It is a common view that something is wrong with the family planning programme in India. This is because the birth rate in India persisted at its high level even after the efforts of the first three five-year plans (i.e. till 1966) to bring it down. Even in 1972 the estimate of birth rate is 36.4 as given by Sample Registration Scheme.- Socio-Economic Change during Three Five-Year Plans

During 1951-66 the period for the first three Five-Year Plans, some effective and non-effective attempts were made to change rural India. The idea was to raise and help emerge a new personality structure in rural areas suited for the production of wealth and mitigating poverty. The main tool used was the effort of the five year plans.- Methodology of Family Planning Surveys

IT is proposed to analyse in this article, the interstate differences in vital rates and the recent efforts at promotion of family planning. The idea in putting these two together is to examine possibly the present and the future association between the two. If the fertility rates in the various states are different, the efforts at family planning may have more urgency in those states that have higher fertility than in others. If they are not, the differences in the efforts at family planning may produce differences in future in the fertility rates of the states.- Households in West Bengal and their Headship (1951)

There are no data available for household as a unit in any of the censuses in India prior to 1951. The data In the earlier censuses provide occasionally the number of households and the total population in them so that the average size of households can be calculated for broad regions. But there too, the terms house Mid household are often confused and the data consequently become defective. It was only in the Census of 1951 that some data regarding households were gathered and presents! in the census reports. These included the size of households and their composition.- Possible Targets and their Attainment in the Field of Family Planning in India during 1966-76

It is intended to get here an estimate of the number of couples that may be helped to stop child-bearing so that the birth-rate declines by a given percentage. Hereafter this number is referred to as the target. From the performance of the sterilization programme and the I.U.D. progrramme in a limited area, the possible attainments during the next 10 years in the decline in birth-rate due to these programmes have been assessed in this paper.- After-Effects of Vasectomy

THE after-effects of vasectomy have been the subject of many speculations here and abroad. These speculations centre round such questions as : Is it possible to have normal sexual relations after it? Does vasectomy affect the sexual desire? Does it do any harm to the normal behaviour of a male as a male? Studies to answer such questions being few, we conducted an enquiry into the after-effects of vasectomy with the help of a team of doctors.- Standard Errors of Age-Specific Fertility Rates

In Artha Vijnana, in its issue of September, 1960 as article on graduation of fertility rates was published. In this article a third degree polynomial was fitted to the observed age specific fertility rates for 10 samples of women that were surveyed. Each sample consisted of about a thousand women and the third degree polynomial was found to give a satisfactory fit to the observed fertility rates.- Promotion of Family Planning in Rural Areas-A Field Experiment

A normal procedure for obtaining age-specific fertility rates by means of a sample survey is to enquire about the present ages of the women covered by the survey and whether they had given birth to a child during a specified year such as the year preceding the date of enquiry.- Sterilization Programme:Its Size and Effects on Birth Rate

Any book on the demographic transition in Kerala is bound to attract attention at the moment, since the situation in Kerala is such as (could be described) 'dream came True' - a dream India is entertaining during the last 45 years. Kerala has attained demographic transition with a birth rate, death rate and infant mortality rate, comparable to those of the advanced countries of the world. One wonders what the reasons are behind this achievement, and whether it could be possible for other states of the country to take lessons from it so that the demographic transition in them is accelerated. The problem of population growth in India has become disastrous. The book under review is a great solace.- Impact of Culture, Status of Women and Demographic Behaviour

This book by Alaka M. Basu, visiting fellow at the Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi, is a useful addition to the demographic literature available for India. It examines the effect of culture and the status of women on the demographic behaviour of two groups of women. These are from North and South India living in the slums of Delhi. The demographic practices and attitudes are found to be different in the two groups, the major part of which can be explained by the cultural differences envisaged through the status of women. There are scores of studies in the field which often lay stress on the demographic attitudes of women affected by socio-economic variates. But in the present book the idea is to keep the socio-economic variates constant and attribute the observed differences to cultural ones affecting the status of women.- Towards Gender Justice, Research Centre for Women’s Studies

This book is the first publication of the Gender Series planned by the Research Centre for Women’s Studies. This series seeks to enhance our knowledge of women’s status, problems, and struggles in all spheres of life. The present book takes a comprehensive view of the interplay of legal and social factors which keep women away from getting the full benefits of legal justice. The idea of movement for equal justice in the eyes of the law is relatively new. In the nineteenth century the social reformists tried to emancipate women with social changes radical for the time but certainly not free from patriarchal biases shared by reformers as well as the British rulers. With this gender bias, full justice was bound to be denied to women. But things have not changed much even to-day. This is the theme of the three lectures incorporated in this book.
