Abstract
<jats:p>The article discusses the Family Planning (FP) program’s wide spread evaluation by the Program Evaluation Organization (PEO) of the planning commission from 1963 to 1969. The article brings out the Knowledge, Attitude & Practices (KAP) concept given by the PEO. The concept is still used by the large scale surveys like National Family Health Surveys since the 1992-93 period. The KAP approach was given by the FP but it is being used regularly to evaluate other programs as well. After the KAP, the concept of Rapid Anthropological Surveys (RAP) also came up to monitor & evaluate programs. Subsequently, the concept of Culture, Attitude & Practices (CAP) also came to be used to assess programs.</jats:p>
