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

Industries are ideally suited for family planning programs since they are closed societies in which intensive

propoganda may be employed. The health departments can be easily geared to family planning activities making it

one of the labor welfare measures for workers. Management must be committed to support and maintenance of a

family planning program. A family planning officer can be appointed to co-ordinate related activities within the

industry. He should be responsible for family planning education and motivation programs. Others can directly

influence and motivate the workers towards the practice of family planning by virtue of the esteem in which they are

held by the workers. These are the supervisory staff, the jobbers, and the trade union leaders. Eligibility surveys can

identify the target workers by collecting information on family status, size, and contraceptive practice when the worker

draws his pay. Those identified as targets may be approached for family planning education by general gettogethers,

healthy baby competitions, exhibitions, films, groups, and individual talks with the family planning officer. Keeping

the program as part of an integrated health plan will help motivate the worker to feel that management is interested in

his total well being, not just as a family planning statistic. The idea of small family norms can be encouraged by

immunization and child care. Various incentives for sterilization can be offered in form of money, leave, emotional

support, and good medical care. The Hindoostan Mills in Bombay have implemented a program such as this, and at

the current time 95% of the eligible couples have accepted family planning. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T
