Was reading something on this for a college assignment and got curious about India specially. Does anyone know how common it actually is here, like the numbers? Just want to understand better.
If you are asking because of a situation close to you, please dont stress on numbers. Just make sure she sees a good gynac early, that matters way more than statistics.
It varies state to state honestly, some places much higher than others. The national family health survey has the real data if you want correct numbers. Mind asking, is it for a school assignment or personal reason?
I dont know the exact figure dear, but it has reduced compared to before, that much I have read. For real data the govt health survey is best to look at.
Exact number toh keeps changing every survey yaar, but in India it has come down a lot over the years. If you actually need the proper figure for some study or project, check the latest NFHS report, that's the most reliable one.
