Campus Quickhelp

Posted by SanjanaSE24UCSE151 on September 19, 2025 at 2:46am

University life is full of small, urgent tasks that often become bigger problems when students have limited time or resources. Picking up a package from the mailroom while stuck in class, borrowing a missing charger, finding someone to swap lecture notes, or even moving heavy boxes during dorm shifts are all real needs that occur daily. Currently, students rely on random WhatsApp groups, social media posts, or favors from friends to solve these problems , which is unreliable, inefficient, and often too slow.Campus QuickHelp is a hyper-local platform designed to instantly connect students who need help with those who can provide it. Users can post ultra-short tasks like "pick up my parcel","help me move a table,"or "tutor me for 30 minutes" . Other students nearby can claim the task, complete it, and earn ratings to build trust.

This solution benefits the entire campus community. Students save time, reduce stress, and get immediate help. Those completing tasks earn money or favors on their own schedule ,turning downtime into opportunity. The platform creates a trusted, self-sustaining economy of small exchanges.This problem matters to me because I've personally experienced the frustration of needing help in a pinch and having no reliable system to ask. By creating a simple, location-based, student-only task board, we can remove that pain point.It can be a lightweight mobile web app with task posting, geolocation filters, and a simple chat system. Payments can start offline (cash/UPI) before integrating digital transactions once adoption grows.

ApnaGhar: Your Society’s Shared Cupboard & Skill Exchange

Posted by Meghana Reddy se24uece092 on September 16, 2025 at 5:59am

The problem:

We’ve all been there—needing a pressure cooker for a family gathering, a drill to hang a painting, or someone to quickly fix the WiFi. These things exist all around us, sitting in our neighbour's homes, but we rarely ask. Instead, we spend money buying the same items, and they end up gathering dust most of the year. What’s worse is that in the process, we hardly know the people living right next door.

The gap:
Our parent's generation would walk across the street to borrow sugar or tools without a second thought. But today, in our busy apartment lives, that neighbourly bond is almost gone. Current options—buying things individually or calling outsiders for help—are expensive, wasteful, and don’t build any connection within our society.
 
The solution:
That’s where ApnaGhar comes in. Think of it as your society’s very own digital notice board:
•Rent, Don’t Buy: Need a baking oven or sewing machine? Borrow it from a neighbour for a small fee instead of buying.
•Find Help Nearby: Got a leaking tap or a computer issue? Post it on ApnaGhar and find help within your society itself.
•Earn from Clutter: That pasta maker or projector lying unused can actually make you money when someone else needs it.
 
Who benifits?
•Residents save money, space, and the stress of buying unnecessary things.
•Families feel safer knowing everything stays within trusted society gates.
•Communities grow stronger and reduce waste.
 
Why it matters to me?
Every time I see expensive items lying unused in my home, I feel it’s a waste—not just of money, but of opportunity. I believe the things we own should serve not only us but also those around us. ApnaGhar is my way of turning private resources into shared value, while reviving the sense of belonging that modern apartment living has lost.
