JSK has involved private sector doctors (gynaecologists) to promote the use of an intra-uterine contraceptive device called IUCD 380A which prevents pregnancy upto 10 years.  This device was introduced by Government of India in 2002 as a part of its National Family Planning Programme. The improved version is popular in government facilities but has not been picked in large measure by the private sector although it is a boon for women who want to have both long term protection from pregnancy and the option of having a baby.

This device is extremely popular in other countries particularly in China.  The health risks associated with the method are negligible. The option is reversible and can be used by women apprehensive about opting for surgery.

JSK has established a Virtual Resource Centre (VRC) which provides access to films, posters, photos on subjects like gender, maternal and infant mortality, the waning sex ratio, adolescent health spacing etc. the material is of use to the teaching fraternity, NGO’s, Media, Researchers and Students. Inter-university and school level quiz competitions are now being planned which would further motivate young people to use the VRC which would heighten interest in material and child health issues..

The VRC is a virtual documentation centre and anyone can place orders and receive the material on CD free of cost.
