In this paper, an attempt was made to investigate the impact of some demographic variables and family planning programme on fertility change. Indirect statistical tools were used for this purpose. The standardisation method was used to play with demographic variables namely, age structure, marital status distribution, age specific marital fertility rate and proportion of women of reproductive ages in the total population and trend analysis was used to play with family planning programme. It was noted that proportion of women of reproductive ages in total population played tremendous role regarding change in crude birth rate. However, there was no significant impact of family planning programme on fertility change.
