Weekly Updates and Blogs 

WEEK - 1

We shortlisted a bunch of topics and zeroed down to 3 main issues, 

• Stubble Burning

• Disorganised News Threads 

• Hazardous Working conditions of Sanitation Workers 

Upon discussing these ideas with our mentor Mr. Raj Narayan , we arrived at a conclusion that Stubble burning would be the most workable among the 3 topics. 

WEEK - 2

Stage- 1 of the Design Thinking process begins. We start collecting data regarding different aspects of stubble burning to understand the problem in a better way.

WEEK - 3 

Stage- 2 of the Design Thinking process begins. We conduct a survey among the farmers in Punjab to understand their point of view regarding the problem of stubble burning. Through this survey we were able to empathise with them and understand the problem in more detail. 

Questions in the survey were collectively made by all team members and the survey forms were put out by Harshveer Singh Thind.
