About the book

"The Indian family planning programme, one of the largest public health initiatives in the world, has adopted various strategies since its inception - none, however, have yielded the desired results. What are the reasons for this? Why do large sections of the elite blame the population 'explosion' for all the social and economic problems that India face? Answering these questions, the book critically evaluates the family planning programme in India, exposing its biases and skewed priorities." "Well-researched and refreshingly original, this book is singularly relevant today with ICPD marking its tenth anniversary. It will be of interest to scholars of public health, social demography, population studies, women's studies and policy studies. It will also be essential reading for students in the health professions, policymakers, health groups, women's groups, and journalists writing on these issues."--Jacket.
