SRS now covers entire countryo Finding of recent SRS (2013)i) Crude Birth Rate (CBR): 21[?]6 per 1000 mid-year population.ii) Crude Death Rate (CDR): 7[?]0 per 1000 mid-year population.iii) Natural Growth Rate : 14[?]5 per 1000 mid-year population.iv) Infant Mortality Rate (IMR): 42 per 1000 live births.
