“India has recorded a significant decline in infant deaths over the past decade, with the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) falling to 24 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2024…

The latest Sample Registration System (SRS) Report 2024 shows that India reduced its IMR from 30 in 2019 to 24 in 2024, reflecting an annual average decline of around one point. The improvement has been driven largely by a sharp increase in institutional deliveries and expanded maternal and child healthcare services across the country.”
