Overview
The Population Council has worked in India since the 1960s, when it established partnerships with several health and social science institutions. For almost 30 years, activities in India were managed from offices in New York and Bangkok. In 1994, the Council opened an office in New Delhi to carry out the Asia and Near East Operations Research Program. In 1995, the Regional Office for South and East Asia was established in New Delhi. Today, the New Delhi office oversees programs in Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam.
Program focus
Before the 1990s, the Council's focus in India was mainly on fertility, family planning, and contraceptive technologies. Following the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, the Council has worked with the government, nongovernmental organizations, the media, and other stakeholders to help translate the reproductive health agenda into policies and programs. Council staff have worked at the national, state, and local levels to help shape reproductive health policy, improve the quality of reproductive health services, and broaden knowledge about adolescents and the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
The current focus in India is designed to align with the Council’s strategic plan and respond to national needs. It aims to: (1) provide research-based evidence for the formulation of national policies and programs on HIV and AIDS; poverty, gender, and youth; and reproductive health, with particular attention to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals; and (2) strengthen national capacity in social science and operations research and, thereby, assist in advancing the careers of the next generation of Indian professionals.
