The Goal of The United Nations' Sustainable Development is to reduce under-five mortality to or at below 25 per 1000 live births. The large and vulnerable group with a high-risk population in India is the age group of children under the age of five years. According to UNICEF, South Asia has the highest proportion of recorded child mortality, with India accounting for a quarter of them. Being a member of a tribal community adds to this vulnerability. When compared to other social classes, tribal children had a 19% higher chance of dying during the newborn period and a 45% higher risk during the post-neonatal era. The Indian government is working hard to put child survival at the forefront of its agenda and has devised a particular plan for vulnerable populations. It uses content analysis to examine existing policies, programs, and research involving children under the age of five. The findings revealed the historical development of child policies dating back to 1974 with the creation of the first child policy. Meanwhile, several initiatives to enhance the health of children under the age of five have been made.
