Rural Women and Contraceptive Methods Rajiv Ranjan Prasad

Population problem has been a matter of concern in many countries particularly less developed and developing countries. The response to this problem has, however, varied from country to country, state to state and district to district, in accordance with its perception of the gravity of the problem that may be its social,economic and political priorities. India is the first country in the world to launch a Family Planning Programme across the country in 1952. Despite constant efforts by the government, unmet needs still remain. The reasons for these unmet needs have to be analyzed to the core for better understanding of the situation and to help the government in formulation of appropriate policies and modified approaches. This study aimed to identify the factors for non-acceptance of different contraceptive methods in married women in rural areas.
