Female sterilisation as % of modern contrac
Female sterilisation accounts for 70%+ of modern contraception in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
Policy implication
When sterilisation dominates, women lose the option of spacing births. It is a one-time choice with no room for later decisions.

Data vintage. This map uses NFHS-5 (2019-21). NFHS-6 (2023-24) state fact sheets were released in May 2026, but they are provisional and report fewer indicators, so the figures here have not been replaced.
Data note. NFHS-6 reports female sterilisation only as a share of all currently married women, not as a share of modern methods as here, so the two cannot be compared and NFHS-5 (2019-21) remains the latest figure for this measure.
