Eight states are now past a target set by the United Nations for 2030

New Delhi: India’s maternal mortality ratio has for the first time dropped below 100 per 100,000 live births, in line with a steady decline over the past two decades.

Eight states are now past a target set by the United Nations for 2030.

The country’s maternal mortality ratio declined to 97 during the period 2018-2020 from 113 during 2016- 18 and 130 during 2014-16, according to a special bulletin on maternal mortality released on Tuesday by the Registrar General of India, a Union home ministry department.

The latest figures also show wide variations in the ratios across states — from the highest 195 in Assam followed by 173 in Madhya Pradesh and 167 in Uttar Pradesh to the lowest 19 in Kerala.

“Multiple initiatives, some of them launched over 15 years ago, have driven this steady decline,” said Sanjay Mohanty, professor and head of the population policies department at the International Institute of Population Sciences, Mumbai.

Among key initiatives was the Union health ministry’s Janani Suraksha Yojana launched in 2005 to maximise institutional deliveries.
