India
India has not had a case of wild poliovirus nor detected the virus in sewage sampling since 13 January 2011. When all pending samples have cleared laboratory testing, India will be considered to have interrupted transmission of indigenous wild poliovirus.

The country has an aggressive agenda to strengthen routine immunization and maintain supplementary activities in order to maintain high immunity. In addition, sensitive surveillance and emergency response plans are in place  in every state to detect and swiftly respond to importations.
