PM Family Care Tracker launched in Gujarat

Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah on 28 June inaugurated the ‘PM Family Care Tracker’ pilot project in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

Prime Minister’s Family Care Tracker (PM-FCT) is a digital platform aimed at strengthening maternal and child health, nutrition, and family welfare through real-time monitoring of beneficiaries.

The platform was introduced as a pilot project in Gujarat, beginning with Gandhinagar, and is planned to be expanded to other parts of the country in phases.

PM-FCT seeks to integrate health, nutrition, education, and welfare services by tracking pregnant women, newborns, infants, children, and adolescents up to 18 years of age. 

It provides end-to-end monitoring of key health and development milestones, including antenatal and postnatal care, immunisation, nutrition, growth monitoring, school enrolment and attendance, adolescent health services. 

The platform includes Digital Health Passports for individuals and families, enabling continuous tracking of health records and service delivery.

It features dashboards to facilitate the implementation and monitoring of government welfare schemes.

PM-FCT generates automated alerts for missed vaccinations, health check-ups, and other essential health and nutrition services.

The platform promotes convergence across multiple government departments by integrating data from:

• Birth and death registration systems
• Health databases
• Nutrition databases
• Education databases

PM-FCT is part of the Union Government’s broader initiative to promote technology-enabled governance, data-driven policymaking, and efficient welfare delivery through integrated digital platforms.
