However, family planning remains a matter of concern. As per the survey, two-thirds of currently married women aged 15-49 had a demand for family planning. Eleven per cent wanted to space births and 55% wanted to limit births. If all currently married women who wanted to space or limit their children were to use a family planning method, the contraceptive prevalence rate would increase from 54% to 66%.

The survey found that 72% of women had heard or seen a family planning message in the past few months, of them 59% on television. Older women, women in rural areas and those with little or no schooling, Muslim and tribal women, and women in the two lowest wealth quintiles had less exposure to family planning messages.
