Family planning refers to practices that help individual and couple to attain certain objectives, to avoid unwanted birth, to bring about wanted births, to regulate the intervals between pregnancies, to control the time at which birth occur in relation to the ages of the parents and to determine the number of children in the family. Family planning has been recognized as a basic human right by United Nation in 1968. India was the first country in the world to start a national family planning programme, officially launched in 1951.1 Contraceptive methods are, by definition preventive methods to help women to avoid unwanted pregnancies. They include all temporary and permanent measures to prevent pregnancy resulting from coitus. The last few years have witnessed a contraceptive revolution that is, man is trying to interfere with the ovulation cycle. It is clear that contraceptive is safe, effective, acceptable, inexpensive, reversible, simple to administer, independent of coitus, long lasting enough to obviate frequent administration and requiring little or no medical supervision. However, the method which is suitable for one group is not suitable for another because of religious beliefs, and social economic milieu. According to the present approach, the programs offer all methods from which an individual can choose according to his needs and wishes to promote family planning as a way of life. The success of any Contraceptive method depends not only on its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy but on the rate of continuation of its proper use.
