The Target for Fourth Millennium Development Goal (MDG) is: “Reduce by two-thirds the mortality among children under five in
1990”.
Where India stand
now:
India’s Under
Five Mortality (U5MR) was estimated at 125 per 1000 live births in 1990 and
thus target for this MDG in case of India is to have U5MR as 41.7 per 1000 live
births or to reduce it by 83.3 per 1,000 live births by the end of 2015. India’s U5MR declined from 125 per 1,000 live
births in 1990 to 59 per 1,000 live births in 2010 (as per official agency
estimate).
