The survey
found that female sterilization is the most preferred method of family planning
while percentage of male sterilization continues to remain negligible. This is in spite of lot of propaganda made for
making it popular among males in the entire Indian population.
More
than half of currently married woman aged 15-49 years are not using any method
of family planning in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar.
As many
as 98 districts have reported less than 50 percent current usage of any method
of family planning. Only 12 districts of 284 surveyed districts feature in 70
percent and above category.
