Project Definition

With the vision of ‘Technology to Masses’, the project aims to make veterinary services in rural India more efficient with Decision making, scheduling & planning aids.

Approach

The successful utilization of ICT to bridge the ‘Digital Divide’ with Study-Analyze-Design(SAD) approach is at the core to provide efficient veterinary services to rural people & their cattle. The lack of proper decision making support, record keeping, planning, resource management in current system seems the driving forces of the needs/problems.

- Decision making support time, services & resources like doctors, cure centers
- Record keeping & database
- To solve 40%-20%-40% problem
- Interaction of cattle owner with dairy as well Scheduling the visit of doctor

simaltaneously, we are thinking of possible design ideas & validating it with study.
