Summary, etc. MUCH of this essay was written as the Presidential Address of the first All-India Population and Family Planning Conference held in Bombay in 1951. As such, it is an examination of the Indian population problem and a plea for the consideration of family planning as a primary solution in any positive and democratic population policy for India. The question of family planning is, therefore, examined from many points of view, particularly from the social, economic and cultural aspects of an underdeveloped economy such as that of India. Since the conference, the subject has become the centre of lively<br/><br/>controversy in the Indian press where all the pros and cons are discussed with a welcome frankness, if not always with much under standing. The subject has been debated in the Indian Parliament and in at least four of the state legislatures. The battle for birth control was won in a sense even before it got under way when the Government of India and the Government Planning Commission recently came out officially in favour of family planning. What is more, the Government of India have set up a series of experimental pilot projects to test the effectiveness of the rhythm (or safe period) method of family planning, which is the least expensive and most readily acceptable of proved existing methods in Indian conditions. Thus, the Government of India have already taken a courageous and progressive step in the right direction. Even if these pilot projects fail in view of the inherent difficulties of the rhythm method, as well as the difficulties involved in measuring its reliability, much credit is due to the Government of India for having undertaken the task of exploring the scientific possibilities of this particular method on which millions of mothers place considerable reliance.<br/>This essay incorporates the final results of the 1951 census of India-the All-India Census Reports-which were published in 1954. by the Registrar General, and includes the latest available population and vital statistics.
