Abstract
Carcinoma cervix is a major health problem faced by Indian
women and though its incidence has declined in urban population
in recent years but in the rural India where 70% of the people dwell,
cervical cancer still remains on top [1]. It is mainly due to illiteracy
and ignorance about the factors contributing to the development of
cervical cancer. The rural women are mostly poor and backward,
have poor genital hygiene and are not aware of major risk factors
like marriage at an early age and multiparity [2]. Therefore, creating
awareness about the hazards of cervical cancer and apprising them
regarding the importance of early detection of the disease and
associated risk factors are the need of the hour [3,4].
