One may see very clearly that for this year in the case of maternal deaths burden in India; the most significant contribution to this is by the states of Uttar Pradesh, Assam and Rajasthan.  For this year in the case of infant deaths burden in India; the most significant contribution to this burden is by the states of Uttar Pradesh again, followed by Madhya Pradesh and then by Rajasthan.  As regards to less adoption of family planning in these high focused states, measured in terms of share of births, the  most significant states in this respect are Uttar Pradesh again, followed by Bihar and then by Madhya Pradesh.  As regards to less performance of general health services in these high focused states, measured in terms of share of deaths, the  most significant contributory states in this respect are Orissa, followed by Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Assam.  It can be observed that the sister/ baby states formed some time back out of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar are doing much better than their parents in the respects for which this analysis is being presented.  Are we having a case for forming smaller states out of bigger states like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh for dealing with the issues/problems relating to population dynamics and Millennium Development Goals set for the whole world?
