Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. IMR stands for infant mortality rate. The infant mortality rate denotes the number of children that die before one year as a proportion of 1000 live children in that particular year. In 2017, 35 children died in Bihar. Before completing one year of age, 1000 children were born, which is a worse incident. This indicates no availability of basic healthcare in Bihar. The infant mortality rate tells us about the healthcare system of the government in the state. It is one of the attributes used by UNDP to publish Human development reports. Government can minimise the infant mortality rate by opening more hospitals in rural and urban areas, making them accessible and affordable to the rural people, providing free medicines and check-ups, free vaccination to babies etc.
Thus the correct statement would be The infant mortality rate is the lowest in Mizoram.
