Through National Rural Health Mission extensive focus has been made on institutional delivery services in order to develop millennium development goals no 1, 4 and 52.In the process of utilization of health care particularly with respect to institutional delivery there are many challenges, and that increases to many fold if it is related to addressing the challenges related to tribal areas. The study explores the barriers to institutional delivery at tribal areas.

Methods: Random sampling technique was adopted for the selection of blocks of the district. Qualitative methodology was adopted for the collection of data.
