Question:
The Sustainable Development Goal "Good Health and Well-being" has shown improvement in India due to:

Options

(1) Clean Water & Sanitation
(2) Decline in Maternal Mortality Ratio
(3) Better Access to Housing
(4) Widespread Waste Collection and Processing
Answer: (2) Decline in Maternal Mortality Ratio

Explanation:
SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) tracks indicators like Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR), Under-5 mortality rate, and disease burden. India has shown significant improvement in this SDG primarily due to a substantial decline in its Maternal Mortality Ratio β€” from 254 per lakh live births (2004-06) to 97 per lakh live births (2018-20), largely driven by schemes like Janani Suraksha Yojana, better institutional deliveries, and improved antenatal care.
