Govt to spread message of ‘small family’

Sunday, 04 July 2021 | PNS | Lucknow

Speeding up its efforts to create awareness on population control, the Yogi Adityanath government has decided to spread the message of ‘Do Bachche Hi Achhe’ at people’s doorstep.

Aiming to execute the plan, the state government will be organising a ‘Population Stability Fortnight’ on the occasion of World Population Day on July 11. The National Health Mission has completed all preparations for this special and mega campaign.

Moreover, the state government has also launched a ‘Couple Contact’ fortnight from June 27, which is scheduled to continue till July 10. In this campaign, ASHA workers will be identifying couples in their areas, who have two or more children, and will counsel them..

Meanwhile, a separate team will be contacting newlyweds to inform them about the government schemes and benefits of 'Hum Do Hamare Do' and they will also be educated about the facilities attached with family planning.

During Population Stability Fortnight, mobile vans will visit numerous villages to educate local residents about the perks and benefits of family planning. Directions in this regard have already been issued to all district magistrates on behalf of Mission Director of National Health Mission, Uttar Pradesh, Arpana Upadhyay.

During the campaign, people will also be informed about the benefits of keeping a gap of at least three years between two children. Public representatives will also be assigned to carry out these programmes in each district.

Speaking on the plan, Mission Director of National Health Mission, Aparna Upadhyay, said that in July, a massive awareness campaign would be conducted across the state for which all preparations had been completed.
