&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Even as the Centre has expressed its intent of adopting measures to control population growth, the total fertility rate in a large part of the country has shown a considerable fall over the last four years, the phase 1 of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5 shows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For 22 states and UTs for which data has been released on Saturday, the TFR or children born per woman now stands at 1.76 while it was 2 during the NFHS-4, carried out in 2015-16. The TFR in India was 2.2 in the last survey - just a notch above the replacement level of 2.1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Surprisingly though, Kerala, known for the best human development indices in the country, is the only state where the TFR has increased. During NFHS-4 the TFR in the southern state stood at 1.6 but has now risen to 1.8 and is the same in both rural and urban areas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There are two states - Telangana (1.8) and Tripura (1.7) - where the TFR has remained the same while there has been remarkable drop in the crucial indicator for most states including Bihar, the state with the highest TFR.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Even as the Centre has expressed its intent of adopting measures to control population growth, the total fertility rate in a large part of the country has shown a considerable fall over the last four years, the phase 1 of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5 shows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For 22 states and UTs for which data has been released on Saturday, the TFR or children born per woman now stands at 1.76 while it was 2 during the NFHS-4, carried out in 2015-16.

Fertility rate falls in major states but rises in Kerala -Sumi Sukanya Dutta

-The New Indian Express While the state now has a TFR of 3, as compared to the last survey when it stood at 3.4, Kerala and Goa are among 8 states where the sex ratio at birth has worsened. NEW DELHI: Even as the Centre has expressed its intent of adopting measures to control population growth, the total fertility rate in a large part of the country has shown a considerable fall over the last four years, the phase 1 of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5 shows. For 22 states and UTs for which data has been released on Saturday, the TFR or children born per woman now stands at 1.76 while it was 2 during the NFHS-4, carried out in 2015-16. The TFR in India was 2.2 in the last survey - just a notch above the replacement level of 2.1. Surprisingly though, Kerala, known for the best human development indices in the country, is the only state where the TFR has increased. During NFHS-4 the TFR in the southern state stood at 1.6 but has now risen to 1.8 and is the same in both rural and urban areas. There are two states - Telangana (1.8) and Tripura (1.7) - where the TFR has remained the same while there has been remarkable drop in the crucial indicator for most states including Bihar, the state with the highest TFR.
