Chairman's Report
This is the Foundation's 13th Annual Report. The year has been one of decidedly mixed
fortunes for our institution, as described later in the report.
In terms c5f the national scene, 1983-84 saw the family planning programme firmly in
focus as a key priority accepted by all political parties. However, despite the considerable
efforts made by the government, the programme could not pick up the required level of
tempo to meet the annual targets. The number of acceptors recruited during the year is
-estimated at over 4 million for sterilisations, nearly 2 million for IUD and over 6 million CC
users. This is a sizable accomplishment in terms of absolute number and a moderate-to-major
improvement in every method of family planning over the previous year's record. Nonetheless,
it has still short faIled expectations by a wide margin. Consequently, with only one year of the
plan period to go it is clear that the Sixth Plan targets -which had aimed at a coverage of
36 per cent of all eligible couples and the reduction of the birthrate to 30 per 1000 by the end
of the plan period - will not be achieved. At the mo~t, it is now expected to reach 30 per cent
of the couples with effective family planning coverage by 1985. The Sixth Plan's - backlog of
numbers will have to move into the Seventh Plan projections, thus making the task during the
years immediately ahead still more onerous. That is unfortunately what has happened through~
out the entire planning process to date.
The Government, and indeed leading segments of society, are to be commended, for the
renewed and vigorous attention the family planning question is ROW receiving. Nevertheless, it
is self-evident that the present efforts are proving inadequate in comparison to the need.
Particularly, the overall national figures mask enormous regional disparities. The better part of
the family planning performance continues to come from the Southern S~ates; while the
northern belt continues to lag far behind.
Uttar Pradesh, with one-sixth of India's population and having a 70 per cent higher
population density than the national average, remains at a very low level of performance. It is
reported that every third birth in rural UP is of fifth or even higher order of birth. In UP and
Bihar, the two States with roughly a quarter of India's population, effective family planning
coverage of eligible couples in 1980 was between 10-11 per cent. This will have to be stepped-
up fivefold in the remaining two decades of the century, as compared to the Southern States
which need to merely double their coverage, if the planned objectives are to be attained.
A recent macro analysis has highlighted that the age at marriage and level of female
literacy-which provide major indication of women's status-heavily influence the family
planning acceptance rates of different States. It is a matter of great concern that though the
minimum legal age of marriage for a girl is 18 years, the 1981 Census shows nearly 44 per cent
of the girls in the age group 15-19 are married, plus nearly 7 per cent of the age group 10-14.
The majority of these young married girls are in the northern States. For instance, in UP over
60 per cent of girls between 15-19 are married, while in Bihar and Rajasthan the figure goes up
to 64 per cent. Female literacy remains at a single digit figure in 60 d's~ric~s of India, mos~ of
them in UP, Bihar, Rajasthan and MP.

Our population has more than doubled since Independence. At the present rate of growth
it will double again in 33 years. One recent estimate points out that the figure of one billion
will be crossed at the -present rate of growth by the end of this century. Unless effective action
is taken another billion might be added by the middle of the next century! India could not
survive as a cohesive nation under such conditions, let alone achieve rising standards of
living. Radical rethinking on and restructuring of approaches are therefore needed, if family
planning goals for this century are not to be abandoned with stark consequences to the fate of
the country.
1984 isa year of high international visibility for the population issue. The World
Population Conference scheduled at Mexico City in August this year provided an appropriate
occasion to learn from the experiences of others to improve upon them. Unlike what happened
at the Bucharest Conference in August 1974, the overwhelming majority of the world's
nations are now firmly committed to the family planning concept. More importantly, some of
tbe world's most populous countries have demonstrated what can be achieved within a remark-
ably short time-frame. China, with a quarter of world's population, has practically halved its
birthrate in the course of the past decade. Others in Asia, such as Indonesia, Thailand, Korea,
have had very dramatic declines.
The lessons of the past decade reveal that those countries that have achieved the greatest
success jn slowing their population growth have generally placed an equally strong emphasis
on improvements in education and the status of women; ttJgerher with wide availability cf
modern family planning methods. It is towards such ail integrated approach that India must
address itself with even greater zeal than before. Today we have accumulated enough research
to tell us what can be done and how it can be done. As always, the NGOs will have to be in
the forefront of these innvoations, and the Foundation has to carve a much more dynamic role
for itself, in leading the NGO effort.
Accounts
The Accounts for the year ended 31st December 1983 annexed at page' nos. 93-111 show
that during the year under review, the Foundation:
i) receive donatfons of Rs 5.£9 lak--hs-(Rs. 25.67 lakhs in 19&2) from the industrial and
business community in India;
ii)earned Rs 25:66 lakhs (Rs 32.50 lakhs in 1982) as interest on its investment;
;;;) sanctiOBed Rs 12.60 lakhs (Rs .. 25.9b lakhs in 1982) as project support for various
'Pr~ramme5;
iv) disbursed Rs. 20.35 Jakhs (Rs 26.90 1akhs in 1982) as grants in instalments for ongoing
projects sanctioned in 1983 and earlier;
v) incur:red an expeawture of Rs 9.89 lakhs (Rs 9.69 lakhs in 1982) on establishment,
and
vi} paid.R.s 4.50 ilalchs.to Delhi Development Authority towards cost of 0.75 acre of land
for Foundation's building.

As shown on page 109 of this report, in the last 13 years of its activities, the Foundation has
supported about 180 projects all over the country, allocating a sum of nearly Rs 216.14 lakhs.
Of this amount, the Foundation has actually disbursed Rs 153.33 lakhs, with outstanding
~mmitments of Rs 62JH 1akhs.
Donations
This has been very lean year as regards raising of funds fot the Foundation. It would be
observed from the Audited accounts that donations during 1983 have shrunk considerably to
one fifth of that raised during the year 1982. This combined with the loss of interest on
premature withdrawal of deposits from private companies for investment in the public sector,
pursuant to the Government policy announced through the Finance Bill of 1983, has reduced
the Foundation's resources to a considerable extent. Against the above background, I need
hardly emphasise the need for utmost economy on expenditure on establishment as well as
administrative components of the projects supported by the Foundation, apart from the
renewed drive for raising donations.
Budget
The Advisory Council has been recommending the need for increase in larger allocations
for pro-jeots/progr.ammes of innovative nature and for an effective system of appraising of
project pr-eposals at the formulation stage, rigorous monitoring and evaluation during the
course of implementation and thereafter the follow-up work. However, keeping in view the
financial·posit~on of the Foundation, we decided to have a tentative budget of Rs 30 lakhs for
project support and Rs 11.08 lakhs for the Foundation's establishment during 1984, as indicat-
ed at page III. I am however happy to report that with the support of the Ministry of Health
and Family Welfare, we should soon be in a position to secure financial support of 247,200
Canadian dollars (nearly Rs 20 lakhs) from the International Development Research Centre
(Canada) for a number of projects in the area of "Broad-Based Research Programme on
Infant Mortality and Fertility in India" for which a three year programme would be formulated
as soon as the 'Government of India clears the IDRC grant. This is in ad4ition t@ Rs 30 lakhs
earmarked by the Foundation as the annual budget for project support during the year 1984.
Tax Exemption Status of the Foundation
Meanwhile, a serious and potentially disastrous development has taken place with regard
to the tax exemption status of the Foundation. Ever since the inception of the Foundation,
full exemption of income tax was granted under Section 35(1) (ii), read in cOlijunction with
Section 10(2) of the Income Ta~ Act, on donations both in the hands of the donors and in the
hands of the Foundation on interest earned on such donations. Unfortunately, the Sections
under which such exemption was ,granted up to now were originally introduced for -the main
purpose of encouraging scientific research, and as the primary role of the Foundation has not
been that of a scientific research institution, the Department of Science and Technology, which
is the sole prescribed authority for recommending exemption, has conveyed their inability to
recommend continuance of tax 'ex-emption to the Foundation from the end of 1983.

As the Foundation could not survive if the source of its funds and its own mterest
income were subjected to tax, and in view of the prime importance attached by the Govern-
ment of India and the Prime Minister herself to family planning as a basic national policy, I
have, in consultation with the Governing Board and on behalf of the Foundation, represented
to. Government the urgent need to amend. the Act or provide other means of ensuring continued
tax exemption.
The Government readily responded to our representation and action is being taken in
consultation with Government which will ensure exemption from tax on donations and
interest revenues of the Foundation in its own hands. Tax exemption In donors' hands,
however, is granted only to the extent that the aggregate of all charitable donations made by
them does not exceed Rs 5 lakhs in any year. As donations to the Foundation have been
mainly received from joint stock companies whose annual charitable grants exceed Rs 5 lakhs,
we have urged that such limitation should in future not apply to donation made solely in
support of approved programmes of family planning. This particular aspect is still under
discussion with Government and I hope that their final decision will enable the Foundation
to continue and extend its operations in the years to come.
Acknowledgement
During the course of the year, Dr S S Sidhu, Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, and an ex-officio member of the Governing Board, left the Ministry to take up
another important government assignment. His association with the Foundation and his advice
on various matters were of great help to the Foundation and the Board has conveyed their
grateful thanks to him.
We warmly welcome Mr C R Vaidyanathan, Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, as an ex-officio member of the Governing Board in the vacancy caused by the depar-
ture of Dr S S Sidhu and we look forward to the continued support of the Ministry of Health
and Family Welfare during the tenure of Mr Vaidyanathan.
During the course of the year, the foHowing members of the Governing Board had
completed their tenure and were unanimously re-elected:
Mrs Tara Ali Baig
Mr B G Verghese
I take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the keen interest taken by my
colleagues on the Board in the affairs of the Foundation.
The Foundation has continued to receive willing and invaluable help and guidance from
the members of the Advisory Council and in particular from its Chairman, Dr Malcolm S.
Adiseshiah. Their contributions and directions have been of immense value in evaluating the
programme of the Foundation and also for developing new programmes.
The Foundation is also indebted Jo the members of the Advisory Bodies, Task Groups

and the individual social workers, prof~ssionals and scientists who have always responded to
the Foundation's call for their advice and help in developing new programmes and promoting
the role of the I oundation in a true spirit of social service. We are grateful to the various
Departments of the Government, particularly the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for the sustained
interest, valu~ble guidance and full cooperation in furthering the activities of the Foundation.
Conclusion
I also take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the good work and dedicated
team spirit of all the members of the Foundation's staff which has continued to discharge its
duties with enthusiasm under the leadership of Prof J C Kavoori.
This is a testing time for the Foundation. We have initiated steps to meet the ever-growing
challenges it has to meet in the immediate future, in the task of making family planning a
people's movement. To enable the Foundation to play its part in this great national endeavour
I appeal once again to the industrial fraternity to generously support this worthy cause.

'Objectives
Mechanism of Secretion of CG in the Pregnant Human and Monkey
Placental Tissue Culture
Professor N R Moudgal
Department of Biochemistry, Indian Institute of Seience, Bangalore .
For the extended project, one year wi~h effect from November I, 1983
Rs. 2.12 lakhs (November 1983) (Earlier sanctioned Rs. 2,40,000 in
November 1977 and Rs. 2,00,000 in December 1981)
Rs. 75,000 (out of the latest grant) (Rs. 3,72,180 against the earlier grants)
To investigate the 'feasibility of developing asuitable machanism to inter-
fere with Chorionic Gonadotropin (CG) production, which can possibly
be used as a fertility limiting agent.
It was found from the earlier studies that daily injection of 10 pg of LHRH
did not have any effect on CG secretory pattern. However, with a single
injection of 100 pg of LHRH, a significant increase in CG levels within
two hours of the administration was observed in all animals. These results
suggest that LHRH have a role in the regulation of CG whose main
function is to rescue the corpus luteum of the fertile cycle and maintain
steroidogenesis until the placenta takes over. Thus, using a suitable agonist
or antagonist of LHRH can be used as a post-coital contraceptive by inter-
fering with CG production. A simple method to obtain functional cells
have been maintained in culture and were found to secrete both CG and
pro gesterone.
The work was reviewed by a Peer Review Group in Delhi in August
1983 and later by a few experts at the project site at Bangalore. They

Project Title
1) To isolate and characterise riboflavin carrier protein (RCP) and
thiamin carrier protein (TCP) from pregnant mothers.
2) To develop sensitive methods of assays for monitoring their levels
during pregnancy, menstruation and 'pill' in-take.
3) To rule out side-effects on the mother following active immunisation
against the carrier proteins.
Earlier studies revealed the feasibility of using chicken proteins for active
immunisation to suppress early pregnancy in higher animals. The studies
also indicate that this immunOlogical approach of pregnancy is reversible.
The project was reviewed by a Peer Review Group in August 1983 followed
by the visit of experts to the project site at Bangalore. Based on these
assessments, the results are considered encouraging as far as rodent and
sub-human primate models are concerned. The Foundation, therefore,
solicited a project proposal for the continuation of the study keeping in
view that the Foundation with the limited resources can only play a
catalytic role. On the recommendations of the Peer Review Group, a
further grant of Rs. 2.49 lakhs was sanctioned for a period of one year with
effect from November I, 1983.
The Project Director in his recent letter has explained some delay in
this work due to cert~in administrative pr9blems which he has now been
able to sort out. He has, however, requested that the duration of the
project be extended up to 31st March 1985 without involving any additional
financial liability to the Foundation. This is being agreed to. Further
technical report is awaited.

Work on this had been going on in PGI since November 1978. The
project was assessed by a Peer Review Group in August 1983 which recom-
mended the evaluation of the effects of 'Banjauri' in Phase I clinical studies.
Besides, some experts visited the project site. Based on these discussions, a
fresh project proposal was solicited and a further grant of Rs. 2 lakhs was
sanctioned for a period of one year with effect from 1.11.l983. Further
technical report is awaited. Meanwhile, six-bed clinical and pharmacologi-

It was felt that terminal methods which are now popular may soon reach a
plateau and measures are therefore necessary to bring in spacing methods
in a big way. The Foundation as a non-governmental organisation has
sought to provide through this Task Force meeting an independent and
objective assessment of the injectable contraceptive which could help to
decide whether injectables should be included in the national family
planning programme.
The Task Force considered, at its meeting in October 1983, two injectables:
The DMPA and the NET-EN. The national and international experience
exchanged at the meeting showed that while both these merit consideration
by the Government in terms of their safety, efficacy, acceptability and
reversibility, the latter wculd be preferable in the Indian conteJl:t. The
injectable mode is culturally acceptable and eliminates the need for daily
motivation. The report which was expected to be ready by December 1983
is not ready. This work was assigned to one of the Indian biomedical
experts, who participated at the meeting. He is being asked to expe9ite. the
report.

To exploit the immune response of the body to block the action of certain
critical bioactive molecules which are crucial for pregnancy at one stage or
the other, i.e. right from conception to maintenance.
Four different targets were chosen for vaccine development. The anti-
gonadotrophin and anti-zona pellucida vaccines were aimed at use in
females and anti-LHRH (Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone) in both
males and females. The fourth approach was to develop a vaccine against
the sperm antigens occurring at a later stage of development.
The gonadotrophin vaccine is poised for the next phase of clinical
trials in human subjects. Under the programme six new formulations of the
gonadotrophin vaccines are being tested for their potential as immunogens,
. out of which three formulations have shown promising results. These
studies are being carried out in bonnet monkeys with the double objective
of obtaining data on immunogenicity and efficacy and on toxicology simul-
taneously. Alongside, the action of antibodies when administered directly
is also under study. The technology of generation of antibodies through
hybridomas has been put to use for production of new clones secreting
antibodies of different specificities.
After successful introduction of the hybridoma clones for anti-hCG
antibodies new clones having specificities against-hCG, ~-hCG and the
whole hormone have been produced. These monoclonal antibodies are
being used to improve upon the already existing pregnancy detection kit
developed in our laboratory. New modalities including recognition of hCG
by two different antibodies with different specificities are being tried for
designing a new type of pregnancy detection assay. In the area of immuno-
diagnostics still another immunoassay is in the testing stage. This assay
aimed at detection of human luteinizing hormone in urine will be able to
predict with a fair amount .of accuracy the day of ovulation in women.
The immunization of monkeys with porcine zona pellucida which has
proven cross reactivity with other species has resulted in block of fertility
for 8-10 months in the ongoing study. The use of the same antigen along-
with more acceptable adjuvants is also under study. Several clones
secreting specific antibodies against different antigenic regions of the
porcine zonll pelIucida have been established. These monoclonal antibodies
have been found effective in blocking sperm penetration as evidenced by
in vitro experiments. The effect of these antibodies in vivo is being studied
after passive administration in mice.

LHRH tt:e "unisex" molecule whose molecular structure is conserved
through the species affords an opportunity to work on appropriate m9del
systems. The results from these experiments can be extrapolated to human
situations. Experiments are under way to test immunogenicity of this
hormone in both male and female rodents and its subsequent effectoD
fertility. Muramyl dipeptides (MDP) are being used along with LHRH
both as carrier and adjuvant. Other formulations including introduction
of "spacer" between the hormone and MDP are being tried. Monoclonal
antibodies have also been raised against different peptide fragiDents of
LHRH: These are being used to delineate the important antigenic deter-
minants on this decapeptide.
Project Director has recently undertaken a collaborative project
under the Joint-Indo-US Sub-Commission on Science and Technology for
the Development of an Antifertility vaccine based on Immunization
against LHRH in the Male.
With the additional input from the government through the NCP the
anti-pregnancy vaccine is under constant improvement. The conjuga-
tion of the hormones with different carriers like tetanus toxoid and
diphtheria toxoid and their relative merits is also being studied. The
technology of conjugation is being perfected for reproducibility in the
batches of vaccine. The levels of anti-tetanus antibodies in experimental
animals generated due to immunization with thehormone-TI conjugates is
being monitored by an enzyme linked immunoassay developed in the
laboratory.

The project was started with the following objectives:
[) To demonstrate the feasibility of effectiveness of creating self-sustain-

at risk by using the marketing approach and through suitably'ttained
members of the community.
2) To demonstrate the feasibility of providing to the community safe,
simple, economic and easily available surgical services-especially
Menstrual Regulation (MR) through suitable training of locally
available practitioners.
The project envisages using the techniques of social marketing as far any
other consumer product manufactured, by making them regularly available
at fixed outlets, at reasonable prices and backed by after-sale services.
The project was reviewed by site-visits by a team in the latter part of 1982
and certain mid-course corrective measures were suggested. Unfortunately,
. for one reason or the othe~, no Asstt. Director with the background of
marketing techniques was ever appointed and the performance of the
project was not satisfactory. Towards the end of 1983, a team from the
Foundation consisting of the Executive Director and Mr P 0
Ramachandran, USAID Consultant, visited the project site and suggested
certain corrective measures with a view to make the project self-support-
ing by March 1985, when the Foundation grant is expected to cease. The
performance of the project continues to be poor, particularly as it is
following the routine distribution system without innovative marketing
techniques.

The first phase of an experimental project designed to test certain hypo..,
thesis, implemented in 22 selected villages of Kwakol block, led to the
development of an action project taken up throughout 151 villages of
Kawakol block. This was started in January 1979 and continued for
4 years. During the project period 1,325 group meetings were held and
85 demonstrations on important health practices to disseminate information
on primary health care and family planning, 1159 men and womea under-
went sterilisation and another 2,321 adopted other methods. This was in
addition to wide-ranging changes in environmental sanitation, resulting
in a dramatic decline of gastro intestinal infections and other communi-
cable diseases. Nearly 29,000 patients were treated locally by the trained
village workers-representing 30% of the population of the area. The
project also developed an integrated multi-pathic approach to the treat-
ment of health problems giving primacy to indigenous remedies where
suitable.
The Gram Nirman MandaI is now involved in socio-economic develop-
ment work of some scale with Ford Foundation and other funding. The
health and family planning consciousness built through the FPF project
is a part of its thinking. The Village Health Committees continue to

This project despite its insignificant budget represents an important- new
direction for the Foundation. It provides an illustration of how the
Foundation's professional capabilities, research experience and range of
contacts can help to develop projects that are primarily funded by others,
thus, augmenting the resources with which the Foundation can work.
With no investment from the Foundation it has been instrumental in
getting:
1) Jaipur Udyog the major industry in Sawai Madhopur with 40,000
persons residing in its complexes to undertake a comprehensive family
welfare programme which has been designed through the Foundation's
assistance. Regular reports of the work are provided to the Foun-
dation.
2) Action for Food Production (AFPRO), a leading rural development
organisation has undertaken a survey of one panchayat with a view to
develop a plan of action that will upgrade dryland farming and animal
husbandry and build community participation in this work with which
family welfare activities will be integrated. It has also undertaken to
assist the District Authorities with a Guinea worm eradication work-
shop in a panchayat endemic with this problem and this work will be
integrated with family welfare services.
3) Preliminary proposals have been made to develop a major campaign
by Government of India, Rajasthan State Government and Hindustan
Latex Limited assisted by FPF to have an intensive three-month family
planning mobilisation and delivery of services drive involving each
and every panchayat and voluntary organisation in the district.
4) Preliminary proposals have also been developed for a programme that
helps to create women's village level groups and link them with family
welfare activities.

This project was started in ]976 and was reviewed from time to time by
site visits. This project was also reviewed by the Evaluation Committee
appointed by the Govering Board in September 1978. The project revealed
that all the 25 villages with a population of about 25,000 have been
motivated for adopting a small family norm, mostly through sterilisation.
There was not much evidence of spacing methods having been adopted in
those villages. The Foundation's financial support ceased in March 1983.
Unlike several other projects, it is heartening to note that the project
activities are being continued with the same tempo as hitherto through the
financial support provided by the State Government.

The project envisaged field work in the villages with some back-up of
expert support of the Shilpa Clinic in the city of Hyderabad. The project
was reviewed by site visits as well as by the Advisory Council and it
appeared that the whole programme was clinically-orientled and mostly
confined to the services to the urban population in Hyderabad without any
perceptible extension of services to the rural areas. Although the urban
clinic did a very good work for providing the services to the urban popula-
tion, the main objective of the Foundation in making it a community-
oriented project in rural areas could not be achieved. At one stage, a
decision was taken to discontinue the project but observing that it was
about to complete in any case with hardly Rs 50,000 remaining in the
budget, it wa~ 9~cjded ~o ~now the project to run its complete course.

context where there is a growing disenchantment with the high technology
oriented clinical approach of the health services.
One of the major mechanisms of making health care services more
community oriented is the identification and involvement of a community
level worker to undertake the more basic part of both health and family
planning activities. A number of experimental projects in India, parti-
cularly in the non-governmental sector, have tried to develop just such a
functionary at the grassroot level with varying degress of success~ The
Foundation, therefore, thought it would be worthwhile to compare the
experiments of some of these projects and evolve guidelines for policy.
Five project experiences of an innovative nature, which recognized the
emerging critical importance of community oriented health workers or
volunteers in India and aimed at the identification and creation of such
community health workers were selected. These are:
1) Jamkhed Project in Maharashtra
2) Tilonia Project near Ajmer in Rajasthan
3) CASA Project in Palghat, Maharashtra
4) Rctipur Rani Project near Chandigarh
5) Village Health Care Project in Oddarchatram in Tamil Nadu.
Case studies were prepared on each of the five projects jointly by the
Director of the concerned project and an outside expert on the subject, who
studied the project and spent some time at the project site. These are
process-oriented case studies with accent on various aspects of the com-
munity health worker-selection process, training roles, interaction with
other agencies and effectiveness problems encountered, etc.
A case study has also been prepared on the international experience in
the field, namely "Village Level Health and Family Planning Worker-An
International Perspective". The case studies were reviewed internally by
the staff with the help of Dr J S Gill of the All India Institute of Medical
Sciences. After the preparation and analysis of reports, it was planned to
organize a workshop to discuss each of the case study in depth. But the
workshop was postponed as it was thought necessary to include the
experience of the government's Village Health Workers' scheme in the
|

deliberations, and to wait and see how it works. Currently this scheme is
operating for three years, it is the time to look at the whole scheme, how it
is working and what lessons can be learnt from it and see it in relation to
other voluntary efforts that had been made in this direction. The Founda-
tion has also identified a few more projects for preparing case studies of an
experimental nature in the country. Foundati9n staff has also prepared a
"Status Report on Community Health Worker Scheme". All the case
studies will be revised and updated with the help of experts and the
concerned project Directors. Following new case studies will be prepared:
1) Case study on Government Experience of CHV scheme in a historical
framework.
2) An Analytical and process-oriented case study of government experience
. of CHV scheme.
3) Case study by Dr (Mrs) Banoo J Coyaji about her project which is a
unique type of innovative project (Vadu Rural Health Project, Pune,
where P.H.C. is run by a voluntary organisation).
Once all the Case Studies have been revised and updated and new
reports are prepared, a Workshop will be organised in which all the reports
and their findings will be presented and discussed in the context of and in
relation to the emerging needs of the country within the government frame-
work of the CHVs Scheme. All those who are involved in policymaking,
those involved in action programmes, senior field-oriented staff from the
government and leaders from voluntary organisations will be invited for the
Workshop. Practical recommendations for programme and policy will be
brought out as a result of the workers' deliberations.

To involve the Indian Adult Education Association, which is a federation
of 250 affiliated organisations across the country in population work,
develop the methodology and material for integrating population education
in adult education work and build a strong motivation in the umbrella
organisation to spread this concern through its network.
Experimental demonstration projects were carried out in three separate
areas; partially Tribal (Orissa), Rural (Haryana), and Urban (Rajasthan).
They helped to develop a more dynamic model of adult education work by
integrating linkages with income generating activities and population
education leading to acceptance of family welfare activities. The work of
the three centres was not uniform. Orissa project has resulted in the deve-
lopment of sound' population-related-adult-education material. Ajmer
project has been able to galvaniseyoung women from the Harijan and
Muslim communities through group activities and in the process have
raised consciousness about family planning. The Rewari project has been
a disappointment. The major lacuna has been in the headquarters
which was not able, despite efforts by the Foundation towards this end, to
play its visualised role as a dynamic coordinator and direction giver.
However, the work in the field proves the conceptual soundness of the
approach and points towards more encouragement of field units directly.

Create awareness for institutionalised award scheme for family planning
communication to acquire prestige. Create high visibility for the issue-
stimulate creativity-improve media coverage.
The objectives have been met. The scripts competition resulted in visibility
for both the family planning issue and FPF itself. Creative material was
made available to the media through the script competition. The award
scheme, though not implemented according to the earlier design,' has -led
to an FPF Award being incorporated within Akashvani Awards in 1983
and to Doordarshan deciding to collaborate with the Ministry of Health
for an Award scheme for family planning programmes. It has also resulted
in certain efforts to improve family planning communication on TV and
AIR. The Foundation has been officially associated with these efforts
through representation on the Software Working Group for Doordarshan
for which Foundation organised a workshop on family planning communi-
cation. Another major development has been the acceptance of the Soap
Opera concept now being tried out by both AIR and TV. The Foundation
was associated with the three workshops that took place to examine the
relevance of the Mexican soap opera concept and its techniques and deve-
lop interest in Indian writers to take up similar work.

Annotated Resource List of Family Planning Media Materials
Ms Akhila Ghosh and Krishna Das
The national family planning programme in India relies heavily onuse'of
media material both for motivation and training purposes. New materials
are continually being prepared by a number of agencies located all over
the country and often there is considerable duplication of effort because
of ignorance of work done in other places. The Foundation has often
received queries, as also felt the need for such information in its own
project development work. It is felt that the availability of an annotated
resource list of family planning media materials which would provide
descriptive information on each material as also the availability and its
cost, and rules covering availability would be most useful for several
different segments of users. Decision makers need this information to
review the media support available to the programme and to identify
significant trends and lacuna so as to direct efforts towards filling these
gaps; grassroot workers need information as much to avoid duplication as
to loca~e materials they need; and the mass media could equally step up
usage of existing materials and avoid duplication of themes in new
prod uctioos.
The catalogue has been completed in computerised form. The data base
is available on-line on the HP 3000 computer using the MINISIS software
and CENDIT is bearing the continuing cost for maintaining the database.
The catalogue has been reviewed and arrangements for its publieation and
wider distribution are currently being made.

Phase II: To continue this work, build institutional supports for family
planning communication work and develop experimental projects
to provide models of action.
The project began when the family planning programme was in paralysis
and played a role in the relegitimisation of the issue which has been
recorded and recognised in the minutes of Governing Board and Advisory
Council Meetings from 1978 onwards.
The work of this "project" was integrated into the overall functioning
of the Foundation from inception, but particularly so from June 1980.
It has, therefore, constituted one section within the Foundation, contributing
to its overall activitid of project development and monitoring, workshops
and in particular to the promotional role increasingly played by the
Foundation in national and international forums.
However, the following specific projects have been developed, moni-
tored and assisted in operation through the 'project' activities:
1. "For a better future" and general work with parliamentarians

Developing an Institutional Base in a Northern State for Orientation Train-
ing of Key Women Development Functionaries
The Foundation had an earlier project in Gandhigram for Orientatidn of".
Mukhyasevikas in health and family planning in which nearly 200 Mukhya-
sevikas from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu received training, also
instructors from some of the Northern States participated and .observed _
one session. As a direct follow-up of this effort, it was attempted to
duplicate within a northern state the training carried out by G~ndhigram in
the South. In view of the keen interest to promote family planning shown
by Rajasthan, t is state was picked up for the work. In consultation with
the State Government, the Institute of Community Development and
Panchayats, Udaipur was identified to undertake the training, as it is one
of the two official institutions of the Rajasthan State Government conducting
training for officers of its development departments.
|

5.7 Page 47 |
▲back to top |
One training .programme was conducted in the Institute of Community
Development, Udaipur with the collaboration of Gandhigram and local
Udaipur institutions and this has been reported upon last year. The
evaluation of the training course given by Gandhigram and other allied
institutions pointed to a critical need for the training to take place, but
also indicated that the Institution of Community Development lacked
the necessary capabilities and cooperative attitude to make the
programme really meaningful. In view of this it was decided to shift the
venue for the next training session. Also in the meanwhile, it was seen
that the Tamil Nadu State Government which had initially been most
enthusiastic about the Mukhyasevika orientation project, did not take the
necessary steps to implement a reorganised work pattern necessary for the
training to be meaningful. This was due to conflicting pressures of other pro..;
gram me activities on Mukhyasevikas. Frcm a position that it would ensure
all trained Mukhysevikas to implement the revised work pattern, the Tamil
Nadu State Government moved to a decision to do this in one district and
even this was not implemented.
Besides the doubts raised by these problems, the organisation of
further training programmes in Rajasthan has been deliberately held back
by the Foundation for another reason that the Foundation has been inter-
acting with Rajasthan State Government for a possible role in the UNFPA
project districts. In view of this development it was felt that rather than
train all LNEOs in Rajasthan who then like Tamil Nadu may not receive
the necessary backing to make the modifications in their working pattern-
it would be better to pick up women functionaries within the UNFPA
project districts, ensuring that they have the requisite back-up to apply the
training. It is hoped that work can be taken up in the coming months,
alongside a larger involvement in the project districts.
The Foundation supported the Indian Association of Parliamentarians for
Population and Development in the organisation of its earlier conferences
at the National and State level, providing it with technical assistance and
communication materials for dissemination to promote discussion and
debate. As these materials were found. to be useful, a request was made by
the IAPPD to the Foundation, for it to continue support to its work with
|

similar technical materials for the other State Conference it proposed to
conduct across the country.
Materials were provided for State Conferences in Karnataka and
Maharashtra during 1981. During 1982 there was only one conference held
by IAPPD in Madhya Pradesh. But a series of conferences are now
scheduled for 1983. As and when further requests are received further
materials pertaining to the areas will be made available.

After the publication of the results of the 1981 Census, the Foundation
decided that apart from looking at the Census in general, it would be
necessary to enquire into the decadal growth rates at State level and bring
out the policy and programme implications of the findings. The'Study
seeks:
i) to identify, on the one hand, the policy and strategic inputs and the
processes which have favourably influenced family planning in Gujarat,
Orissa, Punjab and Tamil Nadu and on the other, find out the organisa-
tional and infrastructural deficiencies which have impeded the program-
me in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
ii) by studying all aspects of programme performance to put forward
practical suggestions for improving performance in poor-performance
states.
Present Status
A major task involved in this proje:t was the assembling of the available
information and based on their analysis prepare structured questions for
three levels:
a) Political Leadership (Chief Minister/Health Minister);
b) Executive level (Commissioner and Secretary, Health);
c) Professional level (Director of Health and Family Welfare).
Based on the replies to the structured questions and the interviews conduct-
ed by the Programme Director, Statewise reports have been brought out

The Foundation shared with many others the concern that though over
Rs 1,000 crores have been spent on family planning programme, there was
no commensurate impact on population growth rate. Therefore, it was
considered necessary that a study be undertaken on spending pat!ern of
funds in relation to family planning activities and demographic outcomes.
The project has two major objectives:
a) to design the format of a data bank which will contain information
about expenditure pattern and physical achievements under the family
planning programme in a format which will easily render itself to
critical analysis by researchers, and
b) to conduct an analysis of the data stored in the data bank (with
regard to policy implications) as an illustration of the usefulness of the
data bank so designed.
The progress has been disappointingly slew. It is only after several
reminders that a reply was received on December 27, 1983 (one month
after the expiry of the project period) that as there were difficulties in
getting data from the Government of India, the work was suspended for
for some months since April 1, 1983. Efforts are being made to get at least
a report based on the data for Maharashtra and Gujarat which have been
collected.

comprehensive study of the interrelationship in its multi-dimensional aspects.
It is, therefore, intended to have a network of projects which would be

The Task Force deliberations enabled the preparation of background
papers which formed the basis for soliciting project proposals from
different institutions. Over a dozen proposals have been received. Based on
these, a detailed proposal was sent in July 1983 to the International E>eve-

The size and growth of India's population has been a matter of concern
and the Working Group on Population Policy in its recommendation
suggested the reduction in fertility to the level of NRR= 1 and also express-
ed an opinion that such a task could not be easy unless there is effective
participation of people in the family planning programme. The Centre for
Policy Reseaarch undertook the study to examine:

i) How do people participate? What are the institutional formal and
informal structures and processes of participation?
ii) What is the level of effective citizen participation in successful cases
and why?
iii) What are the factors behind non-participation?
The Report on the Study was received in December 1983 and was consider-
ed in a seminar in January 1984. The Centre for Policy Research would
bring out the final report. The major recommendation is that people's
participation, being not autonomous, needs to be mobilized as a matter of
deliberate policy and that in this task the best instruments are elected
panchayats and voluntary agencies. The recommendations are based on
case studies of voluntary agencies: The New Delhi Family Planning Asso-
ciation, The Gandhigram Institute, The Vadu Health Project (Pune) and
the Jamkhed Project as weB as the Panchayats in Madhya Pradesh and
Gujarat. Socio-psychological factors emerge as the causes of non-
participation and apathy.

In 1973, the Foundation commissioned three Studies on Population
Research to understand the research that had gone on in India on
behavioural sciences, demography and biomedical research. These have
served the purpose as reference literature. The Advisory Council recom-
mended the recommissioning of the study after a suitable review of the
earlier version not only to update them but to make them more relevant.
An expert has been identified for Biomedical Research, but the search is on
for other areas as the authors of the earlier version are not available.

Broad-based Research Programme on Infant Mortality and Fertility and
the Implications of the Inter-relationship for Family Planning
The question of high rate of infant mortality in India has been engaging
the attention of the Foundation and it was felt that the factors responsible
for such mortality be enquired into so that suggestions could be offered
for reducing infant mortality. During the last one year, the Foundation
has been working on the formulation of a comprehensive research pro-
gramme covering the multi-dimensional aspects of infant mortality. The
Foundation had set up a Task Force and based on its deliberations and
further discussion, a note entitled "Needed Study and Research in Infant
Mortality and Fertility and their Inter-relationship" was prepared.
In order to develop suitable projects in these areas, twenty experts
(in the field of demography, sociology and anthoropology, medicine and
operations research) were requested to indicate the subjects on which
they would like to carry out research. Over a dozen preliminary proposals
from leading institutions in sociology, demography, health and manage-
ment have so far been received.
The preliminary proposals received were analysed in terms of their
objectives, methodology and priorities. The representative of the Inter-
national Development Research Centre (lORC), Canada, during the visit to
the Foundation on the 1st and 2nd of March 1983 observed that these
projects were impressive and that the institutions and directors of the
projects were of high standing. Based on the interest envinced by the
IDRC, the Foundation drew up a proposal with an overall budget of
Rs 27.5 lakhs, the contribution by the Foundation being Rs 7.5 lakhs
against the anticipated assistance of $200,000 by IDRCo However, in
view of the limited resources of the Foundation, which could further be
affected on account of the new finance bill, on reconsideration it was felt
that the Foundation could ill-afford to spare funds for this project. In the
event of IDRC providing the entire cost, the Foundation would undertake
the organisation of the study programme and render support services such
as liaison, monitoring, etc. Accordingly, the experts and institutions have
now been invited to submit the full proposals so that the funding level
could be determined for making a proposal for IDRC assistance over a
3-year period.
Rs 30,000 (sanctioned in March 1982) for preparatory work. Regarding
the main research, the possibility of funding by International Development
Research Centre, Canada, to the extent of $200,000 is being explored.

Socio-Economic Determinants of Age of Female at Marriage and its Effect
on Fertility Behaviour in India
A considerable concern has been expressed in various quarters over the
population growth rate during the decade 1971-81 as revealed by the 1981
Census. Although population growth rate over the decade 1971-81 has
more or less remained at the same level as over the previous decade of
1961-71, it has worked on a much greater population base adding about
15 million new borns to the stream every year. Consequently, measures
io control fertility behaviour continue to be a major concern in the context
of India's population problems.
In pursuance of identifying such measures to contain population
growth, age of female at marriage has been considered by the demographers,
population experts and other social scientists as cne of the most crucial
socio-economic factors to achieve this end. In China, the most populous
country in the world raising age at marriage of the females achieved
through changing social customs and through mass participation of women
has been identified as the most effective, crucial and vital measure to lower
fertility rates. In India, raising age at first marriage of the female will not
only contribute to curtailment of the reproductive life span of the mother
in a substantial measure, but will also lead to improvement of maternal
health thus lowering the incidence of infant mortality.
Various socio-economic measures linked up with marital behaviour
of females, namely, per capita income, schooling rates of girls leading to
female literacy, generation of employment through higher female work
participation rates in various occupational categories, etc. display both
short- and long-term linkages with female age at marriage.
Lack of clarity about and understanding of various socio-economic
and demographic factors and their inter-relationships lead to misconcep-
tions and sometimes pursuit of wrong policies. This clearly points to the
need for an approach to policies from a systems point of view. With a
properly structured simulation model, one can test alternatives and ("volve
optimum strategies. The Foundation therefore considered a study through
The Systems Research Institute, Pune, to analyse the medium- and long-
term demographic and socio-economic implications of raising the age at
marriage of females with the help of a system simulation model.
The System Research Institute, Pune, has submitted its final report. The
study brings out the impact on population of four strategies:
|
|
6.6 Page 56 |
▲back to top |
1. India achieves Kerala's 1971 pattern of age at marriage by 1990;
2. School enrolment in India by 1990 is raised to the level obtaining in.
Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Punjab in 1981;
3. India achieves Kerala's 1971 literacy rates by 1990;
4. Along with strategy 2 better literacy rates are applied.
A comparison of simulated results reveals that direct control .of age
at marriage (e.g. by effective legal measures) under strategy 1 brings only
limited reduction in population growth besides generating a lot of social
tension. On the other hand, a rise in age at marriage, if brought about
through related factors like literacy and education (as in strategies 2 and 4)
could curtail population growth more effectively. There is a qualitative
difference between these approaches. This population simulation model
(POPSIM) has potentialities for a wider application which are being
studied by the Foundation.
FPF, ESCAP and the Indian Association for the Study of Population
(IASP)
This project came up as a result of interaction between the Economic and
Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Family
Planning Foundation, for bringing out a Monograph on the Population of
India. This is to be prepared on the basis of-a general design for all the
countries in the region. The Executive Director discussed the general
approach of the project in October 1976 with the ESCAP. The study got
under way in June 1978. The project is being funded by the Foundation
and the ESCAP. Later the Indian Association for the Study of Population
(IASP) was invited to collaborate in the project because of its high
technical standing in the field of population.
The Family Planning Foundation convened a meeting of all the
chapter writers and had a detailed discussion on the outline and content
of each chapter. The ESCAP entered into a contract with the individual
authors for writing the various chapters.
There has been substantial delay in the first instance because coordina-
ting the work of the several chapter writers and .the corresponding agencies,
namely the Foundation, the ESCAP and th~ IASP between themselves
and the authors. Secondly, the delay in the latter part was a result of

deliberation action. This was done to revise the relevant chapters in the
light of the 1981 Census and its likely implications for not only contents
of the chapters but also for its policy implications.
The entire manuscript consisting of all the chapters has been completed
as part of a co-operative endeavour between IASP and the Foundation.
The monograph in a complete form has been sent to ESCAP (Population
Division). After the political editing by the UN has taken place, it will be
published as a UN document. It will be identified as a joint work of the
Foundation, the UN and the IASP.

Population in India's Development-1947-2000,
Study
A Recomissioned
This would be a combined effort of the Family Planning Foundation,
Registrar-General's Office and the Indian A!isociation for the Study on
Population (IASP).
This project was undertaken especially for the World Population Con-
ference in 1974 held at Bucharest, Romania, and was considered to be
very valuable. The publication was purchased in bulk by the United
Nations for distribution to all the delegates .. The Indian delegation had
the advantage of this publication, apart from what the Government prepar-
ed for them. The idea of bringing out the publication was to look at the-
whole question of population of India in the context of developmental
programmes within an overall policy framework. The Advisory Council
at its meeting held on 28-11-1981, recommended that some of the studies
supported, earlier and/or commissioned by the Foundation be recommis-
sioned. The idea was to update them and revise them in the light of
current needs. This was one of the projects recommended as it was consi-
dered useful to the Indian delegation participating in the World Population
Conference in 1984.
The objectives of the recommissioning would be to bring out the publica-
tion would have relevance to the World Population Conference in 1984 in
Mexico. The publication based on commissioned papers would need to be
revised as to content, form and other aspects, so that it becomes relevant
to the population problem as extant in the eighties. The Registrar Gene-
ral's Office, IASP and the Foundation have informally discussed this as a
possible joint project. The expenditure on this, as in previous publication,

would be for payment to various authors and also other supportive work.
Forty chapters are expected in the publication. The whole exercise would
be revised in the light of discussions with the Registrar General's Office
and the IASP. The publication would be as relevant as possible for our
time.
In the light of the information interaction that the Foundation had with
the Registrar General of India and the officers of the Indian Association
for the Study of Population, it has been decided to reconceptualise and
revise the design in such a manner that it will conform to the basic objec-
tive as approved by the Governing Board. At the same time, it would be
relevant and necessary to produce something meaningful for the World
Population Conference. The study would be,designed in a rigorous con-
ceptual framework that it subserves the cause of both research and policy
in the country.

Status Study of Population Education Research in India
K Sadashivaiah
Chandrakala Dave
Present work is the outcome of the review of various Doctoral and Master's
degree theses in the field of Education and Home Science - some of them
are journal articles, papers presented in conferences and some unpublished
reports obtained by personal contact as well.
There are over 59 studies conducted in the field of Population Education
during the period 1968 and 1980. These studies are classified into four
categories: Exploratory, Curriculum Development, Teaching Methodology
and Innovation and Experimentation. Under those categories, these have
been presented as far as possible in a common format. The studies have
been arranged serially and in chronological order of their su bmission to the
concerned university and for publication.
The Governing Board sanctioned a publication grant of Rs. 5,000 for the
study at its meeting held in December 19:s2 subject to the satisfactory
review by the experts.
Manuscript was sent for review to the two expeJts and their comments were
received. The manuscript along with the comments of the reviewers has

Strategies for Population Control
Dr K Mahadevan
The study is an attempt to highlight the considerable knowledge that
exists in the field of sociology, anthropology and other social sciences for
strengthening population control and other development programmes in
the field of social development. The selection of the chapters has been
made to bring about the empirical and theoretical understanding of various
concepts of behavioural sciences and explore their application for popula-
tion control. The other main purpose of the study is to simplify and
synthesise certain valuable findings extant in research reports for their
value to students, researchers, change agents and administrators so that
they can use them effectively for promoting social development programmes.
The themes covered are mostly anthropological and sociological in nature,
they could be relevant to students of psychology and other social sciences.
A publication grant of Rs 5,000 was sanctioned for the above manu-
script by the Family Planning Foundation in the meeting of its Governing
Board in December 1982.
The study report was sent to two experts in the field for review. One expert
has sent his comments on the study other has regretted his inability to
review. The manuscript is being sent to another expert for his comments.
As soon as the comments of the reviewer are received, the same will be
forwarded to the author for reviewing the draft of the manuscript for
publication.

Dr S Chandrasekher, wrote a series of papers in 1957-1962 based on the
data collected in 1956. Though the baseline available consisted of data on
economic infrastructure vital events and family planning, the authors have
enlarged the scope by including social structure, culture, health and
medical care and socio-economic change in their contextual relevance to
get a clear indication of the demographic profile including family
planning. The attempt was to make restudy more holistic, comprehensive
and analytical. The Governing Board meeting held in December 1982,

If India has to make a real dent into the population problem, there is
critical need to promote spacing methods. Motivation for accepting spacing
methods by younger couples requires techniques and approaches
different from those used for sterilisation. The Foundation, therefore,
organised - the Workshop to focus on social aspects, manufacture,
marketing and lEe and other non-biomedical aspects of pill promotion.
The Rapporteur's statement were prepared for inclusion in the report.
A draft declaration was drawn up which is yet to be finalised. The
recommendation regarding concessions in import duty on the steroids
imported was sent to the Government. In order to prepare a comprehen-
sive report, the Foundation wanted the authors to revise their paper in the
light of the discussion in the Workshop and also update them. But
barring three foreign authors, there was no response and the progress is
not satisfactory.

Objectives
Present Status
To develop a training that would orient mukhyasevikas to the family
planning and women's development issues leading to their greater
involvement in family planning and better performance in the field.
The demonstration training effort succeeded so well that during implemen-
tation the project was further expanded in its original objectives at the
request of Government of India, to develop and conduct a course for Key
Trainers of Mukhyasevikas from some Northern states and to implement
the training in a pilot area. The Key Trainers course for North Indian
States took place, but while orders were passed by Tamil Nadu Govern-
ment to implement the reorganised role of' Mukhyasevikas as suggested
by the training in this project, it could not happen. However, the training
and materials developed during this project have fed into the thinking
and material development undertaken by GOI to revise the role and
functions of this category of workers for a new scheme-DCWRA-which
has been developed by Ministry of Rural Development, as a major thrust
for the work of Mukhyasevikas across the country.

Over the last few years, there has been a considerable concern with the
long-term implications of the growth of India's population on economic
development and the quality of life for its masses. The project seeks to
develop alternative population scenarios and study:
i) whether it is feasible to bring about a more effective relationship
between economic development and population growth;
ii) whether it would be possible to meet the minimum needs of the
people at an earlier period;
in) whether relationship can be established between high income and
reduction in the rate of population growth.
The publication 'Population and Development' has been brought out by
the Centre for Policy Research. Of the 36 socio-economic variables
studied, seven were identified as having significant influence on birth rate:
(i) Effective female literacy, (ii) Crude death rate, (Hi) hospital beds per
1,000 population, (iv) radios per thousand population, (v) motor vehicle
per thousand population. (vi) per capita income at current prices, and
(vii) per cent of villages electrified. Though the study suggests· policy
implications of various findings, it needs to be further pursued at the •..
disaggregated level for a better understanding of the relationship between
socio-economic variables and fertility behaviour.

It was felt that a population of one billion in 2000 AD would leave very
little options because of the overall constraints. The Foundation therefore
commissioned this study to bring out the implications of population
growth in India by 2000 AD.
The publication 'India's Population-Aspects of Quality and Control' was
brought out in two volumes in 1978 as a FPF/ICSSR book and the
project was closed on 1.4.1978. Based on the material gathered for this
book, there more publications were brought out by ICSSR.
i) The Status of Women: Household and Non-household
ii) The Status of Women: Literacy and Employment
iii) Implications of Declining Sex Ratio in India's Population
The book has been widely welcomed for its broad sweep with its
developmental relevance and serves as an invaluable source of reference.
Institution

Objectives
The project aims at:
i) studying the inter-relationships of socio-economic inputs in the family
planning programme in Tamil Nadu; and
ii) identifying the factors responsible for regional differences in family
planning acceptance.

Work on the project has been completed. The typescript of the report
based on multi-variate analysis of data was received in 19l50 and was
referred to two experts for comments. But the comments have not been
sent to the Gandhigram Institute and hence a final report is not available.
After completing the project, the Gandhigram Institute sent proposals for a
second phase with part-funding by the Foundation, but this has not been
considered. The data analysed in the report is now obsolete and of
limited use because of the radically changing population scene in Tamil
Nadu, thanks to the political support to the programme.
