Introduction Under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), village health and sanitation committees have been formed at village level in order to enable participation of people in monitoring and planning of health services. In Maharashtra state, considering the high prevalence of malnutrition, a nutrition component has been added and thus these committees are called village health nutrition and sanitation committees (VHNSC). Government provides an untied fund of INR 10000 (USD 214.7) per year to VHNSC along with some broad guidelines on how to utilise the fund. To date, there is very little information available on knowledge about and utilisation of untied fund among VHNSC members. Objective of this study was to assess the knowledge of VHNSC members about guidelines for utilisation of untied fund and to assess the knowledge of VHNSC members regarding actual utilisation of untied fund.
