Reproductive health is to be seen in the perspective of the process of structural- functional approaches, and accordingly, solutions are to be evolved, so that, Baiga community's reproductive health status and the Baiga males' involvement in it, could be consolidated. At the same time, their economic, mental, and physical dimensions of life are strengthened and developed. As human reproductive health constitutes a holistic structural- functional perspective, to improve it also is mandatorily needed a need-based holistic intervention, so that first the Baiga community's structural position is strengthened. Thereafter, the strengthened structural position might find impetus for functions so that for all the time the holistic progression of the society is multiplied. In this regard, to meet from my doctoral research work among the Baiga tribe of Chhattisgarh, India, the three major structural needs, in Baiga community, three different kinds of interventional developmental activities have to be carried out on the following model, which, to enumerate ; 1.Infrastructural interventions 2.Structural intervention and 3.Super structural interventions.

Abstract


Reproductive health is to be seen in the perspective of the process of structural- functional approaches, and accordingly, solutions are to be evolved, so that, Baiga community's reproductive health status and the Baiga males' involvement in it, could be consolidated. At the same time, their economic, mental, and physical dimensions of life are strengthened and developed. As human reproductive health constitutes a holistic structural- functional perspective, to improve it also is mandatorily needed a need-based holistic intervention, so that first the Baiga community's structural position is strengthened. Thereafter, the strengthened structural position might find impetus for functions so that for all the time the holistic progression of the society is multiplied. In this regard, to meet from my doctoral research work among the Baiga tribe of Chhattisgarh, India, the three major structural needs, in Baiga community, three different kinds of interventional developmental activities have to be carried out on the following model, which, to enumerate ; 1.Infrastructural interventions 2.Structural intervention and 3.Super structural interventions.
