Over all the states and union territories in India Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Assam, Puducherry, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh has the highest death rate whereas the Nagaland, Chandigarh and Delhi has the lowest death rate. The rural areas of India have the highest number of mortality rate when compared to urban areas.
