ABSTRACT: This project aims at developing an Android mobile application that would provide personal safety to its users. As students leave the university, they travel to new places and are held responsible for their whereabouts for the first time. The process of making new acquaintances can make them vulnerable, especially when they do not notify anyone concerning their whereabouts. The increase in student abductions owing to banditry activities and the other similar groups, has led to untold hardship and instability to the life of students, their parents and the university staff at large........
