Neglected tropical diseases in India are a group of bacterial, parasitic, viral, and fungal infections that are common in low income countries but receive little funding to address them. Neglected tropical diseases are common in India. India's population is about 1.3 billion as of 2018, which is the second largest in the world. However, high population does not explain the greater frequently of neglected tropical diseases in India than in other countries. Neglected tropical diseases in India occur in areas of both urban and rural poverty.
