Current problems of family welfare programme administration and principles and techniques of management applicable to family welfare and reproductive health programme

Abstract

We have identified several key problems in the family welfare programme. Many of these problems are not peculiar to the health programme but are problems of general administration of the Government. Hence along with specific interventions suggested above to improve management, the government must also reform its administrative process and procedures within the whole public system. Changing from the current family welfare programme to an efficient reproductive health programme will be a great managerial challenge for the Indian health administrators for the next decade.
