There are several social, religious and economic barriers that prevent pregnant women from seeking services from health facilities. The conventional economic views promotes that the government health facilities located in rural areas provide free antenatal care (ANC), delivery and postnatal care (PNC) services, yet the cost related to medicines, transportation and surgical operations in the case of complications discourages poor women to seek services from these facilities. This economic view may explain part of the puzzle yet social stigma generated through patriarchal structure deserves some credit. For instance, a prevalent perception among male is that pregnancy is a natural process for women and it will pass normally and thus no extra care and support is needed in this phase of life. Men (and sometimes along with women) promote superstitions like not taking much food during pregnancy arguing that extra feeding shall increase the growth of the fetus and will affect normal delivery. The disarray in health seeking behaviour is strongly associated with inferior status of girls and women in Bangladesh. This is mainly due to entrenched dysfunctional gender relations brought about by dated social and cultural practices and is reinforced by literalist interpretations of religious tomes. Overriding all of these, the poor rural woman is treated as if her body and her future are not hers to own and manage. Naturally, this has a trickle down effect on any health-seeking behaviour of women. Based on empirical evidences this paper aims to explore the health situation of rural pregnant women and their health support seeking behaviour

This study aims to investigate the impact of conservation farming technologies on yield per hectare, cost per hectare and profit per hectare and ultimately on poverty. This study was carried out in the ecological region II a, which covers the central belt of Zambia. A total of 220 households were selected randomly who were using both conservation farming technologies in a part and the conventional farming technologies in other part of their land. The data were collected during March/April 2011. The study used SPSS 16 to analyse the data. Multiple regression models were used to know the impact of different independent variables on output per hectare in conservation and conventional Farming. The study revealed that the productivity per hectare in conservation farming was 58.53% higher than in conventional farming. The profit per hectare in conservation farming was 161.5% higher than in conventional farming. Hence, the study suggests for popularising the conservation farming technologies to increase productivity, profit and to reduce poverty in Zambia. The study also suggests for establishment of bank branches, co-operative credit societies/self-help groups and micro-finance institutions to provide financial facilities to enable the farmers to adopt conservation farming technologies.

The term affirmative action and inclusive growth though antonym but inseparable with the term social exclusion in a modern nation state. But the two processes may not be antonym to each other. People may oscillate in two dimensional processes. They may move towards inclusion in one aspect or towards the exclusion in other or towards the state of total rupture. Affirmative actions itself might be exclusionary in nature. Affirmative actions which are adopted to integrate the excluded people in many times turns in to opposite direction are termed as ‘adverse incorporation’ or ‘differential inclusion’ (Silver, 2011).The problem is not seldom in India. In Indian society many inclusive policies causes differential inclusion or adverse incorporation. For instance the poor as social assistance recipients are excluded as means of reinforcing work ethics among the majority. Materials and Method: Purposive random sample of 100 respondents one from each house hold have been collected all most equally from rural and urban areas. Villages like Suprakandi, Brojendra Nagar of South Karimganj block, Koilaghat area of Dullabcherra, Baruala and Nalarpar of Ramkrishna Nagar development block etc Where Namasudra communities are concentared. And for urban area only Karimganj town have been selected. A schedule containing 30 variables is used as a tool to collect interview of respondents. Data have been analysed with the help of SPSS package.

The article discusses social exclusion in the affluent society. It suggests a change of perspective from the typical focus on the generation of income and resources to the opportunities of using them, from means to ends. Therefore, an updated conception of affluent society will be outlined first. It is centred on the importance of having access to a variety of options and freedom of choice. Then, corresponding social positions of relevance to analyses of inequality and marginalisation, namely having choices, having to make choices and having no choices, will be distinguished. Having no choices will be shown to be an analytical criterion for social exclusion. This will be illustrated by the empirical example of charitable assistance by food banks.
