There is a interlink Between growth rate of population and family planning, the family planning started with slogan of “Two children for each family” but growth rate of population has not been controlled. The growth rate of population has been increasing at rate of 15.67 percent. The family planning programe started in December 1957 and continued vigorously after the formation of Karnataka state. Till 1977 the programe was implemented with full speed and under proper direction. Since there is an increasing pressure of populations growth on land in rural areas to urban areas, by 1991, India had more than 150,000 public health facilities through which family planning programs were offered (see Health Care, this ch). The annual population growth rate in the previous decade (1941 to 1951) had been below 1.3 percent, and government planners optimistically believed that the population would continue to grow at roughly the same rate. The objective of this is to examine the growth rate of population and impact of family planning on control of population. This paper is based on secondary data, secondary data was a collected from published and unpublished sources, census, Report and Journals. According to provisional figures of 2011 census population has been increasing, this is interesting note that family planning programme is not working properly in this concern developed country has taken strong decision but in India it is not taken due to awareness, poverty, population is increasing. Family planning programme implemented successfully in urban areas but not rural areas.
