The Planned Family Scheme is being implemented from 1995-96 by the Planned
Family Trust , A & N Islands. The Trust is entrusted with the task of
maintaining the details of the registrations and records of the schemes.
The Scheme has the objectives of female literacy , delayed marraige , controlled
family , social security at old age and public awareness.
It is proposed to cover the population of both the Districs of Andaman & Nicobar

will be inducted into the scheme. Approximately 3000 girls will enter the
scheme every year as per the present population statistics. This figure is
based on the current population of 2.77 lakhs and current birth rate of 20.5
per thousand, given an even sex ratio.For the purpose of calculation, the
population figure has been rounded off to 3 lakhs.
