Life Expectancy in India

Life expectancy reflects the overall health and development of a nation. As per the Sample Registration System (SRS), 2023, India’s life expectancy stands at 70.2 years male: 68.4, female: 71.8.

Improvements stem from expanded immunization (Mission Indradhanush), Ayushman Bharat, nutrition schemes, and better sanitation under Swachh Bharat Mission.

In Haryana, life expectancy improved from 66.5 years (2011) to 71 years (2023) (NFHS–5), due to robust primary health centers and women’s health programs like Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan.
