“Mera Pyara” is a Government-supported initiative that operates digitally to streamline the searching and reunification of missing vulnerable persons, such as children and the elderly, in Pakistan. Mera Pyara was set up under the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) and runs through the Virtual Center for Child Safety. This novel project is transforming the public safety and child protection paradigm in Pakistan. It was started by Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif, who made her the pioneer of a virtual child protection system in the country.
With its initial accomplishment in Punjab, the program is gradually being extended to cover the other provinces of Pakistan, seeking to reunite families through technology and social collaboration.
With thousands of people going missing across different age groups in the country every year, the introduction of a centralized, Government-controlled digital tracking and reporting system was well overdue. Mera Pyara fills this critical gap by offering an integrated, real-time system that leverages:
The core aim of Mera Pyara is to ensure that no child or elderly and disabled individual is lost, abandoned, or uncared for elderly people remain forgotten without proper attention for an extensive period.
Mera Pyara not only serves as a database, but it also serves as the foundation for a movement. The use of technology alongside community-driven initiatives differs from conventional lost-and-found systems. Below are the distinguishing features:
Individuals who have their pictures taken can then be identified based on pictures stored in a database through face recognition software.
Posters of missing people are instantaneously generated and distributed via WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Police reports, welfare organizations, and citizens are merged into a single database from within the organization.
Reporting a created or solved case can be performed through the Mera Pyara online portal or the call center via the 15 helpline (Press 3 for case reporting).
The platform works in an orderly way. It uses steps to simplify complex tasks:
A missing person report can be filed for a child, an elderly person, or someone who has no identity.
The platform works in collaboration with welfare agencies and police to gather photos, last seen, and other relevant information for identification. The collection of such information is done in real time.
The uploaded information goes through the program AI processes that find facial matches from images stored in the national database to recognize them, if possible.
Visual posters are created and shared instantly on social platforms, where they can go viral quickly. NGO’s, community, local media, and others help spread the word further.
Authorities confirm a match with the family for verification, and then the individual is returned home safely.
As of the latest records:
In accordance with many, the aid of social media towards sharing the cause has been tremendously helpful. The community has responded to the call with journalists to volunteer and to actively get involved from civil society institutions.
Everything achieved so far goes to show how much the platform can change an individual’s life and how powerful it can be in reuniting families.
Every resident of Pakistan is able to report a missing person as well as a found person through the Mera Pyara system. These individuals can be:
All reports can be made anonymously, meaning that apprehensive citizens can also decide to take action without the need to reveal their identity.
Mera Pyara started in Punjab but has now reached other regions such as:
Now with the addition of other provinces into the system, Pakistan has taken a huge step forward towards a national integrated system for missing and found persons that is safe and compassionate.
Mera Pyara can be helpful in many real-life emergencies, such as:
In all these scenarios, prompt reporting in Mera Pyara aids in reducing the time taken for a lot of effort to locate the child or elderly person.
Campaigns for Mera Pyara are based on public information and community collaboration. Therefore, they aim at reporting people with missing posters, as well as, their distribution, responsible sharing on social media, etc.
Collaboration between the public and the government harnesses what technology cannot. Public faith, caring, and responsiveness will always be at the heart of the continuing effectiveness of Mera Pyara.
Mera Pyara is supervised by the Virtual Center for Child Safety, and it is one of the first flagship initiatives of CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s child-protection programs. The government has assured that the platform will be:
Report it immediately through the Mera Pyara Portal or by calling 15 and pressing 3. Reporting early increases the chances of recovering the person.

You can reach the nearest police station or file a report through the Mera Pyara hotline and portal. Try to keep the person calm and safe until professional help arrives.
Timeframes differ from case to case, but the automated data processing and facial recognition tools of Mera Pyara cut down significantly on search time.
