Abstract
INTRODUCTION : India is the second most populous country in the world next to china. Despite this the massive population base of around 1100 million at present and Coupled with a natural increase of 1.7 percent in India is a matter of serious Concern. The National Population policy -2000 document clearly stated that Population growth in India continues. Even though the growth rate of several Other developing countries is even higher than that of India, it must be Remembered that the population base of India is very large and therefore even a Low growth rate leads to substantial addition to the population in absolute Numbers. If the current trend continues, India will overtake china in 2045 and Will become the most populous nation in the world. National population policy 2000, stated that stabilizing the population is An essential requirement for promoting sustainable development with more Equitable distribution. It also stressed that the population growth in India Continues to be high on account of the large size of population in reproductive Age group and high fertility rate due to unmet need of contraception. The Immediate objective of the policy was to address the unmet need of Contraception. The middle term objective is to bring the total fertility rate to Replacement level by 2010, through vigorous implementation of inter sectoral Operational strategies. The long- term objective is to achieve a stable Population by 2045 at a level consistent with the requirement of sustainable Economic growth and development. OBJECTIVES : 1. To find out the prevalence of contraceptive usage (Both temporary and permanent) among the rural married women of age group 15-49 Years. 2. To calculate the unmet need of contraception among nonusers. 3. To find out the factors associated with the non usage of Contraception. JUSTIFICATION : 1. Though the fertility rate in India, has decreased to 2.76, it is still above the replacement level. 2. Though 42.3% of eligible couple uses one or other method of family planning, they discontinue them3. The reason for which has to be identified, so that remedial measures taken to stop discontinuance. 3. There is still an unmet need of 14.1%, which has to be addressed to achieve more success in our effort to control population. 4. Unmet need of contraception can lead to unintended pregnancies, which poses risk for women, family, and societies. Reducing which can prevent 20-35 per cent of all maternal deaths. 5. Rural area has higher unmet need (14.1%) when compared to their urban counterpart, i.e (9.7%) due to various factors, resulting in large family size. 6. As per the 2001 census, 72.22% constitute the rural population in more than 550,000 villages. 7. Finding factors which lead to unmet need in rural population and addressing them helps achieve the national goal. 8. The national policy on population and development focuses on meeting, rather than trying to change, people’s needs and aspirations. We have set a goal to reduce the unmet need to zero by the year 2015 in the five year review of the International conference on population and development.
