AbstractAims and objectives:
• To use Robson’s Ten Group Classification System to evaluate caesarean sections in present institution.
• To understand the reasons behind the CS rates for different groups of Ten Group Classification System specific to present institution.

Results: A total 1768 patients delivered in the present institute and out of which 1069 were vaginal deliveries and 699 were caesarean section over this study period of one year. The overall caesarean section rate (CSR) was 39.54%, maximum contribution to total CS was from group 5, followed by group 1, group 2, group 10, and group 3. Less contribution from group 4, group 7, group 6, group 8 and least from group 9. Group 1, 2, 3 & 4 were low risk group.
