About the Book
The present volume contains an annotated classification of all important contributions to the study of demographic trends and situation in India, which had been published prior to 1970. The annotations are purposive and they indicate the substantive nature of the contribution particularly for its relevance to policy formulation and programme implementation in the field of population intervention. While all important contributions for the period prior to Independence have been included, the emphasis has been on research conducted during the planning period beginning with 1951. As the policy thrust during this period has been on the control of population, a substantive part of the literature deals with fertility and family planning.
