The year 1984 was traumatic for India. Our beloved Prime Ministel' Mrs Indira Gandhi fell
victim to assassins' bullets and a very difficult situation prevailed in the country in the wake of
her death .. The. family planning programme which had picked up momentum over the early 80s
with the personal support of Mr! Gandhi-who resolutely pulled the programme out of its earlier
controversies-also. faced a minor setback as the overall climate in the country appeared
uncertain.
Fortunately, within months of assuming charge, our new Prime Minister, Mr Rajiv Gandhi
backed by a massive people's mandate has brought renewed purpose and hope to this work. In
fact today, there is reason to be hopeful that after years of trials and tribulatioM, the family
planning movement is coming of age in national priorities.
Addressing the Second National Conference of Parliamentarians on Population and Deve-
lopment in New Delhi on 13 May 1985 the Prime Minister categorically asserted his govern-
ment'scommitment to the family planning programme which he declared to be crucial, not only
to India but to the whole world. He pinpointed the uncontrolled growth of population as impact-
ing adversely on the country's economic growth and indicated his government's determination to
"link it with every facet of development" and "attack it from all sides." This expression of
concern and commitment at the highest level is most reassuring. Equally encouraging is the fact
that our Parliamentarians themselves are now taking the initiative to focus attention on this issue.
Further, some of them are proposing to be personally involved at the field level, within their own
constituencies. Support of members of Parliament and legislative assemblies is a most heartening
development for, as the peoples representatives, they have the capacity to make family planning
a true people's movement.
Further reason for hope comes from an analysis of the latest available family planning
acceptance figures at the district level. It is to be noted that as of March 1984 as many as 27
districts ia the country had already crossed 50 per cent acceptance. Several had reached 60 per
cent-the goal set for the'year 2000 AD; Maharashtra's performance is particularly noteworthy
on this score. Fifteen of its 31 districts and all 3 corporations had achieved couple protection of
50 per cent or above in March 1984. The overall average of the state was reported at 48 per cent
then and should have exceeded 50 per cent by this year.
Similarly, Punjab, Haryana and the Union Territory of Pondicherry are already in the
40 per cent and above bracket. While ~erala's overall performance is brought down by the con-
siderable variatidn between its districts, at least 2 of the 13 districts have already reached the
century-end goals and another 5 are forging well ahead. Similarly Gujarat, though rating an
overall average just below 40 per cent, has reached the family planning century-end goals in 2.
districts and is surging ahead in another 5. That progress of some substance is taking place in
such varied parts of the country augurs well indeed.
However, the northern heartland most particularly the two most populous states of Bihar
and D.P. remain around an appallingly low 15 per cent level of couple protection and Rajasthan
is only slightly better at 17 per cent. Jammu & Kashmir, at,13 per cent. di$(iI~1 a ~till. more

grave situation. A differential approach that tackles specifically the problems of these areas is
called for.
As we stand ou the threshold of the Seventh Five Year Plan, a clearer understanding of the
two-way link between population and development strategies is vital. New directions and
emphasis in public policies are needed that will underline this two-way interaction, for the inter-
twining of population policies with those of socio-economic development is crucially important
to the achievement of a better life for our people. Therefore stress must be on appropriate deve-
lopment thrusts that simultaneously move the nation into wider acceptance of the small family
norm. Alongside, much greater investments are needed in the direct family planning and
maternal and child health programme. The strategy and allocations of the Seventh Plan are
presently anJl:iouslyawaited by the public. The extent to which the government invests in the
family planning, literacy, anti-poverty and women's and children's development programmes, all
of which have been identified as major supports for family planning acceptance, will demonstrate
its sincerity and seriousness of purpose. We hope there will be no cause for disappointment.
There is also a need to step up the availability of funds to the NGO sector for family
planning and allied development work. Work of this nature, particularly family planning, which
deals with the most intimate area of human life, cannot be left to the impersonal bureaucratic
machinery. The time has come to ensure that every institution and every citizen in this country
is mobilised to work for family planning promotion and that support is forthcoming on a suffi-
cient scale to organisations having the necessary credibility and accountability to take up the
work in ways that they think will yield results in the short-run.
The Family Planning Foundation as a leading NGO in the field has been attempting to play
a catalytical role within its limited capacity. We have reorganised the Foundation's activities
from this year to be more practical, pragmatic and result oriented.
a) Accounts for the year ended 31.12.84 annexed on pages 93-111 show that during the year
ended the Foundation has
11 received donations of Rs 84.72 lakhs from the industrial and business community in
India.
ii) earned Rs 32.62 lakhs as interest on its investments.
iii) sanctioned Rs. 7.12 lakhs as project support for various programmes.
iv) disbursed Rs. 12.58 lakhs as grants in instalment for ongoing projects sanctioned in
1984 and earlier.
v) incurred an expenditure of Rs. 9.88 lakhs on establishment.
b) As shown on page 109 of this report, in the last 14 years of its activity, the Foundation
has supported about 190 projects all over the country allocating a sum of nearly Rs. 188.61
lakhs. Of'this amount the Foundation has actually disbursed Rs. 165.91 lakhs with an outstand-
ing commitJIient' of Rs 22.70 1akhs.
.

It is a matter of great satisfaction that due to concerted efforts, during the year the Foundation
was able to collect donations of over Rs. 84.72 lakhs. A corpus of 300 lakhs has been establish-
ed. The Foundation will have about Rs. 45 lakhs by way of interest, from which grants to
projects and establishment expenses could be met. It will still be necessary to exercise the utmost
economy on expenditure on establishment as well as administrative components of the projects
supported by the Foundation as the inflow of donations in 1985 onwards will be adversly affect-
ed by the change in the Tax Exemption provisions mentioned later in the report.
a) The Advisory Council has recommended that the basic thrust of the policy laid down by
them was to develop a five ye:.u perspective plan of work for the Foundation keeping in mind the
desire for practical, pragmatic and result oriented activities. With a view to enabling the Founda-
tion to carry on the programme in the light of the recommendations of the Advisory Council a
budget of Rs. 30 lakhs for project support and Rs. 11.67 lakhs for establishment charges for the
year 1985 has been kept.
b) I had referred to in my report for the year 1983 that financial support of 247,200
Canadian Dollars (nearly Rs 25 lakhs) would be forthcoming from the International Develop-
ment 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 has
been formulated. As against this a sum of Rs 10.67 lakhs has been received and the project
design has been finally drawn up which would be implemented from the second half of 1985 for
a period of three years.
Income Tax Exemption Status of the Fonndation
Until 31st December 1984 the Foundation enjoyed tax exemption under Section 35 (1) (ii) and
10 (21) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, which extended 100% tax exemption without any upper
limit on the donations in the hands of donors as also on the entire income of the Foundation
by way of interest from investments. The Foundation's exemption under Section 35 (1) (ii)
expired on 31st December 1984. Two applications, one under Section 80G (2) (a) (VII) and
another under Section 10 (23C)(iv) have been filed with the Central Board of Direct Taxes. These
applications are expected to be finally disposed of and two notifications under the above two
sections are expected to be received by the Foundation. While the donations to the Foundation
from 1.1.1985 would be exempt totally, there will now be an upper aggregate of Rs 5 lakhs for
such donations prescribed under the Act. At the instance of the Foundation, the Ministry of
Health is understood to have recommended raising of this upper limit to Rs 10 lakhs and the
matter is separately under consideration of the Ministry of Finance.

The year under review could be described as one of internal review and introspection and
reorganisation, with a view to identify and strengthen the role of the- Foundation and move·
towards goals of a more relevant kind.
Before we come to the details of this overall stance, it would be desirable to briefly review
the population situation in the year under review. The Chairman's review has given broader
perspective of the national picture vis-a-vis population. A few more ideas of a specific kind are
set forth here which I think have some bearing on the role and responsibility of the Foundation.
1. The Population Situation
One single most important factor to note in the population situation is the increasing confidence
in the government circles about solving the population problem. However, this does not fully
match with tbe realities extant in the situation.
The Government has set for itself certain clear-cut demographic goals-these are to
achieve 60 per cent protection tor the couples of reproductive age to bring down the birth rate
from 35 to 21 and infant mortality from 114 to 50 by the year 2000 A.D. State-level goals for
achieving the national goals have been set. Barring a few states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu,
Kerala and Orissa, the picture varies from the very discouraging to the very dismal. The popu-
lation scenario presents a picture of real concern. Taken as a whole, both from the past per-
formance and the future action on the basis of the proposed thinking, planning and efforts going
on, it is more or less certain that the country will not be able to achieve the goals in the major
part of the country. The country, therefore, has to gear itself for solving the problem with a
much higher level of determination and also reorganising the effort with a more radical stance
within a forward-looking development framework that is relevant to our needs. What is required
is inter alia a two-fold thrust namely:
i) A much stronger and better planned and articulated thrust that is at the same time
socially and culturally sensitive.- This should change the charactcr of the population
effort to one that is central to the pace of national development efforts.
ii) The upgradation of the efforts of non-governmental organisations in population and
development that will lend to the national effort much needed innovation and time
bound creative experimentation. This should provide an opportunity for collaboration
of a more dynamic kind between the Government and the non-governmental organisa-
tions with the tested strategies of the latter. At this point of time this is a critical need.
Happily, the Government itself has in recent months been seeking the active help of the
NGOs with their higher degree of flexibility. There also seems to be more open-mindedness on
the issue of cooperation and a more forthcoming attitude in dealing with finances. The. need for
more flexibility-a spirit of understanding and accommodation is being recognised. These are
positive developments that augur well for the future.
A population sensitive stance is also emerging in-some of the development ministries about
population. This is yet another encouraging development. But the quality and extent of this
thrust is not yet sufficient.
The international population scene has been characterised on the whole by national efforts
of a more determined kind.' There has been significant success in several developing countries
and an identification of key development areas for special efforts has resulted. The International
Population Conference at Mexico City added much to the evolution of an awakened inter-
national community of concerned people in population.

2. The Foundation's Continuing Role
Against this background, the Foundation has endeavoured in the last one year to further
activiso itself, as an organization with a creative and innovative stance working in a spirit of
independence andfiexibility but seeking opportunities to work closely withthe government in a
spirit of cooperation and understanding.
There has been specific stress in the Foundation in its overall work in the area of communi-
cation, dissemination and the strengthening ~'fthe "NGOsector. ,Besides,this, .there. has been an
active inward look at the Foundation itself in a spirit of self-learning for self-improvement.
. The fo110wing pages reveal the· stance indicated above with regard to the workofthe
Foundation.
3.lntemaI Organisation
. a) As part of the above stance, the Foundation undertook an exerciseto get its internal
organisation system examined independently by the Administrative Staff College of India. Its
recommendations were to improve the internal functioning of the Foundation, coordination,
evaluation and monitoring. These have been examined and action i~ being initiated to imple-
ment them. This will be a continuing exercise.
b) The role of the Advisory Council and Panels has been considerably revised. The member-
ship of the Council has been slightly reduced. The Council is expected to have a more intimate
involvement in the development of the policy of the Foundation. They will look into the overall
'work stance of the Foundation each year in a two day meeting. An overall list of panel members
has been prepared with a view to set up specific sub-panels as required for the projects and the
areas sought for involvement from time to time. The list would be expanded asneed.ed.
4. Staff Reorganisation
As part of the above, the staffing pattern has been considerably revised. There will be supporting
staff consisting of the Secretary/Treasurer, Director (Evaluation) and Director for Programme
J;)evelopmentto provide support for the Foundation's activities and there wiil be Programme
Directors commensurate with the programme needs and the areas identified for involvement by
the Foundation from time to time. As part of the reorganisation, Ms Rami Chabbra continues to
work as Programme Director (Communication). Mr Balakrishnan has been appointed as the new
'SecretaryfTreasurer and Mr Ramabhadran who was Programme Director (Special Studies) has
been appointed as Director (Evaluation). Other senior staff for Programmes would be appointed
as needed. All senior staff appointments will be contractual.
.5. On--goinaProject Work
The number of projects that are being supported has been reduced. This in PaTt has been due to
'two reasons-reorganising of finances and the pre-occupation with reorganisation, some of the
programmes, have been carried on, specially in the biomedical area, but in a limited way. The
. most important being the herbal contraceptive 'Banjauri' at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical
• Education and Research, Chandigarh. It is under rigorous scientific test. The communication
activities have been stepped up particularly of an active kind vis-a-vis the media. Some of the
older programmes ·have been strengthened and others streamlined. The work in the Bhatinda
: Project with its focus on using the cooperatives as an agency for promoting health and family
planniug activity has received a spur by its being extended by a large grant by the Government
of India:
The Foundation has once again extended its assistance to the Indian Association of Parlia-
.mentarians for Population and Development' for the organising of its Second Conference of
.' Parliamelltarians on Population, and Development, which was inaugurated by the Prime Minister
Mr Rajiv Gandhi.

Promotional and Dissemination Activities
While the number of projects supported during the year under review have been considerably
less then the pr.:ceding years, the promotional and dissemination work of the Foundation has
gone on unabated. Some of the highlights are indicated below:
a) The publication of the Fundation-People Show the Way-which was undertaken at the
instance of of the Government of India and was distributed at the International Conference on
Population at Mexico City has been well received. There has been an increasing demand for the
publication, in both English and Hindi. More copies in both languages are currently being
dii:seminated.
b) The Six State Study which was commissioned by the Foundation is being well received.
The overall reports of the states are being discussed with the help of the Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare with the concerned States. So far one such discussion has taken place: with the
Rajasthan Government. Promising follow-up is expected. More states are to follow. A briefel
version of the report is being widely disseminated.
c) The report of the Task Force on the World Bank Report 1984 is ready for extended
national and international dissemination.
d) Monograph on Population and Development: Towards the 21st Century was prepared by
Professor Moonis Raza, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi. This was an input of
the Foundation for the Indian Association of Parliamentarians on Population and Development
(IAPPD) Conference. Prime Minister Mr Rajiv Gandhi .has shown considerable interest in the
publication. Some of the parliamentarians have also shown interest in the monograph. This was
part of an attempt on the part of the Foundation to strengthen the interest and involvement of the
parliamentarians in population and development.
e) Atlas of the Child in India. This is a new publication out of a project commissoned by
the Foundation and undertaken by Professor Moonis Raza and Dr Sudesh Nangia. It provides
a comprehensive picture of the status of the child with special focus on population and develop-
ment, particularly children's welfare. The UNICEF has subsidized cost of the publication to
ensure wider dissemination. The publication is to be released at a special function.
/) An audio-visual show commissioned by the Foundation has been prepared by the
National Institute of Design. This was shown at the IAPPD Conference and will be available
with the Foundation for use by others. It is also being transferred to video for wider screening.
Income Tax Status
The Foundation since its inception has enjoyed the three way tax concession. The donors have got
a 100 per cent rebate for their donations, a similar concession Was enjoyed by the Foundation as
the recipient of the donations and the income on the investments by the Foundation was also
exempt from tax. This was because we were recognised as a research organisation and were
brought within the purview of Section 35 (i) (II) of the Income Tax Act. After all these years the
Government took a;view that these concessions were applicable only to the organisations which
were actually undertaking research and not promoting and supporting research. After considerable
~ffort it has now been possible to brin~ the Foundation under the purview of 81 (G) which is of

2.7 Page 17

arestricted character. However, the Foundation was able to rais~ a substantial amount of money
wttioft 'i_OulctbeJp' U5 to' 'carry~ on' the 'Work more" or les's at the sante level of funding and
supporting as we have done before. However, new status will call forre-organising the fund
rai~ing an.d related activities, somewhat differently.
8. New Office Building
During the,year utlder review, it has been possible for the Foundation to get land from DDA in
in an institutional area near Qutab Hotel. The Foundation is currently finalising plans for the
office building. Hopefully within the next two years the Foundation would have its own building.
9. Outreach Programmes
Apartfrom the ongoing'work of the Foundation, the senior staff have been active in population-
t~lated activities in the year under review outside the Foundation. These are extended activities
of the Foundation which add to the contribution that the Foundation makes for population
cause. Some of them are indicated below:

The project was reviewed by a Peer Group in August 1983 followed
by the visits of experts to the project site at Bangalore. Based on these
assessments, the results were considered encouraging as far as rodent and
sub-human primate models were 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.
In November 1984, and again in March 1985 the Project Director
requested for extension of the Project till 31st March 1986. The project
was extended upto 31st December 1985 by the Governing Board at its
meeting in March 1985. A clarification has been sought from the Project
Director that the continuance of the project beyond 31st December 1985
upto 31st March 1986 would be without any further financial commitment
on the part of the Foundation. A technical progress report has been

sought to provide through this Task Force meeting an independent and
objective assessment of the injectable contraceptive which eould hell' 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 intetnational 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 would be preferable in the IDdian cont~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
exp~ts, who participated at the meeting. He is being asked to expedite the
report.

males and females. The fourth ,approach was to develop a vaccine against
the sperm antigens occurring at a later stage ofde~lopment.
The gondatrophin 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 immunnogens.
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, B·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 procine zona pellucida which has
proven cross reactivity with other species has resulted in block of fertility
for 8-10 montes in the ongoing study. The use of the some antigen along.
with more acceptable adjuvants is also under study. Several clones
secreting specific antibodies against different antigenic regions of the
procine zona pellucid a have been established. These monoclonal antibodies
hrve 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 the "unisex" molecule whose molecular structure is conserved
through the species affords an opportunity to work on appropriate model
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 effect ou
fertility. Muramyl dipetides (MDP) are being used along with LHRH
both as carrier and adjuvant. Other formulations including introduction
of "spacer" betffieen the hormone and MDP are being tried. Monoclonal
antibodies have also been raised against different peptide fragments of
LHRH. These are being used to delineate the important antigenic dete.

under the Joint-Indo-US Sub-Commission on Science and Technology for
the Development of an Antifertility Vaccine based on Immunization
against DHRH in the Male.
With the additional input from the government through the NCP the
anti-pregnancy vaccine is under constant improvement. The conjugation
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 immutization with hormone- TT conjugates is being
monitored by an enzyme linked immunoassay developed in the laboratory.

Calcutta. Over the past year there has been considerable improvement
noted in the acceptance of health and family welfare services in two of the
three areas. Immunization services have registered a substantial increase
in all three areas. However, the basic premise of the project which has the
ambitious aim of total social transformation is seen as too difficult to

This project aims to invoive the 'rtlilk cootterative infrastructure and
demonstrate their potential for primary health and family welfare work.
It also aims to build one model for such work that could be self-stifficient
in a certain time frame. Despite considerable initial teething troubles and
the difficult political situation in Punjab, the project had gained the involve-.
ment of the milk cooperatives in Bhatinda District. The pilot ..prqject h~
also demonstrated a workable methodology and tangible benefits through
the fieldwork done in 14 villages-these included 414 F,amily,flanninl
acceptors (through ste'rilisation and Copper T) another 600 through CC,
and 650 children covered with three doses of immunisation, besides various
other health care and sanitation activities. A community, biogas plant
funded by GOI Science and Technology Department has also been con-
structed in one of the project villages. The work done through the pilot
project has resulted in an expanded project of nearly 1 crore-funded to the
extent of 75 per cent by GOI with 25 per cent input from the Guru Milk
Union and the local community being developed, which is to be launched
shortly.

community that is considered lagging in family welfare, in the promotion
of communication -activities in this field, and ii) to develop successful
character prototypes using the puppet medium for a video serial that could
provide appropriate software for Doordarshan. Jamia Millia has involved

Director
Institution
Date of Sanction
With the publication of the 1981 Census results, the Foundation decided
that apart from looking at the Census in general, it Was necessary to
enquire into the decadal growth rates at state level and understand the
demographic variations in the light of social and programme factors,
thereby bringing out the policy and programme· implications. Six States
with varying growth rates were selected. Policy and strategic inputs
favourably influencing family planning in GUjarat, Orissa, Punjab and
Tamil Nadu and organisational and infrastructural deficiencies impeding
the programme in Rajasthan and UP were to be identified. For the pre-
paration of statewise reports a major task of the project was to elicit
information from three levels of leadership: political, executive and
professional. The Reports on five States (excluding Punjab) were prepared
and sent to the programme managers. At the invitation of the Government
of India, Mr Ramabhadran would be presenting the reports to a joint
meeting of Central and State officials. The first meeting is scheduled for
12 June 1985 when the report on Rajasthan would be presented.

Brief Description
Project Title
The concern for Rs 1,000 crores spent on the family planning programme
with no commensurate impact on population growth rate led the Founda-
tion to study the spending pattern of funds in relation to family planning
activities and demographic outcomes. Accordingly, the project objectives
are to design the format of a data bank which will contain information
about expenditure pattern and physical achievements of the programme
and to illustrate the usefulness of the data bank by conducting analysis of
the data stored therein. Under the project, data was collected in
Maharashtra and Gujarat, but the response was feeble from the other
States.

High infant mortality in India has both influenced family planning adoption
and is influenced by it. There has been no comprehensive study on the
multi-dimensional aspects of the infant mortality problem nor on the inter-
relationships between fertility and infant mortality. It is therefore intended
to have a network of projects which would be implemented by leading
institutions in sociology, demography, health and management.

The two projects are reported together because of the common conceptual
approach. The first project is a historical study of population policy and
its implications for family planning programme. The second was
designed to study the experiences of family planning acceptors in 1975-77.
A review of all available literature and documents pertaining to the first
project has been conducted. Useful data on experiences of those sterilised
and non-sterilised, explanations from officials at all levels and drawn
from different states and their views on establishing method of participation
is reportedly available.

According to the Working Group on Population Policy, the task of
reducing fertility to NRR-l is not possible without effective participation
of the people in family planning programme. The project therefore under-
took to study how and through what formal and informal processes and
structures people participate, the level of citizen participation in successful
cases and factors behind non-participation. The major recommendation is
that people's participation being not autonomous, needs to be mobilised as
a matter of deliberate policy and that in this task the best instruments are
elected panchayats and voluntary agencies. Based on case studies of the
following voluntary agencies: New Delhi Family Planning Association of
India, Gandhigram Institute, Vadu Health Project, Jamkhed Project,
Panchayats in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, socio-psychological factors
emerge as the causes of non-participation and apathy.

The 1971-81 decadal growth rate adding about 15 million new-born every
year has caused considerable concern. Fertility control measures, their
identification and interrelationships continue to demand the highest
priority. Age at marriage is one such crucial factor. A need was felt there-
fore to design a properly structured population simulation model based on
a systems approach and in a certain time-frame explaining inter-linkages
between age at marriage and socio-economic factors, so as to evolve
optimum strategies and test alternatives. Raising age at marriage without
related key soCial changes like literacy and education are found to increase
social tensions.

The overall objective was to facilitate better achievement of the various
health and family planning programmes in rural areas by:
i) adopting Athoor Experience of in~reasing the efficiency of the ANM,
intensifying the motivation work and involving the non-government
agencies;
ii) improving the management and recording system;
iii) energise the Madarsangams (Mother's Club).

Though it was a collaborative venture, the Tamil Nadu Government had
not made available the services of the MPW (male). The Gandh'igram'
Institute recruited and trained personnel, developed a recording system,
energised few Madarsangams and impr6'vect the ~illlitation by providing
household latrines at subsidised cost. The Institute submitted t4e Report in
1982. The efforts made by the Foundation to p-e'ffuade the 'Unlli11Nidtr
Government to provide the multi-purpose workers of the Project and to
unify the' control at the district level were of no avail. The FouuclaBo'o's
funds enabl~d the Gandhigram Institute to pursue ,the project objectives
but the failure of the Tamil' Nadu Government to phlY their role led to the
premature closure of Phase II of the project and non-fulfilment of project
objectives.

To develop a model delivering integrated health care including family
planning services and involving community participation.
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 women under-
went sterilisation and another 2,321 adopted other methods. This was in
addition to wide-ranging changes in environment sanitation, resulting in a
dramatic decline of gastro-intestinal infections and other communicable
disease. 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 treatment of
health problems giving primacy to indigenous remedies where suitable.
The Gram Nirman MandaI is now involved in socio-economic
development work of some scale with Ford Foundation and other funding.
The health and family planning consciousness built through the FPF pro-
ject is a part of its thinking. The Vjllage Health- Committees continue-to

Background
i) Intensive population education-creating awareness of populatIon

ii) providing family planning services through the delivery of medical
care at the doorsteps of people in selected villages.
This project was started in 1976 and was reviewed from time to time by
site visits. This project was also reviewed by the Evaluation Committee
appointed by the Governing 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 method'S 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 arc being continued with the same tempo as hitherto through the
financial support ptovided by the State Government.
, Village Level Health and Family Planning Workers(Case Studies)
Commissioned by the Family Planning Foundation
The Foundation is organising the project, including the Workshop
Rs60,OOO (sanctioned ihJuly 1975)
This is a project for identifying and defining the roles and functions of the
community health workers through the development of case studies of
relevant experiences in the field, with special focus on family planning,
followed by a Workshop. This subject is particularly relevant in the present
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.

7.2 Page 62

▲back to top


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) Raipur 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
Jnternational 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. Foundation 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

those involved in action programmes, senior field-oriented staff from the
government and leaders from voluntary organisations will be invited for the

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 the Government of India, to develop and conduct a course for
Key Trainers of Mukhyasevikas from some northern states and to imple-
ment 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.

Phase· I: To help recreate an urgency for family planning work in the
media and amongst critical levels of leadership.
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 function-
ing of the Foundation from inception, but particularly so from June 1980.
It has, therefore, constituted one section within the Foundation, contribut-
ing to its overall activities of project development and monitoring, work:-
shops 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.
2. Family Planning Foundation Awards for Various Categories of FP
Communication.
3. Communication Workshop for Developing Materials and Enhancing

Developing an Institutional Base in a Northern State for Orientation
Training of Key Women Development, Functionaries
The Foundation had an earlier project in Gandhigram for Orientation of
Mukhyasevikas in health and family planning in which nearly 200 Mukhya-
sevikas from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu received training, alw
instructors from some of the Northern States participated and observed one
session. As a direct follow-up of this effort, it was attempted to d~p1icate
within a northern State the training carried out by Gandhigra:~" in
the South. In view of the keen interest to promote. family plannil)g shown
by Rajasthan, this 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 conduct-
ing training for officers of its development departments.

7.9 Page 69

▲back to top


One training programme was conducted in the Insti(u~ of Community
Development, Udaipur, with the collaboration of Gandhigram and local
Udaipur institutions and this has been reported upon last year. The
evaiua'tion 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
programme activities on. Mukhyasevikas. From a position that it would
ensure all trained Mukyasevikas 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 lole in the UNFP A
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 takcn up in the coming m~nths ,
,
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
~he IAPPD to the Foundation, for it to continue Sup}:crtto its work with

similar technicai materials for the other State Conference it proposed t()
conduct across the country.
Materials were provided for State Conferenees in Karnataka and
Maharashtra during 1981. During 1982 there was only one conference
held by IAPPD in Madhya Pradesh. Bu(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.
Population Policy-2000 AD-A Study of the Relationship between Popu-
lation and Economic Development
November 1977
19 months (extended by six months)
Rs 95,000
Rs' 94,775
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;
iii) 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) Effec-
tive female literacy, (ii) Crude death rate, (iii) 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 impli-.

It was felt a population of one billion in 2000 AD would leave very little
options because of the overall constrains. The Foundation therefore com-
missioned this study to bring out the implications of population growth in
India by 2000 AD.
Present Status
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 ofWon1en: Household and Non-household
ii) The Status of Women: Literacy and Employment
iii) Imp1ications of Declining Sex Ratio'in India's Population
The book has been widely welcomed for its broad sweep with its
development relevance and serves as an invaluable source of reference.

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 1980 and was refer-
red 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 his has not been
considered. The data analysed in the report is now obsolete and of limited
use because of the redically changing popuhition scene in Tamil Nadu,
thanks to the political support to the programme.
Objectives
Pr esent Status
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 updata them but to make them more relevent.
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.

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 prcpar·
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 o"erall policy framework. The Advisory Council
at its meeting held on 28.11.1 981, 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 considered
useful to the Indian delegation participating in the World Population
Conference in 1984.
The objectives of the recommissioning would be to bring out the public·
ation 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 it such a manner that it will conform to the basic objec.
tive as approved by the Governing Board. At the sam. 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.

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 Educa-
tion 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 submission 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 1982 subject to the satisfactory
review by the experts.
Manuscript was sent for review to the two experts and their comments were
received. The manuscript along with the comments of the reviewers has
been sent to the author for revision. The revised manuscript from the
author is still awaited.
The study is an attempt to highlight the considerable knowledge the 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 undetstanding of various
concepts of behavioural sciences and explore their application for popula-
tion .control. The other matin purpose of the study is to simplify and
synthesise certain valvable findings extant in research reports for their
value to students, researchers, change agents and administrators so that

8.5 Page 75

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 othe 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 inabilty to
review. The manuscript is being sent to another expert for his comments.
As soon as the the comments of the reviewer are received, the same will be
forwarded to the author for reviewing the draft of the manuscript for
publication.

This study conducted during 1977-78 is in the nature ofa disachronic study
of a village, Mangadu in Tamil Nadu, in which the famous demographer
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 the study more holistic, comprehensive and analytical.
The Governing Board meeting held in December 1982, approved a grant
of Rs 5,000 for publication of the above study, subject to satisfactory
review by experts.
Manuscript was sent to two reviewers for their comments. The Reports
from the reviewers have been received and sent to the author to finalise the
manuscript in light of the comments of the experts. A revised report from
the author is still awaited.

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
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 inclussion in the report. A
draft declaration was drawn up which is yet to be finalised. The recom-
mendation regarding concessions in import duty on the steroids imported
was sent to the Government. In order to prepare a comperhensive 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 there
foreign authors, there was no response and the progress is not satisfactory.
