In spite of reducing child mortality, deaths of infants in India on the first day of birth is still way too high and likely to hamper it from achieving the millennium development goal for curbing infant mortality rate (IMR) In 2012, as many as1.013 million babies died on the first day of birth in India, accounting for nearly 40 per cent of the total neo-natal deaths that year. Death in the first 28 days of life is considered an indicator of problems during pre-natal period and delivery.About0.75million neonates die every year in India, the highest for any country in the world. The neonatal mortality rate (NMR) declined from 52 per 1000 live births in 1990 to 28 per 1000 live births in 2013, but the rate of decline has been slow and lags behind that of infant and under-five child mortality rates. The slower decline has led to increasing contribution of neonatal mortality to infant and under-five mortality. Almost all states have witnessed this phenomenon, but there is still a huge disparity in NMR between and even within the states. The neonatal period—the first 28 days of life—carries the highest risk of mortality per day than any other period during the childhood. The daily risk of mortality in the first 4 weeks of life is ~30-fold higher than the post-neonatal period, that is, from1 month to 59 months of age. This has resulted in a slow decline in neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in most countries including India, and has hampered their achieving the Millennium Development Goal-4(MDG4)by year2015.This report provides an overview of the burden, trends and causes of neonatal mortality, burden of common morbidities, and coverage of key interventions in India. In this report there is deep study of trends of IMR in some developed and developing countries and then comparison with India IMR has been done
