 Family planning and welfare programme is but an essential part of the overall Rural Development Programme. With a view to create awareness for control of population growth, the Sangha, through its Centres, conducts this programme through Home Visits. As a result, many mothers have been made aware of the importance of the issue and have largely adopted temporary methods for family planning which include use of condoms and tablets. Condoms and tablets are distributed through the Mobile Medical Unit. Laparoscopic Litigation Camps were organized with mothers having undergone strilization operations successfully.
However, the Government does not allow conducting of such camps directly nowadays. Health Guides of the Sangha motivate mothers to visit the nearby Government Health Centres for such sterilization and ligation requirements.
