India was declared polio free on 13 january 2011. As a result of it the World Health Organization(WHO) has removed it from the list of polio endemic countries on Feb 2012, after India completed one year without any case of polio from any part of the country.
The progress made by India in eradicating polio have proved that effective strategies can be implemented even in most adverse and challenging conditions.
After India's success against polio only three countries in the world are considered to be polio endemic. These countries are Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan.
