India's National Population Policy

India’s National Population Policy aims to stabilize the population by promoting voluntary family planning, reproductive health, and empowerment of women. It encourages couples to choose the number of children they want while providing access to healthcare, education, and information about contraception. The goal is to improve quality of life, reduce maternal and child mortality, and ensure sustainable development. The policy emphasizes the importance of spacing births, delaying marriage, and reducing fertility rates, while respecting individual choices. Overall, it seeks balanced population growth aligned with economic and social progress.
