Centre planning website to track lost children

Hyderabad: Union IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the Centre is working on a Website to track missing children by the use of various technologies, and citizens can also help the cause by posting photographs of children wandering on the roads.

“We see many children from poor families go missing in this country. Rich people can find their children if they go missing, but poor people are not able to do so due to poverty.

Therefore, we have decided to make a portal for lost and found kids,” he said, while speaking at the inaugural function of Tech for Seva Annual National Socio Technical Conference. He pointed out that investments in improving broadband connectivity are needed to bridge the digital divide between rural and urban areas.
