Top 10 Healthiest States In India By 2025: Health is one of the most important parts of a good life.  A healthy population means fewer illnesses, better work performance and national growth. As of 2025, several Indian states have achieved significant achievements in enhancing public health conditions, healthcare services and awareness. These states have prioritised topics such as modern hospitals, nutrition, immunisation, cleanliness and maternal and child health.

States like Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Goa are leading the list due to their efforts in providing better medical services, health awareness, and disease control programs. From building rural health centres to offering free medicines and running health schemes, these states are setting strong examples. Even states with earlier health challenges, like Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh, are now showing big improvements. The Health Index score reflects how effectively the state is taking care of its people’s well-being.
