The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) raised concerns over widespread data falsification on the Centre's DIGI-PHARMed portal for teachers. Around 45,355 cases of duplicate or invalid profiles have been identified. There are over 42,000 pharmacy colleges with around 11.2 million pharmacists being registered with the council.
