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.

ABSTRACT

The only way to make children an economic liability for poor people in India and bring home the idea of smaller

families is to rigidly enforce the education laws and stop the employment of child labor. Family planning must alos

be incorporated into the total extension education program and there is considerable room for meaningful direct and

indirect incentives. At present, payments are merely compensation for lost time or expenses incurred by family

planning acceptors. Such indirect incentives as village approval and such direct incentives as free books or even

meals for families with 3 or fewer children or family planning acceptors are needed. Some states have stopped giving

medical reimbursement to government workers with more than 3 children who have not adopted family planning.

Incentives could be built into the income tax and agricultural loans. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1090-06)
