Statement (I) is true because oral contraceptives (pills) are physiological methods of birth control that are taken in the form of tablets. They alter physiological processes such as inhibiting ovulation and implantation, as well as altering the quality of cervical mucus to prevent the entry of sperms.
Statement (II) is false because the contraceptive pill 'Saheli' is a non-steroidal preparation. It is a once-a-week pill with very few side effects and high contraceptive value.
Therefore, Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
