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.
  • A tourist can also see the location with most tourist checkout/checkin (as a heatmap) who are users of this app
  • At any point in time a tourist if in trouble, can click the sos button and the nearest police personal will be alerted.

Advantages:
  1. Increase tourism

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