The Indian Institute of Technology’s National Service Scheme (NSS) has launched an in-house mobile app – ‘NSS IIT Delhi’. This app is designed to revolutionise youth engagement and social impact.
The app will help the IIT Delhi students who like to be NSS volunteers to identify the nearest project sites, track their volunteering hours, and connect with fellow volunteers.
With the IIT Delhi NSS App, India’s youth are mobilizing with a single tap of a finger, demonstrating the ability of technology to magnify social good. It’s a tale of passion, purpose, and the transforming power of young minds coming together for a better tomorrow in addition to code and algorithms.
Additionally, the team has improved the tracking of blood donation requests and scribe requests. As a result, students can now view posted requests directly and use the integrated map within the app to view the location and route.
Thousands of people registered for the app within days of its release, and it currently has a 5-star and 4.9-star rating in the App Store and Google Play, respectively. The app’s lead developer, a student programmer named Abhishek, says, “We wanted something simple, accessible, and engaging.” “Something that would speak to our generation and make doing good deeds like volunteering seem natural.”
“The app has made volunteering so much more accessible,” says Sudhanshu, a young student who was astounded by how user-friendly it was. “I can look into projects that are going on around me, and getting involved and changing things is simple. It’s amazing that I can now view my completed hours in real-time.”
