New Delhi, Jun 4 (ANI): India needs to significantly increase its budget for the family planning sector if it doesn't want to miss the goal it pledged it will reach at FP2020, the global partnership for protection of reproductive rights of women and girls, suggests a new study. The study by the Population Foundation of India (PFI), a think tank on population and development issues, shows that if India wants to meet its FP2020 pledge of covering 48 million new users by that year, it would need to spend about INR 15800 crores, if not more, during 2013-2020. The states that need a greater focus and commitment are the 8 Empowered Action Group states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal as well as Assam and Himachal Pradesh.
