The study was conducted in purposively selected two villages Kolayat and Jhajhu of Kolayat Panchayat Samiti of Bikaner district, Rajasthan. Fifty rural women (fifth class onwards) were selected randomly (25 from each village) by chit method. Pre and post experimental research design was used for present study. The overall readability of the Module I was found to be very good as the mean score obtained by respondents for overall readability of Module I (22.7) closer to maximum scores (score range 16-25) and overall readability of the Module II was found to be very good as the mean score obtained by respondents for overall readability of Module II (23.6) closer to maximum scores (score range 18-27). In Module I majority of the respondents (70%) were above mean scores while only 30 per cent respondents were below mean score and in Module II majority of the respondents (80%) were above mean scores while only 20 per cent respondents were below mean score. For overall comprehension of Module I obtained 35.85, from total score range (score range 26-38). The overall comprehension of Module I in terms of the title, key messages and illustrations was excellent as majority of the respondents (86%) were above mean score followed by below mean score (14%) and for overall comprehension of Module II obtained 45, from total score range (32-49).

Introduction: Information on disability is essential for the government to formulate policies, allocate adequate resources and implement appropriate programmes. The objective of this study was to measure the prevalence of disability and the estimation of distribution of disabilities by gender, advancing age, districts, geographical regions,work and marital status in the Uttar Pradesh.
Method: We analyzed the 2011 Census data of Uttar Pradesh. Age-adjusted disability rates and disability rates per 100 000 population were calculated.
Results: There were 4157514 individuals with disability in Uttar Pradesh in 2011 accounting for a disability rate of 2081 per 100 000 populations. The disability in hearing, seeing, and movement was most predominant with rates of 514, 382 and 339 per 100 000 respectively of the 71 districts, age-standardized disability rates in 20 districts were above the state average of 2081 per 100 000 population. In all kinds of disability there was mostly male predominance in both rural and urban areas across all agecategories.
Conclusion: About 2 in every 100 person in Uttar Pradesh (2080 per 100 000 persons) is either physically or mentally disabled. Disability rates reflect the overall health status of the population. Identification of the underlying causes and employing effective and focused preventive strategies will help to reduce the burden of disability and maximize the quality of life in Uttar Pradesh.
