India's perennial problem with sanitation causing many disease to widespread all over India is finally being solved. It turns out that there are only few people in India infected with polio. With the article revolving around the anecdote of a baby suffering from polio, the author makes his point by including the news that this baby is perhaps the last person in India with the disease. India has been working hard since 1995 to provide all citizens, regardless of age and social statues, with the polio vaccine. Many other international NGOs have helped to keep the movement officially functioning. Even politicians made sure that everyone got the vaccine. This movement is coming up with amazing results that is helping India in the long run. India's vision is to provide diarrhoea vaccines for the people in India as more than 1.4 million people have suffered and died with the disease. India is hoping for another great success in initiating a program to help the citizens.
This article consists mostly of information related to the India's anti polio program. Starting the article with a small anecdote of a baby infected with polio is a good start. To introduce the main idea that the anti polio campaign has been carried out fairly well to an extent that most of the Indians are vaccinated and are resistant to the disease is a good news for the readers. The tone of the article is mostly informative. The author provides this information to tell the readers, who are probably people interested in the vaccine movements in other countries, sanitation problems, or current events in India. The author refers to the vision of the India's government and of the many NGOs who are hoping to vaccinate the Indians with diarrhoea. Overall, the article was comprehensible and captivating.
