According to Department of Health (DOH) Family Planning is a program

that enables parents to deliberately and responsibly decide the number and spacing

of their children, by avoiding for the time being, or even for an indefinite period, a

birth.  It is not a prognosis imposed on the parents but an expression of responsible

parenting based on informed choices and decisions of couples to achieve their

desired family size based on their social and economic capacity. Also the

to a denial of dignity for women and girls that undermines their control over their futures

in already precarious times. Family planning saving lives but ripple effects make it

According to Mutharayappa R. Higher levels of literacy and a high rate of acceptance of

family planning methods, however, have been observed among these tribes compared to

the rest of the tribal population in the state. 46.4% of currently married women aged 15-

49 years in the tribes were acceptors of family planning methods. The adoption of

spacing methods is less common among tribal people. Most acceptors received their

operations through government health facilities. They were motivated mainly by female

health workers and received both cash and other incentives to accept family planning.

While on the other side, reasons for non-acceptance of family planning among non-

acceptors was the desire to conceive and bear more children, an old tradition.

According to study, eligible rural women who were unwilling to accept family planning

methods revealed that many women were concerned about child survival and viewed

children as a source of support in old age. Family size was usually decided by in-laws. It

also shows pressure from in-laws to have more children was significantly higher in

families where the women were less educated or illiterate.

On the study ,the main reasons for non-acceptance of contraceptives method was desire

for child (31.17%) followed by fear of side effects (21.05%). Want of male child and

opposition by husband accounted for 8.45% &12% respectively. It shows health teaching

family planning of government and health workers should be more take seriously to be

able to understand the importance and a good effect of family planning too the mother,

family and community.

According to Household Interview Survey in Remote Rural Areas for Evaluation of the

Government--supported Community Health Practitioner Program a total of 4083

households were interviewed. The met rate of need for family planning among currently
married and fecund women ages 15-44 is 79%; and it shows, the unmet rate remains at

21%. The unmet need for family planning is characterized by ages in the 30s (particularly

ages 30-34), low education, and low socioeconomic status, and numerous children (3-4).

The expected maximum level of family planning use rate/100 currently married and

fecund women is estimated at 76.6% by use of 2 variables of woman's intention to

become pregnant and contraception use.

According to study, among the demographic characteristics and cultural variables of the

respondents, age of both spouses and the cultural group of the husband had a high

significant relationship with fertility control practice. The ideal number of children was
