India is primarily recognized as an agricultural nation; the country relies on groundwater to meet with basic water needs of the farmers. An increasing population, decreasing land-based resources, and progressing urbanization have intensified the demand for bore wells. In areas where water is scarce, the main supply of water is provided by borewells. However, many depleted boreholes remain open. These borewells have started to cause the loss of many innocent lives. The rescue of a child from a bore well is considered a labor-intensive, multistep procedure requiring a high level of workforce. According to reports from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), more than 40 children have lost their lives since 2009 due to inadvertent falls into borewells, and traditional methods have resulted in the failure of more than 70% of rescue attempts. An array of IoTbased systems has been developed to address this issue. This paper presents an overview of various solutions that have been introduced to tackle the problems associated with rescuing children from bore wells.
