Abstract :
India is playing an important role in shaping sustainable development in the world. In this article, is an attempt to explore, the Bayesian inference with the application of projection for future levels of Infant Mortality Rates (IMR) for India, through the Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation technique, using a nonlinear growth model. The main aim of the study is to examine the preparation of India to evaluate its progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target related to IMR under Bayesian Approach. The findings of this study show that India is not in a position to achieve the IMR target in the SDGs.
