According to Census 2011, the Indian population was 1,21,01,93,422. India's population growth rate has declined by 17.64% in the last 10 years. 2 The health, political, economic, and social development of the nation suffers a major threat because of an uncontrolled population growth. n the 1960s, the data obtained on conducting surveys of contraceptive knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) revealed that a major section of women avoided the use of contraceptives, in spite of their will to have a gap and prevent pregnancy, which lead to the evolution of the concept of unmet need. Later on, this disparity, the "KAP-gap" was termed as the unmet need for contraception. ckground: An estimated 17% of married women in the developing world have an unmet need for contraception.
