Infant mortality rate is a valuable indicator and it reflects a country's level of socioeconomic development and quality of life and is used for monitoring and evaluating population and health programmes and policies. It also affects the desired size of family. This study aims to find out the differentials and possible determinants of the infant mortality in Uttar Pradesh, India. By using the Sample Registration System data of the Government of India for the period of 1981 to 2008, time series analysis technique has been used to examine the levels and trends of infant mortality rate in Uttar Pradesh, India.
