Union Ministry of Women & Child Development has developed the National Website 'Missing Children Tracking System' (MCTS) for tracing missing children. The Website will not only have data on missing children but it will also have live database to monitor the progress of the children in the child care institutions.

A government spokesman told at Chandigarh that Govt. of India has decided to implement the project initially on a pilot basis in the Union Territory of Chandigarh. The team of Union Ministry of Women & Child Development will organize a training programme on 20th June, 2012 to impart necessary training to the functionaries of Police Personnel, Child Help Line, SARA, Incharges of various Homes, Members of Juvenile Justice Board and Child Welfare Committee at Chandigarh.

He said that National Informatics Centre (NIC) has been developing Software Recruitment Specifications for creating a uniform MCTS System, which will be replicated in those states where there is no system for tracing missing children and it will also undertake a gap analysis of various existing systems to develop bridging software to link it up with the National Portal.
