Abstract
Every government's first responsibility is to ensure the provision of public health services, and as a result, the government has taken action to maintain public health by opening health centres, hospitals, and mobile hospitals as well as by planning large-scale health awareness campaigns. In this essay, the patterns and trends in India's infant and child mortality rates and fertility rate from 1951 to 2023 are examined. the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, Vital Statistics Division, books, journals, RBI bulletins, theses, and websites; and the Directorate of Economics and Statistics. According to the data, India had a death rate of 27.584 per 1000 people in 1951, a 2.050 percent decrease from 1950. India currently has a death rate of 7.416 per 1000 people in 2023, a 0.490 percent decrease from 2022. Similar to this, India had a 1951 infant mortality rate of 186.737 deaths per 1000 live births, a 1.530 percent decrease from 1950. India's infant mortality rate in 2023 is projected to be 26.619 deaths per 1000 live births, a 3.89 percent decrease from 2022. 5.906 babies per woman are delivered in India in 1951, a 0.020 percent decrease from 1950. In India, there will be 2.139 births per woman in 2023, a 0.93 percent decrease from 2022. India's fertility rate fell by 0.92 percent from 2021 to 2022, to 2.159 births per woman. According to the study, between 1950 and 2023, India's mortality and infant mortality rates rose at compound annual growth rates of 6.44 percent and 7.25 percent, respectively, as did its fertility rate. The trend coefficients, which are positive and significant at a 5 percent level, suggest that India's death rate, infant mortality rate, and fertility rate have all increased between 1950 and 2023. The trend coefficient for India's death rate, infant mortality rate, and fertility rate from 1950 to 2023 is 0.077, whereas it is 0.072 for the number of fertility rates. In India, there has been a general decline in death rates throughout time.
