- India was the first country to implement a national family planning policy, yet many women, especially in the Lohpeeta mobile tribe, lack awareness of contraceptive methods and their benefits.
- The study aimed to evaluate the socio-demographic factors and the knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding contraception within this community, surveying 209 participants through face-to-face interviews.
- Results indicated that a significant majority of participants had limited knowledge and poor attitudes towards contraception, with 88.5% not employing any contraceptive method, highlighting the need for targeted education and awareness initiatives for such migrant populations.
