| Crude Death Rate (CDR) | 6.0 | 6.4 (2024) | SRS 2024 |
| IMR (Infant Mortality Rate) | 28/1000 LB | 24/1000 LB (2024) | SRS 2024 |
| NMR (Neonatal Mortality Rate) | 23/1000 LB | 20/1000 LB (2020) | SRS 2020 |
| MMR (Maternal Mortality Ratio) | 97/1,00,000 LB | 88/1,00,000 LB (2020-22) | SRS Special Bulletin |

Key Recent Developments
1. SRS 2024 (released June 2025):
- CBR dropped to 18.3 (from 18.4 in 2023; your notes show 19.5 - now outdated)
- CDR at 6.4 (slightly higher than the 6.0 in your notes - partly due to post-COVID effects)
- IMR improved to 24 per 1000 live births (down from 28 in your notes)
- Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is below replacement level (2.1) for the 5th straight year
2. MMR Progress (SRS Special Bulletin 2020-22):
- MMR dropped to 88/1,00,000 LB (your notes show 97, which was 2018-20 data)
- India's MMR has declined 86% from 1990 to 2023 vs. global reduction of 48%
- PIB press release confirms India is a top performer globally
3. NFHS-6 (2023-24, released May 2026):
- Important caveat: NFHS-6 actually removed mortality indicators (IMR, U5MR, sex ratio at birth) from its questionnaire - so SRS remains the primary source for these
- Institutional deliveries: 90.6% (up from 88.6% in NFHS-5)
- ANC coverage: 95.9% of pregnant women received antenatal care
- Full immunization coverage improved from 83.8% to 87.1%
4. UN IGME 2024 Report (March 2025) - India's achievements over 33 years:
- U5MR declined by 78% (vs. global 61%)
- NMR declined by 70% (vs. global 54%)
- IMR declined by 71% (vs. global 58%)
Exam Tip
For MCQs, the values in your notes (CBR 19.5, IMR 28, MMR 97, U5MR 32, NMR 23, CDR 6.0) are from SRS 2018-2020 and were correct as of Marrow 2024. For 2025-2026 exams, use:
- IMR = 24 (SRS 2024)
- MMR = 88 (SRS 2020-22)
- CBR = 18.3 (SRS 2024)
- CDR = 6.4 (SRS 2024)
