• The elimination of contraceptive acceptor targets and the evolution of
population policy in India by PETER J. DONALDSON
• In 1996 the government of India announced a new national population
policy that eliminated numerical targets for new contraceptive acceptors..
The analysis is based on published and unpublished reports on India's
population policy and the family planning programme and interviews with
senior Indian and foreign officials and population specialists.
• Five factors are identified as playing a role in the evolution from target
setting to a target-free policy: (1) the research of India's academics; (2) the
work of women's health advocates; (3) the support of officials in the state
bureaucracy who approved the target-free approach; (4) the influence of
the donors to India's family planning programme, especially the World
Bank; and (5) the International Conference on Population and
Development.
