“The birth rate at all Indian levels fell significantly to 18.4 in 1971 in the last five years. In the last five years, the rural-sectual differential has shrinked in these years. However, the birth rate in the last five years has continued to be higher in rural areas.” He said.

Mortality rate is one of the simplest mortality measures and is defined as the number of deaths per thousand in a particular region and time period.” He said.
