Acceleration due to the earth's gravity is zero at the centre of the Earth because at that point the mass of the earth is equally distributed in all directions, so pulling equally in all directions for a net zero pull. As the distance from the centre decreases, the acceleration due to gravity also decreases.

Hi
___________________
When we move towards centre of earth, the mass is equally distributed in all directions.
The mass beneath you = Mass in front of you = Mass behind you
Thus, all the gravitational forces applied cancel each other and acceleration due to gravity (g) at centre of earth on centre of earth becomes zero (0).
