Utilization of RCH services and their linkages with basic demographic parameters and socioeconomic developmental factors have often been argued and highlighted in the theoretical and empirical literature. The NPP-2000 also affirms the provision of quality RCH services and an informed choice of contraception alongwith women empowerment characterized by improvements in women's educational standards, working conditions and autonomy. These improvements are expected to bring about changes in their quality of life, standards of living and to facilitate a faster control and an early stabilization of the population. Nevertheless, for proper implementation and monitoring of the population policy document's intents we need district level indicators on socioeconomic, demographic and RCH.
