&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI:&lt;/em&gt;To achieve the country&#039;s population control target faster, the government has decided to accelerate family planning measures by identifying 146 districts where the total fertility rate (TFR, the number of children born per woman) is more than three and which add up to 28% of the population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The health ministry is set to roll out &amp;quot;Mission Parivar Vikas&amp;quot; in these districts to improve access to family planning services, create awareness and make family planning choices available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;high-focus&amp;quot; districts are in the seven states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Assam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TFR has a direct correlation with the maternal mortality rate and infant mortality rate, the Centre has said. Though India&#039;s population growth rate has declined, the pace is uneven across states, leading to the policy intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These 146 districts are an obstacle in population stabilisation (sic),&amp;quot; Union health minister J P Nadda said. High fertlity rates are also related to adverse indicators and these districts account for 25-30% of maternal deaths and 50% of infant deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;India&#039;s fertility rate declines to 2.3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to government data, India&#039;s total fertility rate has declined from 2.6 in 2008 to 2.3 at present. India is now just 0.2 points away from reaching the replacement level of 2.1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, 24 states have already achieved replacement level fertility. Nearly 60% of the population resides in states where either replacement fertility has been reached or will soon be met.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These include the southern states, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from population stabilisation, the programme also aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The greater the TFR, the more will be the MMR and IMR. Hence, reducing TFR would lead to decrease in maternal mortality and morbidity and infant mortality and morbidity,&amp;quot; Nadda said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI:&lt;/em&gt;To achieve the country&#039;s population control target faster, the government has decided to accelerate family planning measures by identifying 146 districts where the total fertility rate (TFR, the number of children born per woman) is more than three and which add up to 28% of the population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The health ministry is set to roll out &amp;quot;Mission Parivar Vikas&amp;quot; in these districts to improve access to family planning services, create awareness and make family planning choices available.&lt;br /&gt;

TFR has a direct correlation with the maternal mortality rate and infant mortality rate, the Centre has said. Though India&#039;s population growth rate has declined, the pace is uneven across states, leading to the policy intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These 146 districts are an obstacle in population stabilisation (sic),&amp;quot; Union health minister J P Nadda said. High fertlity rates are also related to adverse indicators and these districts account for 25-30% of maternal deaths and 50% of infant deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;India&#039;s fertility rate declines to 2.3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to government data, India&#039;s total fertility rate has declined from 2.6 in 2008 to 2.3 at present. India is now just 0.2 points away from reaching the replacement level of 2.1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, 24 states have already achieved replacement level fertility. Nearly 60% of the population resides in states where either replacement fertility has been reached or will soon be met.&lt;br /&gt;

Nearly 60% of the population resides in states where either replacement fertility has been reached or will soon be met.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These include the southern states, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from population stabilisation, the programme also aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The greater the TFR, the more will be the MMR and IMR.

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI:&lt;/em&gt;To achieve the country&#039;s population control target faster, the government has decided to accelerate family planning measures by identifying 146 districts where the total fertility rate (TFR, the number of children born per woman) is more than three and which add up to 28% of the population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The health ministry is set to roll out &amp;quot;Mission Parivar Vikas&amp;quot; in these districts to improve access to family planning services, create awareness and make family planning choices available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;high-focus&amp;quot; districts are in the seven states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Assam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TFR has a direct correlation with the maternal mortality rate and infant mortality rate, the Centre has said. Though India&#039;s population growth rate has declined, the pace is uneven across states, leading to the policy intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These 146 districts are an obstacle in population stabilisation (sic),&amp;quot; Union health minister J P Nadda said. High fertlity rates are also related to adverse indicators and these districts account for 25-30% of maternal deaths and 50% of infant deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;India&#039;s fertility rate declines to 2.3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to government data, India&#039;s total fertility rate has declined from 2.6 in 2008 to 2.3 at present. India is now just 0.2 points away from reaching the replacement level of 2.1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, 24 states have already achieved replacement level fertility. Nearly 60% of the population resides in states where either replacement fertility has been reached or will soon be met.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI:&lt;/em&gt;To achieve the country&#039;s population control target faster, the government has decided to accelerate family planning measures by identifying 146 districts where the total fertility rate (TFR, the number of children born per woman) is more than three and which add up to 28% of the population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The health ministry is set to roll out &amp;quot;Mission Parivar Vikas&amp;quot; in these districts to improve access to family planning services, create awareness and make family planning choices available.&lt;br /&gt;

&quot;These 146 districts are an obstacle in population stabilisation (sic),&quot; Union health minister J P Nadda said. High fertlity rates are also related to adverse indicators and these districts account for 25-30% of maternal deaths and 50% of infant deaths.<br />
<br />
<em>India's fertility rate declines to 2.3<br />
</em><br />
According to government data, India's total fertility rate has declined from 2.6 in 2008 to 2.3 at present. India is now just 0.2 points away from reaching the replacement level of 2.1.<br />
<br />
So far, 24 states have already achieved replacement level fertility. Nearly 60% of the population resides in states where either replacement fertility has been reached or will soon be met.<br />
<br />
These include the southern states, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Punjab.<br />
<br />
Apart from population stabilisation, the programme also aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality.<br />
<br />
&quot;The greater the TFR, the more will be the MMR and IMR. Hence, reducing TFR would lead to decrease in maternal mortality and morbidity and infant mortality and morbidity,&quot; Nadda said.<br />

Government targets 146 districts to accelerate India's population control drive -Sushmi Dey

-The Times of India NEW DELHI:To achieve the country's population control target faster, the government has decided to accelerate family planning measures by identifying 146 districts where the total fertility rate (TFR, the number of children born per woman) is more than three and which add up to 28% of the population. The health ministry is set to roll out "Mission Parivar Vikas" in these districts to improve access to family planning services, create awareness and make family planning choices available. The "high-focus" districts are in the seven states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Assam. TFR has a direct correlation with the maternal mortality rate and infant mortality rate, the Centre has said. Though India's population growth rate has declined, the pace is uneven across states, leading to the policy intervention. "These 146 districts are an obstacle in population stabilisation (sic)," Union health minister J P Nadda said. High fertlity rates are also related to adverse indicators and these districts account for 25-30% of maternal deaths and 50% of infant deaths. India's fertility rate declines to 2.3 According to government data, India's total fertility rate has declined from 2.6 in 2008 to 2.3 at present. India is now just 0.2 points away from reaching the replacement level of 2.1. So far, 24 states have already achieved replacement level fertility. Nearly 60% of the population resides in states where either replacement fertility has been reached or will soon be met. These include the southern states, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Punjab. Apart from population stabilisation, the programme also aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality. "The greater the TFR, the more will be the MMR and IMR. Hence, reducing TFR would lead to decrease in maternal mortality and morbidity and infant mortality and morbidity," Nadda said.
