This reflects the various socio-cultural biases operating in the care and nurturance of girls' right from infancy.

Gender differentials in mortality are similar wider in this region and are evident right from the post neonatal stage onwards. So far researchers have focused research on infant mortality and gender differentials in mortality at the national and state levels, but, very little research work has been done in this field at district level particularly in Uttar Pradesh.

This book will help to identify the factors related to slow decline in IMR and sex discrimination in IMR.The collection of District-wise secondary data on a large number of related variable and its detailed statistical analysis will help in identifying the legging district where special policy interventions are needed.
