Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the Department of Pediatrics at the Tertiary Teaching Hospital in Kolhapur Maharashtra during the Year January 2015 to December 2015. All the Neonates who were delivered at this hospital at OBGY department.

From this the incidence of congenital anomaly was calculated. Result: The incidence of congenital anomalies were 1.32% Incidence of congenital anomalies/1000 births was 13.2 %.The most common system affected was CNS 0-38.35% followed by GIT-28.76%; Musculo-Skeletal 15.06%; ENT -6.84%; GUT-6.84%; Opthalmology-4.10% and most common anomaly found was Meningomyelocele, Bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, Congenital Talipesequinovarus, Micro-otia, Hypospadiasis, Anopthalmos respectively in systems. Conclusion: In our study we have seen incidence of congenital anomalies were 1.32% Incidence of congenital anomalies/1000 births was 13.2 %The most common system affected was CNS followed by GIT, Musculo-Skeletal, ENT, GUT, Ophthalmologyand most common anomaly found was Meningomyelocele, Bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, Congenital Talipesequinovarus, Micro-otia, Hypospadiasis, Anopthalmosrespectively insystems.
