FAMILY PLANNING
The only remedy to check the excessive growth of population
is family planning. The beginning towards the family planning in the district was made with the establishment of a small family planning centre at the Irwin Hospital, Amravati, in December, 1960. Besides the centre attached to the Irwin Hospital, there were seven family planning centres attached to seven primary health centres. Two voluntary organisations are also doing the work regarding family planning in the rural areas of the district. Vasectomy camps are organised in the district. In 1962, 423 operations were performed in these camps.
