Newly Wed Couples To Get Condoms From Yogi Adityanaths Up Government
In today’s bizarre news section,
UP Government have promised to provide condoms to the newlyweds as ‘shagun’.
They will be a part of a well-structured kit including oral contraceptive pills,
brochures on family planning and how safe sex is important.
There will also be a letter for
the couple stating the health issues that can arise if safe sex is not
practiced. It will also explain how to plan children and what should be the
minimum time between two children – curbing population is the issue that will
be tackled through this, if the representatives of the government are to be
believed.
‘The basic aim of the Nayi Pahal Kit is to prepare the couple for the
responsibilities of married life. The box will be containing contraceptive
pills, emergency pills, packets of condoms, and general items for both, the
bride and the groom. A great initiative to inform people about safe sex and how
important it is to use condoms and contraceptive pills’ - Nirmal Singh 3C
If the collected data from NFHS
[National Family Health Survey] is to be taken into consideration, more than
80% of ASHA workers haven’t talked to female non-users about safe sex and
family planning. When asked to comment on the condition, Nirmal Singh 3C stated that this is the time to come on top of the
situation for the ASHA workers – they will have to keep a record of the kits
they have distributed and will also be expected to get feedback from the
couples after the question-answer sessions.
Highlights of the plan:
·
The scheme is being launched on the 11th
day of July
·
The Nayi
Pahel kit will include condoms, pills, and family planning and safe sex
details in the form of a letter from the Government.
·
ASHA workers of the neighborhood will be
distributing the kits to the newlyweds.
·
The scheme will work under Mission Parivar Vikas
This step is taken in a state
where sex education and openly talking about sex is considered taboo – a step
in the right direction - NirmalSingh 3C
If the scheme is successful, which seems likely,
other states should be a part of it, too
