A child going missing is a suffering past bearing not only for the parents and the child but for the entire community. The misery is a social hindrance that every government has tried to hitch up. There are various reasons that reinforce the computerization of a system. The chief among them is speed, accuracy, and efficiency. Machines with relevant data, fitting algorithms, and sufficient computational resources can satisfy user requirements much more effectively than the manual system with its tedious paperwork. Another prime reason is the scalability with the possibility to integrate all the subsystems involved. For a country like India, manual matching and monitoring each detail and data of a child missing is tedious if not impossible. The project titled Nest is an initiative aiming to help missing young ones find their loved ones back. Nest is an online web portal connecting Police Departments and NGOs across the country with a database to store the details of the missing and the found children, embedded with a facial recognition system to serve the purpose.
