About ISSRF
The comprehensive approach to reproductive health demands increased awareness on methods of family planning, maternal health, neonatal morbidity and a growing burden of reproductive ill health resulting from reproductive tract cancers, concerns of reproductive organs, sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS, infertility and the adverse effect on gender based violence.
In order to provide a common Scientific Platform for all these specialties and for the common cause of promoting Reproductive Health Research, The Indian Society for the Study of Reproduction and Fertility (ISSRF) was formed and registered in 1988. Over the years, the mandate of the Society has broadened and includes various multidisciplinary components of reproductive health.

- To facilitate exchange of knowledge and ideas in the area of reproduction through Seminars, Workshops, Conferences and Meetings held from time to time.
- To promote the growth of the discipline of Reproductive Biology and Reproductive Medical Care.

ISSRF Newsletter
The other initiative of the Society has been the publication of its biannual Newsletter, ISSRF Newsletter (ISSN: 2395-2806), to disseminate information on reproductive health and also facilitate inter- personal communication between the members. The Society has published 27 issues of the newsletter on various priority areas of reproductive health. The ISSRF has also been regularly organizing national workshops on reproductive health awareness, particularly for adolescent senior school students, as its mid-term activity. The scientific information about the physical, psychological and social changes that take place from childhood to adolescence and adulthood has become increasingly important in view of adverse effects due to changing environment & lifestyle related to occupational requirements.
