The fertility pattern of a socioeconomically changing rural area of India was studied from 1961-74. The results are discussed and presented as statistical data. Age of marriage showed an increase as did the literacy rate among women; live births per mother decreased. Nutritional status was not significantly different. The various factors affecting these results are considered.
