There are various reasons responsible for these missing children which may include theft, trafficking, run away, kidnapping etc.
The Government, in the Ministry of Women and Child Development, has commenced implementation of project namely ‘TrackChild’ in the country, which is aimed at maintaining real time data of all children availing rehabilitation services under the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS). The software also provides for setting up a National Portal containing details of missing children reported in Police Stations. The portal would facilitate matching of the children availing services under the Scheme with the reported missing children.
This was stated by Smt. Krishna Tirath, Minister for Women and Child Development, in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha on February 27, 2013.
