The caesarean delivery rate is 50%.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">Majority of the women belonged to group 1(28.9%) and 3(24.3%).Highest caesarean delivery rate(CDR) &nbsp;is in group 5 and is 98.1%. There is a very high CDR observed in group 1(30%) and 3(19.3%).<b>Conclusion</b>:</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">The TGCS is useful to compare and analyse the caesarean deliveries within and between the health facilities as recommended by&nbsp; WHO.&nbsp; Reduction in caesarean rates decreases the morbidity in the mothers and &nbsp;ensures proper utilization of the resources.Improving the infrastructure and manpower will possibly ingdown the prevailing high caesarean rate in our hospital.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
