India conducted its last decennial census in 2011. The Sample Registration System (SRS) 2020 report provides vital statistics. Which of the following rates are CORRECTLY matched according to SRS 2020?

  • A Crude Birth Rate 30.1 per 1000; Total Fertility Rate 2.7; IMR 32 per 1000 live births
  • B Crude Birth Rate 24.1 per 1000; Total Fertility Rate 2.2; MMR 103 per 100,000 live births
  • C Crude Birth Rate 19.5 per 1000; Total Fertility Rate 2.0; IMR 28 per 1000 live births
  • D Crude Birth Rate 18.7 per 1000; Total Fertility Rate 1.9; NMR 16 per 1000 live births
Correct answer: C. Crude Birth Rate 19.5 per 1000; Total Fertility Rate 2.0; IMR 28 per 1000 live births

Explanation

According to SRS Statistical Report 2020 (published 2022): Crude Birth Rate (CBR) = 19.5 per 1000 population; Total Fertility Rate (TFR) = 2.0 (at replacement level); Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) = 28 per 1000 live births (rural 31, urban 19). India's TFR reaching 2.0 is a significant milestone as it is at or below replacement-level fertility (2.1). MMR per the SRS-based Maternal Mortality Report 2018–20 was 97 per 100,000 live births nationally. NMR (Neonatal Mortality Rate) was approximately 20 per 1000 live births in SRS 2020.
