Positive features of policy: “commitment of the government towards voluntary and
informed choices and consent of citizens while availing of
reproductive health care services, and continuation of the
target free approach in administrating family planning
services”.
Weakness of the policy:Population is not integrated with the health: it has
population stabilisation rather than health and well being
of the population as a goal.
Link the provision of continued facilities to urban slums
dwellers with their observance of the small family norms.
