Under the family welfare program, a married couple can do family planning according to their choice and without any compulsion.

The High Court had rejected some more demands, including the ideal of two children, to control the country's growing population. The ministry said that public health is a state subject and state governments should lead the process of health sector reforms to protect the common people from health hazards.
