IIT Delhi Launches App For Community Service; Check Details Here

New Delhi: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has developed a mobile application which will help in mobilizing students to volunteer for community service. The app launched in line with the National Service Scheme's (NSS) innovative initiative of IIT Delhi has been named ‘NSS IIT Delhi’. 

The app has been developed to help IIT Delhi students who like to be NSS volunteers to register, find projects near them, track their volunteer hours, and connect with fellow volunteers – all on a user-friendly platform. 

“The application is as easy as sending a WhatsApp message,” the IIT Delhi said. "We wanted something simple, accessible, and engaging. Something which resonates with our generation and makes volunteering an effortless act of kindness," Abhishek, a student of IIT Delhi who led the app's development said.

“Debugging code, brainstorming features, making the app more inclusive for every IITian and meticulously perfecting the user experience – these techies wore their sleep deprivation like badges of honor,” the official statement added.

Within days of launch, thousands of registrations flooded in, with a 4.9-star rating in Google Play and 5-star in the App store, painting a vibrant digital map of volunteers eager to contribute. The development has been made possible with constant inputs from the Office of the Dean of Students and the Computer Service Centre (CSC).

The official press release mentions that the app has made it easier to track blood donation requests and scribe requests, so the students can directly see the requests posted and can also look at the location and route through the map integrated on the App itself.

The App has a map of the campus with live tracking and the numbers of all the important contacts, like the Institute’s Security Control Room, Hospital, Ambulance and many more. But wait, that’s not all. The app has also provided fun hangouts like Rajdhani, night messes, and other outlets at IIT Delhi.
