According to the publication titled “Children in India 2025” report, released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), the infant mortality rate (IMR) decreased from 44 per 1,000 live births in 2011 to what figure in 2023?
25 per 1,000 live births
Infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of infant deaths (children below 1 year) per 1,000 live births in a year.
MoSPI's report 'Children in India 2025', based on Sample Registration System (SRS) data, shows India's IMR falling from 44 per 1,000 live births in 2011 to 25 per 1,000 live births in 2023.
This is a fall of 19 points over the period, reflecting better institutional deliveries, immunisation and maternal and child health programmes.
Hence, the answer is 25 per 1,000 live births.
