Chairman's Statement
I take pleasure in welcoming all of you to this
Annual General Meeting of the Foundation. During
the past year, there has been a change in the
political environment with a mid-term election and
conse-quently another coalition Government at the
national level. The socio-economic conditions,,'
particularlyfor the large segments of our people,
who accountfor the populationgrowth,wouldnot
have changed significantlyT. hus, as we enter the
52nd year of our political independence and
parliamentary system, and prepare for the new
millennium,we must also adapt our policies and
strategiesto the inevitable"Billionplus" prospect
-notwithstanding the slow down in global population
growth.
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
political democracy seeks to set limits to its
population size, people's aspirations for social and
economic democracy cannot be deferred. Under
the provisions of the 73rd Amendments of the
Constitution, elected councilsof Panchayat members
from the district right upto the village level have the
power to plan and implement programmes for the
health, social and economic development for their
respective areas. Specific responsibilities of the
, Gram Panchayats, which directly or indirectly.
relate to health and family planning, have been
outlined. It is important that the Panchayat
members have access to the necessary knowledge
and skills to discharge their responsibilities to the
people who have elected them, and on whom
depends the success particularly of the health and
family welfare goals.
There has been, therefore, an urgent need
to inform, train and motivate the Panchayat
members and their urban counterparts of the
Nagarpalikason the issuesof reproductivehealth,
family planning, population and environment,
nutrition, maternal and child health care, and
control of communicablediseases, simuLtaneously
and in conjunctionwith the other people-specific
and location-specificdevelopmental concerns.
As you know, the national approach to the
"population" has evolved through learning from
experience - our own and other countries. In this
process, which must continue and quicken, the
Foundation must play its legitimate role. When a

especially women members in these inter-related
fields in seven districts spread in six States. We
have developed a strategy of training, which has
been found to be effective and cost efficient. This
training concept has generated the interest of
international agencies like UNICEF, who has
agreed to fund the training of allthe Panchayat Raj
members in the State of Haryana.
(d) Measures to prevent rural-urban drift,
(e) Progressive elimination of gender inequality,
(f) Adoption of technologythat is friendlyto the
people, espectiallyto the poor,
(g) Restraint on inessential consumption,
I believethat the Foundationcannot have a
priority higher than empowering villagefamilies,
with the help of their electedlocalrepresentatives.
Once the Gram Panchayat, and through them the
Gram Sabha and the community,are sensitised,
the professional and paraprofessional service
providersshould respond better to the articulated
needs of the community.
(h) Alternative sources of energy,
(i) More equitable income distribution,

(k) Protection of human rights, particularly of
women and children, and

which has direct or indirect bearing on population
stabilisation.
None of these aims is new. The general
trend is in their direction. But local communities,
for whatever reason, still do not have a decisive
say. The speed of socio-economic change must
increase. Population related priorities have to
mesh with other socio-economic priorities. We

major thrust of our work. We found that
many NGOs workingin slums welcometechnical
skills in reproductive health and allied fields of
activity.
To equip and strengthen the NGOswho are
active in the slums, we are setting up a Training
and Resource Development Centre (TRDC)for
training voluntary workers in reproductive and
child health in Delhi. The fundingfor this 3-year
project duration has been approved by the
Department of Family Welfare, Government of
India.The objectiveof the training programme is
to develop a cadre of voluntary workers with
technical knowledgeand practical skillson issues
to develop, implement and monitor reproductive
and child health programmes.

The JRD Tata awards for Population and

by the then Prime Mitlister Mr I K Gujral at a
functionheld on November13, 1997. The award
for the best state was given to Kerala while the
districts of Palakkad, Chidambaranar and
Kurukshetrareceivedthe best performance awards
in their respective population categories.
A set of 10 indicatorscoveringdemographic
factors, qualityof health services,state of literacy

of the states. Justice (Ms)Leila Seth, former chief
Justice of HimachalPradesh was the chairperson
of the Award Committee speciallyconstituted for
the purpose.
The third JRD Tata Memorial Oration was
delivered by Dr (Mrs) Najma Heptulla, Deputy
Chairman,RajyaSabha, on 29th November1997.
The theme was "Roleof Empowermentof Women
in Population Stabilisation".
POLITICAL SUPPORT
All of us know that one reason why we have
not been able to contain the population explosion
is the lack of political commitment and support.
Most of our elected representatives still think
of population policy in terms of family planning
targets and sterilisation using coercive means. This
is apparent from private members bills introduced
in the last session of Parliament. However it is
heartening to note that in the special session of the
lok Sabha held in August, 1997 to mark the
Golden Jubilee of our independence, a special
discussion was organised on population policies

The key-note address was deliveredby the
Kerala Health and Sports Minister, Mr A

Participants of the seminar agreed that the
two factors that played a significantrole towards
successful performance of family planning

STABILISATION : MRS NAJMA HEPTULLAH
Delivering the third annual JRD Tata
MemorialOration in New Delhion November29,
1997, Dr (Mrs) Najma Heptullah, Deputy
Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha made a strong
plea for a changein socialattitudetowards women
as an essential requirement for solving the
population issue. She said welfare and
empowerment of women and gender equity in the
society were the key factors in ensuring development
along with population stabilisation.Dr Heptullah
said that a more focused approach to women's
empowerment is required to supplement any
policyinitiativein populationstabilisation.She said
that society should respond to the needs of
lessening the double burden on women in their
familialand employment roles. She called upon
development agencies and NGOs to supplement
their efforts for the twin goals of employment of
women and population stabilisation which are
closely interlinked.

PROJECT ON TRAINING OF
PANCHAVAT MEMBERS IN HARVANA STATE
PFI TO PROVIDE TRAINING IN
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
A proposal to train all- Panchayat Raj
PFI is to set up a Training and Resource
members in the State of Haryana has been Development Centre (TRDC) for training of
approved for funding by UNICEF. The training will
last for 21 months. The project is the highest ever
voluntary organisations involved in Reproductive
and Child Health schemes in slums of Delhi. The
to be undertaken by PFI with a total cost of project is being supported by Department of
Rs 1,83,00,000/-.
Family Welfare, Government of India.
"
The project aims to develop the capacity of
Panchayat members, particularly the women
members, to become aware of their role and
responsibilities in fulfilling the basic development
needs of the people and ensuing social justice. The
members will be trained on issues related to
reproductive and child health, family planning,
population, water and environment, nutrition,
control of communicable diseases and resource
planning.
The main objective of the training programme
is to develop a cadre of voluntary workers, who
would have working knowledge and skills on issues
related to the development, implementation and
monitoring of Reproductive and Child Health
Programmes.
The project is proposed to be implemented
in three phases, viz.,

III. SLUM PROJECTS BEING
FUNDED BY PFI
Reproductivehealthconditionsare extremely
poor in India, as a whole. While some st9tes are
better off than others, the conditionsare appalling
in populations livingin the slums of large cities.
More childrenare born to die in the slums of this
country because of sheer neglect, lack of basic
maternal and child health care services and
primary health care.
The populationlivingin the slumsare largely
migrants from rural areas. They come from .a
backgroundof poverty,illhealth,high fertility,high
mortalityand varied culturaland socialconditions
that largely prevent women and children from
seeking the availablehealth services,low status of
women, low literacy rates and poor nutrition.
Whilein rural areas there is an establishedpatterr!'
of health infrastructureas a subcentre for 5000
population, primary health centres for 30,000
population and community health centres for
1,00,000 population and district level hospitals,
similar pattern of health services are lacking in
urban areas. In cities, the number of private
hospitals and provision of high quality medical
services are increasingly available to the upper-
middle and affluent sections of the society at an
exorbitantlyhigh cost that is unaffordableby the
poorer sectionsof society.On the other hand, even
rudimentary health services are lacking in. slum
populationsbecauseofthe absenceofgovernmental
infrastructuralfacilitiesto attend to their problem.
PH has been funding several slum projects
over the years to provide safe motherhood
services,identificationand treatment of RTIs and
STDs and counsellingand motivation of couples
towards acceptance of temporary familyplanning
methods.PH feelsthat suchan integratedapproach
would educate women and empower them to
communicatewiththeir partners and help them to
improve their reproductive health. Such an
approachshouldalsoincludethe activeparticipation
of men and ensure that myths and misconceptions
are graduallyeliminatedthrough social awareness
and changes in lifestyle.

v. INTEGRATED PROJECTS
Over the years, the Foundation has gained the experience that projects exclusively concentrating
on reproductive health and family planning suffer from a limitation, as even the best of results achieved
through a project tend to wear off over a period of time. Sustainability seem:; to be dependent upon
inclusion of project components which will integrate social and economic development with reproductive
health behaviour. The following integrated projects are being funded by the Foundation:

POPULATION
INDIA
The Population Foundation of India (formerlyknown as the Family Planning
Foundation) came into being in 1970 and has ever since been in the forefront of
non-governmental efforts to check the runaway growth of the population of the
country and establish a balance between resource, environment and population.
The Foundation was established by a dedicated group of industrialists and
population activistsled by Bharat Ratna the late Mr. JRD Tata who guided it as the
Founder Chairman until his death in 1993. The Founding Fathers believed that a
movement of social development such as family planning should not and cannot
remain the sole concern of the government and It ought to be supported and
supplemented by private voluntaryenterprises. The Foundation, has therefore always
worked in close co-ordination with official agencies and programmes. In its
independent role, it has tried to guide and influence the national population policy
and to serve as a catalyticagent to promote programmes at different levels directed
towards the ultimate goal of population stabilisation. The Foundation's activity, in
the words in the late r. JRD Tata has been focused on "advancing the cause of human
welfare through family planning.'~
