PetCoin
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Sometimes, it is the bark of a dog or a chilling cry of a cat that grabs our attention but because it doesn’t make any difference to our lives, we forget about it the next moment. What we forget is that we, as humans, have a responsibility to help, care and pay attention to the needy and helpless creatures who depend on us. They entirely depend upon us humans to feed and nurture them so that they can live peacefully. The problem affects the entire animal population who live on the streets and roads.
SOLUTION: We created an application that will help stray animals. A platform that will allow a user to upload stray animals near their surroundings and adopt or donate to other stray animals in their city. Donation Concept: We are introducing a currency named "petCoin". We are creating a centralized donation system. Users will pay us real money and they will get petCoins accordingly. Users can use these petCoins to donate to other animals Or they can buy food for stray animals from stores ( will be explained in the next paragraph). Why this donation system is complex? If a person gets real money as a donation from someone, he/she may use it for his/her own use. This way a normal donation system will flop immediately. In this case, petCoins will work only with pet stores and hospitals. We will tie up with pet stores/hospitals which will accept petCoins and provide service and at the end of the month, we will pay stores/hospitals according to the petCoins they earned. Initially, we will implement our idea in a big city like Indore. Many people don't have time to actually go and buy food for stray animals. So we will introduce an online delivery system of pet food by tying up with the delivery company. Users will have to pay extra delivery charges for it ( with real money).
Challenges we ran into Building innovative UIs and backend.
Accomplishments that we're proud of We worked very hard and after sleepless nights we completed our project where every feature is working.
What we learned Improving backend knowledge and more about the current scenario of stray animals.
What's next for PetNation Firstly we want to implement it in one big city and observe the results and gradually take it to next level.
