NCDs represent the biggest threat to women’s health worldwide, increasingly impacting on women in developing countries in their most productive years. Women because of their gender, social responsibilities, family role, internalization of feelings are more prone to become prey to non-communicable diseases. Moreover, health care research into gender disparities in the development and treatment of NCDs is sparse.

Female health workers being the most important cadre of health care system provide services to diverse groups. They directly relate to masses and act as a link between the primary and higher health care settings. As they increasingly play a more prominent role in providing health services, there is an increasing need to ensure that they possess the necessary knowledge and competencies to satisfactorily perform their expanding roles. Effective training of health care workers in new topics and skills, ensures that health workers have the capacity to provide quality health education and services.

Research on the performance of female health works remains quite limited and there is paucity of data.  Till date very few research studies has been carried out globally and at national level related to measurement of performance outcome of female health worker in terms of NCDs risk reduction programme. With this view in mind the current study is being planned to train female health workers on the said topic. The FHWs will be enrolled and assessed for the knowledge, skills and NCD service delivery with help of self-structured tools. Training will be imparted to health workers and 1 week and 3 months post training again post-test will be conducted. the findings of current study will help to update the knowledge of female health workers and expand their work horizon, empower them to take right decisions. On the bigger front which will further help to control and manage the selected NCDs epidemic to some extent.
