The National Family Planning Programme in India primarily aims to promote contraceptive use and provide education to control the population growth and improve maternal and child health. It encourages both temporary and permanent methods, including male and female sterilization, to empower individuals to make informed reproductive choices. The program emphasizes awareness and accessibility of contraceptive services to reduce unintended pregnancies and associated complications. This approach helps in achieving sustainable development and improving quality of life.
