Abstract:

This article discusses in 3 parts the early efforts, the wider recognition and the continuation of programs of the Family Planning Association of India (FPAI). Early efforts, starting in 1949, include financing, education, training, provision of contraceptives and facilities for family planning purposes. The FPAI gained a wider and more popular recognition nationally when it developed its action programs specifically aimed at men working in industries such as factories and plantations. This increased recognition helped to reinforce a series of governmental policies, such as extending the family planning grant-in-aid scheme to industrial concerns. The FPAI's continuation programs include a series of feasibility surveys between 1967 and 1971, motivation and education programs, contraceptive services and follow-up studies. The FPAI's requirements for these programs deal with management cooperation, time allocation for education, managerial staff members and their role in the program, provision of facilities, leave pay allocation, and contraceptive availability.
