Gandhinagar: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Sunday inaugurated the pilot project of the PM Family Care Tracker (PM-FCT) and Health Passport in Gandhinagar.
Describing it as an important initiative for transparent, technology-driven welfare delivery, Shah said it will ensure no eligible beneficiary being left behind.
“Under the Prime Minister’s transparent governance, every rupee released from Delhi is now deposited directly into the bank accounts of the poor,” said Shah, who distributed the first digital certificates, administered polio drops, distributed nutrition kits and issued Health Passports.

Shah remarked that a new era of welfare for the poor began in India after 2014. “Whenever the history of India’s first 100 years of independence is written, it will be divided into two phases — before 2014 and after 2014.”
Shah informed that the integrated digital platform will strengthen governance through a common identity system and ensure that no eligible beneficiary is deprived of welfare benefits.
Explaining how it works, the Home minister said that the PM Family Care Tracker integrates databases relating to birth and death registration, health, nutrition, education and social welfare into a unified digital system.
Under this system, alerts will be generated automatically in case a child misses vaccination or drops out of school. Notifications will reach local officials, legislators and MPs, enabling volunteers and government authorities to promptly take action.
The platform will digitally track the health and nutrition of children from prenatal stage until the age of 16.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel described the PM Family Care Tracker and Health Passport as a sensitive and well-structured digital health infrastructure for every family.
The initiative marks the beginning of a “new era” in ensuring safe, healthy and dignified lives for mothers and children from pregnancy through adolescence, he said.
