The Government of India awarded Gates the Padma Bhushan, the country's third highest civilian honor, recognizing the Gates Foundation's investments in polio eradication, HIV/AIDS prevention, tuberculosis control, and agricultural development for smallholder farmers across India. The Foundation had by 2015 invested over $3 billion in India. India declared itself polio-free in 2014 — a landmark the Gates Foundation considered one of its most significant achievements.
