The under five mortality rate, preschool children mortality rate and Total fertility rates have been observed. The most affected factors have been identified among the few variables and analyzed from the available data. Employed Statistical and Mathematical application; Path Analysis technique, Regression analysis technique and found correlation matrices as well as descriptive values. It has been high proportion of Total fertility rate R2, affected the under five mortality rate in India. Identified the direct and indirect effects by the Path analysis technique, fitted Regression and path models.
