Hi,

I am sorry but I need to encourage you to do some homework.  Your actual 
problem right now is most probably somewhere in your source data that comes 
from PostGIS.  Mapserver works, but it does not find any data and therefore the 
resulting dataset is empty. I cannot say what you should do in order to make 
your PostGIS layer work. If you want to see how a successfull GetFeature looks 
like, read once again the document http://mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html and 
click the sample GetFeature request 
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&TYPENAME=park

You will see that the result set contains the geometry and attributes, but it 
does also include a reference to DescribeFeatureType request. I copy that part 
for you here under:

wfs:FeatureCollection xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs 
http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd                         
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapserver 
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=park&OUTPUTFORMAT=XMLSCHEMA";>

The meaning of the part containing "DescribeFeatureType" is that the xml schema 
document that describes your feature type can be obtained by running that 
certain query.  It is how WFS is planned to work.  Try copy-paste with your 
browser and this url and you should get something interesting reading back:

http://localhost:81/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=d:/Delhi1_wfs_postgres.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=delhi_district&OUTPUTFORMAT=XMLSCHEMA
