The main conclusions that we can draw from the abovementinonad<br />

sets of estimates are tho following:­<br />

(a) TFR estimates for tha years 1986 to 2001, which are<br />

currantly used, appear to bo reaonab oL;<br />

(b) CBR estimatas for 1286 and 1991, whIch are currently used,<br />

saum to be under-estimtes, particularly for 1991 '<br />

(c] CBR estimates for 1996 and 2001, which era currently used,<br />

appear to ba reasonable.<br />

The conclusion (b) cells for further comment. If C$R<br />

estimate for 1986 is revised and put in the range "39.2 to 40.0",<br />

and the corresponding estimate for 1991 is also revised and put in<br />

the range "36. 2 to 36.9", than the population projections<br />

themselves may need to be re-examined.<br />

From the methodological point of view, our model opena up new<br />

poasvbi Li ties for research, for example,<br />

(i) The enti re exercisu can be repeated by taking 1985 or 1986<br />

as the base year if the CPS-1985/86 provides detailed data<br />

significantly different from the trend revealed by CPS-1981<br />

and CPS-1903.<br />

(i i Additional patterns of natural ferti Li ty can alse be tested<br />

[ i-Ai I Greater attention can be devoted to test the validity of<br />

commonly accepted values of use-effectiveness of different<br />

methods of cant racepti on, and of the sterility correction<br />

factors, ago-specific as wel l as overall.<br />
