed that the attitude of respondents is generally favourable towards
ANP. Education, age, previous knowledge about the programme, previous
participation in ANP camps etc. have positive influence on creating a favourable
attitude towards the programme. It is also found that favourable attitude is
a prerequisite for the effective participation in the ANP.
