About Us
Our Name, Our Legacy
DKT Healthcare India Pvt. Ltd. is named after Doctor D.K. (Deep) Tyagi, a former assistant commissioner of family planning in India, who played a pivotal role in introducing modern family planning methods to millions of people. Despite passing away at the young age of 41, Dr. Tyagi made a major contribution to his country’s family planning efforts.
Dr. Tyagi maintained close ties with his village in Uttar Pradesh, which allowed him to see a fundamental incongruity between national family planning goals and the traditional aspirations of rural Indians. His work did much to bridge this gap. Starting in 1966, when modern contraceptives were virtually unknown in rural India, Dr. Tyagi’s massive behaviour change program brought awareness about contraception to millions of people. His simple, attractive messages and designs, including the iconic Red Triangle became commonplace throughout the country, overcame societal barriers, and increased understanding of modern contraceptive methods.
DKT Healthcare India Pvt. Ltd. is an affiliate of DKT International, USA, which is a global social enterprise providing affordable and accessible sexual and reproductive health products and services.
