Title: Identification of place names from a natural language sentence.. Category: Space Technology. Subcategory: Software. Organization: Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO. Description: Building a geospatial querying system based on natural language requires identifying geospatial entities by their names. The scope of this work involves automatically identifying names of places from a sentence. A universe of canonical names single way of spelling and correct spelling will be provided in the form of tables. For example, a Country, City and State table containing the possible universe of names. It should take into account spelling errors in the names and multiple ways of spelling and mentioning the same entity in the query and map it to a canonical name. For example Given an input Which of the following saw the highest average temperature in January, Maharashtra, Ahmedabad or entire NewZealand Here, first the system should use NLP to filter out words that are not names of places, then it must do a fuzzy match to find candidate canonical names in tables and report the output. Output Token Maharashtra, Canonical name Maharashtra, table State Token Ahmedabad, Canonical name ahmedabad, table City Token NewZealand, Canonical name new zealand, table Country Please note that the query need not be a question. It can also be an imperative sentence for example. Show me a graph of rainfall for Chennai for the month of October
Title: Suggest an Albased solution to enable ease of grievance lodging and tracking for citizens across multiple departments. Category: Smart Automation. Subcategory: Software. Organization: Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Description: A robust grievance redressal mechanism is a crucial component of any administration. An efficient and effective procedure for addresstng grievances demonstrates an administrations accountability responsiveness, and userfriendliness. However, the ease of lodging a complaint or grievance by citizens is often lacking in many lndian cities. Given the large migratory population in tndian cities, consisting of individuals who may not be familiar with English, Hindi, or the local regional language, citizens face challenges in lodging their grievances. Moreover, the process of lodging a gflevance is not always straightforward. Some department websites are inaccessible, and locating the correct website for a specific department can be difficult. lntroducing an Albased chatbot that allows citizens to dictate their grievances in their local language and lodge them, would greatly assist citizens. This tool should be able to understand and process complaints effectively, assign them to the relevant department, and provide citizens with a unique complaint number. Realtime updates on the status of the complaint should be sent to citizens, enabling oneonone conversations throughout the grievance lifecycle. The primary objective of this solution should be to provide citizens with an easyto_use chatbot that facilitates efficient lodging and tracking of grievances. This would not only save citizens time in searching for the appropriate department or category but also enabl the administration to receive targeted grievances and enhance overall service delivery.
Title: Smart and Effective realtime Management of street parking. Category: Smart Automation. Subcategory: Software. Organization: Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Description: ln lndia, the number of vehicles is constanfly on the rise, while the availability of parking space in cities has not kept pace with the increasing vehicle numbers, primarily due to the rapid groMh in population. Consequenfly, issues such as traffic congestion, narrowed streets due to onstreet parking, a mismatch between parking supply and demand, and illegal parking have become all too familiar in lndian cities. Parking space has become a scarce commodity, and instead of simply increasing the number of available parking spaces, it is crucial to employ effective technologybased solutions to optimize their utilization. Smart parking solutions, utilizing sensors and software, can provade realtime information on available parking spaces to both city officials and drivers. Furthermore, leveraging emerging technologies can help optimize parking prices. A low parking price may encourage more vehicles on the road, leading to increased air and noise pollution, whereas too high prices may generate less revenue and less efectuve resource usage.Apart from the loss of revenue for operators, there is economic downside to the business in vicinity, effect on government taxes, employment.At the same parking space area and costs also have a corelation to balance optimum usage and revenue. Therefore, setting the right price for parking based on demand and optimizing occupancy is the best approach. The primary objective of the solution should be to equip city administrators with an effective parking management tool that can predict, manage, and finance parking in cities. An app should be developed to allow citizens to conveniently reserve pce king spots and make payments based on dynamic pricing This not only saves citizens time spent searching the parking but also reduces environmental degradation resulting from congestion caused by parking and provides a sustainable source of revenue for the city administration. We need an innovative, simple and widely coveraged parking needs in the city and also become most compliant for Traffic and mobility needs.

Title: Centralized Monitoring System for Street Light Fault Detection and Location Tracking. Category: Smart Automation. Subcategory: Hardware. Organization: Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Description: Electricity is the critical need for progress of the livelihood.ln many Indian cities, the maintenance of street lights has become a challenging and inefficient process due to the lack of a centralized monitoring system. ldentifying faults, such as non functioning lights, current leakage and cable breakage, relies on citizen grievances, leading to delays, increased costs, and safety concerns. Linemen spend valuable time manually searching for faults, diagnosing issues, and fixing them, which can take several days to complete. The absence of precise fault location information further complicates the process. To overcome these obstacles, we seek an innovative solution that provides realtime fault detection, accurate identification of fault types, and precise location tracking of faulty street lights. This solution aims to empower linemen with efficient fault management capabilities, reducing their workload and ensuring timely maintenance. Moreover, it should enable the local authorities to proactively address faults, enhance service quality, and optimize street light maintenance processes in their respective cities..The prime aim of this problem statement is to develop a Automated Defect Detection and Prevention Assistance with Effective Governance for Cities in India
