Explanation

SDG 3.1 targets a global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of less than 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030, with no country exceeding 140 per 100,000 live births. India's MMR per SRS 2018-20 is 97 per 100,000 live births, a significant decline from 254 in 2004-06, but still above the SDG target. Progress is tracked through the Sample Registration System (SRS) in India.
