World Contraception Day - 26th Sept 2022

World Contraception Day is marked on September 26 with a focus on creating awareness about contraceptive knowledge and family planning. It is a global campaign held annually to shed light on birth control methods by asserting the importance of reproductive health.

For a developing nation like India, which is also the second most populous country, World Contraception Day becomes an important event to highlight the need for population control. The day underlines the need for better family planning which can indirectly also help families to lift themselves out of poverty.
