This is a rather vague question -- the link I have added
here is to a 16 page pdf that explains the National Population Policy of 2000. It is
hard to know which aspects of the policy you want
explained.
Basically speaking, the National Population
Policy is aimed at reducing the growth of India's population. Unlike China's population
policy, however, India's is not coercive. Instead, it is based on the idea of
persuading and encouraging people to have fewer children. For example, there is a
strong emphasis on family planning and contraceptives. There is also an emphasis on
education to get more people to voluntarily reduce the number of children they are
having.
So the basic explanation of this policy is that
India wishes to reduce the growth of its population but, very importantly, wishes to do
so through education and voluntary action rather than through coercion the way China
has.
