CROWD SOURCING
INDIA'S CHALLENGES
Let's Solve India's
Real Problems - Together.
Welcome to India's Challenges – a people-powered repository crowdsourcing real, everyday problems from every corner of Bharat. Inspired by the grassroots spirit of innovation, this platform lets anyone – from a Varanasi road sweeper snapping clogged drains to a Bihar farmer voicing flood woes – submit issues via simple photos, voice notes, or low-bandwidth messages in local languages.
Entries are categorized (sanitation, health, transport, agriculture, and more), geo-tagged, and prioritized by AI for high-impact, solvable ideas. Local schools, colleges, panchayats, and communities adopt challenges, turning them into tinkering projects, prototypes, and real solutions.
