ABSTRACT

The policy of the government of India is to reduce the birthrate from 41 to 25 by 1975-1976 and to 23 by 1978-1979.

To achieve such objectives, guidelines should be set down for administrators to follow. Targets provide guidelines

in reaching the objective; they are not the objective in themselves. Targets, to be most effective, must be set

realistically. Targets which set a birthrate must also indicate the total population which it is proposed to attain.

Once national targets are set, statewide and district wide targets must also be established. It is important to take

into account past performance of a family planning program as well as the size of the affected population.
