  2. Audio-visual and the print media should be used by government and non-government organisations for creating awareness about reproductive health.
  3. Younger generation should be educated about family planning measures, pre-natal and post-natal care of women and care of infant with knowledge about importance of breastfeeding.
  4. Awareness should be spread about problems arising due to uncontrolled population growth, sex abuse and sex related crimes. Necessary steps to prevent these to be taken.
