Fond Memoirs with
the Population Foundation of India
Governing ~oard Vice ~halrman (i~'~ - i~~~),
Chairman (1993 - 2007)
Random excerpts from speeches on various occasions during last 5years:
"The Foundation, since its inception,
has displayed a vision to make planning
for small families a socially acceptable
and sustainable behaviour norm and
dedicated itself to the cause of human
welfare through family planning,
reproductive and child health services
and other population programmes.
The vision also encompasses serving the
economically weaker and marginalized
sections living in the socially and
demographically backward districts
of the country for sustainable social
change."
Annual General Body Meeting
2002-2003
"It is my pleasure to welcome you to
the Annual General Meeting of the
Foundation. This is the dawn of a
new era: a new government in office
with a renewed focus on social sector
especially primary education and
health, a vibrant voluntary sector,
increased collaborations across various
stakeholders and the evolution and
realization of Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR). There is now as
never before an opportunity to address
the problems of various sections of our
people through team effort."

"The Foundation aims
to promote, expand,
build awareness and
strengthen commitment
towards a rights based
approach to population
stabilization through
empowerment
of
women, increased male
responsibility, a life cycle
approach to reproductive
health, gender equality
and equity, informed
and expanded choice
of contraceptives and
promotion of small
family norm by forging
meaningful partnerships
with in titutions both
in public and private
sectors. "
Annual General Body
Meeting 2004-2005
"India is at a stage of
demographic transition
with a high proportion
of adole cents and
_ young people. There
are 33.1 crore young
people (in the age group
10-24 years) in India,
representing little less
than one third of the
total population. This
group is the biggest
and largest generation
of young people India
ever had.
In our
country investing on
young people's health
and development will
result in expediting the
process of population
stabilization.'

"The rural urban differential i
Bihar indicates significantly lowe
levels of fertility and mortality in
the urban areas. In addition, th
pace of decline in fertility an
mortality is higher in the urba
centres than the rural areas. This
presents a ray of hope that the
conditions achieved in the urban
areas of the state can be pace
setters for the state as a whole with
concentrated efforts."
State Level Advocacy Conference on
Population Stabilization,
Health and ocial Development
Issues in Bihar on
December 14-15, 2002
"I am happy to note that recognizi ng
the gravity of the situation;
Government of Jharkhand has
taken a series of steps such
increase in budget allocation t
public health institutions, up
gradation offacilities, and improve
monitoring and evaluation 0
programmes. All these measures
need to be backed by long-term
and sustainable strategies.
If the RCH approach is
implemented in letter and spirit in
Jharkhand, I am sure, the fertility
and mortality rates would fall
significantly in the state in the
coming years."

"Application
of any
index to measure the
development of Orissa will
be a demonstration of its
low position in the national
scale. People in Orissa
are among the poorest in
India.
Recommendations
for greater political
commitments
by the
elected leaders in each of
their constituencies are
particularly relevant to
Orissa. Elected political
leaders should ensure that
the government ervices of
primary education, primary
health care and family
planning are accessible
to all their constituent
population."

"As we all know, stabilizing
population is an essential
reqUIrement for promoting
sustainable development with
more equitable distribution.
Sustainable
development
is very closely linked with
gender, equity and equality.
Unfortunately,
adequate
steps were not taken to
tackle the issue of population
stabilization and sustainabl
development immediately we
independence."

"The Population Foundation of
India has played an important
role in advocating and
lobbying with successive Prime
Ministers, political parties and
Members of Parliament on the
critical issues of Population and
Development. The suggestions
put forth by the Foundation
through such efforts have
fortunately been considered by
the Government in formulation
of the National Population
Policy."

'The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the
conviction and the will to carryon.'
- Walter Lippman
On July 10, 2007
Dr. Bharat Ram,
Founder and Chairperson of the governing board of Population Foundation
of India left for his heavenly abode. Dr. Bharat Ram was a visionary, a leader
and a source of inspiration and guidance to all of us at PFI.
Through this humble effort of putting together excerpts from his
autobiography and his involvement with the Foundation, the members of
the Governing Board and the staff of PFI wish to pay a tribute to Dr. Bharat
Ram for his invaluable contribution, unending commitment and personal
attention paid by him to help achieve the goals of PFI.
Thank you for giving us the conviction and will to carryon.
