India has demonstrated a commitment to improving the sexual and reproductive health of its population. Its policy and program environment has moved from a narrow focus on family planning to a broader focus emphasizing sexual and reproductive health and the exercise of rights. Great progress has been made. The total fertility rate is 2.2 (2015-2016), reaching substitution levels in 18 of her 29 states. The country's age structure is well positioned to enjoy the demographic dividend. Maternal, neonatal and perinatal mortality rates have declined, child marriage has declined sharply, contraceptive use and skilled labor care during childbirth have increased, and estimates of HIV prevalence are higher than the situation before. suggesting that it is not as dire as had been assumed. But there is still a long way to go. Despite impressive improvements, pregnancy-related outcomes remain unacceptably high in terms of both maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. Many women do not have access to care after giving birth. Patterns of contraceptive practice reflect a continued focus on female sterilization, limited use of male methods, limited use of endless methods, and ongoing unmet needs. The vast majority of abortions are performed outside the structure of legally licensed providers and facilities. More than a quarter of young women remain married during childhood. Few young people have access to comprehensive sex education, and their information needs to promote sexual and reproductive health are generally unmet. Access to and quality of services and making informed choices are far from optimal. Injustice is pervasive and places the poor, rural residents, young people and marginalized groups at particular disadvantage, not just in certain areas. To move forward, and in particular to achieve the national goals and her SDGs 3 and 5, multi-faceted efforts are needed to accelerate the pace of change in all these aspects of health and rights.
