CSR Contributions

I participated in Accion's CSR initiative - Graminno. It attempted to establish a self-sufficing model and facilitate internal communication and surveillance of a remote village - Atale, Maharashtra which lied in cellular shadow zone.

We built a mobile application using React Native which facilitated personal and group chatting features, along the side also engaging with deployed Camera modules to capture remote field pictures.

This was deployed over a WIFI network which remained private to the village and decentralized servers were setup using Raspberry Pi modules running Node.js scripts and OrbitDB instances, all powered with solar energy.
