Indian Society for the Study of Reproduction and Fertility
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 Scientic 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.
Objectives of the Society are:
• To provide a forum for the discussion of Scientific, Clinical, Social and Veterinary knowledge on all aspects of Human and Animal Reproduction.
• 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 (ISSN: 2395-2806): One of the most regular activities of the Society has been the publication of its biannual Newsletter, to disseminate information on reproductive health and also facilitate interpersonal communication between the members. The Society has published 32 issues of the Newsletter on various priority areas of reproductive health.

The Midterm activity of the Society and various webinars/seminars are organized that provides a platform for the researchers and scientists working in the field of reproductive biology to interact and disseminate the recent ndings with younger generations (Adolescents) and to make people aware about the burning issues of the domain. Society has instituted seven Orations and twelve Young Scientist Awards to recognize the extraordinary contributions of researchers in the field of reproductive biology.
Strength of the Society: As on today the Society has 1792 founder and life members, biomedical sciences, social sciences, veterinary sciences, clinicians-particularly gynecologists and andrologists, health care providers and women’s health groups. ISSRF life-members representing 44 Medical Colleges, 66 Universities, 106 Hospitals, 53 Institutes, 52 Colleges, 134 Nursing Home/Clinics/Research Centers/Diagnostic Labs/Pharmaceutical Companies and 10 Funding Agencies.
