The U.S. Department of State Monday improved the India on the issue of trafficking in human beings humans, saying that the country has made "significant efforts" to deal with crime.
In its annual report on trafficking in this year, the United States moved India to a location to "level 2," the second of four possible investments.

Previously, there are only three possible classifications.
The report praised India to configure the 87 of anti-trafficking units, to increase the number of convictions of people involved in the trafficking of human beings humans of forced labour and ratify a relevant Protocol of the United Nations last month.
However, he also said that the Government must do much more. "Corrupt the Act police officers would continue to facilitate the movement of the victims of sex trafficking and protected the alleged traffickers and the guardians of the House close to the law," said the report. "Some places continuous police provide sex and work processes to hamper relief efforts."
The State Department, said that the India should encourage States to implement the special courts dedicated to the prosecution of cases of trafficking, as Mumbai. It is also called on the India to improve the protection of victims testifying against traffickers and to increase the funding available for those who are trying to build a new life after being rescued.
The report also called for tougher penalties on crimes related to trafficking in human beings human. He noted that, in certain local laws cases on bonded labor and the working children prescribe the maximum sentences of three years. The report also stated that trafficking cases are often seen in the courts below where persons convicted may be sentenced to not more than three years, even where the law permits a greater maximum than that sentence. The State Department praised a Court of Tamil Nadu, which last year sentenced three convicted traffickers of bonded labour to five years in prison.
A spokesman for the Department is home to the India said that this fact did not comment on the reports on the India.
Earlier this month, a survey of the perception of a little over 200 experts on gender issues rated the most dangerous country India the fourth in the world, in large part because of problems of trafficking human, often women and girls and the feticide.
But, while sex trafficking is also a serious issue, United States, says forced labor is the greatest problem deals with the India, and that the majority of this is internal.
"Labour forced millions of citizens is more the India traffic problem," said the report by 2011. "The men, women and children in debt bondage are forced to work in industries such as furnaces of brick, rice mills, agriculture, and embroidery factories.
The report also criticises Maoist rebels of the India, called Naxals. "Maoist armed groups known as Naxalites recruited by force of the children in their ranks," said the report.
