Projected infant mortality rate in India from 2011-2035 by state

The state with the highest IMR in India between 2011 and 2015 was Madhya Pradesh, which presented an IMR of 58 per thousand infants. From 2031 to 2035, the highest projected IMRs were to be seen in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, with 38 and 37 deaths per thousand infants respectively. Countries with high IMR rates are indicative of subpar standards not only in terms of medical treatment, but also relative to sanitation, nutrition, and education. The infant mortality rate (IMR) is a health indicator of the general physical health of a society. The IMR measures the amount of human deaths that take place within a group, under the age of one year.
