When one wants to visit a country or a different place, they always have this fear of the unknown, what about the law and order, will I get lost, what If I need some protection, What If I get threatened?, Do I have to bribe the authorities to get police help If I need it? etc., are the worries. We need to have a system where tourists (athithi == guests) feel more secure and feel at ease.

process: 

  • An app each police person and a foreigner on tourist visa will have it in their phone. 
  • A foreign tourist can see the GPS location of the nearest 5 police personal.
  • A police in his app can see the location of nearest 10 tourists within a certain radius.

  1. Increase tourism

  3. More work for police personal means more hiring
  4. Good name for Bharat
