Social App Hub: A Unique Platform for Socially Relevant Apps
Vodafone Social Apps Hub, developed in partnership with the NASSCOM Foundation, is an Android app store that curates all mobile apps designed and developed for community welfare on a single platform. Social App Hub is a first-of-its-kind platform that showcases the best of technology which addresses real-life socio-economic challenges. The platform has mobile apps focused on health, safety, education, agriculture, disability, and governance, making it the largest exclusive repository of socially relevant apps in India.
Social App Hub features multiple case studies on how mobile technology has created an impact at the grassroots level across socio-economic indicators. The platform also has a "Call For Apps" section that gives socially aware citizens a chance to post a problem statement which can be effectively solved using mobile technology.
This section acts as a rich source of problem statements for developers, who can develop their own apps and submit them to the website. NGOs and social organizations can also use this section as a tool to seek a technological scalable solution to the multiple programmatic barriers they face on the field. The platform aims to bring together various stakeholders that have realized the use of mobile technology for social good and thus further strengthen the ecosystem.
