ABSTRACT

The Ministry of Health and Family Planning of the Government of India has tried since 1966 to involve local urban

governments in family planning by supplying funds for the establishment of locally-maintained clinics. It was hoped

that the State governments would encourage local participation but progress in this direction has been slow. Local

agencies are not considered appropriate for implementation and execution of health programs in India. Financing

troubles have hindered progress in this area. Local governments would be particularly good at using their health

extension programs and their maternal and child health services to extend family planning services. (PubHealth.info
