BDRI is the incorporated unit of FCRF, founded in the year 2001, to document the incidences of birth defects in India. The estimated baseline prevalence of birth defects would facilitate the concerned authorities evolve appropriate strategies to prevent birth defects in the nation.

A birth defect, as defined by the March of Dimes is, "functional or structural, - that presents in infancy or later in life and is caused by events preceding birth, whether inherited or acquired". In India, due to epidemiological transition, a significant proportion of infant mortality could be due to birth defects that occur in fetal or neonatal period. Early detection of a developmental problem, right diagnosis and medical advice help the families resort to appropriate action and plan subsequent pregnancies.
It is understood that data on the magnitude of birth defects is essential to not only plan preventive strategies, but also create systems to provide supportive care for the affected individuals and families. This can be achieved only through a systemic birth defects surveillance program.
