HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

• Contraceptive usage has been rising gradually in India. In 1970,

• 13% of married women used modern contraceptive methods, which rose to 35% by 1997 and 48% by 2009.

• The national family planning program was launched in 1951, and was the world's first governmental population stabilization program. By 1996, the program had been estimated to have averted 168 million births.[

Above 200 pradhans took part in awareness campaign

Jan 10, 2009.

KANPUR: More than 200 gram pradhan took part in an awareness programme organised by the District health department at Bilhaur on Saturday.

The programme was organised to sensitize the gram pradhans on issues like family planning and reproductive child health. The participants were told about the importance of maintaining good health of a pregnant woman and also a newly born infant. They were also made aware about immunisation which is a must for every pregnant mother or her young infant to prevent various fatal diseases.

As even till today a large number of women are not able to get better medical treatment during the pregnancy period and are unable to use contraceptive methods due to family pressure or are not aware about it. Therefore, through this project all this vital was imparted to gram pradhans through the means of question answers, and gave them a single platform to put forward their views and misunderstandings.
