Parth Anand, a 16-year-old student at St Francis de Sales School in Vikaspuri, watched his parents get thrown off their motorcycle by a pothole in November 2024.
Project Sadak
To make roads safer, Anand started learning how to code and build websites in January 2026. By March, he launched Project Sadak. The citizen-led platform uses artificial intelligence to send complaints about road dangers directly to the right government departments and tracks whether those repairs get done.
Context
Potholes and poorly maintained roads are a common cause of accidents on Indian city streets, often making it difficult for residents to get local civic agencies to take quick action. Citizen-led tech initiatives like this highlight how everyday people are using basic digital tools to hold local authorities accountable for public infrastructure maintenance.
