It gives us immense pleasure to share that one of the project 'Monitoring dashboard to improve power supply quality[1]', which is being developed by our team for our client Prayas, Energy Group's has been selected as a finalist for the Google Impact Challenge. Winners of the Challenge will receive a Global Impact Award from Google, which ‘support entrepreneurial non-profits using technology to tackle some of the world's biggest challenges’.  

Prayas aims to address a critical issue of lack of reliable, publicly available evidence about load shedding and supply quality. As part of this project Prayas will deploy GPRS enabled ‘Electricity Supply Monitors’ that will record and publish minute by minute data about supply quality. In next three years, we will collect supply data from over 2000 locations across India. Consumers, civil societies, researchers and regulatory commissions can use this publicly available evidence to increase accountability and demand good quality of electricity supply.

We really feel great to be a part of such a innovative contribution towards the society. We look forward to work on such different ideas and concepts and make this our country a much better place to live in.
