The correct answer is D. Goa was the first Indian State to officially declare itself rabies-free in July 2021.

The declaration was based on successful implementation of the ‘Mission Rabies’ project, which involved mass dog vaccination, public awareness campaigns, and surveillance.

Achieving rabies-free status requires demonstrating no indigenous human rabies cases and minimal animal cases over a sustained period, supported by effective surveillance and control measures.
