Abstract :
In university campuses, students and faculty frequently misplace personal belongings, and the current methods
of reporting and recovering such items—such as physical notice boards or informal communication—are often inefficient
and unreliable. This project proposes a web-based Lost and Found system tailored for university environments. The
application enables users to post details of lost or found items, search through existing entries using filters, and receive
notifications for matching items. An admin panel ensures the verification and management of item posts, thereby
maintaining platform integrity. The system is designed to streamline the lost and found process, reduce item loss, and
enhance campus community engagement through a digital, secure, and user-friendly interface.
