When author was appointed a Nuffield Fellow in Indian Demography he was given an opportunity to inquire into some aspect of India's population problems. And out of the many possible subjects in the field of formal demography, that of Infant Mortality in India was chosen because, first, no book had ever been written on the subject and, secondly, the matter deserved serious attention from the point of view of practical policy. The importance of the subject, particularly in an under-developed country which is embarking on major planned economic and social change, cannot be over-emphasized. Hence this demographic, economic, sociological and statistical survey of Infant Mortality in India during the last half a century.
