The Impressive TimesNew Delhi, March 21, 2025: In a significant step toward strengthening the enforcement of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC & PNDT) Act, Delhi Health Minister Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh launched the PC & PNDT Online Portal today. The launch took place during a state-level workshop on the effective implementation of the PC & PNDT Act at the Delhi Secretariat.
The digital portal (https://pcpndt.delhi.gov.in/) aims to streamline enforcement, enable online registration of diagnostic centers, and facilitate real-time monitoring to prevent the misuse of ultrasound technology for sex determination.
✅ 627 inspections conducted in 2024-25, leading to strict action against violators.
✅ Launch of digital PC & PNDT Portal for online registration, complaint lodging, and compliance monitoring.
✅ 70 show-cause notices, 13 suspensions, 53 cancellations, and 22 ultrasound machines sealed.
✅ IEC campaigns under ‘Beti Utsav’ to raise awareness about the importance of the girl child.
Addressing the event, Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh reaffirmed the Delhi government’s commitment to gender equality and the protection of the girl child.
“Sex determination is a deep-rooted issue, and as the capital, Delhi must lead the way in eliminating it. This digital initiative will improve transparency, enforcement, and the sex ratio in the city,” he stated.
The new PC & PNDT Online Portal replaces manual paperwork with automated Form F submission, public complaint registration, and real-time updates on compliance status, ensuring greater accountability and efficiency in law enforcement.
During the event, officials from the Directorate of Family Welfare briefed the Health Minister on ongoing inspections, legal interventions, and awareness campaigns.
The Delhi government urges medical professionals, enforcement agencies, and the public to actively participate in this initiative to create a balanced and inclusive society.
