We need a better supply chain management system at least for essential goods. Cashless transaction is good to maintain social distance. For the time being Nandini dairy products are delivered through token system, the delivery person picks up token and keeps delivery items there without interacting with any of his clients. If similar system (if not online order placement apps with location-based delivery services - otherwise searching for delivery address is tedious) was available for street vendors for delivering vegetables and fruits it would have helped them a lot. Saddest thing is bonda (tender coconut) which has excellent anti-viral anti-bacterial properties to boost immune system has disappeared from many places of the city when it is needed most. A foolproof supply chain system should provide social isolation from farmers to transporters to customers. The current situation provides an opportunity to develop such a system. As students are free now colleges can arrange for virtual/open hackathon for students through internet to develop apps useful to handle this kind of situation if not now but in future. Listing a few such technological suggestions from
MyGov below.
- App should be developed based on GPS which provide real time location of COVID19 Patients (Vishal Jaiswal)
- DAILY SELF TRACK RECORD (Gagan Jain)
- Symptoms monitoring Application covering each & everyone (Amit Maheshwari), contact tracing mobile app (Biswajit Acharjee), Self symptom reporting website (Shivam Girishbhai Raval)
- Cashless/Digital transactions (YourNameAsif khan, Nishant)
- Promote online purchases (Pcn Pcn)
- Use drone cameras to monitor lockdown ( Shubham R Wadke)
- Create animation video on virus transmission (SHYAM SUNDAR)
