Abstract: The level of infant and child mortality is a useful indicator of development in any societies. High rates of maternal mortality contribute to excess female mortality in the reproductive years, the mortality rate being more than 50 per cent higher for females than for males. Maternal mortality rates in India are among the highest in the world, and more than 50 times the average for industrialized countries. In this context the present study based on secondary data collected between 2001- 2018 in Sample Registration System (SRS) Bulletins. Female education, empowerment, attitude of health care workers and distance of health facilities to the people in most communities are factors to be addressed in reducing child morbidity and mortality rates and improving maternal health, thus achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5. To get this done, policy makers, health personal and community at large should join hands.
