India has been experiencing noticeable disparity in terms of accessing maternal health care services at state level as well as within a state which is very prominent in most of the states of India. The focus of the study is on quantifying the coverage of maternal health care services existing in 33 different districts of Assam, a state in North Eastern Region of the country. A composite index known as MHCI (Maternal Health Care Index) is constructed through some indicators that reflect the maternal health care based on the secondary data for this purpose. The distributional structure of the composite index MHCI has been recognized to facilitate the classification of the districts based on the available maternal health services. Finally, the districts experiencing Very Poor Level of Maternal Health Care Facility are identified and probable factors responsible for such depressing condition are discussed. The findings of the study in the selected districts will be of great help for such deplorable conditions among the pregnant women so as to provide the benefits in a larger extend and with proper monitoring.
