i. Test tube baby programme In this method, the fusion of ovum and sperm is done outside the body of a woman (in
vitro fertilisation) to form a zygote which divides to form an embryo. The embryo is then implanted m the uterus
where it develops into a foetus and then into the child.
ii. Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) In this technique, the embryo is formed in the laboratory by directly
injecting the sperm into the ovum followed by embryo transfer.
iii. Artificial Insemination Technique (AIT) Semen (containing sperms) from husband or donor is artificially introduced
into vagina or uterus (IUI).
iv. Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT) Sperm and unfertilised ova are transferred into the Fallopian tube of the
female to complete fertilisation and further development.
