About the Project — FarmSeva

Inspiration

FarmSeva was inspired by the real challenges faced by Pig and Poultry farmers in India—delayed disease reporting, lack of early warnings, poor access to government schemes, and over-dependence on middlemen. During field discussions and case studies, we realized that information delay, not lack of resources, causes the maximum losses. FarmSeva was built to close this gap using technology that works even in low-internet rural environments.


What We Learned

  • Designing offline-first systems using SMS is crucial for rural impact
  • Translating real-world farming practices into data-driven risk models
  • Building scalable dashboards for multiple stakeholders (farmers, vets, admins)
  • Integrating external systems like Google Sheets, Apps Script, and SMS gateways
  • Importance of UX accessibility for non-technical users

We also learned how to design government-ready, deployment-grade systems, not just prototypes.


How We Built It

FarmSeva was built as a full-stack web platform with real-time analytics and notification systems.

  • Farmers submit biosecurity and farm data
  • A risk scoring engine computes outbreak probability using the formula:

Overall Risk = (Disease Risk + Climate Risk + (100 − Biosecurity Score)) / 3

  • Government schemes and outbreak data are synced via Google Sheets
  • Apps Script + Next.js APIs trigger SMS alerts instantly
  • Dashboards visualize trends using charts for informed decisions

The system supports Farmers, Veterinarians, Admins, and Buyers through role-based access.


Challenges We Faced

  • Sending real-time alerts from Google Sheets to a local dev server
  • Designing accurate yet simple risk scoring logic
  • Ensuring SMS delivery speed during bulk broadcasts
  • Managing Row Level Security (RLS) in Supabase for admin workflows
  • Building a clean UX suitable for both hackathon juries and rural users
  • The Entire Frontend is developed using the UI/UX 4G System design 2.0 pack prescribed by the government of India

Each challenge pushed us to build smarter, more resilient solutions.
