Not knowing the quality of water and appropriate purification methods is a major challenge compared to accessibility to different types of purifiers. “Since approximately half, of the world’s population is still dependent on groundwater, there is a genuine need for a system that regularly monitors and pre-warns about anomalies or degradation in groundwater not just to the authorities but to the entire community around it. This is where saltwater comes in. The Saaf water platform comprises hardware and the dashboard both connected via a backend on IBM Cloud. The hardware is a cellular-enabled, low-powered, plug-and-play unit that checks for different water parameters and sends it to the IBM Watson IoT Platform. In this episode of tech for change listen to our host @offairwithkay speak with Satyam Prakash about how this AI-IoT platform is designed to regularly monitor the groundwater and effectively communicate that information — not just to the authorities, but to the community as well.

Jayant Singh, professor at IIT-Kanpur’s chemical engineering department, belongs to a family that has professionally worked in the agriculture sector for two generations. He notes that talks at home always opened discussions on how their knowledge and skills could benefit the farmer fraternity. In 2013-14, the Central government began laying emphasis on improving the soil quality in agriculture. This move motivated Jayant to conceive a convenient and easy technological tool for farmers to check soil health. In this episode of Tech for Change, listen to host @offairwithkay speak with Prof. Jayant Singh about his device the “Bhu Parikshak” (soil tester), which is a portable soil testing device that is accessible with a smartphone and helps understand the nutrient value of the soil.

There are only a few profiles that come to our mind and when we talk about the medical field like doctors and nurses, this is because of lack of awareness and because it's supply-driven and not demand. Virohan aims to bridge the gap between industry demand and the skills of the workforce by using its ‘technology skill stack’ through which Virohan predicts job demand for each job role across India, builds out the curriculum needed and delivers standardized training through blended learning across training centres. In this episode of Tech for Change, host @offairwithkay speaks with Nalin Saluja, Co-founder, Virohan talk about how they are working on reducing this gap and the role Virohan is playing in aggregating the fragmented training ecosystem in India through a plug & play installation of its technology stack at training centres to provide affordable, accessible, quality training.
