Synopsis

While India has achieved major gains in addressing its family planning needs, there are pockets that still need focussed attention to maintain the momentum. These pockets can be seen in terms of regions and population sub-groups. Despite promising progress, there are cases that call for continued focus on addressing the unmet need.

Among the several revolutionary changes that have transformed the world over the last few decades, perhaps the most significant one for women – and also the most underplayed – has been the means to choose when and whether to have children. This transformation has been driven by the expanded availability of modern contraceptives and the growing awareness about family planning methods across the developed and the developing world alike.
