It is necessary to assess the work profile of the ASHA workers to understand the challenges faced by them and to motivate them to perform their responsibilities effectively and efficiently.

Data was entered into Microsoft Excel and analysed with SPSS version 22. Quantitative data was expressed using descriptive statistics.
