$\underline \mathscr \purple{Answer \: : - }$

Pulse Polio is an immunization campaign established by the Government of India in 1994 to eradicate poliomyelitis (Polio) in India by vaccinating annually all children under age five against poliovirus. Every child (0-5 years of age) receives a dose of Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV), a live, attenuated virus which colonises the gastrointestinal tract. This virus competitively inhibits the wild, disease-causing poliovirus. Not only does this prevent pernicious infection in the host, it precludes transmission of the wild poliovirus to other hosts. Since poliovirus cannot survive outside a host for more than two weeks, theoretically it would be eradicated, resulting in the eradication of poliomyelitis. The campaign proved to be successful and the incidence of poliomyelitis in India has decreased dramatically. Nevertheless, critics charge that the campaign has seriously encroached on other essential public health services at times when health care resources were minimal.
