Vasectomy Rate Among Married Men

Choropleth map of India by state: Vasectomy Rate Among Married Men. Vasectomy rates are below 1% nationally — India's family planning programme never invested in male methods.

Policy implication
The near-zero vasectomy rate is a policy failure, not a biological inevitability — it reflects gendered programme design.

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 male sterilisation only within the contraceptive method mix of currently married women, which is not this map's measure, so NFHS-5 (2019-21) remains the latest state-level figure for it.
