Real-World Problem: Why Are Rural Groundwater Systems Failing While Traditional Knowledge Fades?

What's Broken?

* There is no real-time, centralized data on groundwater levels or the health of borewell infrastructure.

* No expertise: As youth migrate, villages lose the technical knowledge needed for pump maintenance and water management.

* No coordination: Different water sources are used without a coordinated plan, leading to the over-extraction of specific aquifers.

Real-World Problem: Why Do Mandi Prices Travel Slower Than Gossip?

What’s Broken?

* Prices rely on middlemen & outdated govt portals (updated once/twice a day)

* Data is often inaccurate or hard to access for farmers with basic phones

* Private apps exist but lack trust & adoption

Real-World Problem: Why Are Coastal Fishers Losing Ancient Secrets to Climate Chaos?

What’s Broken?

•No tech captures centuries-old fishing knowledge before it’s gone.

•Climate shifts make ancestral maps useless without real-time updates.

•Rural fishers can’t connect to urban markets for fair profits.

•Overfishing and poverty threaten 15 million coastal livelihoods.

Being part of Spotbox helped me step out of my comfort zone. I not only shared my ideas but also got to collaborate on a challenge with students from other cities. It feels like real-world learning.

Spotbox gives me a sense of direction. Every discussion here adds to my knowledge, and I’ve discovered opportunities I would’ve otherwise missed in college.
