Hi @shabbiryk, thank you for submitting this proposal! Can you confirm how you plan to "develop a community of people with similar mindset"? In other words, what steps will you take to build a user base for this project?

[shabbiryk]

Hi @ErinOCon, we are already in discussions with VIT Social about building a userbase from the institute. We will contact more colleges and conduct online meetups. In order to reach out to more people with similar mindsets, we have already contacted a few NGOs, such as Anandvan.
