data repository•Matching of “Missing” and “Recovered”

Children/Persons•Computer Literacy

Steps to be taken to meet the Challenges• Process re-engineering simplify reporting

procedure• Government order for capturing details of

missing/found cases in a “definite timeframe”• Use of physical identity features like special

marks• Provision to capture multiple identification marks

and features• Training and handholding through ICT Campaigns• Capturing of Counselling Information to make

complete Case History

Key Success Factors

•100% reporting of Cases•Data capturing at Primary Source and

timely updation•Creation of Infrastructure for

stakeholders•Govt order to ensure use of the system by

stakeholders•Sensitization of every stakeholder and

Impact of ICT Interventions• Recording of more than 30,000 cases of “Missing

Children” during the last three years• Reporting of “Missing Children” increased 30 times

due to ICT interventions at various level (500-15,000 yearly)

• More recovery and re-integration has started happening

• Monitoring mechanism becomes more effective• Police Order issued to make reporting mandatory for

all Missing/Recovery cases• An effective Planning & Decision Making tool• SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is being

extended to record “Investigation” of all “Missing” cases

Technical Issues

•Infrastructure•Solution Architecture•Bandthwith •Training

National Rollout

• Easily scalable to all 15,000 Police Stations and all JJ Homes (Govt. & Non-Govt) and ICPS bodies

• Integration of other stakeholders like NGOs, Citizens to effectively collaborate with major stakeholders possible

• Use of CSCs for effective delivery of services at the grassroot level

• Integration of “Aadhar”• Integration of Citizens’ database• Integration with students database (School going

children) to find a possible matching against a “Recovered” child

• Technological exploration of automatic matching of photographs

• Continuous capacity building for all stakeholders
