The document provides data on caesarean section births, exclusive breastfeeding rates, and infant mortality rates for 15 Indian states. It finds a moderate negative correlation (-0.5792) between caesarean section rates and infant mortality rates among the states. However, it finds a very low positive correlation (0.009249) between exclusive breastfeeding rates and infant mortality rates. Linear regression analysis in Excel and SPSS similarly shows no significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and infant mortality based on the data from the 15 states.
