The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.1 target for Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) by 2030 is less than:

  • A 50 per 100,000 live births
  • B 100 per 100,000 live births
  • C 70 per 100,000 live births
  • D 140 per 100,000 live births
Correct answer: C. 70 per 100,000 live births

Explanation

SDG Target 3.1 specifies reducing the global Maternal Mortality Ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030. India's MMR per SRS 2018-20 is 97 per 100,000 live births (an improvement from 254 in 2004-06), approaching but not yet meeting the SDG target. SDG 3.2 targets neonatal mortality rate <12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality rate <25 per 1,000 live births by 2030.
