About ArogyaRelief

A platform built to coordinate healthcare and relief during disasters.

Why we started

ArogyaRelief started with a simple observation: during a disaster, finding help can become almost as difficult as needing it.

Every year, large parts of Assam face severe flooding. Roads get cut off, mobile networks become unstable, and villages become unreachable. We saw that people needing medical help often had no way to reach a doctor, while doctors, NGOs, and volunteers had no organised way to know exactly where their help was most urgently needed.

The problem was not a shortage of people willing to help. It was that the right information was not reaching the right person at the right time. A family might be waiting for basic medicine that is sitting in a relief camp twenty kilometres away. We wanted to build something that could connect those two sides.

What ArogyaRelief does

ArogyaRelief connects different participants during disasters, including affected families, medical responders, NGOs, and volunteers.

Currently, the platform allows people to submit emergency medical requests and track them. Responders can view nearby requests, accept cases, and update patients on their status. NGOs can track their volunteers and manage relief camps, and anyone can find verified healthcare facilities operating nearby.

We focus heavily on healthcare because medical emergencies multiply during disasters. Waterborne diseases, injuries, and chronic care interruptions require immediate attention.

Who built it

ArogyaRelief was built by two students who wanted to solve a problem they could see around them.

Abhigyan Saikia

Founder

Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science student at RIPANS, Aizawl, Mizoram.

Manash Jyoti Baruah

Co-Founder

MCA student at Dibrugarh University, Assam.

Where we are today

ArogyaRelief currently serves flood-affected communities in Assam. It is an early-stage project, and we are still developing and testing the architecture.

Our long-term goal is to make the platform useful across other disaster-prone regions of India—whether for floods, cyclones, or heatwaves. We want to build broader coverage, but we are not there yet. We are taking it one step at a time, making sure what we build actually works for the people on the ground.

infoAn Important Note

ArogyaRelief does not replace official emergency services, hospitals, police, fire departments, or the NDRF/SDRF. If you are in immediate danger, please call the official district helpline, 108 for an ambulance, or 100 for police. We are here to help coordinate, not to substitute for official rescue authorities.
