    Save Rivers : An interactive website for Betwa Utthan organization in Vidisha (M.P)
    (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2022) Agarwal, Anusha; Mazumdar, Madhumita
    In our present time the river pollution is one of the biggest problems in our world. It�s mainly because of illegal dumping, industrialization and agriculture. Moreover, the people don�t know how to treat their sewage waste and dispose of it in a safe way. Almost all rivers nowadays start to suffer from this problem. Differences between the past, right now and the future may be big. If we compared our mind now with that of forty years ago we would see that they were more different than they are now. This is because urbanization and spreading of civilization has enabled us to obtain facilities which were not present in the past. Though these facilities have made life easier for us, there are some changes which are not positive because they have caused problems to our environment. It has been a problem for decades, but it has become more common as more people move closer to river sources. Water pollution occurs when harmful chemicals or substances such as oil, bacteria, or radiation enter water. If these contaminants are not removed from the water supply, they can cause serious health problems. The main reason why we are polluting our rivers is lack of awareness. Our society is so much dependent on our rivers that they have become a part of our lifestyle, but we aren't aware of the fact that we need to take proper care and attention of these precious resources. There are many solutions to this problem such as educating people about this matter, setting up more recycling centers around big cities or nearrivers etc. These solutions may change people�s attitudes towards water pollution if implemented well enough. The Betwa river in Madhya Pradesh, India is one of the major tributaries of the Yamuna .The river was once clean and pure but it is no more so. The problem is that using the river in this manner has had a huge impact on the health of the river because instead of objects made largely of mud and stone, today we use ceramic, plaster of paris, and plastic which do not break down as easily in the river.

    Agrim : An Interactive Application For Farmer's Assistance to Avail Government schemes.
    (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2022) Kadegia, Ajay; Mazumdar, Madhumita; Pandya, Vishvajit
    Agriculture is a vital industry for the Indian economy, it's not only a way of earning but so has been a way of living since ancient times.Saurashtra, Gujarat is one such region, dominated by Agriculture. Here, I am focusing on Sindhpur village, taluka Kutiyana, and District Porbandar as a Subject area of my Project. Farmers of this village still practice traditional seasonal farming; though they have adopted modern equipment like tractors, harvesters, hybrid seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. Benefits from Government schemes have been a part of their support structure and economy. But to apply for any government scheme it's a very difficult and time-consuming task. The farming community often struggles with this as it may need understanding regarding pre-requisites, Eligibility, documents, or digital competence to apply for it. Even some basic information can make a huge difference. It can save time, farmers can plan as well as be prepared ahead. The government has made an online web-based portal for farmers named I - Khedut portal, it is aimed to get information. And apply to the open schemes. But farmers rarely use it, Because it�s complex, hard to navigate, requires multiple inputs, as well as the information given, is very legal and formal. It makes this whole experience discouraging for farmers. As a result, there is a void of information which creates a communication gap between the government and farmers. To address this communication gap, we need to provide information in a manner that farmers can understand it. On a medium that is familiar, widely acceptable, and which can be repeatedly approached for future use. Also, it should be able to host a large amount of information. The proposed solution is a smartphone-based application in the native language. Many different medium was explored and discussed before finalizing the application. As it is the best way possible in the current scenario.
