Studies of implementation of NRHM and Janani Suraksha Yojana in India have revealed that monetary rewards for producing babies in health facilities have reportedly created an impression, in the rural and tribal districts, that the government is no more serious about family planning, or it wants to raise the number of children. Thus the beyond family planning measures may in certain conditions boomerang.

CONCLUSION

To sum it up, it may be argued that the issue of implementing family planning programme and beyond family planning measures is not of choosing one approach over the other or of putting higher stress on one at the cost of the other. If the goal is to reduce fertility, both the approaches need to be used simultaneously.
