28. Related Research Article 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 The analysis is based on published and unpublished reports on India's population policy and the family planning programme and interviews with senior Indian and foreign officials and population specialists.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.
