population control

A Mumbai-based couple chose a vasectomy after deciding not to have children, breaking societal norms. Their decision came after extensive discussions, research, and consultations with doctors.

Central government is currently observing ‘Vasectomy Fortnight’, a nationwide initiative which seeks to raise awareness.
