| How has life expectancy at birth changed from 2006-10 to 2014-18? | from 65.8 years in 2006-10 to 69.1 years in 2014-18 | Ever since the inception of NHM in 2005, the State has shown a decline in IMR from 61 (2005) to 29 (2019), which is below the national average of 30 (Annexure 2, Figure 1). Though the NNMRm has significantly decreased from 32. (2005) to 25 (2018), the Still Birth (per 1,000 live births) Rate, however, shows a rising trend from 1. (2005) to 2 (2018) (Annexure 2, Figure 4).
