State’s Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-11) had set targets related to Birth Rate
(21), Death Rate (9), Infant Mortality Rate (60), Maternal Mortality Ratio (220)
and Total Fertility Rate (2.1) to be achieved by year 2012. However, the latest
figures available as per the Annual Health Survey 2010 indicate that Birth Rate
at 25 (27.3 in rural areas) continues to pose a formidable challenge. The Death
Rate has of course come down to 8 whilst in rural areas it is pegged at a higher
level at 8.8. According to latest SRS 2011, the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) has
declined to 62 while the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) has declined to 310.The
reduction in MMR from 335 to 310 has been closely attributed to a steep hike in
institutional deliveries from 52 to as high as 83 percent.
