public health and in designing appropriate interventions to reduce mortality. Accurate
information on the nature and prevalence of causes of death is essential to guide policy-makers
in setting priorities for different health programmes across country. The size and geographical
distribution of occurrence of deaths by their causes for different age-groups, sex, residence and

scientists, epidemiologists and researchers. The present report on Causes of Death in India:
