Population, Health & Social Development in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West bengal
Foreword
Population Foundation of India(PFI),established in the year 1970,has now entered in to the 40th year of its
existence. Since its inception ,PFI has dedicated itself to the cause of human welfare through Family Planning,
Reproductive and Child Health(RCH) services and other population programmes within a wider canvas of
population stabilization and sustainable development.
PFI’s efforts in the 40th year, will be to undertake intensive advocacy efforts to promote rights-based and
gender-sensitive strategies to achieve population stabilization. A series of events and activities are being
organized across the country over a year to commemorate the 40th year. Three regional conferences planned
to be held across the year will throw up region specific priorities, issues and recommended strategies which
will be disseminated in a National Conference.
The first regional(Eastern) conference is held in Bhubaneswar, Orissa with the objectives of getting a
clear perspective on the demographic and health transition process in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West
Bengal, to draw attention to the reproductive health issues particularly among young people(10 – 24yrs)
and effective strategies to address them and to recapitulate initiatives by the State Governments and civil
society on population and health issues with a focus on youth. With these objectives in view , the document
“Population, Health and Social Development in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal”, has been prepared.
The document contains state and district profiles with data on population, health and social development
issues of the four states, and an analysis of demographic and health transition on way in this region.
This publication is an endeavour to help policy makers, planners, programme managers, NGOs,
academicians and researchers to use this information. We hope this publication will be useful in meeting
this intended purpose.

KEY NOTE
Demographic and Health Transition
in the States of Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa
and West Bengal
Dr Almas Ali*
Nihar Ranjan Mishra**
Introduction
The theory of demographic transition is usually presented in terms of three stages of demographic
evolution:
• First stage is high birth rate and high death rate (high balance)
•Second stage is high birth rate and low death rate (high rate of natural increase) and
•Third stage is low birth rate and low death rate (low balance).
The first stage of demographic evolution is when high birth rate and high fertility is accompanied by high
death rate. In the second stage, high birth rate and high fertility continues. However, few factors (like medical
breakthrough and advancement of health technology) lead to a steep fall in the mortality rate resulting
in a high natural growth. With the advancement of economic and material progress, education, women’s
empowerment and availability of contraceptives, birth rates start declining slowly at first and rapidly thereafter,
and soon a stage is reached (that is, the third stage) where birth and death rates are equal once again (low
balance). This cycle of change, which occurs in any population, is known as “demographic transition”.
In demographic parlance, India has gone through the first phase of demographic transition (high birth and death
rates) during the earlier part of the twentieth century. Starting with a population base of about 36 crores at the time
of Independence, the country is in the midst of demographic transition and is currently passing through the second
phase of demographic transition (high birth and declining /low death rates) which is expected to be completed by
the year 2030. While most developed countries underwent this phase before their population stabilized. India seems
to be taking little longer to achieve the transition. Fertility transition in India has been relatively slow and shows wide
inter state variation, while Kerala and Tamil Nadu achieved below replacement levels of fertility (TFR of 2.1) in 1998
and 2000 respectively. With the current trends states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan are
expected to achieve the same in the year 2027 (UP) 2025 (MP) and 2021 (both Bihar and Rajasthan).
India is a country of striking demographic diversity.As mentioned above India is in the midst of demographic
transition and different states are at different stages. Substantial differences are visible within states in
achievement of basic demographic indices.
Along with demographic transition health or epidemiological transition also occurs. Health or
epidemiological transition could be influenced by three factors. First this could be due to changes in
the age structure of the population consequent to demographic transition. Second, altered disease pattern
could be consequent to changes in resistance and exposure potentials to disease causing organisms or life
styles. Third, introduction of new health interventions (e.g. immunization), increased access to safe water and
improved socio economic status.

Like many other developing countries, India has a large burden contributed by diseases which predominate
in the pre-transition period, including communicable/ infectious disease, maternal and peri-natal disorders
and nutritional deficiencies.
The focus of the paper is on the four Eastern States of India namely-Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa
and West Bengal which constitutes around 12.75 percent of the total land area of the country and has 22.1
percent of it’s total population according to Census, 2001.The states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West
Bengal, located in the eastern region of the country are among the Empowered Action Group (EAG) states
(except perhaps West Bengal) of India and lag behind in social and health indicators. Paradoxically these are
the very states facing conflict situations which also have negative/ adverse impact on health indicators.
As per the projection made by RGI, 2006 West Bengal (achieved TFR of 2.1 in 2003) and Orissa (expected to achieve
TFR of 2.1 in near future).However, Jharkhand is yet to achieve TFR of 2.1 by the year 2018.The situation on the fertility
front for the state of Bihar is still grim and is expected to achieve replacement level of fertility only by the year 2021.In
other words the state of Bihar is far behind the other three eastern states in achieving fertility transition.

Population, Health & Social Development in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West bengal
Design of the paper
This paper is divided into four parts. The first section deals with the demographic transition in the states of
eastern region. The second section deals with heath transition in the same region. The third section is relatively
short one which highlights and identifies issues, concerns and challenges relating to demography and health
in this region. The last or the concluding section is also short and precise in which an attempt is made to chart
out a way forward, looking at the future needs of the states of the eastern region.
1. Demographic Transition in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal
States in India are experiencing the phenomenon of demographic transition, the routes of transition being
determined largely by local living conditions. Changes in the natural increase of population, has been brought
about primarily by decline in mortality rather than a big increase in fertility. The eastern state like West Bengal
is no exception to this process.
I. Population Dynamics
According to 2001 Census, India’s population was 1,028,436 (102.9 crores). Viewed globally, India
constitutes 16.9 percent of world’s total population and 2.4 percent of the global land area. Currently (2010)
India’s population is estimated at 117.6 crores.
(a) Population size and population density
As per the 2001 Census, the population of Bihar is 82 million, followed by West Bengal (80 million), Orissa
(36 million) and Jharkhand (26 million). As per the current (2010) projection the estimated population of
Bihar is 96 million, West Bengal is 88 million, Orissa 40 million and Jharkhand is 31 million. The density
of population was 881 per sq. km for Bihar, 338 per sq. km 338 in Jharkhand, 236 per sq km in Orissa,
903 per sq. km in West Bengal. The highest population density was for the state of Bihar followed by West
Bengal, Jharkhand and lowest being Orissa.

(b) Decadal growth rate and average Annual Exponential Growth rate
The highest decline in decadal growth rate was in West Bengal i.e., 5.4 percent points , followed by
Orissa (3.9 percent points).In contrast Bihar has registered an increase of 4.5 percent points in the dec-
adal growth rate during the last decade (1991-2001).The other two major states registered increase are
Haryana (1.02 percent points) and a slight increase in Uttar Pradesh (0.24 percent points).As in case of
decadal growth rate, similar trend was observed in the case of average annual exponential growth rate
in Bihar, The average annual exponential growth rate rose from 2.11(1981-91) to 2.51(1991-2001).In
the states of Orissa and West Bengal a declining trend was observed for the average annual exponential
growth rate.

(c) Age structure
With change in population size there is shift in age structure. With decline in fertility there is a decline in
young age population and the elderly population not rising commensurately to offset this fall, it is often
said that the countries enjoy ‘Demographic Bonus’ during the course of demographic transition. Out of
these four eastern states Bihar and Jharkhand is the only exception to this effect.

Analyzing the age structure of the population in these four states it was observed that population (0-6
years) constitutes the highest proportion (20.2 percent) of the state’s total population for Bihar. In case of
Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal the corresponding figures are 18.4, 14.6 and 14.2 percent respectively.
The population in the age group of (0-6 years) is a proxy indicator for fertility. Concentration of population in
this age group implies that the fertility transition in Bihar is much slower than the other three states. Because
of fertility decline the states of West Bengal and Orissa already started experiencing the phenomenon of
population ageing. There is substantial increase in the elderly Population (60 and more years) in these two
states.

(d) Sex Ratio
There is an improvement in overall sex ratio (i.e. number of females per thousand males) from 927 in 1991
to 933 in Census 2001 at the national level. The figures of sex ratio for 1991 and 2001 for the states of
Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal have been furnished below:

It is seen from the above table that the highest increase was observed in the state of Jharkhand (19) fol-
lowed by West Bengal (17) and Bihar (12). There is only a marginal improvement in case in Orissa.
(d) i. Child Sex Ratio (CSR)
As mentioned above, while there is a marginal improvement in overall sex ratio, what is most alarming
is the decline of Child Sex Ratio (CSR) that is, the sex ratio of children in the age group of 0 -6 years. The
Child Sex Ratio (girls per 1000 boys) shows a negative trend and causes serious concern not only among
demographers, but also among policy makers and planners. Census 2001 showed a decline of 18 points
from 945 in 1991 to 927.

The above table shows that among the four eastern states, the highest decline was found both in the
states of Orissa (14 points) and Jharkhand (14 points) and lowest decline was in West Bengal (7 points)
(d) ii. Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB)
The Sample Registration System (SRS) provides data on sex ratio at birth for the bigger states of India
since 1998.The above figure portrays the sex ratio at birth for Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and India by three
year moving average. From the above figure it was observed that, in all the three eastern states except
Jharkhand (data is not available) are having the sex ratio at birth more than the national figure. In between
2001-2003 barring Orissa, the sex ratio at birth declined in Bihar and West Bengal. In all the three states
the sex ratio at birth showed an increasing trend in between 2004-06.In between 2005-07, the sex ratio
at birth recorded a fall in Orissa, where as in Bihar and West Bengal, it increased.

II. Fertility Transition:
Before the Sample Registration System (SRS) was introduced by the Registrar General, India information on
fertility levels and trends consisted mainly of indirect estimates prepared by various demographers using age
and sex distribution from the census data. Since 1971, SRS has been providing for estimating fertility measures
and is considered to be most accurate and reliable. The fertility indicators used for analysis are: Crude Birth Rate
(CBR), General Fertility Rate (GFR), Age Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) and Total Fertility Rate (TFR).

CBR at all India level declined from 36.9 in 1971 to 22.8 in 2008.In all the four eastern states the CBR
declined in between 1971 and 2008.The difference in CBR was found to be highest (15.7) in case of West
Bengal, followed by Orissa (11.7) and Bihar recorded the least decline (10.2) among these four states, which
is lower than the all India level (11.1).Barring Bihar, in case of the other three eastern states the decline is
higher than the all India level. As per SRS, 2007 the GFR for India is 89.5 .The corresponding figures for Bihar,
Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal are 128.9, 106.4, 79.7 and 66.3 respectively.
Figure-3: Crude Birth Rate (CBR) in Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal
(a) Age Pattern of Fertility:
The age pattern of childbearing in these states has undergone a change during twentieth century, with fer-
tility limitations being increasingly common at relatively old ages. Though fall in fertility has been observed
among women in all ages between 1981 and 2006. As per SRS,2007 in these four eastern states, the
contribution to fertility decline has mostly from women in the age group (20-24 years) as well as (25-29

years).In case of Bihar and Jharkhand the contribution is much more in the late reproductive years (40-44
years) and (45-49 years). Overall, during the past 13 years, since NFHS-1(1992-93), there has been contin-
uous fertility decline among the five states (Punjab, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, and Orissa). Out
of these four eastern states, barring Bihar and Jharkhand, there is a continuous fertility decline in Orissa
and West Bengal in between three consecutive National Family Health Surveys. The trend in between three
successive National Family Health Surveys suggests a clear slowdown in fertility decline in the seven years
between NFHS-2 and NFHS-3 compared with earlier period between NFHS-1 and NFHS-2. This slowdown
in fertility decline is mainly due to plateauing of fertility in rural areas. Three Successive rounds of National
Family Health Survey (NFHS), recording a rapid fall in fertility in Orissa and West Bengal during the nineties
and early twentieth century. The fall in fertility in West Bengal during the 1990s , higher than the national
decline, also document lesser contribution by younger women (15-29) than by older women(30-44) to
overall decline in fertility. Both SRS and NFHS report almost no childbearing among women in age group
45-49 in West Bengal. West Bengal and Orissa have reached the replacement level of fertility, i e, around
two children per woman. The urban areas of these two states already reached below replace­ment level
of fertility.

The age specific fertility rate (ASFR), for the four states shows that the greatest fall in fertility occurred
after 20 years of age. This may be because of fertility regulation with in marriage through the adoption of
contraception.
(b) Levels and Trends:
Fertility has been consistently declining in these four eastern states as indicated by trends in total fertility
rate (TFR) since the beginning of the 1970s for the major Indian states. Though the Southern states are
ahead in fertility transition and have total fertility rates lower than the eastern counterparts, West Bengal
is an example that blurs this east-south divide. The pace of fertility decline is very fast in West Bengal as
compared to the other states like Orissa, Bihar and Jharkhand. The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) remains a
concern for the state of Bihar and Jharkhand among these four eastern states. Substantial fertility decline
in West Bengal and Orissa despite some of the key social indicators such as gender inequality, socio-eco-
nomic backwardness and relatively higher infant mortality rate is mainly due to the effective implementa-
tion of the family welfare programme, female literacy, health care delivery and economic prosperity of the
households. The rural-urban fertility differential shows that in the two states of West Bengal and Orissa,
the urban fertility declined too much and it attained below replacement level fertility resulting further
decline in fertility. In West Bengal and Orissa the urban fertility reached near replacement level, but the
fertility in rural areas still above replacement level (NFHS-3, 2005-06).

(c) Replacement Level Fertility:
With the advent of fertility decline in the Eastern states, it is an opportune moment to look around the
replacement level fertility in these states. Since achievement of replacement-level fertility is crucial for the
long-term objective of ‘Stable population’ by 2045 in India and the medium term objective of reducing
the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) to replacement level by 2010, as laid down in the National Population Policy
2000(NPP), it is the need of the hour to examine the position of these four states in relation to the national
target of fertility decline. As per the RGI projections West Bengal (2000) and Orissa (2010) reached the
replacement level of fertility. Bihar and Jharkhand both yet to achieve replacement level fertility. As per the
projection Bihar will achieve the same by the year 2021 and Jharkhand will achieve the same by the year
2018.While the country as a whole will achieve the replacement level fertility also by 2015.In this regard
there is a need to examine the rural-urban differential in fertility for Bihar and Jharkhand. As majority of
the population still lives in rural set up, the prospects of population stabilization in near future depends
on the success of the efforts in rural areas. In all these four eastern states there is a decline in percentage
share of unwanted fertility rate to total fertility rate in between the two successive National Family Health
Surveys. Still in these states more than 25 percent of fertility are unwanted which can have averted to have
an impact on the Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

Till the large unmet needs for health and family welfare services are met, proposing any punitive measures
is clearly irrational. The two child norm policy is seen as being implemented in an environment where
women and the marginalized do not have adequate access to health care and is in fact an infringement of
reproductive rights because it tends to penalise women who anyway have little control over reproductive
decision making.
Given the crucial importance of population momentum (which in a way assures further population
growth in near future), no matter what we introduce – “two child norm” or even a “one child norm” to
pressurize people to go for less than two children / one child may simply be barking up the wrong tree.
This may be neither relevant nor particularly effective in bringing down the absolute number or the size of
population.

(d) Proximate Determinants of Fertility:
The important among the proximate variables which can be relatively easily measured in surveys are
marriage, use of contraception, breastfeeding and use of abortion. Various policy interventions have at-
tempted to influence these factors. The minimum legal age for marriage in women is 18 years in India.
India’s family planning programme that was launched in the early 1950s has made contraceptive methods
widely and freely available through health facilities. Data available from the two National Family Health
Surveys conducted in the 1990s enable to estimate the contribution of these variables in the overall total
fertility and although the interval between the two surveys was only a little over six years, the changes in
the share of each of the variables over this period is also captured (Visaria,1999).
Marriage:
Higher age at marriage and large proportion of women remaining single have some effect on depressing
fertility compared to low age at marriage and marriage being universal for women. Other things being equal,
this would imply that women in Bihar and Jharkhand stay in marriage for longer period since they enter
marriage early and thereby are exposed to greater risk of pregnancy resulting in high fertility compared to
women in West Bengal and Orissa. This is very much reflected in the total fertility of these states as Bihar
and Jharkhand is yet to achieve replacement level of fertility where as West Bengal and Orissa have already
achieved the same. Among the four eastern states, the female median age at marriage is found to be highest
in Orissa (17.6 years) and lowest in Bihar (14.7 years). For males, the median age at marriage is found to be
highest in West Bengal (24.1 years) and lowest in Bihar (20.1 years).

Post-Partum Amenorrhoea:
In India breastfeeding is prolonged (around 25 months) and the estimated duration of breastfeeding
does not vary much. Longer duration of breastfeeding extends the period of postpartum amenorrhea thereby
increasing the inter-birth interval.
Abortion:
Induced abortion has been legal in India since 1972.But no reliable estimates of the number of abortions
exist, in part because many women attend private clinics for this service. The incidence of induced abortion
reported in demographic surveys is under reported. According to NFHS and other survey data only 1 or 2
percent of all pregnancies end in an induced abortion. But, some micro level studies suggest that the figure in
some parts of the country may be as high as 9 to 14 percent (Ganatra et al. 2001). It is likely that the current
incidence of abortion is high and on the increase, especially in the South, but data deficiencies mean that it is
difficult to assess the influence of induced abortion on fertility trends.
Contraception:
The fertility transition has been achieved overwhelmingly through increase in the use of modern
contraceptive methods, primarily female sterilization in these four states. The Contraceptive Prevalence
Rate (CPR) in these four states ranged in between 71 percent in West Bengal and low of 34 percent in
Bihar as per the NFHS-3(2005-06).The unmet need for contraception has declined in these four states,
but in case of Bihar the decline is minimal in between the last two National Family Health Surveys
(22.8 to 24.5).Among these four states, the use of modern contraceptives is lower than the national
average(48.5) for Bihar(28.9) and Jharkhand(31.1).Though, the use of contraception is higher in west
Bengal a major(21.3 percent) is from the traditional methods. Data from successive rounds of NFHS
shows, there is a consistent increase in the contraceptive prevalence rate in all the four eastern states.
The NFHS-3 data shows that out of the four eastern states, the use of contraception among youth(15-24
years) is found to be highest in West Bengal(54 percent) followed by Orissa(19 percent),Jharkhand(15
percent) and Bihar is having the lowest(13 percent).

Out of the four eastern states, barring West Bengal, the unmet need for contraception is higher than the
national average in the remaining three states. Jharkhand (23.1) is having the highest unmet need followed
by Bihar (22.8). In order to achieve replacement level fertility the unmet need for contraception is to be met.
Which will have substantial impact on reducing the un- wanted fertility in Bihar and Jharkhand. The unmet
need for limiting methods is higher than the spacing methods in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa as well as for India.
In two states (Bihar and Jharkhand) there is large unmet need both for spacing and limiting methods. In Bihar,
there is more demand for limiting methods, where as Jharkhand there is more demand for spacing methods.
The goal of attaining replacement level of fertility in Bihar and Jharkhand will largely depend on meeting the
unmet needs of contraception. The unmet need is consistently declining across these four eastern states as well
as for the country, which is clearly visible from the three rounds of National Family Health Survey. The states like
Bihar (31 percent) and Jharkhand (33 percent) are having more unmet need for contraception among youth
than West Bengal (15 percent) and Orissa (28 percent).

The age at which women start childbearing is an important demographic determinant of fertility. A higher
median age at first birth is an indicator of lower fertility. The table shows the median age at first birth for
the four Eastern states and India. There is a consistent increase in median age at first birth for Orissa and
Jharkhand in between NFHS-2 and 3. There is also rural-urban differential in median age at first birth. The
urban areas recorded higher median age at first birth than the rural areas.
As a result of socio-economic development and family planning interventions, the country recorded a
significant decline in fertility, fairly widespread across the different regions in the post-independence era. Yet
regional variations have played a significant role in the onset and speed of fertility transition in the country.
The states in the Eastern region such as Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal has undergone through
substantial transformation in its fertility trend.
III. Mortality transition:
Among the components of population change, mortality has historically played an important role in
determining the growth of population. During the first and second stage of demographic transition, it is
mortality, which starts declining first, initially slowly and then rapidly, contributing to a gradually rising rate
of population growth as fertility decline generally starts with a time lag. Reduction in overall mortality is an
important objective of planning since the first five-year plan.
The National Population Policy 2000 (NPP, 2000), National Health Policy 2002 (NHP, 2002), RCH-2 (2005)
and National Rural Health Mission (NRHM, 2005) have simultaneously reinforced the need of reduction in
mortality particularly maternal and infant (including neonatal) mortality.
a. Crude Death Rate (CDR):
In the last thirty five years, the CDR at all India level declined from 14.9 in 1971 to 5.9 in 2007, i.e., 9.0
points decline during the period 1971-2007.Similarly, CDR for Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal declined
from 13.9, 13.1, 11.0 in 1981 to 6.0,9.0 and 6.2 in 2007. As seen from the table that the declining trend
in CDR has been fairly steady in three states (Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal

The SRS based abridged life tables provides the Life Expectancy at Birth (LEB) for the bigger states in India.
The above figure shows the LEB for the states; Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and for the country as a whole. For
the states like Bihar and West Bengal, the data was available from 1981 onwards. It can be inferred from the
above figure that, Bihar and Orissa are having LEB below than the national figure. The state of West Bengal is
having higher values than the national figure. West Bengal is having higher LEB followed by Bihar and Orissa.
In between 1986-90, all the three states showed an increasing trend. The increase was found to be highest
in Bihar.
b Infant Mortality Rate (IMR):
Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is considered to be one of the most sensitive indicators of health and develop-
ment, the table below presents the data for IMR for Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal and India
for the period 1971-2008.

As seen from the table during the decade 1971-81 IMR has increased from 127 to 135 in Orissa, and
declined from 129-110 at the National Level. However during the decade 1981-91 Bihar, Orissa and West
Bengal showed a dramatic decline in IMR .In short IMR at all India level during the period 1971-2008 declined
from 129 to 53. Similarly, the decline in Orissa was from 127 to 69.
Figure 8: Trends in Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal
In early 1970s except the state of Orissa a declining trend in IMR was observed for the country. This decline
may be attributed to advancements made in the field of medicine, improvements in public health, availability
of immunization services and the general improvement in the living conditions. The pace of decine somewhat
slowed during late seventies in Orissa. Again the decline picked momentum in the eighties. The pace of mor-
tality decline is very fast in West Bengal as compared to the other three states. In case of the other three states
the pace mortality decline stagnated in early seventies, eighties and mid nineties as there was no reduction in
mortality trends. As there was also an increase in neo-natal mortality during these periods.
c. Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR)
Maternal Mortality Ratio is defined as the number of maternal deaths (during pregnancy, child birth and
puerperal period) per 100,000 lakh life births. As per the latest estimates of maternal mortality ratio by
RGI, 2004- MMR for India stands at 254 per one lakh life births. The MMR figures for Bihar (including
Jharkhand) is 312, Orissa is 303 and West Bengal is141, the lowest among all the four eastern states.

d. Nutritional Status:
Malnutrition still continues to be one of the most leading problems in the states of this region and its
manifestations and consequences are diverse and alarming. The level of malnutrition in this region is also
quite high.
The table below presents data on the nutritional status of children in the four eastern states of Bihar,
Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal and India. The proportion of children who are stunted increased steadily
in between NFHS-2 to NFHS-3, where as proportion of underweight children increased in Bihar from 54.4
percent to 55.9 percent.

2. Health Transition in the Eastern States of India
Morbidity is an important indicator of the health status and quality of life. However, in India, one knows
very little about the actual and total morbidity load, in the local community and at the national level. In the
absence of appropriate national level epidemiological studies, there are two major sources of information
on the morbidity load; first, household studies and sample surveys which give information on the reported
morbidity; second incidence reporting under disease control programmes and hospital statistics. Obviously
both of them have serious limitation in informing us about the actual and total morbidity load.
There are two ongoing schemes for monitoring causes of death: survey of cause of death (SCD), which
provides information on ten broad categories of causes based on lay reporting in rural areas, and physician-
certified medical certification of cause of death (MCCD) in larger hospitals using the ICD-9 protocol. Started
in 1960 as the Model Registration System and renamed in 1982, the SCD aimed to collect data on cause
of death from 2500 selected primary health centres (PHCs), covering 4 PHCs per million rural population.
However, by 1994, only 1731 units were reporting causes of death under the SCD.
In 1998, the Registrar General of India suspended this scheme. A new verbal autopsy scheme based on
the SRS has been piloted from 1999.
Survey of “Causes of Death” had been merged with the Sample Registration System (SRS) from 1999, thus
encompassing both rural and urban areas. Since then, a system of Verbal Autopsy under the domain of SRS
has been in operation. In order to effect improvement in the system, the Office of the Registrar General, India
(ORGI) in collaboration with the Centre of Global Health Research (CGHR), University of Toronto has been
trying to establish a reliable system to measure the causes of death in the country.
The Special Survey of Deaths (SSD), undertaken in 2001-2003, has been carried out under the domain of
Sample Registration System (SRS), which covered over 6,645 small areas (sample units) in all the States and
Union Territories. The causes of death have been determined using an advanced form of Verbal Autopsy called
the “RHIME” or Representative, Re-sampled, Routine method. The SRS field staff that have been Evaluation
extensively for collection of the symptoms, signs and key circumstances leading to death using a two-page
structured from with a brief narrative in local language, have undertaken the survey. A random sample of
about 5-10% of the units have been resurveyed by an independent team to ensure the quality of field
work, completeness and accuracy. The assignment of causes of death has been done through a medical
evaluation by two independent trained physicians who have examined the field report using a web based

Latest available Report on “Causes of Death in India 2001 and 2003” gives top 10 causes of death
region wise. The regions are divided into 6 categories viz: North, North East, East, Central, West and South.
Fortunately enough, the East region also comprises of the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal
which are similar to our focus states for the regional conference.
The table below (table-18) furnishes Top 10 causes of death (all ages as %) for the East region (i.e Bihar,
Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal)

As observed from the above table;
•The highest proportion of deaths due to diarrhoeal diseases is observed in Eastern Region (10.4%)
•There is significantly higher proportion of all death due to communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutri-
tional condition in this region.
•Rural areas of this region report more deaths due to the above mentioned conditions (i.e communicable,
maternal, peri natal and nutritional condition).
• Perinatal conditions are responsible for 7% of deaths in the Eastern Region.
•The proportion of death attributable to tuberculosis in eastern region is 5.4 percent.
•In the eastern region deaths due to malaria are notably higher at 6% of deaths due to all causes.
No doubt the leading cause of death in this region is Cardiovascular diseases (18.3%), followed by
diarrhoeal diseases, Respiratory diseases, (namely Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD), Peri-natal
conditions (7.1) Respiratory Infections (6.6%) like acute pneumonia, tuberculosis (5.4%).
The above table also provides information breakup by sex. Notable differences by gender are not seen
except for diarrhoeal diseases with 12% of female deaths against 9% of male deaths.
Despite a projected decline in the overall burden, infectious and parasitic disorders will continue to
predominate the disease burden in the Eastern Region for the next 20-25 years.
National Family Health Survey (NFHS)
The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3,2005-06) also provides morbidity pattern for Tuberculosis and
other life style morbidities like diabetes, asthma etc. In addition to this it also gives substance use such as
smoking bidi/cigarettes, chewing tobacco/gutkha and drinking of alcohol etc.

The above table provides health problems such as Diabetes, Asthma and Goitre or other Thyroid problems
for the four eastern states and for the country. The data available from NFHS-3 is being presented by sex. In case
of all the three health related disorders, West Bengal is having the highest figure among all the four eastern
states for women and men. The figure is also higher than the national figure. In all the four states as well as for
the country, Goitre or other Thyroid disorder is found to be more prevalent among women than men.

is more in case of men than women. For men, West Bengal is having the higher percentage (70.2 percent) for
tobacco consumption and smoking of cigarettes/ bidis (50.1 percent).These figures are substantially higher
than the national value. Interestingly, in case of Orissa, the consumption of alcohol among men is found to be
highest (39.6 percent), followed by Jharkhand (38.9 percent) and Bihar (34.9 percent). In all the four states
for men, the consumption of alcohol, is found to be more than the national average.
For women, the tobacco consumption is found to be highest (31.4 percent) in Orissa followed by West
Bengal (15.6 percent).Except Bihar, all the other three states are having figure above than the national
average. Interestingly, smoking of cigarettes is higher (4.9 percent) in case of Bihar, followed by West Bengal
(1.3 percent).Orissa is having the lowest figure(0.3 percent).Only Bihar is having the value above than the
national average out of the four eastern states. Alcohol consumption among women is found to be highest in
Jharkhand followed by Orissa. These two states are having value more than the national average.

Out of the above morbidities, malaria contributes significantly to the total morbidity in eastern region. The
number of malaria cases is high in Orissa and low in Bihar. In the tribal areas of eastern region problem of
genetic diseases like sickle cell disease (both sickle-cell trait (HbAS) and sickle-cell anaemia (HbSS), Glucose-
6-Phospate De-Hydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency and other Haemoglobinopathies are prevalent. In the tribal
regions these disorders are being aggravated by high level of inbreeding particularly in some of the primitive
tribes of this region due to customary consanguinity. This is based on findings reported by various researchers
and reputed research organizations like Regional Medical Research Centre (RMRC), Bhubaneswar and also on
author’s own earlier field work experience in tribal areas of this region (Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal)
spanning over three decades. Interestingly enough the tribal areas of this region particularly Orissa and
Jharkhand happen to be the areas of mining operations and having adverse health impact on the habitat of
tribal population. In this region, environmental pollution, the problem of flourosis is also prevalent in some
parts of Orissa. Similarly, the state of West Bengal is facing the problem of arsenic contamination, which is a
matter of great concern.
An estimated 2.31 million people in India are living with HIV(Annual Sentinel surveillance, NACO,2007).
Although the proportion of people living with HIV is lower than previously estimated, India’s epidemic continues
to affect large number of people and continues to be concentrated among high risk and vulnerable segments
of the population groups. In six high prevalence states (Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu,
Manipur and Nagaland) almost two third of the total HIV burden is concentrated. The epidemic shows a rising
trend in low prevalence states such as Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal. As a whole, with an estimated prevalence
of 0.34 percent, HIV/AIDS is one of the most serious health challenges, the country is facing today.
Integration/convergence of HIV/AIDS and Sexual & Reproductive Health (SRH) is an area of concern. An
assessment on the options and challenges for integrating HIV and SRH was conducted by PATH in 2006-07.
The assessment findings highlighted key gaps between policies and programme practice.
3 Issues, concerns and challenges: Demographic and Health
All the states of the eastern region namely Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal (to some extent)
are experiencing the classical health problems of under development and social deprivation viz: nutritional
deficiencies and communicable diseases. The problems in these states are not necessarily and primarily one
of specific diseases calling for specific interventions along vertical lines, but a broad horizontal problem of
poverty, under development and social deprivation. Therefore diseases and health in the states of this region
should be looked at in the context of social needs and related to health and social inequalities. We have not
dealt deliberately on the strategies to address the state specific demographic and health challenges as these
topics will be discussed in detail in separate state specific key notes to be delivered..
The health and population scenario in these states of the eastern region, while presenting daunting
challenges, also opens up windows of opportunities, The overarching challenge faced by the states of this
| 25

4.5 Page 35

Population Foundation of India
region is to improve the health and nutrition status of the poor, especially women, To attend these goals
there is an urgent need to focus attention systematically addressing the issue of access quality and financing.
Providing basic human needs and entailments – food shelter and safe water is also a major challenge. One
of the important challenge facing health sector reforms today is to approach the health delivery system
from below (decentralized/bottom up planning) and explore how services can reach the needy – there by
integrating gender and social equity issues into health sector reforms of the state in the eastern region. In fact
ensuring equity in health still remains the biggest challenge in this region.
Demographic Challenges
Fortunately enough in these four states excepting Bihar and perhaps to some extent Jharkhand, the other
two states (West Bengal and Orissa) are in relatively better of in the areas of fertility reduction. West Bengal
has already reached the TFR of 2.1 in the year 2003 and Orissa will be reaching soon.
One of the major challenges for the states of Bihar and Jharkhand is in the population front and fertility reduction.
Which will help them to achieve population stabilization in the forseable future. The issue of population stabilization
needs a gender-balanced and rights-based approach rather than a top-down authoritarian approach.
Strategies for achieving population stabilization should include impairing socio economic indicators such
as addressing the needs of maternal care, child health and contraceptive services, education of girls, ensuring
a minimum age at marriage of girls, reducing infant mortality and maternal mortality through better health
care and immunization, nutrition support to women and children.
A multipronged approach is required for population stabilization such as – strong campaign for delaying
age at marriage after 18 years, in delaying age at first pregnancy, in ensuring institutional delivery and meeting
the unmet demand for contraception.
Till the large unmet needs for health and family welfare services are met, proposing any punitive measures
is clearly irrational. The two child norm policy is seen as being implemented in an environment where
women and the marginalized do not have adequate access to health care and is in fact an infringement of
reproductive rights because it tends to penalise women who anyway have little control over reproductive
decision making.
What is not clearly required are counter productive punitive measures. Also given the age structure of the
population in these states (Bihar & Jharkhand) there is an inbuilt momentum which coercive measures can
do nothing.
Population Foundation of India (PFI) and Population Reference Bureau (PRB) projected the population of all
the states and UTs till the year 2101.The table below, shows the projected figure for all the four eastern states
and for the country. The two scenario’s differ from each other in terms of assumption of Total Fertility Rate
(TFR). In Scenario A, the ultimate fertility level is 2.1 children and, in Scenario B, 1.85 children. Under Scenario-
A, Bihar will stabilize with a TFR of 2.1 in between 2081-86 and under scenario-B, it will be in 2061-66.
The Eastern region is at a stage of demographic transition and is indeed in the midst of a process where
it faces the window of opportunity created by the demographic dividend. During the first three decades of
post independence (i.e 1951-1981) development while mortality rates fell significantly the fertility rate remain
more or less stagnant and this increased the population of young people (10-24 years) significantly. Therefore,
in this region investing in young people equitably in their education, nutrition, skill, employment, and health
assumes urgency and importance. Clearly a failure to do so will have long term repercussion on individual
lives, security, demography, health systems, economy and development of this conflict ridden/affected region
of Eastern India. According to NFHS-3, there exists gender differential with respect to employment and
mass media exposure among youth in these eastern states. Out of the four states, the percentage of youth
population is highest in Orissa and West Bengal (18.3 percent) followed by Jharkhand (17.3 percent) and
26 |

4.6 Page 36

Population, Health & Social Development in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West bengal
Bihar (16.3 percent). All these states are having proportion of youth population below the national average
(18.5 percent).
Out of the 1029 million people in India, 286 million are now living in urban settlements. The net addition
to the urban population during 1991-2001 has been of 67 million people. The urban proportion to total
population in the country now stands at 27.8 percent compared to 25.7 percent in 1991.The urban population
of the Indian republic of 25.9 million in 1901-just 10.8 percent of the total population-has increased
monotonically over time to 286.1 million in 2001 accounting for 27.8 percent of the country’s population
India is witnessing rapid urbanization with an estimated about 300 million people living in towns and cities.
The urban population, which was 28 per cent in 2001, is expected to increase to 38 per cent by 2026.The
increase in urbanization; in other way is having an incremental effect on slum population. In India, about 100
million people are living in slums or slum like conditions characterized by overcrowding, poor hygiene and
sanitation etc. It is therefore, the health of the urban poor is poorer than the rural population. The eastern
states in India are no exception to this phenomenon. Due to the above the health of the urban poor is a matter
of concern and needs urgent attention.
Health Challenges
National Rural Health Mission ( NRHM) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, (MOHFW),
Government of India has recently (2008) brought out a document entitled “India Guaranteeing Quality
Primary Health Care for All: An Agenda for Action”. In this book, key public health challenges have been
identified state wise and have been furnished in a tabular form.

Concern
The health problems in the eastern region show a complex Epidemiology. In one hand, Orissa is
experiencing the problems of poverty, social deprivation, and under nutrition and on the other, new diseases
related to behavior and life style (non communicable diseases (like cardio vascular diseases, hypertension,
chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes and cancer etc.) are in the rise. Thus, presently, there is a double burden
of diseases.
Though, there is no doubt, a double burden of diseases, but an area of concern is a tendency to highlight
the growing burden of non-communicable diseases and reducing the focus on communicable diseases from
a very significant part of morbidity and mortality burden of existing health system in the eastern region i.e.,
Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal. Incidentally, the high incidence of communicable diseases including
infectious diseases ((a)Water-borne-Diarrhoea and Hepatitis, (b)Air-borne-Pneumonia, Measles and TB, (c)
Vector-borne-Malaria, Kala-azar, Japanese encephalitis and Dengue) in this region is due to poverty and
malnutrition and other environmental factors such as poor sanitation and lack of safe drinking water.
Programmes focused on this category of disease i.e. communicable disease are relatively in-expensive and
offer a significant scope for rapid reduction of morbidity and mortality burden in this region. Unfortunately enough,
there has been an undesirable shift of attention away from communicable disease burden. This is in fact a matter
of grave concern; therefore, there is an urgent need for proactive and sustained advocacy effort against this.
4. Conclusion and the Way Forward
To sum up, in this region, the state of Orissa (69) has one of the highest Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)
according to the latest Sample Registration System (SRS), 2008. Bihar (56) is having little more than the
national average (53). However, the states of West Bengal (35) and Jharkhand (46) perform relatively better.
Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in this region is also relatively high. All the states of this region excepting
West Bengal (141) are in the higher side than the national average (254).
In this region there is a need to focus on reducing IMR and MMR. The challenge of reducing infant mortality
particularly during the neo-natal period also depends strongly on public action to assure that a range of good
quality basic health care services made available equitably. Reducing maternal mortality requires that a continuum
of services be available to address risk factors and complications. Verbal autopsy audit of all such deaths would
help us to understand the leading causes of such events for taking necessary action. The participation of various
community based organizations, NGOs, PRIs and local experts should be encouraged during the audit.
The slow pace of health sector reforms in the eastern states (except perhaps – West Bengal) poses a major
challenge. Also poverty, social justice and gender issues have not been brought to centre stage in health sector
reforms. Linking health programmes to poverty alleviation is critical in the context of the states of this region
because the burden of health services falls disproportionately on the poor. Poverty remains one of the main
reasons for untreated illness, thereby resulting in a sharp increase in morbidity. This burden is compounded
further in a situation of unequal gender relations on the one hand and unequal social status on the other.
In reality, the health delivery system as it exists today is based on loosely integrated vertical programmes
of reproductive and child health, control of communicable diseases, and a stand alone HIV / AIDS prevention
/ control programme. However, now that the National Rural Health Mission is in place, one can take the
opportunity of this programme platform.
The NRHM appears to have brought back the Primacy of Primary Health Care as advocated in the ‘ Health
for All’ -Alma Ata declaration in 1978 with its emphasis on equity and strong people’s participation addressing
the underlying social, economic and political causes of poor health. People say that primary health care was
tried and failed. In fact, in our country it has never been tried in its true spirit, in the comprehensive form as
advocated at the Alma Ata.

Population, Health & Social Development in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West bengal
The goal and objectives of NRHM in the framework for implementation clearly states in the intent to work
on nutrition, water, sanitation and gender issues as health determinants. In fact “Communitisation” is the
hallmark of NHRM. This component of the mission includes the training of ASHAs, VHSCs, which works closely
with PRI members, village health planning, community monitoring possibly of inter-sectoral co-ordination
with Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and untied funds and offers concrete ways by which the
strategy to improve nutritional status can be introduced.
Available research indicates that a broad based policy approach is the best avenue for readdressing health
disparities in less developed countries (Dara Carr, 2004).
Therefore to accelerate Health Transition the Sate Governments of Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and West
Bengal can optimally use their existing resources (both financial and human) to produce good health. The
issues to be focused are the following:
•Livelihood, Nutrition and Housing
•Education and Empowerment of Women
•Safe Water & Sanitation
•Investment to improve Access to Effective Primary Health Care
The issue of population stabilization in the states of Bihar and Jharkhand should be tackled in a holistic
manner by utilizing the existing platform of NRHM because family planning programmes can not be addressed
in isolation and has to be positioned under the broader context of comprehensive primary health care and
therefore there is an opportunity to be used as a part and parcel of the flagship programme. Population
stabilization is not merely about numbers; it has to be looked at in the context of wider socio - economic
development.
As mentioned earlier, NRHM provides a platform for :
• Fostering inter-sectoral co-ordination.
•Decentralized planning and implementation.
•Strengthening of Primary Health Care.
•Involving communities in monitoring services and convergence at the village level.
Primary Health Care (PHC) is the backbone of the NRHM. PHC is not something to be “delivered” by a
benign Government alone. The community has to play a major and a vital role in ensuring a successful health
care system. The community can ensure accountability and efficacy and outreach of the health care system.
This unique opportunity has to be meaningfully utilized by the civil society provided by the Mission and
