UP's Population Control: What's special in the new policy?

The proposed policy will aim at efforts to increase accessibility of contraceptive measures issued under the Family Planning Programme and provide a proper system for safe abortion.

"On the other hand, efforts will be made to stabilize population by providing solutions for impotence and infertility, and reducing infant and maternal mortality rate through improved health facilities," official said.

Another segment of the policy will focus on comprehensive arrangements for the care of elderly while focus will also be on improved management of education, health, and nutrition for adolescents between 11 and 19 years.
