Abstract
AbstractThis paper uses a new composite index to measure family planning performance in 22 states/Union Territories of India for which latest data on family planning use are available from NFHS 2019-2020. The analysis reveals that family planning performance in meeting the family planning needs of the people remains poor and there are significant inter-state/Union Territory variation in the performance. The paper calls for reinvigorating family planning efforts by treating family planning as a development strategy.
