Justice Prakash Prabhakar Naolekar (Retd.), Chairman of the High-Level Committee on Demographic Changes (HLCDC), launched the official web portal (https://demography.mha.gov.in) in New Delhi. Constituted by the Ministry of Home Affairs on May 26, 2026, the portal enables Central Ministries, State/UT Governments, NGOs, institutions, and individuals to submit inputs on unnatural demographic changes, underlying factors, and abnormal settlement patterns. These inputs will assist the Committee in studying challenges related to demographic shifts and illegal immigration, analyzing structural population changes, and recommending a permanent operational system for the legal, fair, and time-bound identification, detention, and deportation of illegal immigrants, alongside measures for institutional mechanisms and border management coordination.
