It was observed that induced group with controlled labour has many maternal and foetal advantages like undisturbed domestic arrangements, avoidance of fatigue of patients and her relations, short duration of labour and minimal exposure to stress of labour, lower incidence of caesarean section and minimised perinatal morbidity and mortality.
