        <p>The proposed work is to cater to the basic humanitarian concerns that arise from the fact that fifty seven percent of the child beggars in India often go to sleep empty stomachs and inevitably become addicted to substance abuse. Also, there have been innumerable number of cases which are either non-traceable or non-registered which include kidnapping, assault, robbery, threat to life of beggars and specially girl child beggars and adult women who have also been victim to sexual abuse, child trafficking and many other threats. This fully automated smart pan is specially designed for the visually impaired and disabled panhandlers. An IR sensor has been used in the work to let the beggar know whenever someone is near them. A smell detector has also been implemented in the work to let the beggar know if anyone has food to offer to them. The flap of the pan is fully automated making it easier for a specially abled beggar to access the device. The flap's rotation is controlled by the arrival of someone near the beggar or if the tub pan is filled till the brim. An IoT module has also been implemented in this work and it plays a substantial role in providing safety and security to the beggars specially the girl child and adult women beggars. The IoT Module is used to transfer data to cloud (IP Address: 192.16.8.4.1) which can be linked to all the nearby police stations and hospitals to allow emergency help to the beggars in times of life threat.</p>

      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>
        Begging is deep-rooted social implantation in India. It is estimated through surveys and various
other means of information that approximately seventy-five percentage of the beggars are small
children and ladies. This arrangement of asking and almsgiving to vagabonds and the poor is still
broadly rehearsed in India, with more than 400,000 beggars which were reported in 2015[
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        Women and child safety is one of the most important and urgent needs of the hour. With the rise in
the number of child beggars it has become even more dangerous to avoid the issue. There are
numerous literatures that have reported work on devices fabricated for women safety. Electronic
devices utilizing Raspberry Pi, a button and GPS module have been illustrated. An app has been
integrated to the device module with login credentials. The application detects the location with the
use of the GPS module and displays the details on the application [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        The security of women matters a ton inside houses, outside or workplaces. There are a lot of
devices and policies that have been implemented especially for women safety and security purposes.
One such implementation was a footwear chip that adhered to the footwear of the individual and once
activated, it sends the live location of the person to the police stations. A heart beat sensor was also
used to record the pulse rate of the individual and if the foot was hit hard, an emergency message was
sent to the police station [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        A wearable gadget for the security and assurance of ladies has been reported. The goal is
accomplished by the examination of physiological signs related to body position. The physiological
signs that are examined are galvanic skin opposition and internal heat level [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        Despite the fact that numerous innovations have been presented for ladies actually capturing,
eveprodding, and inappropriate behavior are occurring in our country. At the point when the ladies face
unstable circumstances, to guarantee security, a programmed location framework needs to be set up
which sends an alarm message that incorporates the area of the police division. This should be
possible by detecting different factors like strange sounds, body responses like shuddering, fearing,
and heartbeat which can be detected utilizing a sensor and to give the ready message. In this paper,
authors studied the current instrument for distinguishing areas, sending interchanges, and gathering
actual boundaries of the human body utilizing sensors [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        A wearable gadget was developed keeping in mind the safety and security of ladies. Internet of
Things (IoT) was the key implementation feature in the device. It could be worn as a ring making it
easily portable for the consumer. Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi cameras were used in the
device for tracking purposes [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>To reduce the problem of travelling faced by the visually impaired person on a daily basis, a
device in the shape of eyeglasses was thought of which could guide and also protect the individual. A
multi sensor fusion based algorithm was used. It avoided small obstacles. Three kinds of cues were
implemented in the device for the blind people to go ahead on any of them to reach out to their
destination safely. Several low-cost sensors were developed and tested for accuracy and efficiency
before implementation. Hence, this device provides a smooth experience to the consumer. [7]</p>
      <p>
        Ongoing advances in cell phones and moderate open-source equipment stages have empowered the
improvement of ease designs for IoT empowered indoor house mechanization and security
frameworks. The framework typically comprises detecting and activating layers which consist of
sensors like uninvolved infrared sensors, otherwise called movement sensors, smoke sensors,
temperature sensors and web cameras for security reconnaissance. These sensors, electrical
apparatuses and IoT gadgets interface with the Internet through a home entryway [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>The gadget-to-gadget correspondence worldview in 5G organizations gives a powerful framework
to empower distinctive brilliant city applications like public security. In future savvy urban areas,
thick sending of remote sensor organizations (WSNs) can be incorporated with 5G organizations
utilizing Device to Device(D2D) correspondence. The D2D correspondence empowers direct
correspondence between close-by-client gear (UEs) utilizing cell or impromptu connections,
consequently improving the range use, framework throughput, and energy proficiency of the
organization [9].</p>
      <p>
        The security of ladies is the main concern nowadays and building a wellbeing gadget to go about
as salvage and to forestall harm at the hour of danger is profoundly vital. In this paper, authors have
reported a savvy gadget for ladies' security that mechanizes the crisis ready framework by utilizing a
pressing factor sensor, pulse-rate sensor and a temperature sensor to recognize a potential outrage
naturally utilizing exception identification [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>The proposed system is described in Section 2, which gives a brief idea about the working
procedure of the prototype. The experimental setup and hardware specifications are explained in
detail in the sections 3 and 4 respectively. The results and observations are provided in Section 5. The
next section consists of a conclusion.</p>

      <title>3. Experimental Setup</title>
      <p>An IR Sensor is used to detect if someone has arrived near the beggar. An MQ2
smell/smoke sensor is used to detect if someone is providing food to the beggar. A servo
motor is used at the surface of the pan to automatically operate whenever the pan is full or
someone has arrived to offer money. An additional pump motor is attached to the pan to
allow the beggar to drink water anywhere anytime in cases of emergency. An IoT Module is
used to transfer data to cloud (IP Address) which can be used in future to link nearby police
stations and hospitals to allow emergency help to the beggars. An LCD screen displays a
small message whenever the pan is full or smell is detected for the deaf or disabled beggar to
know automatically.

      <title>5. Results and Discussion</title>
      <p>In Figure 4, the LCD displays the required message according to the condition:
i. pan empty/ pan full.
ii. smell detected/ no smell detected</p>
      <p>The LCD display is connected to the Arduino. The LCD displays these messages based on the
signals received from the MQ2 sensor which detects if smell is detected. This would allow the
specially abled person to know the status of the pan easily.</p>
      <p>The MQ2 sensor (figure 5) detects the smell of food and allows the pump motor to start. When
someone offers food to the beggar, the smell detector detects the smell of food and rotates the motor
drivers in vertical motion forcing the flaps to automatically close as no money is being offered to put
inside the pan. The water motor also starts functioning so as to allow the beggar to drink water from
anywhere if thirsty.</p>
      <p>Moreover, as soon as someone arrives near the panhandler, the flap opens automatically allowing
the person to dump in the money in any form, coins or currency notes. Once the person leaves and the
money is dumped inside the pan, the flap automatically closes making it out from the reach of
robbery.</p>
      <p>The IoT module (figure 6) sends the same message to the cloud which can be viewed through the
IP address 192.168.4.1. The IoT module allows the same message as displayed on the LCD screen to
reach out on the above server.</p>

    <sec id="sec-6">
      <title>7. References</title>
      <p>The proposed system is implemented efficiently and is used to fulfill the requirements of the
beggar in all aspects possible. The servo motor rotates the flap automatically if someone arrives near
the beggar to offer money or food. The smell detector detects the smell of food if anyone offers and
sends a signal to the servo motor to rotate and open the flap automatically. The water pump motor is
also activated once the smell is detected to provide water to the beggar. The emergency button when
pressed by the panhandler sends an emergency message to the cloud which can also be linked to the
nearby police stations and hospitals to provide help in times of emergency. Overall, this work is
highly beneficial to our society.</p>
