India has been taking significant measures to eliminate the use of animals in drug testing. Some of the initiatives are:

• Establishment of the Indian Council of Medical Research’s (ICMR) 'Committees for Purpose Control and Supervision of Experimentation on Animals' to ensure the ethical treatment of animals involved in drug testing.
• Development and promotion of alternative methods such as in vitro testing, computer simulations, and cell cultures to replace animal testing.
• Implementation of guidelines by the Central Drug Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) to encourage the use of non-animal testing methods in the drug development process.
• Collaboration with international organizations like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to advocate for the replacement, reduction, and refinement of animal testing methods.
• Education and training programs for researchers and scientists to raise awareness about alternative methods and foster a shift towards more humane practices.
• Encouragement of research institutions and pharmaceutical companies to invest in non-animal testing techniques and support development efforts in this field.

These efforts reflect India's commitment to animal welfare and the promotion of innovative and ethical techniques in drug testing.
