Book Description
There is enough justification for the assumption that while the family planning programme must be quick ended in pace, other nationwide synergistic social and economic programmes must be intensified simultaneously to obtain greater mileage out of the programmes of population control. Without such concurrent, supportive measures the success of population control as a one-shot measure, operated however vigorously over a short span of time is very likely severely to backfire, as indeed it did in the beginning of 1977. Measures to improve the quality of population to the point where the support for tight control measures could be easily generated, are inexpensive and possible at the present level of India’s economic development, provided the ground is cleared for greater public involvement in the welfare and economic programmes through greater vertical decentralization and horizontal spread. The country would never scrape up the financial and other resources to achieve all these targets within the foreseeable future if the programmes continued to be based on standard governmental norms of expenditure, outfit and per capita performance, but could possibly overfulfil the targets if the right type of motivational and organizational effort is mounted to build up on the social deployment of surpluses of human energy and enterprise for community needs.

Pages : 336
Book Description
"The coverage is quite exhaustive beginning with the pre- independence period to the Draft National Population Policy (1994). The author has used his expertise in this field ably. All those concerned with population policies and programmes of the country will benefit from this book. At the same time by providing insights into micro level factors involved in fertility decline, the book also provides ample food for thought to the researchers, NGOs etc. interested in the complex social processes involved in regulating reproduction." --Health for the Millions "The book is helpful in pointing to the role of demographers in the promotion of population control policies." --Radical Journal of Health "The book is about policies and programmes pursued by governments, their effectiveness, and so on. The coverage is quite exhaustive.... Those concerned with policies and programmes will find the book very useful." --Economic and Political Weekly "Starting with interesting anecdotes of population concerns in the preindependence era, K. Srinivasan has tried to make an otherwise terse subject fairly readable, even for those with just a passing interest in demography. He must be given credit for this. . . . The volume scores in presentation of useful data and analysis of India's experience in population control." --Financial Express "Dr. Srinivasan is a demographer of national and international repute who has been actively involved in the formulation of national policies and programs related to population. The book provides a detailed account of the background of the official policies and programs, their working, impact, comparative performance, and shortcomings. . . . The author deserves to be complimented for bringing in one place history, data, methods of analysis, a comprehensive list of programs and policies, and their relative performance. . . . The focus of the volume is timely for the contemporary situation and it will be read and reread by all those who are seriously concerned with the problem. The meticulous editing and slick presentation have further contributed to the book's status. . . . A book worth perusal by population scientists, policymakers, and administrators." --Deccan Herald "A well researched text covering India's family planning programme comprehensively.... An excellent text which should be read by students of population studies and other related disciplines. Faculty and staff working in the Population Research Centres will find it useful as a reference volume." --Social Change Regulating Reproduction in India's Population explores the efforts that have gone into India's family planning program, the results that have been achieved both at the state and national levels, and the implications of successful experiences that might help make the program more effective. Three case studies are presented from Goa, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu to illustrate how these states have successfully achieved the transition to low levels of fertility. The author provides a balanced view of the effects of modernization and female literacy on family planning, and makes policy recommendations that might be crucial at this stage of India's demographic transition. His conclusions are based on data collected from censuses and surveys carried out in different parts of the country. This volume also analyzes in detail the levels, trends, and differentials in fertility and contraceptive use, using statistical methods that are easy to understand and explained along sociological principles. With one sixth of the world's population living in India, what happens in the context of India's population growth will strongly influence the global scene as well. A must for researchers and policymakers keen to see fertility in India drop to levels consistent with contemporary populations.
