Direction: In the question given below, a passage is given followed by some statements. Read the passage and answer the following question.

India rolled out the Pulse Polio Immunization Programme on 2 October 1994, when the country accounted for around 60% of the global polio cases. Within two decades, India received ‘Polio-free certification’ from World Health Organization on 27 March 2014, with the last polio case being reported in Howrah in West Bengal on 13 January 2011. Polio (poliomyelitis) mainly affects children under 5 years of age, with 1 in 200 infections leading to irreversible paralysis. Among those paralysed, nearly 5% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized. The efforts to keep the country polio free continue, with the first Polio National Immunisation Day (NID) for 2021 on January 31. More than 159 million children have been vaccinated against polio since January. The polio vaccination coverage at the end of round one is more than 97% against a target of 165 million children, according to WHO data for tracking the quality of immunization.
