This paper seeks to refocus the attention of environmentalists on the importance of population trends to environmental sustainability. It examines the determinants of family planning service, use and the barriers in accessing family planning services among urban and rural respondents. Data were collected from a household survey of 250 married men and women. The results indicate that the present generations which are educated practice well planned family planning among other respondents. The most striking result observed was there is a decrease in number of off springs from the past three generations. The key factors that are affecting the family planning in rural areas were identified as lack of awareness, lack of facilities, belief of family, orthodox nature of elders in family etc. As a fact it is understood that it is the women who want to control the number of children they have but are unfortunately not allowed due to the above reasons.
