About
An in-depth look at infant mortality rates (IMR) across India charts the country's progress over several decades. It provides valuable information on health trends, reflecting socio-economic factors and the impact of policy initiatives on child health and safety. The data serves as a significant resource for understanding the challenges and advancements India has made in infant health, highlighting both the strides taken and the work that remains. It is important to note that data points before the 1990s contain multiple null values, reflecting data collection limitations from that era, so caution should be exercised when making historical comparisons.
