Age and gender identification have become a major part of the network, security and care. It has a common use in age specific content access for children. Social media uses it in delivering layered ads and marketing to extend it's a reach. Face recognition has developed to a great extent that we have to map it further in getting more useful results having different approaches. In this paper, we propose deep CNN to improve age and gender predication from significant results can be obtained and a significant improvement can be seen in various tasks such as face recognition. A simple convolutional network architecture is proposed to make a noticeable improvement in this field using existing methods. Using deep CNN, model is trained to an extent that accuracy of Age and Gender become 79% using HAAR Feature-based Cascade Classifiers is an effective method proposed by Paul Viola and Michael Jones. It is a machine learning based approach where a cascade function is trained from a lot of positive and negative images. It is then used to detect objects in other images.
