Aasha Ki Kiran - Physical App
Aasha ki kiran (A ray of hope) is a project concept to connect daily wagers and employers to make employment easier.
The employer can send an online request for daily wager/s (hypothetically on dailywager.in) with the work details. This will reach the workers' houses with the lighting of the lamp. The worker can accept or reject the request. On accepting it, he/she will get the required details and reporting time as audio and print.
