Abstract: This study examines the relationship between awareness, attitude and practice of family planning of people who belong to top and bottom performing districts of a state on one hand and on the other with seven biographic characteristics. Data for this study came from 1200 married respondents (600 from each district). The results showed that the top district is top because the respondents of this district have relatively better awareness more supportive attitude and higher practice of family planning. While the relationship between age, age at the time of marriage of self and spouse, number of children, education of self and spouse and income showed generally significant association with awareness, attitude and practice. Districtwise correlations showed different pattern.
