Economic status and overall progress of a nation depend on the quality of population and their lifestyle, education, financial condition, personal & professional success. India is a developing country with highly dense (1.3 billion) population with lots of setbacks. India with 2.5% of the world’s land surface area has to accommodate about 17% of the world population. Considering the magnitude of problem India as the pioneer in the whole world started National Family Planning Program 6 decades ago. Still, there is a big gap between target and achievement. In the year 2011, the couple protection rate was about 40% for India, which is still far behind to achieve the 60% couple protection rate goal. Since the inception of the program, several knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) studies have been conducted. This cross-sectional study was conducted in a semi-urban area of Hapur District in Uttar Pradesh. The study participants involved were 200 married women aged 15-45years. The Performa included details like socio-demographic features, questions related to knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) regarding contraceptive use. Though 91% women were aware of the existence of a contraceptive method, only 57% ever used one. The most commonly used contraceptive was condom (27%). The most common source of information on contraception was mass media, both printed and electronic. Reason for non-acceptance of family planning methods was fear of side effects, religious cause, and husband or family opposition. On the basis of observations of this study, it is concluded that education and contraceptive practices were directly related. Women empowerment through education, strengthening of health services & shift of couple counseling rather only women counseling will play a very important role in disseminating the information about the promotion of contraceptive practices and can overcome the knowledge/practice gap.
