Abstract

This article analyses family planning performance in India based on a composite performance index which is newly developed for this purpose. The analysis suggests that there has been an improvement in family planning performance in the country over time. However, the performance remains poor, and there is substantial scope for further improvement. The analysis also reveals significant variation in family planning performance across India’s states/union territories and districts. The classification modelling exercise undertaken in this article reveals that districts can be grouped into eight clusters in terms of family planning performance. The districts are essentially different in different clusters on both the demand met for family planning and the composition of the demand met. This article emphasises that family planning in the country must be promoted as a development strategy rather than an intervention to limit births.
