Fertility represents occurrence of live births. Every aspect of human life is influenced by it. The analysis of fertility levels, trends and differentials is of great significance not only in the context of increasing gap between population growth and resources but also for efficient administration and sustainable development of all sections of the society. Fertility along with mortality and migration plays a significant role in population dynamics. The commonly used measures of fertility are crude birth rate (CBR), general fertility rates (GFR), age-specific fertility rates (ASFR), total fertility rate (TFR) and gross reproductive replacement (GRR). The objectives of the present paper are following: (i) to define commonly used measures of fertility; (ii) to describe fertility levels in India; (iii) to represent trends of fertility in India; and (iv) to explain fertility differentials in India with respect to major determinants of fertility.
