      and Injectables with a Special Focus on Jharkhand, India: A Brief Review.

AB  - The National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-3 clearly delineates that the usage of 
      contraceptive practices has increased considerably but is more inclined toward 
      terminal methods of contraception especially the female sterilization. The fact 
      is also evident from various studies carried out from time to time in different 
      Indian states. Given the context we carried out a short review to understand the 
      family planning practices, programs and policies in India including implants and 
      injectable contraceptives with a special focus on the state of Jharkhand. We 
      found that among the reversible methods IUCD (intra uterine contraceptive 
      devices), OC (oral contraceptive) pills and condoms are the most commonly used 
      methods. In this review, in addition to national picture, we specially focused on 
      the state of Jharkhand owing to its very gloomy picture of family planning 
      practices as per NFHS -3 reports. The current usage of any methods of 
      contraception in Jharkhand is only 35.7% out of which terminal methods especially 
      female sterilization accounts to 23.4% and male sterilization being only 0.4%. 
      Similar picture is also reflected in the conventional methods such as; IUCD-0.6%, 
      oral pill -3.8% and condom-2.7%. Compared to the national figure the unmet need 
      for family planning in Jharkhand is also relatively high for the conventional 
      reversible methods than that of terminal methods which is 11.9 and 11.3 
      respectively. Injectable contraceptives are available only through private or 
      social marketing channels, because of which their use is limited. The studies 
      carried out in different Indian states show improvement in contraceptive 
      prevalence but the same needs further improvement.
