"New Delhi: As the countdown to India celebrating 75 glorious years of
independence draws closer the remarkable journey is a constant reminder of the
fact that the country has come a long way.
Having eradicated two deadly pandemics – polio, and smallpox, the booming
economy has improved tremendously concerning life expectancy. The average life
of an Indian in 1947 was around 32 years and now it has increased to 70 years.
The enormous rise in expectancy in the last more than seven decades has been
over 100 per cent.
India has also earned global respect and praise for its complete eradication of
Poliovirus which rendered millions of children paralysed. The last case of
polio was registered in 2010 in West Bengal, and the WHO declared the country
polio-free in 2014. Till the 1990s polio was hyperendemic with an average of
1000 children getting affected by the virus daily. Smallpox has also been
eliminated in India and around the world, after one last outbreak in Somalia in
the late 1980s."
