Levels of health development at amenities have been calculated followed by determination of composite health development index. The study concluded category in comparison to tehsil of TSP area of Rajasthan. So present study made an attempt to examine the spatial analysis in health amenities development in twenty four tehsils of TSP area of Rajasthan. In the analysis, it has been observed that some tehsils are found to be stagnant; others are either moving forward or going backward in the region. The result shows that apart from existence of wide disparity there are sufficient proof to say that there are tehsil that have done poorly placed in terms of health amenities.
