BSNL broadband application through crowd sourcing

There is a gap between the firm and the applicants due to obvious reasons. The purpose of this scheme is to assist a user to put up his broadband application hassle-free and enable the BSNL to see location-wise applicant density. With more applicants from a location, they can prioritise the deployment or instruct the franchisee to expedite the deployment before some private ISPs allure the applicants. 

It has two interfaces:

  1. A mobile/web app for the applicants
  2. Dashboard for BSNL

Mobile/Web App

The authorisation is based on Aadhaar number and OTP. The user can select their building location, provide the details and apply. A single Aadhaar user can apply only once. They can edit or delete their application. They can also see the status of the application. 

Dashboard for BSNL

With the dashboard, the firm can get insights on the applicant density in a locality/region/state, the status of a specific application, etc. 
There can be red, green and yellow dots for pending, provided and issue statuses. A map layer of the existing connections may be useful. The UI should be intuitive.

2021 resolution

My last year's resolution was a simple one. "No clothes purchase for a year". I was well stick on that resolution. 

This year I am going to focus on my health. We need to be more conscious about health as we get older. I have issues with my sleep. My cholesterol levels are slightly high. Obesity is another issue for me. I'm been exercising for a while but I have not been able to make it a habit yet. I have a plan for that. Do not take off from exercise for two consecutive days.

In a couple of weeks, I will be leaving Chennai for Trivandrum. Hope I could follow good health habits at my home state. 

"Happy New Year"
