The document summarizes the history and goals of India's national population policies. It discusses how the first policy was introduced in 1952 to stabilize population growth. Subsequent policies in 1976, 1983, and 1991 emphasized small family norms and health targets. The current 2000 policy aims to reach population stability by 2045 through education, women's empowerment, health services, and decentralization. Its intermediate goal is to reach replacement fertility levels by 2010 and its reproductive, child, and general health targets for that year. Full implementation of the 2000 policy is expected to reduce projected population in 2010 from 1162 to 1107 million.
