National Population Policy (India)

The National Population Policy of India, introduced in 2000, aims to achieve a stable population by promoting responsible family planning, improving healthcare, and ensuring education. Its goals include reducing maternal and infant mortality rates, enhancing reproductive health services, and empowering women through education and access to resources. The policy supports voluntary and informed choices regarding family size and encourages delayed childbirth, especially for young women. By focusing on these areas, India seeks to balance population growth with sustainable development, ensuring better quality of life for its citizens while addressing economic and social challenges.
