New Delhi: In a bid to trace the missing and abandoned children across the country, a mobile application called ‘ReUnite’ was launched here on Friday.

Union Minister of Commerce & Industry and Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu launched the app which has been developed by non-government organisation Bachpan Bachao Andolan and Capgemini.

Speaking on the occasion, Prabhu said that this effort to reunite parents whose children have gone missing is a wonderful use of technology to address real life social challenges.

The app is multiuser where parents and citizens can upload pictures of children, and provide detailed description like name, birth mark, address, report to the police station, search and identify missing kids. The photographs will not be saved in the mobile phone’s physical memory.

Amazon Recognition, web facial recognition service, is being used to identify missing kids. The app is available for both Android and iOS.

Nobel Laureate and founder of Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Kailash Satyarthi, was also present on this occasion.
