Other estimations
[edit]
This is a list of Indian states by life expectancy at birth. The figures come from the Human Development Index Report, published in 2011, by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) India[13] and Sample Registration Survey (SRS) based life table 2010–14.[14][15]
The report provides life expectancy at birth based on mortality rates in years 2002–06, 2010–14, 2019, and 2019-21.
