Hi Shivangi,

We are using Avni App to collect information at village well. We are using the 
same app for the followup activities as well. 

Copying Arjun from Avni team.

 Hey All,
 
 I work for Goonj. (You can find more information regarding it on our 
 website: https://goonj.org/)
 
 Distribution of material for relief/aid is a big part of Goonj’s work. 
 During the distribution the field staff captures various data points, such 
 as - geographical information, recipients information, type of material 
 given, work done etc. This data is currently being captured on a printed 
 paper. 
 
 The distribution happens in rural areas where the mobile network coverage 
 is inadequate (if available at all) and the staff doing the distribution 
 have very basic smartphones.
 
 Keeping these constraints (collection of offline data using basic 
 smartphones) in mind and in order to help simplify their work, we are 
 looking for solutions that can be used to move away from the generic paper 
 and pen model for collecting data.
 In regards to this I am trying to figure out what the different 
 organisations across the world are using to capture information in similar 
 scenarios.
 
 Is there any particular application, tool or form that you have used and 
 found suitable? 
 
 As of now other than developing our own mobile application the only viable 
 option seems to be Kobo toolbox. (jot forms is expensive)
 
 Any insight would be really appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
 Shivangi

Re: [datameet] Digitising Data Collection from Rural India

[Suvajit Sengupta]

Hi Shivangi,

I second Devdatta.

If it is about data collection offline followed by sync with network
availability without much processing at server end, ODK does the job well.

We have earlier done mobile app and few reporting capabilities on top ODK.
Can share if it is useful for you.

Suvajit

Re: [datameet] Digitising Data Collection from Rural India

[Devdatta Tengshe]

Hi Shivangi,

My experience with offline data collection is quite old, circa 2013; But we
had great success using ODK. The project has evolved quite a bit since
then, and can be accessed at : https://getodk.org/

Do let me know if you need some help setting this up.


Regards,
Devdatta

[datameet] Digitising Data Collection from Rural India

[Shivangi Desai]

Hey All,

I work for Goonj. (You can find more information regarding it on our
website: https://goonj.org/)


Distribution of material for relief/aid is a big part of Goonj’s work.
During the distribution the field staff captures various data points, such
as - geographical information, recipients information, type of material
given, work done etc. This data is currently being captured on a printed
paper.


The distribution happens in rural areas where the mobile network coverage
is inadequate (if available at all) and the staff doing the distribution
have very basic smartphones.


Keeping these constraints (collection of offline data using basic
smartphones) in mind and in order to help simplify their work, we are
looking for solutions that can be used to move away from the generic paper
and pen model for collecting data.

In regards to this I am trying to figure out what the different
organisations across the world are using to capture information in similar
scenarios.


Is there any particular application, tool or form that you have used and
found suitable?


As of now other than developing our own mobile application the only viable
option seems to be Kobo toolbox. (jot forms is expensive)


Any insight would be really appreciated.


Thanks,

Shivangi
