The US has retained India in Tier 2 list of countries in its annual human trafficking report and said the country does not fully meet the minimum standards for its elimination despite making significant efforts. The efforts include convicting traffickers, initiating a high-profile investigation in a case that involved officials in sex trafficking at a government based shelter and continues to raise awareness of trafficking.
