AI/ML-Based Integrated heavy rainfall Early Warning and Inundation Prediction System using Satellite, Radar, observational Weather and numerical weather prediction model data.
Extreme monsoon downpours in major Indian cities (Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi) cause catastrophic urban flooding within 60 minutes due to outdated stormwater drain capacities and lack of integrated hydraulic modeling. Build an AI-driven integrated heavy rainfall early warning and 2D urban inundation prediction system coupling Doppler weather radar rainfall nowcasts with municipal drainage networks to forecast street-level water logging depth.

AI-Based early warning and landslide Risk Monitoring System in NER
Landslides, flash floods, and slope failures in the North Eastern Region isolate hill communities and delay disaster response due to purely reactive manual reporting. Build an AI-driven early warning platform that ingests rain gauge telemetry, soil moisture sensors, and satellite slope data to broadcast real-time localized warnings via SMS and offline-capable PWA to village administrations.
Al-Based Smart Logistics and Accessibility Intelligence Platform for North Eastern Region (NER)
Difficult mountain terrain and frequent road blockages across the North Eastern Region delay delivery of essential medicines, food supplies, and construction materials. Build an AI route-optimization and accessibility platform that dynamically tracks convoy movement, predicts weather disruptions, and recalculates alternate supply corridors.
AI-Based Cognitive Gaming and Memory Assistance Platform for Elderly Dementia Patients in North Eastern Region (NER)
Elderly individuals in remote North Eastern villages with dementia face memory decline and social isolation with virtually zero access to specialized neurological centers. Build an accessible, culturally localized tablet/mobile cognitive therapy platform with adaptive memory games, regional voice guidance (Assamese/Khasi/Mizo), and caregiver progression dashboards.
