UNICEF Data

UNICEF Data is the organisation’s statistical portal, providing indicators on children and women across 190+ countries. For India, the most important datasets cover child mortality (under-5, infant, neonatal), maternal health, nutrition (stunting, wasting, anaemia), education (out-of-school children), child marriage, birth registration, and water/sanitation access. UNICEF’s data draws from household surveys (DHS/MICS), UN agencies, and government statistics, with a strong emphasis on data quality and methodological transparency. The data is freely downloadable and accessible through an API. The India country profile aggregates the most-requested indicators in one place.
