State governments in India frequently organise masssterilisation camps under a national programme whereby women are given 1,400rupees ($23) as an incentive to undergo the procedure.
印度州政府经常举行大规模的绝育行动，这是个国家计划，接受绝育手术的妇女可获得23美元的奖励。
Under pressure to meet targets, some localgovernments also offer other incentives such as cars and electrical goods tocouples volunteering for sterilisation.
在实现目标的压力之下，一些当地政府还提供其他的奖励措施，比如汽车和电器。
Although the surgery is voluntary, rightsgroups say the target-driven nature of the programme has led to women beingcoerced into being sterilised, often in inadequate medical facilities.
虽然手术是自愿的，但是由于该计划是要完成一定指标的，所以导致妇女被强迫进行绝育手术，而且经常是在不太合格的医疗环境中执行。
