## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 440* FOR 1 ST  APRIL, 2022

(a) and (b): Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is derived as the proportion of maternal deaths  per  1,00,000  live  births  as  per  the  Sample  Registration  System  (SRS) published by the Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India. The MMR of India has declined over the years to 103 for the period 2017-19 as compared to 113 in 2016-18, 122 in 2015-17, 130 in 2014-16.

The Target 3.1 of Sustainable Development Goal set by United Nations aims at  reducing  the  global  MMR  to  less  than  70  per  1,00,000  live  births  by  2030. Accordingly,  the  States  of  Kerala,  Maharashtra,  Telangana,  Tamil  Nadu,  Andhra Pradesh  and  Jharkhand  have  already  achieved  the  SDG  target  of  MMR.  The  State wise MMR for the periods 2016-18 and 2017-19 is given at Annexure .
