Project Proposal


I wanted to create a project which can be used in real world to make living better. I've decided to go for making a smart pill box, offline education system for villages and creating local network for them to get them connected.

With the brain storming session we had during the week one and advice from Dr. Yogesh Kulkarni helped me a lot to take decision on consolidating the project idea. Finally discussion ended in having a project for having a virtual currency which can be implemented at Vigyan Ashram.
