I think a private data will show otherwise,” said Ghosh.Additional director of Jharkhand State Aids Control Society (JSACS) Dr B N Poddar feels this is good news for his state. Earlier, there were limited options and thus condoms gained popularity.”The RTI reply shows the number of condoms distributed free of cost by the government in 2011-12 was 59,61,251 which came down to 45,76,642 in 2016-17. The data provided through the RTI also shows that the number of condom users in the country was 1,50,15,973 (figure includes free distribution and distribution under social marketing programme) in 2011-2012.
