 On February 25, 2012, the World Health Organization (WHO) removed India from the list of polio-endemic countries. This was a historic moment for India and the global health community as it marked a major milestone in the fight against polio. Polio is a highly infectious disease that primarily affects young children and can lead to paralysis or death.

This program was supported by various international partners, including the WHO, UNICEF, and the B
