Abstract
In this paper, we consider Kantowski-Sachs (Ks) minisuperspace model with a minimally coupled massless scalar field. A canonical transformation is per formed on the phase space to simplify the scalar constraint. Then the quant ization programme for this model has been developed using the standard gene ral procedure by Ashtekar and co-workers. finally, the wave function for th is model has been evaluated in the path integral formalism.
