Which of the following diseases has been eradicated from India?

Correct option is C

Polio has been eradicated from India. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared India polio-free on 27th March 2014 after extensive immunization programs like Pulse Polio Campaign. India was once among the most polio-affected countries, but rigorous vaccination drives helped eliminate the disease.
Explanation of Each Option:
· Tuberculosis: Still prevalent in India, despite significant efforts to reduce its cases. India has the highest TB burden in the world, and the government aims to eliminate it by 2025 under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP).
· Malaria: Efforts to control malaria are ongoing, but it has not been fully eradicated. Malaria cases have significantly declined due to initiatives like National Vector Borne Disease Control Program (NVBDCP). However, some regions, particularly in rural areas, still report cases.
· Polio: Correct answer; declared eradicated in 2014 by WHO after successful immunization efforts like the Pulse Polio Campaign. No new polio cases have been reported since 2011.
· AIDS: Still exists; it is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), and while its spread has reduced due to awareness programs and ART (Antiretroviral Therapy), there is no complete cure yet. Prevention and treatment efforts continue worldwide.
