The implementation of family planning programs became a major target during India’s Fourth Five-Year Plan (1969-1974). This plan focused on population control as a key element for sustainable development. It emphasized intensifying efforts to promote contraceptive use, improving healthcare facilities, and raising awareness about the benefits of smaller family sizes.

This marked a more structured approach to India’s family planning initiatives.
