It refers to pmmvy.wcd.gov.in — the official Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana portal operated by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) of the Government of India. Many beneficiaries encounter this URL and wonder what “WCD” means, why it replaced the old NIC portal, and how to use it. This guide explains the PMMVY WCD portal completely — what it is, what you can do on it, and how the URL structure reflects the scheme’s administration.
What Does WCD Mean in Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana YojanaWCD Gov In?
WCD stands for Women and Child Development — the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India. This ministry administers the PMMVY scheme across all states and union territories. The portal address pmmvy.wcd.gov.in tells you three things: it is the PMMVY scheme portal, it is owned by the WCD ministry, and it is an official Government of India website (.gov.in domain).
Before 2022, the portal was hosted on NIC (National Informatics Centre) servers at pmmvy-cas.nic.in. When the government launched PMMVY 2.0 under Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0, the portal was migrated to the ministry’s own domain. Consequently, pmmvy.wcd.gov.in replaced all old NIC URLs. The old addresses redirect here, but using the direct URL avoids redirect delays.

Difference Between the Portal and Your Anganwadi Centre
The portal records your application. In contrast, the Anganwadi Centre handles the physical process. Both must match, therefore always confirm that the worker has entered your details correctly.
Safe Practices When Using the WCD Portal
The portal handles sensitive personal data. Therefore, use a private device and a secure connection whenever possible. Avoid public computers and shared devices.
Additionally, log out after each session. Never save your password in a browser on a shared phone. Furthermore, never share your OTP with anyone, including people who claim to help you.
If the portal fails to load, wait and retry later. In contrast, do not click links from unknown messages that promise faster service. Such links often lead to fake pages.
- Use a trusted device
- Log out after use
- Never share an OTP
- Type the address yourself rather than clicking links
When to Visit the Anganwadi Centre Instead
Some applicants cannot use the portal easily. In that case, the Anganwadi worker can help. She can register you, check your status and explain any error message.
