    Public toilet hygiene management system
    (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2018) Chandra, Shubham; Srivastava, Sanjay; Roy, Anil K.
    Hygiene in public toilets require accurate monitoring of the gases produced as byproducts. Even if the complaint is made, the chances of getting it cleaned is very low so the problem remained unsolved. Although smart urinal pots are available in the market but deploying it in public toilet is not an affordable solution. When the toilet is in use for long run without cleaning, intensity of odor increases to unhygienic level. We propose a low cost sensor node which can be used to monitor and communicate the hygiene data to the servers. We also propose an application to collect user feedback along with the sensor readings. An algorithm which can combine both these inputs into a community benchmark hygiene rating. Database also handles the reporting and follow-ups by the civic authorities. To eliminate the calibration process of the sensor, we are proposing a system where the sensor node will learn from user feedbacks given over time. Based on the feedbacks received, we remove user bias by normalizing user input in overlapping time-stamp data. Once the user input is normalized, it will be fed as an input to calculate Odor Bandwidth Spectrum whereas output will be detailed classification of hygiene level based on the intensity of odor produced.

    Ema Keithel Commodities & Communities
    (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2018) Laishram, Yaiphahenba; Pandya, Vishvajit; Mazumdar, Madhumita
    “Ema” is a word which every people from Manipur use to call their mother, with their deepest love for them. It wouldn’t be much to say that the role play by the mother in this part of region is quite extraordinary. Despite being a patriarchal society, many women have shown that they have equal capability of supporting their family in the worst time of their life. Also, women group like “Meira paibi “take a major leading in fighting whether it is for alcohol and drug abuse, stood for civil rights or to protest against draconian AFSFA. One substantial evidence of how significant and crucial the role of women in this society can be only translate through “Ema keithel - a unique market which is run only by the women. In Manipuri, ema means mother, kei- means storage and -thel means to spread out or to sell which literally means mothers’ market or women’s market. Situated in the centre of Manipur‘s capital city Imphal, it is the only market run by the women in the entire country. Traditionally, in Manipur society women mainly do all the buying for the family from household items like vegetables, children clothes etc. to items for many occasions like marriage and festival.And soon Ema keithel became the platform for largely number of women to join the economic responsibility of the state through trade and commerce. The beautiful part of this unique market is the fact that it’s not just a mere market, more than that it is a family, a society, an identity, a tradition and most importantly a way of life . Most of the products available here reflect the true spirit of local people whether it is the skilled local craftsman or hard-working farmer. Regardless of its continuous threat from new market strategy like online shopping, one can always say that the market survive until today because of all the indigenous products which are hard to get in any other shop. Many local products are now been replaced due to lack of support. Many micro-banker use many tactic to take advantage on the ground of poor education and financial condition of these women. But one should know, each day each women find their own courage and strength to save their family and keithel for a better future. There is a need to sensitize the people about the contribution of the community in producing these commodities which are available in Ema Keithel and to see the market in a different way.

    (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2018) K, Sarath; Mazumdar, Madhumita; Kehtan, Lokesh
    The project 'AGADITHERUV E-Agri Marketing Portal' is the study of agricultural scenarios in Kannur district of Kerala and to develop a better agricultural marketing platform. The project will address the crisis and to try and find solutions through design and technology. For better communication, a portal is devised to list Sellers in advance, which will help them to find more Buyers which can help them to reduce the exploitations by middlemen. The portal also gives users access to modern farming techniques to increase their productivity and improve the quality of their produce. Through working together induce a feeling of positivity and motivate the farmers to produce more and sell all. This led to collaborative action with producers and buyers to try and create a more just system, where trade is not just to make the profit but is an exchange with a human face.

    Chalo bajaar jaiye : Ahmedabad through markets
    (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2018) Vardhan, Himanshu; Shah, Shailaja; Pandya, Vishvajit; Mazumdar, Madhumita; Desai, Nikita
    The idea of this project was to bring awareness among the tourists who are going to visit the city or the migrants who are going to shift to the city or the locals about a historic city Ahmedabad through a different dimension – the city’s old vibrant markets. During the process of literature review we figured that there were many books written on the historic city Ahmedabad which largely focused on the heritage monuments of the city. After Ahmedabad was declared as World Heritage City in July, 2017 the city’s heritage added much more value to its existence. However, according to the official documents submitted for the nomination of World Heritage City at UNESCO, Ahmedabad has been given this title primarily for its tangible heritage which includes physical artifacts and monuments of the city. But throughout the history of 600 years of the city, there have been certain cultural values and social practices which have been inherited through generations and are nothing but intangible cultural heritage of Ahmedabad. Through initial research we understood that apart from the monuments, there are some old markets of the city having certain social practices and cultural values associated with them which could at large provide a meaning to the existence of the city. Since those old markets of Ahmedabad were then built and developed around a group of people following certain ethnicities or religions or languages and gradually created an environment of people following certain cultural values and performing certain social practices these markets are full of diversities of people, commodities, traditions, languages and communities. Hence, for anyone who wishes to know Ahmedabad and its history, there should a way other than the tangible heritage information which allows him/her to know this different aspect of the city. Thus, to fill in the gap of introducing the city in various ways we came up with a solution to tell a story of the city through different perspective – through its old markets. In order to do so it was important to first understand the different attributes associated to the markets situated in the eastern part of the city Ahmedabad – old Ahmedabad as historically the city was only developed on the eastern side of the River Sabarmati; it was the time during the rule of British Crown when Ahmedabad got expanded on the west too. To known the markets in depth field visits were carried out, which brought out different aspects associated with markets like their histories, commodities, type of selling involved in different markets, types of buyers, market timings, peak hours etc. Since the target audience of our product could be either an outsider or an insider, it was important to have multiple narratives which could help them know the markets and further the city in their own ways. To achieve this, we categorised and prioritised the set of data about each market gathered from the field. The primary classification depending on the targeted audience was done based on their establishment years, commodities, locations of the markets and the types of selling (wholesale / retail / wholesale and retail both) involved in a particular market. In order to tell this story in the best possible way a medium had to be chosen which be the most feasible for such a set of information. Hence, we decided not to move ahead with the idea of designing a book as it becomes very linear for the user to read the information in such a static format. To make the information interactive and easily accessible to maximum number of users in the world, we figured that a website would be the most suitable medium to design this information. The designed product works as an informational website which generates a virtual experience of markets among the users through sounds, visuals and textual content. This website is meant to allow the user to look out for information according to his/her need. The multiple narratives structured to tell the story in different ways are: a) Through the locations of the markets in the city along with the year when they were established at those locations b) Through the categorised set of commodities sold in those markets c) Through the information on nearby markets which could be visited in a day This website can further be developed in mobile view and tablet view which would make it even easier to access for the users from anywhere on the field.
