Infant Mortality Rate in India failed to achieve Millennium Development Goals

Mostly developing countries including Pakistan and India , failed to achieve Millennium  Development Goals . The Hindu pointed out that India did not able to reduce Infant Mortality Rate according to the target set by MDGs . (Infant mortality rate: Target set by Millennium Development Goals not met)
Talking to the Hindu , Thomas Chandy, CEO -"Save the Children " pointed out that services are not reaching to marginalized sections of society whereas Purnima Menon -Senior Research Fellow in IFPRI’s Poverty, Health and Nutrition Division related it poor nutrition. 
I am agreed with both of them but i want to  point out some inter-related factors responsible for high infant Mortality rate in India.
