Tirunelveli District Administration conducted GovTechThon - An Open Innovation Challenge 2.0.
Out of 576 teams that participated, they selected top 25 teams who outperformed the rest. We were one among them. We were also invited to attend the bootcamp session which was power packed. There came an announcement of the short-listed finalists where we were the top 12 teams. We went an extra-mile to solve the real problem. After finding the relevant schemes that suit you, you still have to go stand in line to apply for the same. So, we created a paperless end to end booking system where citizens can apply online, and officials can process online, and function online. An easy experience. Instead of just sticking to the given problem statement, we went beyond, ran that extra mile to not only keep us distinctive, but also innovative. We were also awarded for the same and featured in.
I made the Admin Panel and the API for the frontend clients : Mobile and React Web using NodeJS. We got 2nd Place for our given Problem Statement.
But after a few months we found out that the Central Govt, took our approach and launched myscheme.gov.in which made us happy and proud.
It wasn't possible without my team of amazing people,
Dharun Prasad, Sriram J Ram, Krithish Kumar, Myself, Kausik MR (in the Photo from left to right wearing Vizdale Tees) and Reshma Khan (not in the photo).
