Abstract: The major challenges are family planning and birth control. According to a recent UN report, India’s population has already topped 1.26 billion this year, and if current growth rates continue, the country’s population will surpass that of China by 2028. The national fertility rate remains high, leading to long-term population growth in India. Family planning was not confined to birth control or contraception. It is important to improve the family’s economic condition and the health of the mother and her children. First, family planning highlights the importance of spacing births at least two years apart from one another. According to medical science, giving birth within a gap of more than five years or less than two years has a serious effect on the health of both the mother and child. Giving birth involves costs, and with an increase in the number of children in a family, more medical costs of pregnancy and birth are involved, along with the high costs of raising and rearing children. It is the duty of parents to provide food, clothing, shelter, and education to their children. If adopted, family planning has an effective impact on stabilizing the financial condition of any family, especially women in rural areas.
