Unlocking Opportunities, Simplifying Schemes. Providing clear & simple explanations for government schemes issued in the interest of the economically weaker sections of society in a multilingual way.

The problem DhanSaathi solves

THE PROBLEM STATEMENT

  • Many government schemes on their respective portals are explained in a confusing manner, without clarity. And this affects the target audience of their scheme i.e., the weaker and financially unstable sections of society.
  • The government websites do not show a clear approach on how to avail these schemes. And hence, a lot of people are not aware of these financial benefits.
  • Moreover, these websites lack common instructions that one needs to apply for these schemes.
  • Most government websites offer the scheme related information in either English or Hindi. And that is why a lot of people find it difficult to understand the schemes.

HOW WE SOLVED THE PROBLEM

  1. Our application makes sure that all the schemes are explained in a simple format.
  2. We give the users an option to select languages and categories, like Loans, Insurance, Investments etc. so that they can pick whatever suits them best.
  3. A Multi-lingual approach was taken so that all diverse communities are addressed to.
  4. Our application provides the user an option to understand schemes in 5 different regional languages with future support for more.
  5. We also provide necessary information like the eligibility criteria and also the documents required to apply for a scheme.
  6. Additionally, we also have a DhanSaathi AI chatbot which uses the Groclake framework and carries out a RAG-based output system to all users with questions related to government schemes listed.

Challenges we ran into

Understanding the business aspect

  • Since we are catering to the weaker sections of the society, making money is not our primary concern.
  • Hence, we look forward to being included into practices like Corporate Social Responsibility so that companies engage with us for the betterment of society.

Development challenges

  • Since we are using the Groclake AI framework, provided by plotch.ai, we were quite new to the entire documentation and hence we took longer than needed to make AI application, but we were successful.
  • We were not really familiar with frontend tools and hence we decided to stick to our basics, which we did to an extent and created a minimalistic, yet engaging frontend for our application.

Deployment

  • Our flask application ran into multiple issues several times and hence we were unable to deploy the AI part of the application, although we made a good effort.
