 We are back with another edition where we celebrate the brilliant minds and innovative spirits who emerged victorious in Smart India Hackathon 2023. Today we have with us a team that worked on one of the most important sectors of our economy, travel and tourism. They have developed solutions and tools that have potential of revolutionizing the travel industry. So let's meet Anvesha and her team and understand this new innovation of theirs. So welcome Anvesha to this year. Please tell us something about yourself and then of course we'll introduce our team members as well. Namaste sir. I'm Anvesha Ghosh from University of Engineering and Management, Polkata. Representing the team, Eli Scorn, which comprises of Nilanjan Johardar, Kundan Kumar, Adrish Khosh, Divyushri Banerjee and Khushi Somya. So the team has won the proper statement S I H 1486, which is under student denomination. We are from University of Engineering and Management, Polkata. The journey of S I H was incredible. We have learnt team management, how to walk under pressure, brainstorming every challenges that was given to us. Okay, great. So now let's meet the other team members of this team. Hi guys, please introduce yourself. Yeah. Hello, I am Nilanjan Johardar. I am from University of Engineering and Management, currently position B Tech in San India. We were very happy to have Anvesha as our team leader. We worked on the tools and travels project as introduced by Anvesha previously. We also faced various challenges and yeah, we were very happy to work on them. Thank you. Hello, Shal, Myshal, Kundan Kumar. I am a student of University of Engineering and Management, pursuing B Tech in Computer Science and Information Technology. Sir, I gained various experience in S I H Prod. 23. Okay guys, it's very nice to have you here with us today to discuss this new, you know, solution that you've come up with in travel and tourism industries problem statement. So Anvesha, getting back to the PS of yours, please tell us something about what the problem statement was and how do you think was that statement really so critical that it demanded some, you know, comprehensive solution? So sir, our focus revolves around addressing the challenges present in problem statement S I H 1486 with centers on travel and tourism. The crux of this problem statement lies in seeking a solution or idea that can uplift the current situation of the tourism industry encompassing areas such as hotels, travels and related sectors in India. Like we have made the whole system based on India for now. This is like a problem happening in India mostly. Like there is, you know, people have many budget related issues. So our main focus is basically that budget making tool, which we will be covering later. So what exactly do you think is the problem with the travel and tourism sector, which needs addressing? See, we all are, you know, consumers and potential consumers, it affects all of us, this particular industry, the way we travel, the way we move around, the way we plan our holidays. And of course, there are like 1000 things to be done. I can understand that. But I mean, for to take care of all those things, we have travel agents, we have various other, you know, avenues, which take care of, you know, all those needs. So despite having all that, where do you think was this, you know, something was lacking, which, you know, prompted you to work on this and you know, create a solution that addresses the issues related with this industry. So see the first couple, that is the thing that you mentioned, that is the travel agent, you have to pay something to travel agent. They won't give you the plan, like, you know, without any post, right? So, and there are many other issues such as the, like people face problems while planning, planning, like, you know, they have a budget and they don't know where to go in that budget. And it is a major issue. They need to sit, like, do the whole thing, like the whole research manual. And it is timely. People don't have time. That is the sort of thing, sir. So please now tell us about the solution that you've come up with and what all it deals with, what all it takes care of? Yes, sir. I'm coming to that. So sir, in response to this, we have developed a comprehensive solution, a budget making tool. This innovative tool takes into account various factors, including budget, number of days, you want to be there in that place, number of rooms you require to craft a personalized journey plan for the users. Can you tell us how this happens? Like, how have you, you know, developed a system wherein, you know, all this becomes easy for a person like me to, you know, plan a travel and, you know, move around? Sir, yes, sir. So we have made a budget making tool, like in the front end, the basic UI, like the user interface is made using pure HTML and CSS. And the back end is made using JavaScript. When we have put some advanced algorithms, and it is like, you know, computerized in that way, we have used the algorithm of craft, basically, data structure algorithm. So for an end user like me, like, what is a takeaway from my side? I mean, how does it benefit me? Or how does, how do I go about using this tool and, you know, solving my travel related issues? Sir, you have a budget of 50,000. You have two people, and you are going to Kochi, for example. So basically, it gives you the whole journey plan by train, by flight. And you have also got that multimodal choice. Like, you're going by train and coming by flight. Basically, we are trying to make it more time optimized and post optimized at the same time. Okay, that sounds great. So how does that happen? Like, can we have a look at, you know, the any interface or any, any kind of a website where, you know, I can go and see how all this happens for the consumer as well as from your end, how do you manage that? Okay, so let's see the UI of the website. So this is our basic UI. The name of our website is 50 voyage. Let's scroll down and see what is there. This is about our section that tells us like what is the 50 voyage is all about. There's a VR section of our website, which lets you see the places of the destination in VR mode. So let's see Lotus temple. So you can see that it is giving you a VR mode to see the Lotus temple. Let's move back to the website. So now we have come to the budget, like book a budget. This is the budget making tool of our website. So now my budget is like one lakh. We have the option to choose the currency like INR, USD and URL like the Euro. So for now I'm keeping it as like INR. How many of you are going? So let's take two. How many days are you planning for? Let's take three. How many rooms do you need? One. And destination is Ho Chi. On submitting, we are getting a journey plan by train. Like you can travel by train by using a 5800. You can accommodate five-star hotel room for 6000. And other like money is also there reserved for sizing and other other necessities. You also get a journey plan by flight. And the last but not the least, the most attractive thing which is not there in the other websites, that is the multi-portal journey plan we are getting. It is giving you the optimized time, like the how much time you need for the whole journey. So let's scroll down. This is the explore part. On clicking culture, you get to see the different cultures of India. Like on clicking Bangalore, you get to know something about Bangalore, Delhi, Kerala, Mumbai, Hyderabad. Okay, let's move back and see. Here we have so by using this, we can get to know the weather of any place. Suppose right Lucknow. So it is giving me the temperature that is present in Lucknow right now. So this is the footer part and let's come to the most another like a beautiful thing, rather feature. We have our language support system, like for now we have Hindi. So you can see the whole website is getting translated into Hindi. This is for the non-English speakers and the people who can't understand and read English. Let me show you the accessibility feature that we have added. There are many people who have color blindness, dyslexia, but then the fonts get changed. You can see we have also like features like we can pause the animation, the animation gets paused. We can get bigger text. And last but not the least, among our key features we have Trif2. It's a AI chatbot. It gives you like it answers your travel queries that you have regarding our website and any travel plan. Suppose I write hello. It greets me by the message Namaste. This is Trif2, the chatbot of Trif2 voice. How may I help you? So what is the prize of flight ticket from Holkata to Delhi? So it has given me the answer like as low as 2734. The maximum price for the Holkata to Delhi can go up to 2344. So the demo is there only. Thank you. Okay. So that sounds pretty interesting and pretty useful. So now one question, Anvesha. How is it different from the other avenues or should I call it? There are other websites, there are like trip advisors of the world. So they also offer quite a lot of information, quite a lot of suggestions. So how is it different from all the other similar websites or platforms? So obviously, there is a question rising that how our website is different from the existing platforms. Speaking about the differences, our key feature that multimodal model transport, which means a standard among the crowd. This multimodal provides us with an optimized plan, not only optimized, it's time optimized and cost optimized at the same time. Like for example, if we go to Kochi from Holkata, we can go via Hyderabad. Now other platforms don't show this way or the modes that we can opt. So our platform, what it does, it shows the break point we can afford so that it takes less time and less budget. So I think this stands out among the crowd. And one more thing to add that our website has a language support, which is more user-friendly for the native people and all. And the dyslexia part, which Anisha has already explained, which user-friendly code takes the people with the disease as well. So I think it stands out among the crowds in the following ways. Thank you. Okay, that's great. I mean, it seems that you certainly have improved upon a lot of features, a lot of functionalities if you compare it to the other platforms or other options available. So now moving forward, what is your plan? Like, where do you want to take this to? What is the next step? Just talking about the future plans, I think we are planning to implement it on a higher scale so that it reaches to maximum audience so that they get the benefit sitting at their home. We would like to add more things we have kept it as our future plan to add to the website to make it more user-friendly. And like that, we are planning for the future. Okay, so the functionality of the website is certainly wonderful. So now please share something about the backend. How do you manage all that, all those answers because it would require a lot of data, it would require a lot of information. So how is that being managed at your end? So as I said that we have worked on test data because the real-time data access is not possible right now. We have not given the access. So we have used the advanced algorithm of graph and we have also used Python for the basic rough planning. So yes, sir. So in the future, you think at any given point of time, you will be able to not only obviously improve upon what is there right now with you but also try to launch it into some kind of a venture. Can we expect something of that sort? Yes, sir. But we are not thinking of it as of now. But yes, we are in a plan to do that thing as well. Right. Great Anmesha. And I would congratulate you and your team to come up with such a wonderful idea and which can actually be scaled up and it will definitely help a lot of people who are willing to travel, who are trying to make their holidays wonderful and enjoyable. So your plans, your methodology would certainly, it's going to help them quite a lot. And of course, you are a very deserving winner of Smarini Agaton 2023. And congratulations once again to all of you. And we hope that you take this forward and make it better and not only better but you take this out, roll it out as a business at one point of time, sometime in the future and wish you all the best for that particular moment when it happens. Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you so much, sir. We once again congratulate Anmesha and her team and hope that their achievement will inspire many others and their innovation may pave the way for a smarter, travel-friendly and prosperous India. We'll be back with more such innovations. Keep watching the space. Goodbye.
