Deccan Herald- July 22. 2003
As Dr Lee Jong-Wook — a pubiic heaith specialist from South Korea and a leading light in
colic eradication — takes over office on Monday as Director-General of the World Health
Organization, hopes are pinned on his leadership to tackle the escalating disease burden in
poor countries.

Unlike his high-profile predecessor and former Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem
Brundtland, Dr Lee is a WHO-insider with strong public health credentials. His election to
WHO s top job was a tough race in which he won the final lap by just one vote.
Dr Lee told Deccan Herald last week that he was fully involved in the polio eradication
campaign and has visited Bangalore and Hyderabad several times to oversee the eradication
programme.

’’If I could succeed in polio-eradication, why can't I bring measurable results in tackling
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria?" he asked.
Dr Lee was involved in his country’s ieprosy programme and, subsequently, moved to the
WHO to look after polio eradication.

1 lis motto is guided by three principles: We must do the right things. We must do them in
rhe right places. And we must do them the right way."
He oromised to issue a new global plan by December 1 tojaddress HIV/AIDS. "HIV/AIDS will
be given a renewed emphasis as one of WHO's priority programmes, particularly focusing on
the target of providing three million people in developing countries with antiretroviral drugs
by the end of 2005 (the "Three by Five” goal),” Dr Lee said.

Similarly, he says he will strengthen the global surveillance division to track, down
communicable diseases such as the recent SARS (Serious Acute Respiratory Syndrome) that
hit Asian countries particularly hard.

In response to a question on whether he would choose the practice of declarin'1 travel bans
on countries that face serious communicable diseases such as SARS, Dr Lee said he 'would
not wait for "one second” to impose such a ban if required.
Dr Lee concedes that there have been failings in accomplishing the public health goals set
out in the Alma Mata declaration some 25 years ago: "Health for all by 2000."

He says there is urgent need to revisit the declaration all over again.
Similarly, he agrees that trade-related intellectual property right provisions of the World
Trade Organization should not come in the way of addressing public health problems.

Dr Lee will be assisted by n health experts largely drawn from rich countries to deliver
results in the ambitious agenda that he set out for himself for the next five years.
They include Denis Aitken from the United Kingdom, Jack Chow from the United States to

been estimated that this country,
with its meagre physical and mate­
rial resources, will surpass China

remains unabated. In this article.
the hazards of unrestricted popu­
lation growth have been highlight­
ed. The reasons for the phenome­
nal growth of population have also
been analysed. It has been empha­
sised that, besides taking other
measures, there is a need for
expanding education particularly
among the girls and women in the
reproductive age group. It is also
necessary to involve the communi­
ty in implementing programmes of
family welfare.
Ever since Thomas Malthus
(1766-1834) made his gloomy pre­
diction about expansion of popula­
tion outstripping the growth of
food supplies, the countries have
been taking steps to avert the
catastrophe. In spite of conceited
efforts, the world population has
been increasing exponentially
resulting into, among others, veiy
serious socio-economic disparities
among the various countries. It
has been estimated that of the 4.4
billion people in developing coun­
tries, nearly three Fifths lack
access to sanitation, a quarter do
not have adequate housing and a
fifth have no access to modern
health services. A fifth of primary
school age children are out of

Report. 1998-99).

Precarious position
“The ’position of India on the
population front is precarious. We

the current fertility rate (3.3) is not

2050. As of now, India has 16 per
cent of the world population with
2.4 per cent of the global land area.
While global population has
increased three fold in the 20th
century, the population of India
increased about five times i.e. from
238 million to one billion.
The deleterious effects of the

pronged directions. In 1961, the per

time low of 454 grams in 1981. In
1991, however, it went up to 466 —

India has a constitutional obliga­
tion of providing free and compul­
sory education to children till they
attain the age of 14 by 1960.

Steeped in ignorance
Lack of education is also partly
responsible for keeping large sec­
tions of our population steeped in
ignorance and out of tune with the
changing times. It has perpetuated
our socio-cultural mindset, which
puts a premium on son(s). Many a
time, in pursuance of this selfimposed objective, the production
of children goes on unabated till
either this elusive objective is
achieved or the unfortunate
woman crosses the reproductive
age cycle.
In the process, India’s popula­
tion swells to unaffordable limits.
In this often-time wild goose chase,
our religious beliefs also play their
part: Ashta putra soubhagyavati
bhav (Be the fortunate mother of
eight sons) is the oft-repeated
prayer that is invariably dinned
into the ears of the newly married
woman.
Considering the gravity of the
situation, some drastic measures
are required to remedy the situa­
tion. The Union Government has
brought out the National
Population Policy with the "medi­
um-term objective’ of bringing
down the Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
to replacement level .by 2010. The
long-term objective is to achieve a
stable population by 2040 at a level
consistent with the “requirements
of sustainable economic growth,
social development and environ­
mental protection” (National
Population Policy, 2000).

GOVERNMENT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH

Address by Prof. Prem Kumar Dhumal
Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh

On the occasion of first meeting of
National Population Commission

NEW DELHI

JULY 22, 2000

Esteemed Chairman and distinguished members,
This is a matter of great importance that the Government of India have

constituted the National Population Commission under the Chairmanship of

Hon’ble Prime Minister of India. The ever-increasing population of the country is
also a matter of concern to all of us, which has almost increased five times during

this century thereby depleting the scarce national resources.

This has been possible primarily because of the keen interest and

initiative taken by the Hon’ble Prime Minister and I will like to congratulate him

personally for this. We have also constituted a state population commission under
my chairmanship and I will convene a meeting of this commission shortly. I must

express my deep gratitude to the Hon’ble Prime Minister for having convened the
first meeting of the national population commission promptly and also for affording

me an opportunity to place on record the views of my government on this most

important issue before the country, namely the population problem.

Population of Himachal Pradesh which was 19.20 lakh in 1901 reached
23.85 lakh in 1951 and 51.71 lakh in 1991. The decennial growth was 1.22 in 1911

which rose to 20.79 in 1991. The density of population of the State increased from 34

in 1901 to 93 in 1991. The projected population of the State as on 31 March, 2000 is
61.48 lakh as per the report of the Registrar General India. There has been an

increase of about 10 lakh since 1991 census.
The report of National Family Health Survey-2 (1999) released
recently has shown that the achievements of the State in the field of Family Planning
are quite high and very encouraging. It reveals universal awareness about

permanent methods of family planning whereas knowledge levels about spacing

methods is more than 90 percent. Coverage of eligible couples with family planning

methods in the State is around 68 %, which is quite high. It estimates Total Fertility
Rate (TFR) of the State as constantly declining. It was 2.97 in 1992, which has

declined to 2.14 in 1998. This figure is very close to the national goal of replacement
level of fertility i.e. TFR of 2.1 to be achieved by 2010 as per the National Population

Policy-2000. Other demographic rates such as Crude Birth Rate of the State is 22.5
per 1000 population, Crude Death Rate at 7.7 per 1000 population and Infant
Mortality Rate at 64 per 1000 live births as per the Sample Registration System of

the Registrar General India-1998. These rates are lower than the national averages.

It also shows that the annual growth rate for the State in 1998 as 1.48 percent which

is quite significant. At this rate the population increase is likely to be quite slow in
the State.

However, there is a failure in the form of gap in services, which is

reflected by Unmet Need for Family Planning services. In 1993 it was to the extent
of 15 percent (9 percent for sterilization and 6 percent for spacing methods). It is

also reflected by non-observance of ideal interval (3 years) between successive
pregnancies of births. In the following years the unmet need might have declined

but survey figures are not yet available.

The State has also formulated a long term planning objectives to be
achieved by 2020 by which every resident of Himachal Pradesh will be healthy;
physically, mentally and socially and adopt small family norm. The goal of

Himachal Health Vision 2020 is to achieve CBR 12, CDR 6 IMR at 15 CMR 5,
MMR <100 and TFR <2 and over-all reduction of diseases like diarrhea, acute

respiratory infections Malaria, Leprosy, Waterborne diseases, Anemia and other
micronutrient deficiencies with specific emphasis on the containment of AIDS/ HIV

infections.

Another significant achievement of the State has been increase in age at

marriage for girls. Mean age of marriage for girls is 20.5 years. It is thus obvious

that population situation of the State is quite encouraging and we are well on way

towards containment of population explosion. But we are also faced with constraints
posed by terrain, topography and poor means of communication, which affect the
delivery, and accessibility of services. However in the coming days with

improvement in infrastructure and outreach of services, the State will steadily head
towards a goal of Zero Population Growth.

State has implemented Family Planning programme as people’s movement

and has achieved considerable success in providing information and coverage to
eligible couples by reaching as close to them as possible. As of today more than 3100
health institutions

are providing family planning services as a part of

comprehensive health care.

We are also seeking the cooperation of other related departments like

ISM, Women and Social Welfare, Public Health and Irrigation, ICDS projects,

Education etc. to increase the accessibility of the services. Community awards are
also given to Panchayati Raj Institutions and local self Government institutions in
the form of cash awards. Status of women is quite high in the state, which is

indicated by high sex ratio of 976 according to 1991 Census and 1019 in 1999 as per

NFHS-2. The NFHS-2 also reveals high decision-making power among women in all
walks of life. Recently one study estimated high literacy rates among children (94 %
in boys and 86 % in girls). Female literacy has gone up from 52% to 77 %.

Population education programmes and AIDS education programmes are being

implemented in the State. The State has made provision of free education to women
up to University level. Commission for Women is functional in the State. Numerous
Mahila-Mandals, Mahila -Swasthya- Sanghs are active.

The State is facing problems such as

lack of specialist’s services,

difficult out reach due to mountainous terrain and migratory population. This

hampers the State’s efforts in providing health and family planning services.
Therefore States should be given the flexibility in setting the norms for providing
3

sterilization and other related services. The State is spending about 6 percent of its
annual budget on the health sector. State should be given more allocation for
infrastructure development in the form of externally aided projects or outright
grant from Government of India to meet the higher cost of infrasti ucture

development in the hills.

Research about herbal contraceptives should also be

undertaken in the country for which State has favorable climate and requisite
infrastructure.
The private sector, NGO sector and Panchayti Raj Institutions have

played only a marginal role in Family Planning so far. Private and voluntary sector
is still in infancy in the State Not many private nursing homes are there in the State

nor have they contributed much to family planning but with more of such
institutions coming up in the State, some mechanism is being developed to seek

their involvement. Similarly NGO movement is in infancy in the State. However,

my Government is encouraging the involvement of both, NGOs and private sector.

In the end I would emphasize that the Health and Family Welfare

sector requires enormous resources which the States are unable to meet out of their
own budget. Already we are spending 6 percent of the total budget of the State on

this Sector. More so Himachal Pradesh has a peculiar problem of outreach, where
two districts of the State remain snow bound for about 5-6 months; the terrain is

extremely difficult due to poor means of transport and communication. The

improvement in infrastructure requires a lot of investment; and the State is unable
to provide funds with its meager resources. However, our aim is to reach the
population stabilization much before the goal set by the National Population Policy

2000.

t

OBSERVATIONS ON AGENDA ITEM
“ISSUES RELATING TO POPULATION STABILIZATION”
1- INITIATIVES TO MEET UNMET NEEDS
The State has adopted a two-fold strategy i.e. fixed strategy
whereby sterilization services are provided in health institutions
and secondly camp outreach approach whereby camps are
arranged in the field institutions. This strategy has helped in
making family planning services available in the interior and
rural areas.

a

Grass root level institutions are providing integrated services
such as immunisation, maternal and child care and family
planning services.

The state has popularized a new technique of male sterilization
e. vasectomy in which no incision is required and is virtually
i.
painless with least complications. This is becoming a popular
method all over the state.
Cooperation of all related departments such as ISM, Women
and Child Welfare, Education and Panchayati Raj is being taken
in order to increase accessibility of the services.

Community awards are being given to PRIs and Local Self
Government institutions in the form of cash to ensure better
participation in the family welfare programmes.


PROBLEMS BEING FACED:
The state is lacking the services of Specialist Doctors who are not
available in the state in required number to provide obstetrics
and neonatal care.
Geo-topography of the state hinders outreach and deployment of
manpower in rural, remote and tribal areas.

Large number of migratory population is an inhibiting factor to
provide maternal and child health and family planning cover to
100 percent population.

5

SUGGESTIONS:
Government of India may look into the qualification clause of
graduate medical officers to see whether they can perform
sterilization operations.

Population norm for sub-centres in hilly areas should be down
scaled to one sub-centre for each Gram Panchayat irrespective
of population criterion.
State should be given more allocation for infrastructure
development in the form of externally aided projects or outright
grant from the Government of India to meet higher construction
costs.
State should be allowed to enlarge the package of contraceptives
from the existing one so as to enhance acceptability. Social
marketing of contraceptives must be encouraged.

I 'i

Research about herbal contraceptives should be undertaken in
the Country for which the State has the required infrastructure.
Mobile services for family planning must be started for which
central assistance should be given.

II.

ISSUES OF QUALITY CARE:
With the introduction of concept of quality care under the
Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) Programme, the state is
finding it difficult to provide the infrastructure and trained
manpower on all its components. As a result the performance
under the programme has received a setback. Moreover the
clients have become quality conscious and prefer specialists
services only with the result that the graduate doctors who were
earlier providing the services are gradually disassociating from
the programme.

III. SYNERGY BETWEEN FAMILY WELFARE, HEALTH, EDUCATION,
WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT, CHILD DEVELOPMENT, DRINKING
WATER, NUTRITION, ETC.
The state has been successfully able to converge service delivery
at village level. Health sub-centres, Anganwadis, Mahila
Mandals, Yuvak Mandals and Educational Institutions are
working in tandem. A committee at Panchayat level is being
constituted to coordinate and implement all health programmes
headed by the Pardhan Gram Panchayat. All Government
officials concerned with the programme will be its members.

There is high prevalence of water borne diseases such as
gastroenteritis, diarrhoea, infective hepatitis and enteric fever
etc.. The habit of open defecation further compounds the
problem of water and soil pollution. Large resources are
required to provide safe and potable drinking water for which
liberal Central assistance is required.

IV. ROLE OF THE MEDIA, NGOS, PRIVATE SECTOR, PANCHAYATI
RAJ INSTITUTIONS AND PEOPLE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE
NATIONAL EFFORT TO STABILIZE POPULATION.
Though media has played a significant role in raising awareness
level, its benefit has not been available to vast rural population
due to various factors. However, AIR has maximum reach in
the State through which health programmes are being
disseminated.
The private sector and NGOs have so far played only marginal
role in the State so far. However, the State has constituted a
State level coordination committee for NGOs participation
especially in health, education and sanitation programmes.
State has decided to constitute a committee at Panchayat level in
order to implement all health programmes. Awards are also
being given to Panchayats who show best results in
implementation of Family Welfare programmes every year.

SOME
IMPORTANT
PRADESH;

-

POLICY

SUGGESTIONS

FROM

HIMACHAL

The National Population Policy should
lay
greater emphasis to reward such States which
perform well in terms of arresting population
growth.

The design

for devolution of

resources

through
the
Finance
Commission,
Planning
Commission
and
various
centrally
sponsored
schemes should be made more favourable for such
States which stand out as significant performers
for population control and providing better

quality of health services.

-

Financial norms for provision of services linked
to
population
control
should
be determined

keeping
climate

in view the topography, severtiy of
and
fact
that
administering
health

services
Himachal

costs much more in hill States like
Pradesh. Adequate allowance should be

made in the norms for hill States and devolution
should

provide

for

factors

like

difficult

topography and related issues.

-

A new approach has been initiated in locating
projects for health interventions under which the
district is being taken as a unit. We would like
to strongly favour this approach and emphasise
that preference should be given to such districts
which have performed well in terms of population

control
as
also
in
terms
of
immunisation
converage and health indicators. Such an approach
could lead to a higher success rate of the
programmes and become a good demonstration point

for encouraging competition.

4a

To integrate the spirit of population control
into our process of democratic decentralisation/
we have enacted a law under which candidates
having more than
two children will not be
eligible to contest elections to PRIs. We have
also introduced the new schemes of incentives to
Panchayats

under

which

one

panchayat

in

each

Assembly Constituency will be given a cash award

GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA

SPEECH
OF

SHRI S. M. KRISHNA
HON’BLE CHIEF MINISTER OF KARNATAKA
ON THE

OCCASION OF THE FIRST MEETING
OF THE

NATIONAL COMMISSION ON POPULATION

NEW DELHI

22nd July 2000

Hon’ble Prime Minister and Chairman of the
National Commission on Population, Hon’ble
Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission
and Vice Chairman of the National Commission,
Hon’ble Union Ministers,
Leader of the
Opposition in Parliament, Hon’ble Chief
Ministers, Deputy Chairman, Rajya Sabha,
Distinguished Members, Invitees, ladies and
gentlemen,

It gives me great pleasure to address this
august gathering, at this first meeting of the National
Population Commission, on behalf of the five crore
people of Karnataka,

H

The 21st century has begun for India with
hope for the future. The world has sat up to take
note of a new, emerging power, the fifth largest
economy in terms of purchasing power parity, a
new leader in information technology and the
largest, the most vibrant democracy in the world.
And our billionth citizen Astha, as the representative
of what that future holds for us, has demanded that
the trust reposed by the people in their leaders, to
make their world a better place, must be redeemed
in full measure.

2

I must, at the outset, welcome the efforts of
the Government of India at formulating a new
National Population Policy and in setting up this
Commission. The issues raised in the policy
document, the goals and the strategies will be
debated today and in future meetings of the
Commission. I hope that this body remains active
and vibrant, as much work has to be done over the
next few years for the larger benefit of our people.

Let me spend a minute on the position in our
State, in the area of population stabilization.
Karnataka deserves pride of place in the annals of
the family planning programme in India. In June
1930, the first birth control clinics in the world
were started in Karnataka, one in Bangalore and
the other in Mysore, to advocate small families and
provide maternal health care services. Today, through
our 8143 sub centres, 1676 primaiy health centres,
249 community health centres, 103 post partum
centres and 87 urban family welfare centres, we
provide facilities well above the national norms. Arid
what have we achieved ? A crude birth rate of 36.9
in 1971 came down to 22 in 1998, the crude death
rate declined from 14.9 to 7.9 in the same period.
Our total fertility rate is now 2.13, which already
approximates the national goal for 2010. The effective
couple protection rate has reached 60 per cent.

But what do cold statistics imply? In our
State we are looking at improving the overall quality
of life of our people, not just restricting our numbers.
We do not believe that population stabilisation
measures can be taken without improving the overall
health and nutritional standards of our people. We
feel that the integration of health and family welfare
services are absolutely essential. After all, these
services merge at the level of the PHC, why then
should there be two wings for healthcare at higher
levels? We would hope that the policies of the
Union Government would permit sufficient
coordination between the two departments to obviate
any difficulties in this regard.
In Karnataka, we have taken up a major
initiative to improve our health systems with tire
setting up of a fourteen member task force to advise
the Government on necessary reforms in the sector.
This task force, with Dr. Sudarshan, who is a
member of this Population Commission, as the
Chairperson, is working on a comprehensive health
policy that will also include a population policy for
the State. Perhaps for the first time, such a task
force of outside experts has also been given the
responsibility of overseeing the implementation of
reforms, at least in the initial stages.

4
The question of unmet need is a vexatious
one. While the national policy of institutional
deliveries for the safety of the mother and the child
is laudable, it would be unwise to turn a Nelson’s
eye to the fact that even in our State, about half the
deliveries are outside the formal institutional
framework. Even today, the poor pregnant mother
has no means, both financial and physical, to travel
miles at the time of delivery. We need to go back,
therefore, to the traditional midwife, but in a modem
environment. We are retraining them, giving them
modem kits and facilities, and are even examining
the possibility of giving them an assistant for the
actual delivery; after all, at the time of birth, both
the mother and the child are vulnerable, and the
dai cannot easily look after both. Attention to safety­
issues at the time of birth would improve both MMR
and IMR at the same time. We need the support of
the Union Government in this effort.

In our State, wherever we have a shortage of
auxiliary nurse midwives, we are asking our
anganwadi workers to perform the non-clinical
duties of the ANMs. On the lines of the Government
of India pattern of PHCs with two doctors, we have
decided to provide the extra doctor in all PHCs in
certain backward districts of the State.

5
This brings me to an important area of
concern. While some States, particularly the southern
States, have done well in our population stabilisation
efforts, there are regional imbalances within’the
States which need to be rectified. For example, most
parts of northern Karnataka need to be treated on
a special footing in all sectors of development.
Karnataka's district-wise HDI analysis indicates that
there are districts which are as underdeveloped as
the worst in any other part of the country. I would
recommend that our population stabilisation
strategies include a special, intensive efforts for
backward regions even within otherwise developed
areas.
We consider the reproductive health of rural
women to be of prime importance. To provide better
menstrual hygiene, which would reduce STI and
RTI problems in rural women, we are embarking on
a path breaking pilot project of educating teenage
school girls and providing personal hygiene kits at
a cost of up to Rs. 18 crores to our own exchequer.

There is another, related, area of concern. And
that is of the pernicious HIV virus. Along with our
sterilisation campaign, which is the main focus of
our stabilisation programme, there is need to put in

6
an increased effort at condom promotion. This
could perhaps become the most important plank, of
our population programme in the future.

In Karnataka, we believe that the main
determinants of good health lie outside the health
sector in sanitation, water supply and literacy. We
are, naturally, placing an emphasis in this direction.
Though our literacy rate is about 63%, we are
concerned at the low levels of female literacy and
have made education for girls upto the pre-university
level completely free. A major initiative towards a
comprehensive village sanitation programme has
been started this year. We acknowledge that the
nutrition needs of children, particularly in the zero
to two age group need to be addressed for reducing
IMR and we are working on a combined health,
nutrition and population project. However, we feel
that a much larger initiative from the Centre with
regard to these sectors would be necessary in the
coming years.

A word about the role of the voluntary sector.
In Karnataka, we have encouraged NGOs to run our
primary health centres on behalf of Government.
Two such are being run by NGOs in tribal areas,
with great success; we are presently discussing with

7
the FPAI for them to take over a few more and we
are mandating that each of our medical colleges
should provide rural service by “adopting” a few
PHCs each for primary health care. We believe that
the empowerment of the people can be better achieved
with the involvement of the voluntary and the
private sector. They also have their own skills and
expertise which the Government is trying to tap.
I welcome the present initiative of the Centre.
But as I said at the beginning of my speech, the
effort cannot stop at a few plenary meetings of this
nature, however much they are also necessary. I
would recommend that a smaller representative
group of Chief Ministers, State Health Ministers,
Health Secretaries and experts should meet
periodically and report to this apex body about the
progress in our population stabilisation efforts.

And finally, I must point out that the small
and happy family must include the man of the
house and he must be urged to be a part of the
population programme. Men seem to be indifferent
to most population stabilisation measures and
leave family welfare efforts to women. This must
change. The man must be made an integral part of
our programme and a major media initiative is

8

required in this direction. As a symbolic but
significant gesture, the father must find a place in
the logo of the national RCH programme, along
with the happy mother and child.
I thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for giving me
this opportunity to intervene.

NATIONAL POPULATION COMMISSION
FIRST MEETING
NEW DELHI

22.07.2000

Address of

DR. KALAIGNAR M. KARUNANIDHI

Hon’ble Chief Minister
of
Tamil Nadu

Delivered by

Thiru Arcot N.VEERASWAMI
Hon’ble Minister for Health and Electricity
Government of Tamil Nadu

ADDRESS BY Dr. KALAIGNAR M. KARUNANIDHI,
HCN’BLE CHIEF MINISTER OF TAMILNADU
AT THE FIRST NATIONAL POPULATION
COMMISSION MEETING.
Hon’ble Prime Minister Thiru Atal Behari Vajpayee,
Hon'ble

Union Minister of

Health and Family Welfare

£)r. C.P. Thakur,
Hon'ble Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare

Tmt. Rita Verma,

Hon’ble Chief Ministers of States and Union Territories,
Hon’ble Ministers of Health and Family Welfare from States

and Union Territories,
Secretaries to Government of India,

State Secretaries of Health and Family Welfare and other

officials,
1.

Let me first congratulate the Hon'ble Prime Minister and
the Government of India for constituting the National

Population Commission. At the outset, I would like to
appreciate the effort of Government of India in framing the

National Population Policy 2000 which not only spells out
goals but has

also

identified strategic themes and

operational strategies. I would also like to thank the Hon’ble
Prime Minister for providing an opportunity to the States
and Union Territories to share their experiences and

express their views on issues relating to population
stabilisation. I am sure that the deliberations of this council

will help the States and Union Territories and

thereby the

country in achieving the national population policy goals.

2.

I would like to use this opportunity to share with this

august body the success story of Tamilnadu’s Family
Welfare programme. Realising that family planning is now


a critical input for development, our Government has been
taking keen interest in population stabilisation measures.

Major initiatives have therefore been launched in this
direction by the State. This has resulted in improving the

quality of care, bridging the gaps in the health care

delivery system, thereby meeting to a large extent, the

unmet needs of the rural and urban population.

It has

also brought Tamiinadu to the forefront of the family welfare

programme.

Recently,

a

State

Level

Population

Commission has been constituted under my chairmanship.

Our impressive record of achievements is as follows:

eCrude Birth Rate (CBR):National Goal:21

India’s achievement : 26.5

Tamilnadu’s achievement : 19.2

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)
National Goal: 60

India’s achievement : 72

Tamilnadu’s achievement : 53
: 2 :

Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
National Goal: 2.1

India’s achievement : 3.3

Tamilnadu’s achievement : 2
With 100 percent immunisation coverage, more than 84 percent

institutional deliveries and 100 percent antenatal registration,
Tamilnadu has emerged as a model state for family welfare and
health care.

3.

Tamilnadu’s progress in the family welfare is the outcome
of several factors including the general development of the

economy. However, one of the most important factors has
been the high level of political commitment for the
programme and strong political will to implement it.

Long

before government of India introduced the Family Planning
Programme in the country the great social reformer Periyar

Ramasamy created a strong social movement in the
&

state to increase the age of marriage for women and
acceptance of the small family norm. This movement has

been carried forward by Arignar Anna and now by the
present Government. This tradition has continued along
with the formal family planning programmes launched

nationally. Almost all social and political leaders and even

prominent administrators talk forcefully about family planning
and the small family norm at any opportunity they get to interact
: 3 :

with the people both in public meetings and social functions.
This, along with specific IEC programmes has resulted in

creating a 99 percent awareness of the small family norm

in Tamilnadu.

In order to provide health care facilities to the people of

the state, Tamilnadu has systematically created health

infrastructure as per Govt, of India norms in respect of
Health subcentres, Primary health centres, Government

hospitals etc. As a result, we have at present 8682 Health
subcentres,

1410 Primary health centres,

160 Taluk

hospitals, 67 non-taluk hospitals, 26 district hospitals and

After the present

11 teaching medical institutions.

Government came to power in 1996, it was decided to
improve the infrastructure facilities by providing own

buildings for all the Primary Health Centres. Hence, 652
Primary Health Centres were built at a cost of Rs.51

crores purely from the state funds. On date, 94 percent of

PHCs are functioning in their own buildings, the balance is
under various stages of construction. Similarly 64 percent

of the Health Subcentres are functioning in their own
buildings.

600 are being constructed.

through community participation.

400 of these are

This is

a

unique

experiment, which Tamilnadu is carrying out. To ensure 24

maintenance, provision of equipment etc. So far 69 PHCs,
5 HSCs, 24 Government hospitals have been adopted by

51 industrial houses and their contribution is about Rs. 1.5

crores.
7.

|

The State has also drawn up a standard equipment list for

PHCs and HSCs. Equipments are now provided and
supplied as per this list. All First Referral Units have now

been equipped with ultra sonograms apart from other
emergency and essential obstetric and newborn care

equipments.
8.

Realising that infrastructure cannot be optimally utilised
without adequate training of manpower, the physical and

academic infrastructure of training institutions in the state

have been strengthened. The curricula have been revamped
to focus on development of skills, management, and gender
motivation and community mobilisation to improve the
quality of care given by the providers.

9.

Apart from training and sensitisation of all health providers
in the State including the state level functionaries like
Director of Health and Family Welfare Departments, training

is now given to all Medical Officers on their induction in
the PHCs. The training includes familiarisation with the

ongoing Family Welfare Schemes in the State, reorientation
: 6 :

of technical, management as well as administrative skills.

Here, I would like to mention, about a unique mobility

training, the state gives to its grass root level functionaries
the Village Health Nurses(VHN), Sector Health Nurses(SHN)
and Community Health Nurses(CHN). These female field

health functionaries are the backbone of the health care
delivery system, and their mobility is critical to better

delivery of outreach activities. Sensitive to the ground
reality that mere provision of funds and sanction of moped

loans were not sufficient to make them mobile, 3 day
residential camps are being organised for imparting
training in moped riding.

The response for this was

overwhelming and there is a distinct improvement in the
field level management of health services.

In order to effectively manage the health care delivery
system, constant monitoring of inputs and outputs is

required. For doing this, state has been conducting, since
1996 a vital events survey involving a huge sample of 9

million persons.

More comprehensive than the sample

registration system-this generated estimates of vital data

gender wise, district wise and place of residence wise.

It

also sensitised the entire health system personnel to issues
of Public Health in general and Maternal and Child Health

in particular.

11.

To monitor the performance of Primary Health Centres, a
format compatible for reading and feeding into the
computer by using an Optical Mark Reader (OMR) has

been developed.

Thus concurrent monitoring of the

institutional activities of all PHCs like outpatient, inpatient,
number of deliveries conducted is being done regularly.

I

As a result of this close monitoring the utilisation of the
institutional services is steadily increasing.

I2.

In order to bring down the IMR and MMR a critically
important monitoring tool has been adopted by the state
called the maternal death audit and infant death audit.
A Medical Audit team has been formed for each revenue

district with the District Health Administrator, Obstetrician
and Chief Medical Officer of the First Referral Units as

members.

A Maternal death protocol has also been

developed for prompt reporting and investigation of maternal

deaths. The objective of these is to determine the medical
and non-medical causes of each maternal death.

The

team gives the report after detailed investigation which
includes the viewpoints of the relatives as well as the
service providers of the deceased within 15 days of the

occurrence of death.

The aim of this verbal autopsy is

fact finding and sensitising service providers to take

corrective action on systemic failures.
: 8 :

13.

Our Government has introduced recently a new scheme of
comprehensive free health checkups and treatment camps
in rural areas called “Varumun Kappom”. This scheme

is the first of its kind in the country. During the camps

more than 15 specialist doctors from the government
hospitals screen the rural

people with sophisticated

equipments like ECG and Ultra sonogram etc. treat them
and if required refer them to higher medical institutions for

special treatment for which transport services are also

provided by the government. Health awareness, health
promotion and knowledge of avoidance of ill health are
also to be imparted in these camps. So far more than

4334 camps have been held in the villages. The average
attendance per camp is around 916.

By December, 10

million people i.e. one sixth of the population of the state
will be covered by these early detection camps.

These

camps have generated a massive data on morbidity

patterns

making

it

easy to

draw

up

area

wise

epidemiological profiles for the whole state. This will also

act as a major input in planning and designing preventive
and curative health care.

This is a unique programme

aimed at providing services at the doorstep and improving

the quality of life for the rural poor.

: 9 •

14.

Similarly the School

health

programme

“Vazhvoli

Thittam” has been intensified during 1999. School children
from first to twelfth standard are screened, treated and if

required referred to a higher medical institution by a team
of medical and para medical staff of the PHC based on a
fixed plan of visits for schools.

72 lakh school children

have been screened during 1999-2000.
15.

In order to give a new thrust to the Family Welfare

Programme,

“State Population Policy 2000” is under

preparation. A special drive to shift the exclusive burden
of the programme from that of women and bring about

active male participation through intensive IEC activities is

under way. We are also taking initiatives for ensuring that
the future generation is healthy and strong, by launching

an iron supplementation programme and rubella vaccination

programme for our future mothers - i.e. adolescent girls.
16.

With all these initiatives the state is steadily marching

forward.

The natural growth rate of the state has

fallen below that of Kerala and now stands at 10.7
compared to 11.9 of Kerala.

We

have also achieved

India will require another 5

years to achieve this if the current tempo is maintained.

Our vision is to bring about the stabilisation of the
: 10 :

population of Tamilnadu at 7.2 crores by 2010 and
we are sure we will achieve it.
18.

However, we have an apprehension in our mind which the
Hon’ble Prime Minister and the government of India have to

dispel.

Tamil Nadu has 39 Members in the Lok Sabha. At

the moment, we have an assurance from the Hon'ble Prime

Minister and the Government of India that consequent on

'

reduction in population, our representation in the Lok Sabha
will not get reduced.

I am sure the Hon’ble Prime Minister

and the Government of India will take immediate and

appropriate measures by way of suitable amendment to the

Constitution to ensure that Tamil Nadu and other States
which have implemented Family Welfare Programmes

enthusiastically and successfully to contain and stabilise the
population are not penalised by a reduction in the number of

their representatives in the Lok Sabha.

In view of the fast

approaching deadline of the year 2001, it has become
imperative that the issue is addressed at the earliest and the
freeze on the existing number of Lok Sabha seats allocated

to the State extended till 2025 A.D. as recommended in the

'National Population Policy, 2000’.

I am sure we will have the very valuable support and
mcouragement of the Hon’ble Prime Minister and Government of

ndia in realising our population stabilisation goals.

Thank you, Vanakkam.

The National
Population Policy
2000

-s

V ational Population Policy

2000 aims at improving the quality of

life that people lead, to enhance their

wellbeing and to provide them with

opportunities and choices to become

productive assets in society. Though
India was the first country to launch

a national programme in 1952 aiming
at stabilising the population at a level

consistent with the requirement of
national economy,

sharp decline in

death rate were not accompanied by

a similar drop in birth rate.

This document is brought to you by the ■
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
Government of India and
Voluntary Health Association of India (VH Al)

.

However the country has seen some demographic achievements through the
National Family Welfare Programme and they are related to the reduction of:

vvervicw

Crude Birth Rate (CBR)

from 40.8 in 1951 to 26.4 in 1998

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)

from 146/1000 live in 1951 to 72/1000 live births in 1998

Crude Death Rate (CDR)

from 25 in 1951 to 9.0 in 1998

Life Expectancy at Birth

increased from 37 to 62 years

Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

from 6.0 in 1951 to 3.3 in 1997

Despite these Government initiatives and achievements, population growth
in India today continues to be high. On I I May, 2000 India’s projected
population crossed I billion mark (100 crore), i.e. 16 percent of the world’s
population living on 2.4 percent of the globes land area. If current trends
continue, India may overtake China in 2045, to become the most populous
country in the world. While global population has increased threefold during
this century, from 2 billion to 6 billion, the population of India has increased
nearly five times from 238 million (23 crores) to I billion in the same period.
India’s current annual increase in population of 15.5 million is large enough
to neutralize efforts to conserve the resource endowment and environment.

If the trend continues, Population of India will be I0I2.4 million in 2001,
1178.9 million in 201 I and 1268.5 in 2016. Thus stabilizing population is an
essential requirement for promoting sustainable development with more
equitable distribution. However, this is as much a function of making
reproductive health care accessible and affordable to all, as of increasing the
provision and outreach of primary and secondary education. This would also
include, extending basic amenities including sanitation, safe drinking water and
housing, besides empowering women and enhancing their employment
opportunities, and providing transport and communication.

The National Population Policy 2000 (NPP 2000) declares the commitment
of Government towards providing voluntary and informed choices and seeking
jjjgglpErent of citizens. It also popularises the use of reproductive health care
Wices and the continuation of a target free approach in administering family
anning (FP) services. It addresses the fact that apart from making
productive health care services accessible and affordable to all, it is also
iperative to increase the outreach of education, basic amenities like
nitation, safe water and housing. Empowering women through awareness
d enhancing their employment opportunities is also essential.

e

Objectives of National Population Policy 2000

The Immediate Objective of the NPP 2000 is to address the
unmet needs for contraception, health care infrastructure and
health personnel and to provide integrated service delivery of basic
reproductive and child health (RCH) care to all sections of the
population. It is based on a strategy of developing partnerships
within government departments and with industries and the
voluntary sector.
Its Mid-term Objective is to bring the Total Fertility Rate down
to replacement levels by 2010 through vigorous implementation of
inter-sectoral operational strategies.

Its Long term Objective is to achieve a stable population by
the year 2045 at a level that is consistent with the socio-economic
and ecological requirements at that time.
The NPP 2000 envisages to address these issues by aiming to attain its mid
term objective by increasing access to quality health and reproductive services,
making school education upto 14 years free and compulsory. Reducing the
IMR and Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR), achieving universal immunisation for
all children, promoting delayed marriages for girls, achieving I OQ% registration
of births, deaths, marriage and pregnancy, developing infrastructure to promote
safe deliveries, setting up counselling and FP service centres, containing the
spread of HIV/AIDS, RTFs and STD’s, preventing and controlling communicable
diseases, integrating Indian Systems of Medicine’s v/ith reproductive and child
health services; promoting vigorously the smaj|<zfamily norm .and developing
the family welfare programme as a people c

[■Decentralised Planning and Programme Implementation
The Panchayati Raj Institution (PRIs) are an important means of realising the
socio-demographic goals of the NPP 2000. With the 73rd and 74th amendment,
greater authority in matters of health, family welfare and education has been
placed onto the panchayat; however further delegation of administrative and
financial powers is necessary to facilitate the effective functioning of PRI s. It
is envisaged that these empowered PRI’s will identify area specific needs and
prepare need based socio-demographic plans for the village aiming at
developing a people centred reproductive and child health programme (RCH
programme). Those panchayats that succeed in doing so will be nationally
honoured. Also elected women panchayat members are expected to play a
pivotal role in developing a gender sensitive, multi-sectoral local agenda for
population stabilisation.

□Convergence of Service Delivery at the Village Levels

I

Efforts at population stabilisation will be effective only if we direct an effective
package of essential health services at the village and household levels.
Currently there are many inadequacies in health infrastructure below the
district level; lack of supervision, trained personnel, communication skills and
motivation to work in rural areas has lead to obvious gaps in the coverage
and effectiveness of RCH services.There is a need for a flexible intersectoral
approach that would build partnerships with the voluntary and non­
governmental sector in extending RCH services to all the areas of the country
including hilly, inaccessible and forested areas.

In this aspect since health and education has been decentralised to the
panchayats, a one stop integrated service delivery system needs to be
developed at the village level for providing basic RCH services. For this it
is necessary to set up equipped maternity huts, register births, deaths,
marriage and pregnancies and developing a task force of TBA’s, community
mid wifes, village health guides, teachers and aganwadi workers who will
work towards increasing the coverage, outreach and effectiveness of the
RCH initiative.

□Empowering Women for Improved Health and Nutrition
Due to the discriminatory behaviour women are subjected to in India, most
of them suffer from under nutrition and micro nutrient deficiency that

becomes crucial to a woman’s wellbeing and that of her child during pregnancy.
The extent of maternal mortality is an indicator of disparity and inequity and
it is safe to say that a women’s health is always at risk in India; from childhood
neglect, lack of education, poor nutrition early child bearing due to early
marriages, frequent and unsafe pregnancies, unsafe abortions, RTI’s and STD’s

- all these combine to keep the MMR in India among the highest in the world.

The NPP 2000 addresses this by calling for an intersectoral holistic approach
where in the non-governmental and private corporate sector collaborate with
the government in committing to provide RCH services, education and
employment opportunities to women. In addition the NPP 2000 has also
called for strengthening the safe motherhood, immunization, child survival,
women’s nutrition, RTI and STD control initiatives by further integrating them
into the RCH programme.

□Child Health and Survival
Infant mortality, Under 5 mortality and neo-natal mortality are some of the
primary causes for high fertility rates in India. Inadequate child care, asphyxia,
premature birth, low birth weight, respiratory infections, lack of immunization,
nutritional deficiencies have all hindered child survival in India for a long time

now. Government child survival interventions have made a small difference
but due to a decline in standards, outreach and quality of services, significant
improvements have not been made.

The NPP 2000 prioritises the need to intensify neo-natal care as primary by
calling for the setting up of a National Technical Committee which would set
perinatal audit norms, strategise on quality development and monitoring and
suggest that medical and nursing education be provided to all perinatal health
providers. NPP 2000 also calls for extending the ‘baby friendly hospital
initiatives’ to all hospitals and clinics at the district level which would also
include upgrading the skills of TBA’s in order to improve new born care
practices.

□ Meeting the Unmet Needs for Family Welfare Services
The NPP 2000 indicates that there is still .a paucity of contraceptives,
equipment, man power and comprehensive FP information and informed health
providers in both rural and urban areas. It is essential to strengthen these
initiatives in all areas and also a need to improve the system of referral
transportation and develop innovative social marketing schemes for affordable
products and services.

0 Under Served Population Groups
Currently slums account for high maternal and child mortality due to a
lack of proper health services and facilities. There is an urgent need to
provide basic and primary health care and RCH services in slums and to
strengthen water and sanitation facilities in these areas. In addition health
promotion and education facilities also need to be strengthened.



It is a realised fact that populations in remote and hilly areas do not even
have access to basic health care which attributes to the high level of
mortality in these areas. NPP 2000 maintains that these communities need
special attention in terms of health, awareness and RCH services in order
to address IMR, MMR and high fertility rates in these neglected areas.

overview



Due to the rise in cases of unsafe abortions, STD’s, HIV/AIDS, adolescents
constitute a group whose needs must be addressed. Approachable RCH
services providing education, counselling, FP information can go a long way
in addressing their unmet needs.There is also a need to enforce the child
marriage restraint act of 1976 more stringently.



Menfolk need to constitute an integral part in any population control
programme. We can not deny that men play a critical role in family welfare
in India. Their active involvement is called for in planning families,
supporting contraceptive use, helping pregnant women, helping in arranging
safe deliveries and in child care. There is an urgent need to re-popularise
vasectomies and focus on men in information and education campaigns
to promote the small family norm.

□ Diverse Health Care Providers
The health infrastructure run by the government is rendered inadequate in
light of the magnitude of demands made by the population. The RCH needs
of the population are also unmet due to this paucity.There is a need to involve
private doctors in providing these services and a need to revive the system
of licensed medical practitioners in collaboration with the Indian Medical
Association.

EJ Collaboration with and Commitments from Non-government
S Organisations and the Private Sector
Understanding the magnitude of demands placed on the governments health
services, it is apparent that a sustainable and efficient RCH effort will only
be possible if partnerships are built with the non-government and private
sector. Though these sectors have an impressive pool of expertise and
resources, mobilizing them is no easy task as motivating them to address public
health goals raises various issues of governance that need to be carefully
addressed.

H Mainstreaming Indian Systems of Medicine
and Homeopathy (ISMH)
The traditional systems of medicine which are affordable, accessible and
effective and have addressed the health needs of a large portion of the
population for ages needs to be revived. Their utilisation in basic RCH care
will expand the pool of effective health providers, optimise utilisation of local
remedies and promote low cost health care. There is a need to orient and
train ISM medical practitioners in aspects of woman and child health and utilise
their services at sub-centres and PHC centres. Guidelines also need to be
evolved to regulate and ensure standardisation, efficacy and safety of ISM drugs.

I

[0 Contraceptive Technology and Research on Reproductive and
I Child Health
The government must constantly advance, encourage and support medical,
social science, demographic and behavioural science research on maternal, child
and reproductive health care issues. There is a need for consultations and
frequent dialogue by government with existing research institutions in all
sectors. The strengthening of the management information system (MIS) for
ascertaining the impact and outcomes of government programmes through
district surveys and facility surveys by the department of family welfare has
been a positive step in this light.

HJ Providing for the Older Population
Improved life expectancy has lead to an increase in the number of older people
in the population. When this is viewed in the context of significant weaknesses
in health systems, one finds that the elderly are increasingly vulnerable and
need protection. It is necessary to build in geriatric health concerns within
the population policy by sensitising, training and equipping rural and urban
health centres to provide geriatric health care. The voluntary sector can be
involved in implementing schemes that make the elderly economically self
reliant and a system of tax incentives to encourage grown ups to care for
their parents can be developed.

jH Information, Education and Communication
There is a need for large scale dissemination of IEC messages to all parts of
the country. Locally relevant, clear and focussed RCH/IEC material will go a
long way in popularising and sensitizing RCH issues within communities.
Government departments, NGO’s and the panchayats need to be deeply
involved in this endeavour and proper use of mass media tools like radio and
television needs to be made.

Promotional and Motivational Measures for
Adoption of the Small Family Norm
Certain promotional and motivational measures for adoption of small family
norm have been suggested. Under this for exemplary performance in
universalising the small family norm, acheiving reduction in IMR, TBR, and
promoting literacy, Panchayats and Zila Parishads will be rewarded. Cash
incentive of Rs. 500 will be awarded at the birth of the girl child and to
mothers who have their first child after nineteen years of age. For couples
having 2 children and undergo sterilisation would become eligible for health
insurance upto Rs.5000. Couples who have their first child after the mother
reaches 21 will be rewarded. Creches will be opened, and facilities for safe
abortion will be expanded. There would be provision for wider choice of
contraceptives, and soft loans will be encouraged to those who run ambulance
services and ensure mobility of ANMs.

;

Conclusion

The NPP 2000 which will largely be implemented and managed at the
panchayat and nagarpalika level in coordination with state administrators has
highlighted clearly the need to understand and look at population stabilization
as a multidimensional concept and thus realize that it can only be achieved
when government departments collaborate with each other and with the
private and voluntary sector in holistically looking at population issues.
The NPP 2000 has called for the setting up of State and National Commissions
on Population which will be presided by the Prime Minister, include Chief
Ministers, members from concerned ministries and members of the civil
society who will oversee and review the implementation of the NPP 2000 in
States and Union Territories.The Planning Commission will have a coordination
cell to facilitate inter-sectoral collaboration between ministries in order to
enhance the performance of States particularly those which have adverse
demographic and human development indicators.
In aspects of funding, priority will be given to developing health care
infrastructure at the community, primary health care, sub-centre and the village
level. Critical gaps in manpower will be remedied through re-deployment and
referral links will be improved. It is foreseen that in order to implement
immediately this action plan , it would be necessary to increase the annual
budget of the Department of Family Welfare.
As the NPP 2000 has rightfully indicated, population stabilization while being
an intersectoral approach needs to be pursued as a national movement based
on the essence of participation and sustainability. Greater financial resources
need to be allocated in this regard if we are to assure the success of this
policy. Finally it is important to realize that if the full potential of the NPP
2000 is realized then the cherished dream of providing health for all may
become a reality and the vast number of people in India will be able to live
healthier, better and economically productive lives.
