37 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Sample Registration Bulletin, published by censusindia.gov.in. The source is a 9-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include sample registration system, infant mortality rate, birth rate, death rate, natural growth rate, india, states, union territories. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 24 factual, 7 definition, 3 summary, 2 list, 1 comparison. 13 of the 37 pairs (35.1%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 24 are factual or table-based questions. 94.59% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains 37 question-and-answer pairs derived from the Sample Registration Bulletin, focusing on fertility and mortality indicators in India for 2019. It includes definitions, comparisons, and summaries of key metrics such as birth rate, death rate, and infant mortality rate (IMR).
