The higher fertility in India is attributed to ea rly marriage, low level of literacy, poor level of living, limited use of contraceptives and traditional ways of life. Family planning plays a key role in decidi ng the desired family size and effective limitation of fertility. Objectives: 1) To study the socio-demographic profile of marrie d women of reproductive age group attending anganwadi centres 2) To assess knowledge and practice of contraceptio n among them 3) To find out the unmet need of contraception. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from May to July 2014 among married females between 15-4 5 years attending any of the six Anganwadi centres under the Urban Health Centre, Ankuli, Berhampur. 224 partici pants were interviewed in local language using a pr edesigned and pretested questionnaire Results: 58.58% of the women were between 20-30 years and l ive in nuclear families (65.6%). 29% had history of induced abortion. Most common re ason of induced abortion were cited as unintended p r gnancy (48.45) followed by complete family size (37.8%). A wareness about OCPs and female sterilisation was 96 .9% followed by Condom (90.3%). Major source of information on c ontraception were through friends and relatives (47 .5%) followed by husband (41.4%). Contraception was practiced by 48% of the respondents. Majority of them (26.8%) we re OCP users followed by condom (8%). Use of contraception was m utually decided by the couples (99%). The unmet nee d of contraception was found to be 34.3% .
