ABSTRACT

As the death rate in India fell from 4.86% in 1921 to .16% in 1969, the birthrate decreased from 4.92% to 4.3%. The

current net rate of growth increases the population by 13 million persons per year. The first 5-year plan (1951-1955)

concentrated on research and program planning. The second plan (1956-1960) emphasized use of mass

communication, provision of clinical referral services, training of personnel, provision of supplies, and research. The

major aim of the third 5-year plan (1961-1966) was to accelerate the rate of adoption of family planning. Any future

family planning plans should take into account the tradition of high fertility, the communication difficulties of

reaching the isolated rural population, and the problems of developing a national organization and training and

employing family planning workers who understand the communities and speak the local languages so they can

create acceptance of small families, among the people. Recreational facilities should be increased. At the present

time there is no indigenous source of manufactured contraceptives and no established distribution channel to reach

India's millions. It is concluded that population education among adult, school teacher, and community leader

groups will create awareness among the people that limitation of the number of children and welfare of the whole

family are both concerns of family planning. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 71-06)
