Life expectancy at birth (e0) is regarded as an important index of the mortality level of a population.

The aim of this report is to look into the influence of infant mortality on life expectancy at birth based on the SRS data In this paper. The aim of this report is to look into the influence of infant mortality on life expectancy at birth based on the SRS data In this paper. The Study created the model by taking the only input as Infant mortality rate at the state level because information on Infant is available. Examination of life expectancy at birth for different years reveals that the life expectancy of the state is satisfactory in recent years and predicated or estimated value of Life expectancy above 75  which is the highest in India after state Kerala. Hence, the results clearly affirm that the Central and J&K state government approach of health interventions and policies is working properly in checking and reducing mortality differentials in the state.
