Aligarh Diaries

Problem Statement

• We have city websites like "Nagar Nigam" that provide us with daily updates on what's happening in the city and a wealth of information about it, but these websites still lack several crucial features that would enable any user to fix an issue in the region where they currently reside.
• Also we discovered, having numerous apps for various daily tasks, such as paying bills, reading the news, and so forth, not only takes up more space on our devices, but also complicates task management for individual apps. By combining all of the applications in one location with some additional cutting-edge features, we have came up with a solution "Aligarh Diaries".

What we did?

Our project gives a general picture of our beautiful city Aligarh and how it is developing into a smart city. Also, our project can evaluate different locations to see if they are smart or not, and residents can provide input on specific areas they live in. This project comprises a tourist guide that lists classy locations to visit, as well as a "about" part, a dashboard for citizens, and a feedback option.

• Smart city initiatives can improve the quality of life for citizens by providing better access to basic services, such as water, energy, and transportation.Smart cities are designed to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly by reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Our project provides an overview of our adorable Aligarh and how it is developing into a smart city.

• Dashboard feature include many options like user login, Tourisim, About, Feedback, Citizen Services, Document Locker etc.

People can also use this option to share their problems like the electricity cut out, waterlogging on the road and drainage system, and other local issues.
• Tourist Guide - The tourist guide option makes it easier for us to navigate the city and discover new and lovely spots. This allows us to appreciate the glories of the city. We won't get lost in this city if we take this option. We can use this option to locate restaurants, shops, malls, and theatres in this city.
• Document Locker - You can upload your personal documents here, including your driving licence, PAN card, and Aadhaar card. Also, you can store these online so that you won't need to carry printed copies of them everywhere.
• Latest News and Updates - This option will provide us with daily news and updates, including the price of gold and stock market data. We can always stay current with the aid of this alternative.
