In a new milestone, there has been a significant decline in the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in the country. Congratulating the country on this achievement, Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare praised the remarkable progress in effectively lowering the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and stated in a tweet:
Significant Decline in the Maternal Mortality Ratio from 130 in 2014-16 to 97 per lakh live births in 2018-20. The various healthcare initiatives of PM @NarendraModi Ji’s Govt to ensure quality maternal and reproductive care helped tremendously in bringing down MMR.

As per the Special Bulletin on MMR released by the Registrar General of India (RGI), the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) of India has improved further by a spectacular 6 points and now stands at 97/ lakh live births. The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is defined as the number of maternal deaths during a given time period per 100,000 live births.
As per the statistics derived from Sample Registration System (SRS), the country has witnessed a progressive reduction in MMR from 130 in 2014-2016, 122 in 2015-17, 113 in 2016-18, 103 in 2017-19 and to 97 in 2018-20 as depicted below:
Figure 1: Progressive decline in the MMR ratio from 2013 -2020
Upon achieving this, India has accomplished the National Health Policy (NHP) target for MMR of less than 100/lakh live births and is on the right track to achieve the SDG target of MMR less than 70/ lakh live births by 2030.
The outstanding progress made in terms of the number of states which have achieved Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target, the number has now risen from six to eight leading with Kerala (19), followed by Maharashtra (33), then Telangana (43) and Andhra Pradesh (45), subsequently Tamil Nadu (54), Jharkhand (56), Gujarat (57) and lastly Karnataka (69).
Since 2014, under the National Health Mission (NHM), India has made a concerted effort to provide accessible quality maternal and newborn health services and minimize preventable maternal deaths. The National Health Mission has made significant investments to ensure provision of healthcare services, particularly for effective implementation of the maternal health programs to accomplish the specified MMR targets. Government schemes such as “Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram” and “Janani Suraksha Yojana” have been modified and upgraded to more assured and respectful service delivery initiatives like Surakshit Matritva Aashwasan’ (SUMAN). Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA) is particularly lauded for its focus on identifying high-risk pregnancies and facilitating their appropriate management. This had a significant impact on mitigating preventable mortality. LaQshya and Midwifery initiatives concentrate on promoting quality care in a respectful and dignified manner ensuring choice of birthing to all pregnant women.
India’s outstanding efforts in successfully lowering the MMR ratio provides an optimistic outlook on attaining SDG target of MMR less than 70 much before the stipulated time of 2030 and becoming known as a nation that provides respectful maternal care.

Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM (G)] Phase-II which is being implemented during the period from 2020-21 to 2024-25 with the focus to sustain Open Defecation Free (ODF) status and to cover all villages with Solid and Liquid Waste Management, is based on the model of convergence between different funding sources viz. SBM (G) budgetary grants, 15th Finance Commission grants to Rural Local Bodies (RLBs), MGNREGS, etc. Under 15th Finance Commission, 30% of the total grants to RLBs have been earmarked as tied grants for sanitation related activities. Accordingly, during 2021-22, tied grants allocation for sanitation was Rs.13470.30 crore and during 2022-23 it is Rs.13,953.90 crore. SBM (G) is a demand driven scheme. The allocation for SBM (G) during 2021-22 in Budget Estimates (BE) was Rs.9994.10 crore which was reduced to Rs.6000 crore at Revised Estimates (RE) stage considering the States demands. SBM (G) allocation in BE 2022-23 is Rs.7,192 crore which is about 20% higher than the allocation under RE 2021-22. For Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) [SBM(U)], the allocation in BE 2021-22 was Rs.2300 crore which was reduced to Rs.2000 crore at RE stage. SBM(U) allocation during 2022-23 is Rs.2300 crore which is 15% higher than the allocation under RE 2021-22.
Under SBM (G), as per the data reported by the States/UTs on the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), 10.93 crore IHHLs have so far been constructed in the country. State/UT-wise details of IHHLs constructed and the financial incentive (Central share) provided are given at Annexure-1. 1.95 lakh Community Sanitary Complexes (CSCs) have also been constructed under the programme. State/UT-wise details are given at Annexure-2. All the villages, gram panchayats, and districts in the country have already declared themselves ODF. 53,948 villages have been covered with Solid Waste Management and 28,603 villages have been covered with Liquid Waste Management. State/UT-wise details are given at Annexure-3.
Under SBM(U), 62.65 lakh IHHLs have been constructed so far. State/UT-wise details and the financial aid for the same are given at Annexure-4. 6.21 lakh Community & Public Toilets seats have also been constructed under the programme. State/UT-wise details are given at Annexure-5. For the Municipal Solid Waste Management, 100% door to door collection is being done in 87,095 wards out of total 89,650 wards and waste processing achieved is 72% of total waste generated. State/UT-wise details are given at Annexure-6.
This Information was given by the Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Shri Prahlad Singh Patel in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
