232 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Sample Registration System, published by censusindia.gov.in. 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. 103 of the 232 pairs (44.4%) are explanatory questions and 129 restate a figure. 98.71% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

| What are natural divisions as defined in the context of SRS? | National Sample Survey (NSS) classified group of contiguous administrative districts with distinct geographical and other natural characteristics | The earlier sample was based on the reliability of birth rate at the State level, whereas the 2004 and 2014 samples have been estimated using IMR reliability at natural division level. The present report ‘SRS Statistical Report, 2024’ is based on the sample from Census 2011 frame. 1. The main objective of SRS is to provide reliable estimates of Birth Rate, Death Rate and Infant Mortality Rate at the Natural division level for bigger States/UTs and at the State level for smaller States/UTs. Natural divisions are National Sample Survey (NSS) classified group of contiguous administrative districts with distinct geographical and other natural characteristics. It also provides data for other measures of fertility and mortality including Total Fertility, Infant and Child Mortality Rate at higher geographical levels.

| What does the Total Marital Fertility Rate measure? | the average number of children expected to be born per married woman during the entire span of her reproductive period | Total Marital Fertility Rate: 3. Like TFR, Total Marital Fertility Rate (TMFR) is the cumulative value of Age-Specific Marital Fertility Rates at the end of the reproductive period. It indicates the average number of children expected to be born per married woman during the entire span of her reproductive period, if the ASMFRs continue to be the same and if there is no mortality. The TMFRs worked out on the basis of ASMFRs for the year 2024 are given below in Statement 29 for India and bigger States/UTs separately for rural and urban areas. The TMFR for India in 2024 was 4.9, with a higher TMFR in rural areas (5.0) compared to urban areas (4.4). The TMFRs for the individual States/UTs vary, with the highest TMFR being observed in Bihar (6.9), while the lowest TMFR is seen in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal each at 3.4 followed by Karnataka (3.6), Odisha & Telangana each at 3.7. | 195 | definition | 1.000 | It indicates the average number of children expected to be born per married woman during the entire span of her reproductive period, if the ASMFRs continue to be the same and if there is no mortality. | 125 | |||
| What does the Early Neo-Natal Mortality Rate represent? | number of infant deaths less than seven days of life per thousand live births | Early Neo-Natal Mortality Rate: 4. Early Neo-Natal Mortality Rate, i.e. number of infant deaths less than seven days of life per thousand live births, forms an important component of Infant Mortality Rate and more specifically of the Neo-Natal Mortality Rate. Statement 49 given below presents the Early Neo- Natal Mortality Rate along with the percentage of Early Neo-Natal deaths to the total infant deaths for the year 2024. The Early Neo-Natal Mortality Rate in India was 13 in 2024, with higher rates in rural areas (14) than urban areas (9). The percentage share of Early Neo-Natal deaths to infant deaths in India is 52.7, with a slightly higher rate in urban areas (52.9) than in rural areas (52.6). Among the bigger States and Union Territories, Kerala had the lowest early neo-natal mortality rate of 4, while Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh had the highest rate of 19. | 72 | definition | 1.000 | Early Neo-Natal Mortality Rate, i.e. number of infant deaths less than seven days of life per thousand live births, forms an important component of Infant Mortality Rate and more specifically of the Neo-Natal Mortality Rate. | 184 | |||
| What is the definition of Peri-Natal Mortality Rate? | (number of still births and infant deaths less than 7 days of life per 1000 live births and still births) | Peri-Natal Mortality Rate and Still Birth Rate 4. Statement 50 given below presents the Peri-Natal Mortality Rate i.e. (number of still births and infant deaths less than 7 days of life per 1000 live births and still births) and Still Birth Rate i.e. (number of fetal deaths after 28 weeks of gestation per 1000 live birth and still birth) for the year 2024 by residence for India and bigger States/UTs. The Total Peri-Natal Mortality Rate in India was 20 in 2024, with a Still Birth Rate of 7. In terms of residence, the rural Peri-Natal Mortality Rate was higher than the urban rate, with a difference of 8. The state of Chhattisgarh had the highest Peri-Natal Mortality Rate of 31and Odisha had the highest Still-Birth Rate of 15. On the other hand, Telangana had the lowest still birth rate of 1 and Delhi had the lowest Peri-Natal Mortality Rate of 7. | 119 | definition | 1.000 | Statement 50 given below presents the Peri-Natal Mortality Rate i.e. (number of still births and infant deaths less than 7 days of life per 1000 live births and still births) and Still Birth Rate i.e. | 188 | page=188,block=2 | ||
| What is the definition of Still Birth Rate? | (number of fetal deaths after 28 weeks of gestation per 1000 live birth and still birth) | Peri-Natal Mortality Rate and Still Birth Rate 4.

| What does the Under-Five Mortality Rate (U5MR) represent? | the probability of a child dying before their fifth birthday, expressed as the number of deaths per 1,000 live births | Under-5 Mortality Rate: 4. The Under-Five Mortality Rates by residence are given below in Statement 53 separately for males and females for the year 2024. The U5MR indicates the probability of a child dying before their fifth birthday, expressed as the number of deaths per 1,000 live births. For India, the U5MR was 28 in 2024, which means that out of every 1,000 live births, 28 children died before reaching the age of five. The U5MR is higher in rural areas (32) compared to urban areas (19). Among the bigger States/UTs, the U5MR ranges from 9 in Kerala to 41 in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh for the year 2024. Kerala (9) had the lowest U5MR, followed by Delhi (13), Tamil Nadu (14), Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Maharashtra at 15 respectively.
