CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS
Eliminating unsafe abortion and pre-birth sex

Combatingsexuallytransmittedinfection,including
HIV, reproductive tract infections, and other
gynecologicaml orbiditiesa; nd
Promotingsexualhealth.
It is my pleasureto welcomeyou to the Annual
GeneralMeetingof the Foundation.As you are
awaret,hePopulationFoundatioonf Indiaisdedicated
to promoteeffectiveformulationandimplementation
of gendersensitive populationand development
policies,strategiesand programs.The Foundation
endeavorsto addressthecriticalissuesof population,
healthandsustainabledevelopmenftorbetterquality
of life by increasedaccess to quality services,
promotion of advocacy programmes, capacity
buildingat variouslevelsand facilitatingan enabling
environmenftor optimalutilizationof.resources.
The Foundationaims to promote, expand, build
awarenessand strengthencommitmentowardsa
rights based approachto populationstabilization

responsibilitya, life cycleapproachto reproductive
health,genderequalityand equity,informedand
expandedchoiceof contraceptivesand promotion
of small family norm by forging meaningful
partnershipws ithinstitutionbs othin publicandprivate
sectors.
This visionencompasseservingthe economically
weakerandmarginalizedsectionslivingin the socio-
demographicallybackwarddistrictsof the country
for sustainablesocialchange.
Thestrategic focus of the Foundation
and Action Researchon the five core aspects
Reproductiveand SexualHealthServicesI
thatarecruciatlo populationstabilizationand
welfare.The Foundationhas identified
areas as:
Improving antenatal, perinatal,
newborncare;
Providinghighqualityservicesfor FarT)jl
includinginfertilityservicesand Ad
and ReproductiveHealthservices;
Approach: The Foundationconsidersrights-based
frameworkand gendersensitivityas cross cutting
approacheisnallitspopulationprogrammesA.holistic
view towardssustainabledevelopmentand issue
based networkingwith civil society organizations
remainour key approach.We realizethat Family
Planningis veryimportantand muchneeded;but it
has to be positioned in the broader context of
ReproductiveHealthand ComprehensivePrimary
HealthCare,forbetteracceptabilitayndeffectiveness.
We are continuouslyfocusing on ResultsBased
Managemenot f our programsby usingnewproject
managementframeworks.Baselineand end-line
surveys, setting specific targets, developing
monitorable/measurabilnedicatorsare now in-built
in all majorprojectsof the Foundation.
Inorderto realizeitsaimsandobjectivesP, FIbelieves
in strategic partnerships with otherstakeholders.
PFIcontinuesto followthe"HubandSpokes"model
whereinwe act as a hub providingfinancial and

that peopleare ableto exercisetheirchoices.
Weareat a stageindemographictransitionin India,
where a large sectionof our populationis young.
Policiesand programsin our countryhave largely
ignoredthe specifichealthneedsof this segment.
PFIthroughits variousinterventionsandadvocacy
is working on young people's reproductiveand
sexualhealthissues.
To serve the marginalized and the poor, the
Foundationhasconcentratedon somestates.PFI
has identified327 prioritydistrictson the basis of
composite RCH indicators for population and
developmentinterventions.The compositeindex
helpsus to identifythe mostvulnerabledistrictsin
terms of social, economic, human and gender'
indicators. Similarly,122districtshavingchild sex
ratio less than 900 have been demarcated for
intensiveadvocacyand 138districtswith relatively
higher HIV/AIDSprevalencehave been identified
as priority districts in six states for the ongoing
programs.

We have audited the Balance Sheet of Population Foundation of India as at 31stMarch,
2005 and the Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended on that date annexed
thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
India and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Accounting
Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We report that we
have obtained all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge
and belief, were necessary for the purpose of our audit and that in our opinion and to the
best of our informationand according to the explanations given to us, the said accounts
together with the significant Accounting Policies and Notes forming part thereof and
subject to Note NO.4 regarding non-provision for the possible loss in the
realization of the original value of fixed deposits of Rs. 75 lacs with Cement
Corporation of India and our separate report dated July 27, 2005 addressed to the
Executive Director,give a true and fair view:
