Abstract
India’s U5MR declined from 125 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 43 per 1,000 live births in 2015 (reduced by 66%) compared to the global rate of 90 per 1000 live births in 1990 to 42 per 1000 live births in 2015 (reduced by 54%). Similarly, infant mortality rate also decreased from 68 per 1000 live births in 2000 to 38 per 1000 live births in 2015 (44% reduction) and NMR from 40 per 1000 live births in 2000 to 25 per 1000 live births in 2015 (38% reduction).2 Out of all three, the NMR has shown least impressive fall. NMR accounts for two-thirds of IMR and 60% of U5MR.
