According to National Family Health Survey 4 data, 35.7% of all family planning procedures in India are female sterilisations while only 0.3% account for male sterilisations.

New Delhi: The case of Chhattisgarh’s 101 female sterilisations that took place last week in Surguja district, in a matter of hours, has thrown light on the procedure itself.

Tubectomy, or female sterilisation, is the most complicated of all available contraceptive methods. Yet, it is the most commonly used family planning method in India, far ahead of condoms, intrauterine devices (IUDs), pills and male sterilisations.

According to data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 4 — the latest survey where data is available for all states — 35.7 per cent of all family planning methods practised in India is female sterilisation. Only a mere 0.3 per cent is male sterilisation.

Among states, Chhattisgarh accounts for a large proportion of the female sterilisations conducted in India, higher than the national average.
