This thesis titled "Understanding Social Exclusion in Reproductive Health

Care": A Sociological Study of Papumpare District, Arunachal Pradesh is being

submitted to Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono-Hills, Doimukh-791112, Arunachal

Pradesh, India for the fulfillment of degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology. It

consists of the research study work carried out by me in the selected areas of

Papumpare district, Arunachal Pradesh, India. The thesis has been divided and

explained through six different chapters.

I have tried to find the issue of exclusion in Reproductive Health Care in the

study area as against the health policies and programs being implemented by the state

government to improve reproductive health. The thesis has made an attempt with its

findings and recommendations and put efforts to make a substantive contribution

towards involving inclusive reproductive health services in the study area, which I'm

sure will help in long way in contributing to the future health policies in Arunachal

Pradesh.

The present research includes 5 numbers of chapters. Chapter I provide

information on the introduction to exclusion and reproductive health care, global,

Indian and state views on RH and general health facilities. It has briefing on

background and significance of the study. Along with this the chapter has

comprehensively covered the methodological framework of the study. It has a detail

of ethnographic profile of the studied community. The chapter also has focused on

review of literature where extensive.
