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). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

This article attempts to analyze the following issues that concern family planning and population policy in India: the

1971 Census; law of population and socioeconomic systems; the need for a fundamental change in the

socioeconomic system; population policy; and population planning and contraceptives. The 1971 census is

discussed in reference to the increasing growth rate, literacy rate, and % of workers (male-female) of the total

population. A critical appraisal of the economic system is given. It is proposed that new social dynamics must be

created, developed and applied in order to transform the economy and stop the growth rate of the population.

Population policy should be framed in concrete terms and with due regard for the specific conditions and problems

of each major constituent unit and sector of the country. It is necessary to survey both population and economic

growth and promote and realize the planned inter-relation between them. Because contraceptives are a matter of

personal choice, they do not seem to be the answer to the problem India is facing today. Without any

socioeconomic changes, there can be no population limitation in India. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T
