Abstract
Contraception is essentially evolving into a need of the hour due to rampant population explosion as well as due to the health of the mother. In certain sections of the society, more so in the rural community, the approach towards contraceptive usage is low on account of apprehensions, societal issues or plain ignorance. The present study was designed to understand the factors that determine contraceptive usage in such a community in rural rajasthan. It was found that factors such as family type, earlier child and socio-economic factors affect the choice of contraceptive usage. The use of counselling methods can help in overcoming the initial apprehensions that are faced by the women. Secondly an awareness created in the mind of the husband and relatives can aid in providing a well balanced decision on contraception as in rural set ups, the decision does not solely rest on the female.

Summary
The World Health Organization (WHO) has been analysing research evidence to come up with the best evidence-based guidelines for the use of contraceptives. Meeting the contraceptive need of women is still a priority with the sustainable development goals for 2030. In 2016, adolescent sexual and reproductive health was prioritised, as two major worldwide health strategies, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the United Nations Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health, are being implemented. The acceptance of contraceptive methods varies within societies and among different castes and religious groups. The local populace is coming to our institution for deliveries as well as antenatal care, which provided us with a opportunity to study the attitudes and determinants affecting the decision to use contraceptives in the post natal period
