Chi–square test was applied. Result: 558(93%) were aware about at least one method of contraceptives and contraceptive prevalence was found to be 56.8%.Conclusion: Socioeconomic factors like education, occupation, socioeconomic class, age, number of living children significantly affected use of contraceptive.
