New govt portal to track missing kids

Khoyapaya.gov.in is the brainchild of PM Narendra Modi which will have information regarding missing and found children.

The Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) and Department of Electronics and Information Technology launched a website for tracking missing children on Tuesday.

Khoyapaya.gov.in is the brainchild of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had in last June asked officers to create a portal where citizens could upload information about missing children.

Khoya Paya will have information regarding missing and found children. Speaking on the occasion, WCD Minister Maneka Gandhi said: “We have another portal named ‘Track Child’ that belongs to the Ministry of Home Affairs, but in that portal only police communicate with police. So it is a limited portal, whereas in the new portal everybody can participate.”

She added that as per the information provided by the National Crime Records Bureau, the number of missing children every year is nearly 70,000.

So, a citizen-based website for children can really be helpful in locating the missing ones, Maneka said.
