Chosen Problem Statement: In rural areas and villages, there are a lot of problems related to agriculture, education and many more. There is no well-established community through which we can share information. If technologies like social media helped us grow ourselves, there must be a community for rural and village people, to exchange information and share their opinions. So, we are building a communication platform for rural people and villagers, as well as a pool of professionals, so that people can get correct solutions to their problems by sharing their opinion. And we are aiming to solve this problem in this hackathon.

We have gained some insights from the above problem:

People have no medium of communication that can be established with other people. If people won’t communicate with each other, then the probability of a solution falls to a large extent. For example, if there is an urgent need for medicines and the medicine is not available in medical stores then we can contact other local doctors or perhaps we can check the availability of medicines in some other medical shops.

organizations or some professionals do have the solution to their problems but there is no way that how these solutions reach people. For example, some crops like rice and wheat must be grown at the correct time, as well as it is water intensive, hence soil fertility goes down. Hence different crops must be grown in different weather conditions, to improve soil fertility. But the problem is how many farmers know about this, and grow the same crops many times resulting in heavy losses.

Approach followed: People living in rural areas are facing many problems. The main thing we observed that the communication gap arises in the digital platform is because of lengthy or can processes which are not feasible for people in rural , tribal areas. So we created a direct chat box to enter a query. In addition, we also kept the 'Contact us' option for any suggestion or problem faced by in website. In the 'Dropdown' section people can share their experience and feedback which will be displayed by us in article format by us at the bottom of Home Page. For now, in bottom section, we kept some articles that are related to that field.
