Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy).

ABSTRACT

The Rural Family Planning Project (RFPP), a project of the Family Planning Association of India at the Allahabad

Agricultural Institute, was established in 1971. It is a project which combines work in health, family planning, and

agriculture. The field staff spends 1/2 of its time on family planning, 1/4 on agriculture-related activities, and the

other 1/4 on health work. The administration, staffing, training, and f unding of the project are described. The aim of

the family planning part of the project is to introduce the people of the area to the idea of a small family and the use

of family planning and to inform them about possible methods of family planning. Medical personnel, in short supply

in the area, perform the surgery for sterilizations and pregnancy terminations and train nonmedical personnel to take

over responsibility for many parts of the program. Person-to-person contact through house visits by the field staff was

considered the most effective method of ca rrying on an education campaign for family planning in the area. No

coercion and no incentives are used for family planning acceptance. Husband and wife must agree on the method

chosen. Condom use is 52.2% of the total family planning acceptance and oral use is 35.6%. (PubHealth.info
