To estimate the proportion of women who were using some kind of contraceptive as against the proportion who emerged to risk of conception the community study was undertaken on 764 women from periurban areas of South Delhi who had given birth to a child in 24 months prior to the date of survey. It was observed that contraceptive use tagged far behind the growing risk of conception and that this contraceptive gap widened as more time elapsed from the child birth.
