FarmWorks

Inspiration

As we belong to a farming background we have seen the farmers facing problems in hiring skilled labours during cultivation season. Every crop requires a different skill set of labour to cultivate the crop. Due to less availability and high demand of skilled labours the production of crop is highly affected. Due to low availability and high demand the labours charge more for their services.

What it does

->User-friendly platform for connecting farmers and labours. ->Farmers can post their job ands the contractor and labour can give offer and communicate with the farmer directly through chat-box. ->Affordable labour services due to the elimination of third-party in the process. ->This platform verifies the users using Aadhar card verification.

How we built it

We are going to build a seamless design and user-friendly interface to increase the ease of use. Technologies used: 1.React - to build frontend interface 2.Tailwind CSS - to provide styling to the interface

Javascript - to handle API calls
Express.js - to setup backend server
Node.js - use to implement all backend logic
Mongoose - to establish communication between the database
JsonWebToken - for authentication and authorization for users
MongoDB - database to store all information of user
Sanity.io - for chat functioning
Python - to enable AI functioning.

Challenges we ran into

1.Creating a platform having all the complicated functionalities yet a very easy-to-use interface to be accessed by not well educated farmers and labours. 2.Developing a bilingual interface (Hindi/English) to create a accessible and comfortable environment for all the users. 3.To determine the right technologies for our website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are an agriculture based country , consisting of 60% of population as farmers .By developing this website we are solving one of the biggest rising problems faced by the farmers of our country. We are proud of being a part of such a cause that is able to uplift the farmers by providing affordable labours to the fields which in turn increase the per-capita income of the majority.

What we learned

->Thorough knowledge of web development. ->Problems faced by the farmers. ->Explored new technologies.

What's next for FarmWorks

->Overtime we can improvise our platform from a labour base platform to a market place where the farmer can sell their crops. ->Providing your land for farming to others. ->Delivering and renting farming essentials at doorstep.
