Seva Sankalp App Empowers Citizens Through Real-Time Feedback and Participation
Aatmnirbhar Sena's upcoming public utility initiative, Seva Sankalp App, is all set to bridge the gap between citizens and their elected representatives. The Seva Sankalp App will authorize the users to rate MPs, MLAs, and Mukhiyas based on their performance. In addition to this, they can also file civic or governance-related complaints in real time. There is an increasing public demand for responsive governance along with the presence of transparency in the system. The Seva Sankalp App is centred around a shift towards data-driven citizen feedback mechanisms. This app will facilitate users to assess elected public representatives across a range of performance metrics, encompassing constituency development work, attendance in parliament, public interaction, and issue redressal efforts. The developers behind the initiative clarify that the app has nothing to do with political ideologies, but it just serves as a citizen-inclined tool for participatory governance. Through the Seva Sankalp App, users will get the facility to file complaints related to delayed government services, challenges pertaining to local infrastructure, etc. Each complaint is addressed and directed to the concerned representative or department, encouraging timely redressal. Experts have the opinion that such platforms could work as the key instruments in tracking representative performance while also creating pressure on the officials to stay consistently active in their constituencies. The Seva Sankalp App by Aatmnirbhar Sena is anticipated to be available in multiple Indian languages to ensure accessibility across diverse demographic and regional groups. As per a policy brief published by the Centre for Demographic Reforms, digital rating tools can raise the quality of accountability and debate in electoral politics if developed ethically and protected from misuse. The Seva Sankalp app is being viewed as part of a significant movement to reclaim civic agency, especially among rural voters, youth, and first-time participants in the political process. This app is said to have built-in checks to avoid defamatory content and encourages ratings based on verifiable data and local ground reports. In his remark regarding the impact of civic technology, Venugopal Naidu Puvvada, Trustee and Mentor- Technology and Startups, Aatmnirbhar Sena, stated, 'The citizens of Bharat seek everyday accountability. When they are given the tools to express their concerns and pain points and evaluate their representatives, democracy becomes a living, breathing force. The Seva Sankalp app is a step in that direction, towards participatory governance, informed dialogue, and transparency in the leadership.' Venugopal Naidu Puvvada, who is a known name in the Tech and AI space, further added, 'Technology has the power to strengthen the roots of democracy. The Seva Sankalp App encourages a culture of active civic participation. Just think, what will happen when every local issue reaches a higher level of scrutiny? We believe that the public wants solutions to their problems rather than conversations. The Seva Sankalp App is built for the Public's Samasya ka Samadhan and will act as the democratic report card.' As the democratic space continues to flourish, initiatives such as Seva Sankalp will be the game changer for deepening democracy beyond the ballot box.

Venugopal Naidu Says Hindrise's Disaster App Will Change the Game for Rural Citizens
Hindrise Social Welfare Foundation is all set to launch a Disaster Relief Mobile App. The unnamed app is hailed as a game-changer for rural citizens by Venugopal Naidu Puvvada, Managing Trustee of Hindrise. The purpose of launching this Disaster App is to save lives through timely interventions. Illuminating about the Disaster Relief Mobile App, Venugopal Naidu Puvvada said, 'We are planning to launch this revolutionary app in disaster response for Bharat. Our goal is to connect 10 crore rural citizens with real-time alerts, helpline access, and rescue planning using just a simple smartphone interface. We are eyeing AI-driven disaster mapping to pinpoint high-risk zones.' Bridging the Urban-rural Rescue Gap India's rural belts, especially in disaster-prone states such as Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Odisha and West Bengal, have long suffered from weak disaster communication frameworks. Floods, sudden earthquakes, heatwaves, and cyclones frequently hit these regions, yet response times and early warning systems have been grossly inadequate. The Hindrise Disaster App aims to change this existing scenario by offering 24×7 real-time alerts for floods, earthquakes, heatwaves, and lightning strikes, offline functionality in low-network zones, One-tap SOS system that connects to nearby volunteers and district authorities, AI-powered disaster mapping, and language support in 13 regional tongues Narendra Kumar, Chairman of the Board at Hindrise, said, 'We have conducted a survey in Bihar and Jharkhand on ground level, and the response by the masses surprised us and exceeded all our expectations. More than 5000 citizens have shown their interest in Hindrise's Disaster Relief Mobile App. This app is going to be our answer to rural helplessness. We will deploy 1,000+ volunteers in high-risk zones and aim to build a pan-India disaster response grid. This Disaster Response App will function as the nervous system of that grid. This app will be a part of our initiative, Built-in Bharat, for Bharat.' The app will be co-developed in partnership with grassroots tech innovators from IIT-BHU and disaster experts from the NIDM (National Institute of Disaster Management) with expert backing from Hindrise IT Cell. Venugopal Naidu Puvvada said, 'After the launch and smooth run of this app, we expect approximately 41% improvement in flood evacuation speed and around 50% increase in early warning reach through the app notifications and community alerts. Through Hindrise Social Welfare Foundation, we plan to roll out this app across 13 disaster-prone states, including Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh. We hope rural citizens will welcome this emergency responder in their pocket.' A New Era in Rural Resilience In the end, Narendra Kumar left a powerful message, 'If we can reach 10 lakh families by Monsoon 2026, we will prevent what used to be unavoidable tragedies. As Sitamarhi in Bihar is my birthplace, I've closely witnessed the impact of floods and other disasters. I can understand the pain families go through when they encounter such a situation. Losing loved ones due to a lack of awareness is unfortunate and can be avoided. Thus, through Hindrise Social Welfare Foundation, we are coming up with the Disaster Response App that will be unveiled and named soon.' As climate disasters grow in scale and frequency, Hindrise's Disaster Response App could well mark the beginning of a new era in India's rural resilience powered by local heroes, tech innovation, and the will to never let silence cost another life.

Guided by the vision of the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and the Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, the meeting underscored a unified mission to build a $1 trillion gau-based rural economy rooted in cow protection and organic agriculture. It was a high-impact step toward aligning policy, people, and purpose with India's traditional strengths.

He said, "We talked about the sustainable management of 12 lakh+ cattle across Uttar Pradesh. Additionally, we highlighted the potential of promoting organic farming through the use of cow dung as a viable alternative to chemical inputs. Also, we had a discussion about our ongoing Gau Rashtra Yatra and how it will tell the story of Gaupaalaks and Gausevaks across the country. We further drew his attention towards the development of Panchgavya-based rural entrepreneurship hubs. It will encourage more youth towards the path of dairy farming." The Right Balance between Gauseva and Technology During the meeting, a discussion took place about striking the right balance between Gauseva and technology. Adding to the momentum was the involvement of Venugopal Naidu Puvvada, Trustee and National Coordinator- Tech and Innovation at Rashtriya Gau Sevak Sangh. He said, "We presented our AI-first dairytech platform, Dairykhata, built for the empowerment of dairy farmers in rural and semi-urban areas. We kept our mission in front of Shyam Bihar that we want every gaushala to become a micro-enterprise. When we digitize even 10% of Indian gaushalas, the social and economic ripple effect could touch millions of rural lives. Through Dairykhata, we are aiming to revolutionize the way gaushalas and dairy farms run in our country, and its impact is going to be remarkable in the next 10 years." "We brought the picture of full-scale digitalization of government and trust-run Gaushalas in front of Shyam Bihari Gupta and creation of a tech-integrated Gauseva ecosystem with end-to-end support. He was impressed by our initiative, and he promised to extend support in every possible way." Venugopal Naidu Puvvada concluded after this statement. Cow Protection and Gau-aadharit Arthvyavastha Narendra Kumar, Founder and National Convener of RGSS and Hindrise, known for his strategic approach to cow protection and rural development, highlighted the immediate need to replicate the successful models of Gau-aadharit Arthvyavastha on a larger scale. "In the last 6 months, we have rescued and rehabilitated 5000+ inured and abandoned cows in our Hindrise Gau Sanvardhan Aashram, a unit of Hindrise Gaushala, in Noida and Aligarh and other associated Gaushalas. We have trained 10,000+ farmers in Panchgavya practices, and they have produced 4.2 lakh litres of organic Gau Ark and 3.5 lakh cow dung-based products, generating rural income and reviving ancient science." Narendra Kumar said. "Shyam Bihari Gupta Ji has shown great enthusiasm for our approach. He intends to implement our scalable model of Gau-aadharit Arthvyavastha in 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh and could result in the creation of over 1 lakh new jobs." Narendra Kumar signed off after this statement. This movement by Rashtriya Gau Sevak Sangh (RGSS) extends beyond cow protection, encompassing economic transformation, cultural revival, and climate-smart rural development.
