Extract

A study has been made of the effect of a vigorous family planning campaign on one particular aspect of family limitation, namely female sterilization. The increase in numbers seeking operation suggests that, over the country as a whole, the method is not being employed as often as it could be, though it is emphasized that operation, as well as other methods of contraception, are not likely to make impact on the population problem unless there is a defined national policy.
