Based on primary data for 180 households, from Mukatsar district of Punjab, this paper analyses. the reproductive health status of scheduled castes and Jat-Sikh women. A Reproductive Health Index (RHI) is computed from a series of reproductive health indicators (antenatal care, contraceptive use, birth interval, number of children, skilled help at time of delivery, pre-natal mishaps and infant mortality). Almost half (46.1 percent) of SCs had low R.H.S. as compared to just one fourth (27.0 percent) of fat Sikh from medium cultivating families. The SCs and Jat-Sikh women from small cultivating families had almost same reproductive health status but Jat-Sikh medium cultivating women were certainly better placed. More than caste it was the economic status and age of women, which was regulating their Reproductive Health Status (RHS). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
