PRAVAAH

Inspiration

Born and raised around the Delhi region, my teammate Abhishek and I have witnessed the heavy dependence of local farmers on the Yamuna River, as well as the inadequate monitoring and inspection of the water used for households and farms near the river. These events inspired us to team up with fellow mates, Khushwant and Khushi, to develop a project that provides both a device to measure water quality and a web dashboard displaying cumulative results of the measured parameters.

What It Does

PRAVAAH is a unique project consisting of an IoT device equipped with sensors to monitor and inspect water quality (Temperature, pH, etc.), along with a web dashboard to display the measured results. The dashboard includes a chat-bot for farmers to easily ask questions about weather or dashboard features.

The predictive capabilities make PRAVAAH stand out. The model is pre-trained to alert users about harsh weather conditions by taking inputs from the installed IoT device.

How We Built It

Flow Chat

Challenges We Ran Into

Some challenges we encountered during the project included:

  1. Researching the requirements of the target community
  2. Training the model and collecting meteorological and IoT data
  3. Integrating live maps into the UI
  4. Chat-bot integration using Fetch AI

Accomplishments

PRAVAAH's accomplishments include:

  1. Addressing an urgent need in this domain
  2. Positively impacting a lesser-served section of society
  3. Clear vision and strong team aspirations
  4. Completing the entire project in a short timeframe

What We Learned

Working on PRAVAAH has been a deeply enriching experience for the entire team. Key takeaways include:

  1. Understanding the community's needs
  2. Integrating IoT with web technology
  3. Data collection and analysis
  4. Real-time data visualization

What’s Next for PRAVAAH

PRAVAAH aims to target local farmers and NGOs, establishing a strong presence in the field of real-time water quality monitoring and forecasting.

Within the next five years, we aim to extend PRAVAAH’s reach to regions in India with poor water quality and high dependency, such as Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Kerala, Gujarat, Odisha, West Bengal, and Karnataka.

With a production cost of ₹10,000, PRAVAAH has the potential to become a household name.

In technical terms, the project plans to integrate satellite data in the future and upgrade the machine learning model.
