Population control and family planning measures have been part of the public discourse for many decades now. However, over the last three decades the negative ramifications of authoritarian interventionist population policies borne by weaker sections of society, especially women, have been highlighted. Various studies have shown how women have been disproportionately subjected to coercive population control measures, leading to massive human rights violations. Surgical sterilisation, which has many side effects on the female body, remains one of the most commonly used contraceptive methods prevalent in the world today. The International Conference on Population and Development (1994, Cairo) had highlighted some of these critical issues relating to coercive population policies. The attendant 179 countries, of which India was also a part, vowed to adhere to measures that were gender sensitive and propagate holistic reproductive health services. Many other national and international forums such as the fourth World Conference on Women in 1995, stressed on the importance of respecting women’s autonomy in implementing population control policies. Taking cognisance of these developments, a new National Population Policy was implemented in India in 2000 under the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) government. The policy sought to improve the living conditions and social status of women while retaining surgical sterilisation as one of many possible contraceptive methods. The recent deaths of 13 women in Chattisgarh (India) during a mass sterilisation camp conducted by the state government highlights how incentivised tubectomy operation remains an endemic part of state population control measures. This paper attempts to understand the concerns of Neo-Malthusian approaches in population control and how it is pertinent to device government policies that are sensitive to reproductive rights and help promote gender equality and women empowerment. It seeks to demonstrate how state governments in India continue to adopt policies and practices that flout basic clinical standards and ignores the idea of ‘informed consent’, risking the lives of thousands of women. Finally, the paper calls for the dismissal of incentivised authoritarian intervention measures in family planning services and the introduction of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health policies.
