empathize

Field stories are always useful to grab attention of clients and external audience. Whatsapp Group allows us to directly interact with people who are on field and get real time messages, reports, photographs and stories from them which can be refined later to present in best possible manner.

Power of Whatsapp Group came to my attention when i started Human Centered Design (HCD) certification from Ideo.org and Acumen. The first phase helped me plan my research, where i decided to interact with real people (General public + Experts) using communication tools like Whatsapp, Surveys, Facebook and Linkedin to discover the challenge statement. Whatsapp was faster than any other tool though there   were few concerns related to spam and undesired messages generated by my target audience. Finally i ended up with lot of raw data and insights generated by real people during their real time experiences, to build and submit final prototype. The tool enabled me empathize with people and finally i got the HCD certificate.

Proud to announce that finally i have received my statement of accomplishment for Human-Centered Design from Acumen and Ideo.org. This was 7 week self-paced course and my design challenge was “Pollution and Traffic control in Delhi”. During this course i got the chance to engage with different people and collected their inputs through surveys and questionnaire. Planning research in inspiration phase, building prototypes in ideation phase and coming up with final solution in implementation phase were the challenging, interesting and innovative steps to learn. I would like to offer special thanks to my organization The QED Group, LLC for providing me an opportunity to avail this course and training for skill development.  It’s a privilege to share my final assignment on Mission Green Delhi blog.  Click here to download my research paper for the Human-Centered Design course.

forest cover

Para 4.1 of the National Forest Policy, 1988 provides that a minimum of 1-3rd of the total land area of the country should be under forest or tree cover.In the hills and in mountainous regions, the aim should be to maintain 2-3rd of the area under such cover in order to prevent erosion and land degradation and to ensure stability of the fragile eco-system. Taking the above strategy in view, the Govt. of NCT of Delhi is making all endeavors to meet the national goal as set by the Central Govt. and is constantly adding to the Green Cover of the State which is reflected the change in Forest and Tree Cover given below:
