When did the Government of India pass the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act to stop the practice of female foeticide?
1994
To check sex-selective abortion and the declining child sex ratio, Parliament enacted the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act in 1994.
It came into force in 1996 and prohibits the use of ultrasound and other techniques for determining the sex of the foetus.
In 2003 it was amended and renamed the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act to also cover sex selection before conception.
Hence, 1994.
