| What is the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) defined as? | the infant deaths (less than one year) per thousand live births in a given time period and for a given region | Infant Mortality Rate The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), which is widely accepted as a crude indicator of the overall health scenario of a country or a region, is defined as the infant deaths (less than one year) per thousand live births in a given time period and for a given region. The present level of IMR (32 infant deaths per thousand live births, for the year 2018) is about one-fourth as compared to 1971 (129 infant deaths per thousand live births). In the last ten years, IMR has witnessed a decline of about 35% in rural areas and about 32% in urban areas. The Figure-4 given below indicates that IMR at all India level has declined from 50 to 32 in the last decade. The corresponding decline in rural areas is 55 to 36, and for urban areas it is from 34 to 23. | 172 | definition | 1.000 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/42682/download/46352/SRS_Bulletin_2018_Vol_53_No_1.pdf | Infant Mortality Rate The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), which is widely accepted as a crude indicator of the overall health scenario of a country or a region, is defined as the infant deaths (less than one year) per thousand live births in a given time period and for a given region. | 3 | page=3,block=2 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is the main objective of the Sample Registration System (SRS)? | providing reliable annual estimates of Infant mortality rate, birth rate, death rate and other fertility & mortality indicators | VITAL STATISTICS DIVISION, WEST BLOCK 1, WING 1, 2ND FLOOR, R. K. PURAM, NEW DELHI-110 066 ISSN 0971-3549 About SRS The Sample Registration System (SRS) is a large-scale demographic survey for providing reliable annual estimates of Infant mortality rate, birth rate, death rate and other fertility & mortality indicators at the national and sub- national levels. Initiated on a pilot basis by the Office of the Registrar General, India in a few selected states in 1964-65, it became fully operational during 1969-70 with about 3700 sample units. The field investigation consists of continuous enumeration of births and deaths in selected sample units by resident part time enumerators, generally anganwadi workers & teachers; and an independent retrospective survey every six months by SRS supervisors. The data obtained by these two independent functionaries are matched. | 193 | definition | 1.000 | https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/42682/download/46352/SRS_Bulletin_2018_Vol_53_No_1.pdf | PURAM, NEW DELHI-110 066 ISSN 0971-3549 About SRS The Sample Registration System (SRS) is a large-scale demographic survey for providing reliable annual estimates of Infant mortality rate, birth rate, death rate and other fertility & mortality indicators at the national and sub- national levels. |

| What is done with events that are unmatched or partially matched in the Sample Registration System (SRS)? | re-verified in the field and thereafter an unduplicated count of births and deaths is obtained | The unmatched and partially matched events are re-verified in the field and thereafter an unduplicated count of births and deaths is obtained. The sample unit in rural areas is a village or a segment of it (if the village population is 2000 or more). In urban areas, the sampling unit is a census enumeration block with population ranging from 750 to 1000. The SRS sample is replaced every ten years based on the latest census frame. The current sample is based on the 2011 Census frame. SRS is operational in 8847 sample units (4,961 rural and 3,886 urban) covering about 8.1 million population, spread across all States and Union territories.
