Introduction: National Family Planning Programme was launched in 1952, and India was the first country to adopt such programme. Reduction of birth rate and population stabilization was the main aim of this programme, but with the current status, this aim seems to be a complete failure. This study will help to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of women of rural area of central India, towards family planning. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study. All participants were interviewed with the help of a predesigned questionnaire. Results: Total 400 cases were interviewed. Contraceptive users were more in 30-40 years range (64.61%) and least in group __ampersandsignlt; 20 years (41.17%). Illiterate females (18.75%) had the least contraceptive usage and graduated (69.76%) had maximum. 97.5% females were aware about contraceptive measures and media (43.07%) was major source. Only 56.25% participants showed a positive attitude towards family planning methods. 53.25% were contraceptive users. 41.31% opted tubal ligation, 21.59% oral contraceptive methods, and 14.08% male condoms. 46.75% were non-users of contraceptive methods. Reasons were eager to conceive (39.03%), husband__ampersandsignrsquo;s denial (18.71%). Among contraceptive users, 51.17% have no side effects whereas 45.07% had backache or generalised weakness, 36.61% had a vaginal infection, 28.64% had menstrual problems. Conclusion: The present study, clearly showed that having knowledge about family planning methods and practicing them in their routine life are two different things because practise is influenced by various socio-demographic factors. There is a need for a different approach toward the family planning programme..
