SHRIMATI SUPRIYA SULE: Will the Minister of CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS be pleased to state: (a) whether the Government is aware that pharmaceutical and medical technology experts have sought extension of the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme to cover Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and if so, the details thereof and the reasons for not extending the scheme so far, despite Maharashtra being a major pharmaceutical manufacturing hub; (b) whether the continued dependence on imported APIs has adversely affected domestic drug manufacturing and health security, particularly in 13.03.2026 627 Maharashtra and if so, the details thereof and the corrective measures taken/proposed to be taken in this regard; (c) whether the Government proposes to introduce structured policy support for healthcare innovation in view of growing medical research and start-up ecosystem of Maharashtra and if so, the details thereof; and (d) whether the Government intends to rationalise import duties on advanced cancer radiation equipment to improve access beyond major cities in Maharashtra and if so, the timeline and details thereof? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS (SHRIMATI ANUPRIYA PATEL): (a): The Department of Pharmaceuticals has received representations from the approved applicants under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for promotion of domestic manufacturing of critical Key Starting Materials (KSMs)/ Drug Intermediates (DIs) and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) in India (commonly known as “PLI Scheme for Bulk Drugs”) regarding the extension of scheme tenure. In this regard, the Government has decided not to give extension to the said scheme as it will result in an unfair benefit to non- performers and thereby, will be against the interest of those beneficiaries those have made efforts to meet the timelines. (b): i. India's dependence on imported APIs, particularly from a single source country, has posed supply chain vulnerability risks for domestic drug 13.03.2026 628 manufacturing. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the risks associated with excessive dependence on imports for critical APIs and KSMs, which had the potential to disrupt domestic pharmaceutical production and thereby affect health security. ii. In this regard, the Government has proactively notified the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for promotion of domestic manufacturing of critical Key Starting Materials (KSMs)/ Drug Intermediates (DIs) and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) In India (also known PLI scheme for bulk drugs) with a budgetary outlay of ₹6,940 crore, specifically to address this structural vulnerability by incentivizing domestic manufacturing of 41 identified critical APIs/ KSMs that were previously largely imported. iii. With respect to the State of Maharashtra specifically, it may be noted that 3 projects have been approved under the PLI Scheme for Bulk Drugs in the State, with an investment of ₹159 crore as of December 2025. Under these projects, domestic manufacturing capacity of approximately 17,680 MT per annum has already been established, contributing significantly to the State's API manufacturing base and thereby reducing import vulnerability for critical drug inputs. At the national level, as of December 2025, 38 projects covering 28 notified products have been commissioned under the Scheme, resulting in establishment of domestic manufacturing capacity of approximately 56,800 MT per annum, progressively reducing dependence on single-source imports. (c): i. With a view to strengthening the domestic biopharmaceutical sector and 13.03.2026 629 enhancing global competitiveness in biologics and bio-similars, the Government has announced the Biopharma SHAKTI scheme with an outlay of ₹10,000 crore over five years with an objective to build a globally competitive domestic ecosystem for biologics and bio-similars to support affordable healthcare in India and enable India to emerge as a global biopharma manufacturing and innovation hub. By supporting research and development, strengthening clinical trial infrastructure and promoting collaboration between academia, research institutions and industry, the Scheme seeks to encourage domestic innovation and manufacturing capabilities in the biopharmaceutical sector. ii. The Scheme for "Promotion of Research and Innovation in Pharma MedTech sector (PRIP)" has been launched by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers with the goal of transforming India into a global powerhouse for R&D in the Pharma MedTech sector. The scheme has a total financial outlay of ₹5000 crores, which includes ₹700 crores to establish Centers of Excellence (CoEs) at seven National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education & Research (NIPERs), and ₹4200 crores to accelerate investments in the R&D ecosystem within the sector. iii. Department of Science and Technology (DST), through the "Therapeutic Chemicals" program of Technology Translation and Innovation (TTI) Division, is pursuing to have self-reliance in health care sector. As a top-down approach, DST has created 5 clusters ((i) Chennai Tirupati Bengaluru Cluster (ii) Hyderabad Cluster (iii) Mumbai Pune Cluster (iv) Dehradun Himachal Cluster (v) 13.03.2026 630 Kolkata Guwahati Cluster) under this initiative of "Therapeutic Chemicals" program for the development of KSMs, Intermediates and raw materials. This cluster is expected to collaborate with relevant industry for their inputs to identify the priority chemicals and also for commercialization of the identified chemicals for which the feasibility report is under process. (d): Rationalization of import duties is undertaken during the Annual Budget exercise or through specific notifications based on representations from stakeholders and recommendations from relevant technical bodies. Such decisions involve an assessment of the balance between providing affordable access to advanced medical equipment, such as cancer radiation technology, and encouraging domestic value addition. Matters relating to customs duties on imported medical equipment, including advanced cancer radiation equipment, are reviewed by the Government from time to time in consultation with the concerned Ministries/Departments, taking into account various relevant factors such as domestic manufacturing capacity, public health considerations and revenue implications.

The empanelment of private hospitals under the scheme is entirely voluntary. As on 28.02.2026, the empanelment of hospitals under AB-PMJAY has increased from 6,917 hospitals in FY 2018–19, comprising 3,013 public and 13.03.2026 766 3,904 private hospitals, to 36,229 hospitals, comprising 19,483 public and 16,746 private hospitals.

(e): Under the scheme, settlement of claims is a regular and uninterrupted process and claims are settled by respective State Health Agencies as per claim adjudication guidelines issued by National Health Authority. As per the guideline, the permissible turnaround time for settlement of claim to hospitals is within 15 days of claim submission for intra-state hospitals (hospitals located within the State) and within 30 days in case of portability claims (hospitals located outside the State). Further, the claims submitted by empanelled hospitals are scrutinized based on the clinical documents, investigation reports and other supporting records, in accordance with the prescribed standard treatment guidelines. 13.03.2026 767 ADDITIONAL MBBS AND PG SEATS 3614. SHRI DUSHYANT SINGH: Will the Minister of HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE be pleased to state: (a) the manner in which additional MBBS and PG seats approved under Phase-III of the Centrally Sponsored Scheme for strengthening and upgradation of existing State Government/Central Government Medical Colleges/Standalone PG Institutes/Government Hospitals are being allocated through a transparent and needs-based framework, particularly for aspirational and underserved districts including those in Rajasthan; (b) whether long-term health workforce planning has been undertaken to align seat expansion with projected regional demand for doctors and specialists along with estimates of additional faculty requirements arising therefrom, if so, the details thereof; (c) the manner in which the Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025 and the CBME Curriculum Guidelines, 2024 support faculty availability, medico-legal training and quality standards; and (d) the steps envisaged to enhance affordability, ensure greater fee transparency in private medical colleges and position of India as a global hub for high- quality medical education? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS (SHRIMATI ANUPRIYA PATEL): 13.03.2026 768 (a) and (b): The Government has approved Phase-III of the Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) for strengthening and upgradation of existing State Government/ Central Government Medical Colleges/ Standalone PG Institutes/ Government Hospitals for increasing 5,000 PG seats and extension of the CSS for upgradation of existing government medical colleges for increasing 5,023 MBBS seats with an enhanced cost ceiling of ₹1.50 crore per seat from financial year 2025-26 to 2028- 29. Guidelines for implementation of these schemes have been issued in November, 2025, wherein, States and UTs including Rajasthan have been requested to send the Detailed Project Report with proper Gap Analysis. While sending the proposals, States/UTs have been requested to give priority to the institutes in underserved/rural areas and certain broad specialities. The expansion of medical seats reduce the gap in the healthcare workforce, particularly in underserved region and has a direct bearing on the doctor-population ratio across States, including Rajasthan. (c) and (d): The National Medical Commission (NMC) has notified the Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025 to address the growing demand for healthcare professionals and to enhance the quality of medical education. These regulations aim to widen the pool of eligible faculty and facilitate expansion of MBBS and PG seats through following measures: I. Non-teaching government hospitals with 220+ beds can now be designated as teaching hospitals. II. Specialists with 10 years' experience can be appointed as Associate 13.03.2026 769 Professors, and those with 2 years experience as Assistant Professors, without mandatory Senior Residency, Senior Consultants with 3 years of teaching experience in NBEMS-recognized institutions are now eligible for the post of Professor. III. Diploma holders with 6 years cumulative experience as specialists or medical officers in government institutions are eligible as Assistant Professor. Additionally, the Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) Guidelines, 2024, issued under the framework of the National Medical Commission (NMC), strengthen medico-legal training and quality standards in medical education by emphasizing competency-based learning, ethical practice, and accountability in healthcare. The guidelines integrate medico-legal aspects into the undergraduate medical curriculum to ensure that medical graduates are well equipped to handle legal, ethical, and professional responsibilities in clinical practice. Further, relaxation in PG course norms has been introduced whereby PG courses can commence with two (02) faculty members and two (02) seats, and bed/unit requirements have been rationalized. More feeder specialties have been made eligible for super-specialty programs, thus widening the faculty pool. Furthermore, the faculty requirements for MBBS courses as prescribed under the UG-MSR, 2023, are required to be maintained by Medical Colleges. The fee structure for MBBS course differs from State to State in 13.03.2026 770 Government / Private Medical Colleges as per the guidelines issued by concerned State Fee Regulatory Authorities. Further, the fee structure of Government medical colleges is subsidized thereby contributing to making medical education affordable and accessible. Guidelines have been framed under clause (i) of Sub- section (1) of section 10 of National Medical Commission Act, 2019 for determination of fees and all other charges in respect of 50% of seats in private medical institutions and deemed to be universities which were issued by National Medical Commission on 03.02.2022. However, the guidelines have been challenged in various courts and are subjudice. TRANSFER OF JUDGES 3615. SHRI MATHESWARAN V.

In case the death is not natural, police investigations are to be completed. As soon as the information about the death of an Indian national comes to the knowledge of the concerned Indian Mission/Post abroad, they take proactive action by seeking a report from the local Foreign Office and other concerned authorities regarding the cause of the death of the Indian national. Our Missions/Posts abroad inform the next of kin of the deceased Indian national, and facilitate the transportation to India or local burial of mortal remains in accordance with the wishes of the family of the deceased. Transportation of mortal remains of Indians involves the following steps: i. Nomination of a person by the family to carry out, on their behalf, the formalities in the foreign country, in case they are unable to come to the foreign country to take over the mortal remain. ii. Informing the Insurance Company (if any) by the authorized person/employer. 13.03.2026 825 iii. Nomination of a transporter (in consultation with Insurance Company, if any) by the authorized person/employer. iv. Obtain the copy of the FIR from the Police authorities, if applicable. v. Complete the formalities relating to embalming, coffin and quarantine of the mortal remains as soon as possible by the transporter. vi. Procurement of air ticket for transportation of mortal remains by the authorized person/ employer. vii. The authorized person needs to obtain the documents – FIR, where applicable, Medical Certificate/Death Certificate, Original Passport, Embalming Certificate, Coffin Certificate, Quarantine Certificate, Authority Letter by the family, List of belongings, Air Way Bill (copy or detail information) and provide the original passport to the Embassy/Consulate for cancellation, upon which the Mission/Post issues the “Death Certificate and No Objection Certificate (NOC)”. viii. Nomination of person by the family who will collect the mortal remains, on their behalf, at the Indian Airport, if required. Indian Missions/Posts liaise with different authorities in the foreign country for seeking following documents for transportation of mortal remains: i. Medical report / death certificate issued from the hospital concerned; ii. Police report (with English translation, if report is in some other language), in case of accidental or unnatural death; iii. Consent letter from next of kin of the deceased for local cremation / burial 13.03.2026 826 / transportation of mortal remains; iv. Issuing of NOC by the Mission / Post for transportation or local cremation / burial as required; v. Clearance and arrangements for embalming of mortal remains from the authorities concerned in the foreign country; vi. Clearance from local immigration/ customs department.

During 15th Finance Commission cycle, 50,000 Anganwadi Centres are being constructed @10000 AWCs per year in convergence with MGNREGS wherein Rs.8.00 Lakh is provided under MGNREGS, Rs.2.00 Lakh under 15th Finance Commission (FC) (or any other untied funds) and Rs.2.00 Lakh by MWCD per AWC shared between Centre and States/UTs in the prescribed cost sharing ratio. Further, States/UTs have also been advised to continue to tap funds for construction of AWC buildings from various schemes such as Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF), Finance Commission Grants to Panchayati Raj 13.03.2026 838 Institutions, Multi- Sectoral Development Programme (MSDP) of Ministry of Minority Affairs, etc. Various other initiatives have been undertaken for construction of AWCs under PM JANMAN and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan for the targeted development of Tribal population and VVP (Vibrant Village Programme) - Phase I, focusing on Northern border areas. Also, in order to improve the infrastructure facilities at AWCs various steps have been undertaken by the Ministry that, inter alia, include increasing the funding for drinking water facilities and toilets at Anganwadi Centres from Rs.10,000/- to Rs.17,000/- and Rs.12,000/- to Rs.36,000/- respectively. Under Mission Poshan 2.0, two lakh AWCs located in Government buildings @40,000 AWCs per year are being strengthened as Saksham Anganwadis for delivery of improved nutrition and for Early Childhood Care and Education in the 15th Finance Commission cycle. Saksham Anganwadis are provided with better infrastructure than the conventional Anganwadi centres with LED screens, water filtration system, Poshan Vatika, Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) material and Building as Learning Aid (BALA) paintings. In convergence with Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education Guidelines for Co-locating AWCs within Government Primary Schools have been jointly launched on 3rd September, 2025 to strengthen ECCE and Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) services. In places where physical co-location is not possible, AWCs are to be mapped with 13.03.2026 839 the nearest primary school. (b): Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 is a Centrally Sponsored scheme. The implementation of the scheme falls under the ambit of State Governments and UTs administrations. The State and UT wise details of functioning Aanganwadi centres along with the number of beneficiaries enrolled therein is available at the link: https://www.poshantracker.in/statistics. (c): Poshan Tracker application has been rolled out as an important governance tool facilitating monitoring and tracking of all AWCs, Anganwadi workers and beneficiaries on defined indicators. Technology under Poshan Tracker is being leveraged for dynamic identification of stunting, wasting and under-weight prevalence among children. It has facilitated near real time data collection for Anganwadi Services such as, opening of AWCs, daily attendance of children, ECCE activities, Growth Monitoring of children, Provision of Hot Cooked Meal (HCM) and Take Home Ration (THR), Growth Measurement etc. For last mile tracking of Service Delivery, Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) has developed Facial Recognition System (FRS) for distribution of Take-Home Ration to ensure that benefit is given only to the intended beneficiary registered in Poshan Tracker after establishing their identity. The Nominee Module has been introduced in Poshan Tracker to ensure uninterrupted delivery of Take-Home Ration (THR) to all Pregnant Women, Lactating Mothers, and Adolescent Girls under Saksham Anganwadi and 13.03.2026 840 Mission Poshan 2.0. If due to any reason, the registered beneficiary (Pregnant Women, Lactating Mother and Adolescent girl) is unable to visit the Anganwadi Centre to receive their THR through FRS, she can nominate a nominee on her behalf to receive her THR. Nominee has to undergo e-KYC only ONCE. But face matching will be done every time for receiving THR on behalf of the beneficiary. Even after addition of the nominee, beneficiary can still receive the THR at the Anganwadi Center if the nominee has not received it already.

Ministry also issues advisories, media briefings and tweets about fake job rackets from time to time. Such communications are also issued by concerned Indian Missions/Posts abroad through their websites and social media handles 13.03.2026 845 and through the print media. Government of India also raises such issues at political level with the host Governments from time to time. A list of unregistered agents has been notified on e-Migrate portal. This information is regularly updated based on complaints filed by aggrieved individuals. These complaints are also forwarded to concerned state police authorities for taking suitable action against illegal/fake agents as per existing legal provisions.

Under the programme, 770 District NCD Clinics and 6410 Community Health Centre NCD Clinics have been set up. Further, a population- based initiative for prevention, control and screening for common NCDs including diabetes has been rolled out in the country under NHM as a part of Comprehensive Primary Health Care. Under the initiative, persons more than 30 years of age are targeted for their screening through Ayushman Arogya Mandirs. The Government of India through the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases including diabetes has adopted a multi-pronged strategy to raise diabetes awareness and promote early care- seeking. Key initiatives include: i. Awareness activities are carried out under Information, Education and Communication (IEC) and Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) campaigns to encourage healthy lifestyles, early diagnosis and diabetes prevention. ii. Financial support is provided to States and Union Territories for conducting awareness generation activities under NHM as per their Programme Implementation Plans. iii.

THE MINISTER OF STATE OF THE MINISTRY OF AYUSH; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI PRATAPRAO GANPATRAO JADHAV): 13.03.2026 894 (a) to (d): Pradhan Mantri- Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM- ABHIM) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) with some Central Sector Components (CS) which has an outlay of Rs. 64,180 Crores for the scheme period (FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26). The scheme envisages a new generation of reforms to integrate and strengthen health service delivery and public health action including health research so that the communities are Atmanirbhar in managing such pandemics or health crisis. The measures under the scheme are aimed at strengthening health systems and institutions in order to provide a continuum of care at all levels, namely primary, secondary, and tertiary, as well as preparing health systems to respond effectively to current and future pandemics and disasters. The objectives of PM-ABHIM are to strengthen public health infrastructure at the primary and secondary levels of care; enhance capacity for disease surveillance, diagnostics, and research for emerging and re-emerging diseases; and develop a resilient health system capable of responding effectively to public health emergencies. The scope of PM-ABHIM includes strengthening public health systems in both rural and urban areas through investments in laboratories, critical care infrastructure, disease surveillance systems, and emergency response mechanisms. The scheme comprises Central Sector (CS) and Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) components, under which support is provided to 13.03.2026 895 States/UTs for strengthening district- and block-level health infrastructure, as well as for the expansion of national institutions. Under the CSS components of the scheme, following are the five activities where support is provisioned to the State/UTs during the scheme period (2021-2026): (i) Construction of 17,788 Building less Sub-Centres as Ayushman Bharat- Health & Wellness centres, now known as Ayushman Arogya Mandir (AAM) (ii) Establishment of 11,024 Health &amp; wellness Centres, now AAM in Urban areas with a focus on slum and slum like areas are envisioned (iii) Establishment of 3382 Block Public Health Units (BPHUs) at the block level, (iv) Establishment of 730 District Integrated Public Health Labs in the country, wherein each district will have one such lab. (v) Establishing 602 Critical Care Hospital Blocks in all districts with population more than 5 lakhs. Under CSS component of the scheme, administrative approvals have been accorded to the States/UTs under PM-ABHIM for 5 years period i.e. FY 2021- 22 to FY 2025-26 for an amount of Rs.32,928.82 Crores for construction/ strengthening and establishment of 9519 Building- less SHC-AAMs, 5456 Urban-AAMs, 2151 BPHUs, 744 IPHLs and 621 CCBs at District Hospitals/ Govt. Medical College level. 13.03.2026 896 The State/UT-wise details of Central Release and Expenditure under PM-ABHIM from FY 2022–23 to FY 2024–25 are enclosed as Statement-I. The State/UT-wise progress under PM-ABHIM is enclosed as Statement-II. During the implementation of PM-ABHIM, several bottlenecks were encountered by the States, including delays in the availability of adequate land, prolonged tendering and procurement processes, coordination challenges with project executing agencies, and inadequate pre-implementation readiness such as incomplete DPRs and pending approvals. To address these challenges and ensure timely completion and effective utilisation of the health infrastructure created under the scheme, the Government has taken several measures. These include continuous monitoring and review of project progress by senior officials through regular meetings with States/UTs and implementing agencies; directing States/UTs to ensure land and site readiness for approved projects; and enhancing inter-departmental coordination through periodic reviews. Efforts have also been made to strengthen project management and implementation capacity at the State level through technical support and coordination with implementing agencies for expediting approvals of DPRs and necessary procurement clearances. In addition, technical guidance, standard designs, and operational guidelines have been provided to States/UTs for timely implementation of infrastructure components, along with streamlining of fund release and utilisation 13.03.2026 897 mechanisms to facilitate timely execution of approved projects.

THE MINISTER OF STATE OF THE MINISTRY OF AYUSH; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI PRATAPRAO GANPATRAO JADHAV): (a) to (e): Public Health’ & ‘Hospitals’ are State subjects, hence, the primary responsibility of providing basic healthcare services to all the citizens of the country lies with respective State/UT Government. Free Diagnostics Service Initiative’ (FDSI) under National Health Mission (NHM) was launched in 2015 with the aim to provide accessible and affordable pathological and radiological diagnostics services closer to the community which in turn reduces the Out-of-Pocket Expenditure (OOPE). Under FDSI, Government of India provides financial support to States/UTs including 13.03.2026 928 Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh for 14 tests at Sub Health Centres (SHCs), 63 tests at Primary Health Centres (PHCs), 97 tests at Community Health Centres (CHCs), 111 tests at Sub-District Hospitals (SDHs) and 134 tests at District Hospitals (DHs). The three components under the umbrella of the FDSI include (i) Free Laboratory Services which provide a range of essential diagnostic packages free of cost at different levels of care, complementing other existing healthcare services and implemented in 36 States/UTs ; (ii) CT scan Services supported at the District Hospital level and (iii) Tele-radiology Services aimed to bridge the gap in infrastructure and shortage of specialist clinicians, especially radiologists by providing digitization and transmission of radiological images (X- ray, CT, and MRI) from peripheral health facilities to a remote hub having radiologists leading to a cost-effective health intervention. States/UTs have adopted different modes of service delivery which include in-house mode, public private partnership and mixed mode. Under the CSS component of Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM), Integrated Public Health Laboratories (IPHLs) and Block Public Health Units (BPHUs) are established to strengthen diagnostic capacities, address infrastructure gaps, and improve sample transportation systems across the country, including in tribal and rural areas. The Government of India provides technical and financial support to States/UTs to strengthen diagnostic services through standard treatment and testing protocols, capacity building of laboratory personnel, quality assurance 13.03.2026 929 mechanisms and strengthening of laboratory infrastructure.

The study found that the SAMARTHYA vertical of Mission Shakti including PMMVY is highly relevant and PMMVY Scheme has good awareness at grassroot level. The evaluation adopted a pragmatic mixed-methods approach, combining primary and secondary research to assess. In 2021, the World Bank conducted a survey on Poshan Abhiyaan in 11 priority states. The aim of this survey was to assess the program’s delivery of nutrition services, whether the nutritional knowledge of beneficiaries had improved and if they had adopted more appropriate nutrition and feeding practices. The findings demonstrated that the services delivered through the Poshan Abhiyaan – the receipt of relevant messages, home visits by the Anganwadi Worker, and attendance at community-based events – were associated with improved nutrition behaviours. The survey also found that the program's nutrition messages reached more than 80% of women, and that 81% of women practiced exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. Further, a third-party evaluation and impact assessment of Poshan Abhiyaan was conducted by NITI Aayog in 2020 and also in 2025. Both these assessments have found its relevance to be satisfactory for tackling malnutrition in the country. The steps taken to strengthen the implementation and monitoring of these schemes, are as under:  A new portal, Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana Software (PMMVYSoft) was developed and launched in March, 2023. Under PMMVYSoft, Aadhaar authentication through UIDAI and National Payment 13.03.2026 1034 Corporations of India (NPCI) verification is ensured so that funds are directly transferred to their DBT-enabled Aadhaar-seeded bank or post office accounts.  Available database of the Pregnant Women & Lactating Mothers from Poshan Tracker is used to create a “Due List” of potential beneficiaries on PMMVY Portal accessible at AWW/ASHA level.  IT systems have been leveraged to strengthen and bring about transparency in nutrition delivery support systems at the Anganwadi Centres. The ‘Poshan Tracker’ application was rolled out as an important governance tool. The Poshan Tracker facilitates monitoring and tracking of all AWCs, AWWs and beneficiaries on defined indicators. The States/UTs have also been advised to discontinue the use of physical registers and use Poshan Tracker to reduce work load of Anganwadi workers and improving their efficiency.
