QUESTION NO. 367 FOR 4th MARCH, 2002 ..
There has been a paradigm shift in the Family Welfare Programme under which fixing of targets has been
abandoned. Instead the `Target Free Approach (TFA)` was adopted since 1st April, 1996 all over India and
the system of decentralized participatory planning is brought in place. TFA has been renamed as
Community Needs Assessment Approach (CNAA) from 1997. Under the new approach i.e. CNAA attention
is being paid towards providing quality of care in respect of basic and essential family welfare services. This
serves to shift the emphasis from quantitative or numerical targets in the achievements of family planning
acceptance to the qualitative aspects of integrated service delivery. Another important aspect of the new
approach is to ensure community participation in the implementation of the Family Welfare Programme at
the grass-root level.
Since October, 1997 Government of India (Department of Family Welfare) has introduced Reproductive and
Child Health (RCH) Programme which is being implemented under the new approach i.e. decentralized
participatory planning under which annual action plan is oriented from the grass root level giving adequate
attention to the care of health of pregnant women, infants and children including acceptance of
contraceptive method according to voluntary choice for using any method.
The requirement of Total Fertility rate (average number of children per couple) of 2.1 towards achieving
population stabiliation has already been achieved in 9 States and Union Territories. They are Tamil Nadu,
Kerala, Goa, Nagaland, Delhi Pondicherry, A&N Islands, Chandigarh and Mizoram.
The 12 States and Union Territories which have total fertility rate of more than 2.1 but less than 3.0 are
Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Orissa, Manipur,
Arunachal Pradesh, Lakshwadweep, Daman and Diu and Sikkim. Many of these States have made
strenuous efforts to improve their indicators in respect of fertility regulation.
There are 1 States and Union Territories that have total fertility rate of over 3. They are Uttar Pradesh,
Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Assam, Haryana, Gujarat, Tripura, Meghalaya, Jammu & Kashmir,
Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
No special assistance or incentive is extended to the states performing better. However, due to better
performance under various family welfare schemes they get more funds for those schemes. Further, in
order that the Governments persue the agenda for population stabilization, the number of representatives in
the Lok Sabha has been frozen till 2026 at the population level of census 1971, through Constitution (91st
Amendment) Bill passed by Parliament in August, 2001.
Details of assistance provided to the States/UTs under the National Family Welfare Programme during the
last three years is enclosed at Annexure.
