Family welfare programs aim to support families by promoting small family sizes and birth control. Such programs are critical because population growth puts enormous strain on global resources and the environment. The key aspects of family welfare programs in India include educating the public about contraception options like sterilization procedures and temporary methods. Female sterilization through tubectomy is currently the most widely used contraceptive method in developing countries. While India's family welfare program has had some success, further efforts are still needed to control overpopulation.
