        abstract = {— India’s federal structure presents significant inter-state disparities in health infrastructure, maternal and child health, nutritional outcomes, and socio-economic development. This consolidated research paper presents a comparative analytical study of five Indian states Madhya Pradesh (M.P.), Bihar, Uttarakhand (U.K.), Haryana, and Rajasthan focusing on public health indicators, healthcare accessibility, nutrition status, maternal-child outcomes, and governance effectiveness. The study synthesizes secondary data from national surveys and government health missions to evaluate disparities and progress trends. Findings indicate persistent gaps in maternal mortality, anemia prevalence, institutional delivery rates, and rural health infrastructure in Bihar and M.P., while Haryana and Uttarakhand show relatively improved outcomes. Rajasthan demonstrates mixed performance with improvements in institutional healthcare but ongoing nutritional challenges. The paper concludes with strategic policy recommendations aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and National Health Mission (NHM) frameworks.},
