## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI ANNPURNA DEVI)

(a) to (g):  The recently-launched PANKHUDI portal is a single-window digital platform of the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) designed to enable structured and transparent  participation  of  individuals,  NGOs,  Corporates  and  NRIs  in  women  and  child development  initiatives.  The  portal  provides  end-to-end  digital  workflows  for  registration, proposal  submission  and  tracking  of  contributions  (only  non-cash  contributions).  The grassroots institutions functioning under various State and UT governments dealing with the three missions of the Ministry can indicate their requirements.

PANKHUDI supports priority thematic areas such as nutrition, health, Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), child protection and women's empowerment , and aligns contributions with flagship schemes including Mission Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0, Mission Vatsalya and Mission Shakti , promoting convergence among  government bodies and partner organisations.

As on 03.02.2026, 38 contributors have registered on the portal.

The Ministry has undertaken capacity-building and outreach activities , including training and handholding sessions for State and District functionaries, virtual meetings with senior State government officials and introduction of a module on Pankhudi in all major courses conducted by Savitri Bai Phule National Institute of Women and Child Development (SPNIWCD) .
