Whether you’re looking for a parking lot, a fuel station, a car garage, or the nearest and cleanest public restroom, an android-based application developed by the students of the Delhi University’s (DU) Shivaji College can help you explore all these in the Capital with ease.
The mobile-based application development initiative is one of the important projects out of 15 projects of the Shivaji College which was approved by the DU under its flagship innovation programme. The DU has granted around Rs 4.5 lakh for the project.
The app advancement project is being carried out by a 13-member group including students and teachers from B Tech and economics streams.
Professor Abha Vasal, who is supervisor of the app development team, said: “We have compiled mass data related to parking, fuel stations, garage and similar other services and putting together all of them, we have come up with this app. We have tried to make it favorite NCR-centric app so that wherever you are you can have the city at your fingertips,” Vasal added.
Vasal, who teaches Bachelor of Computer Sciences (BCS) in the college, said: “We have already worked on the economic viability of our project, as the economic viability partner Kamlesh Yadav, who was associated with Samsung, has designed a model of revenue generation. In his revenue design, there are two kinds of income generation strategies, first by advertising and second by selling it to platform agencies.
“We have already paid ‘Play Store’, a hosting platform on mobile for such app, from where the consumer will be able to download the app,” Prabhat, a B Tech student who is associated with the programme said. “The app will be available for free to the consumers and it will work on android,” said Neha, another student of the innovation team.
