In 1951, India started a family


planning program, becoming the first
among developing countries to do so.
The Planning Commission, formed in
1950, was responsible for designing
this program. In 1952, a population
strategy committee was created,
recommending the establishment of a
family planning research and
programs committee. However, the
initial approaches in 1951-52 were
not very successful as they were
temporary and mainly focused on
self-control.
