What should we build
for Tamil Nadu?
✦உங்கள் ஊரின் பிரச்சனையை சொல்லுங்கள் — தொழில்நுட்ப தீர்வை உருவாக்குவோம்.
From bus routes in Madurai to farm insights in Thanjavur — real citizens know what hurts most. Submit everyday challenges in Tamil or English text. The community votes, and open-source engineers build it.
We don't want to guess what Tamil Nadu needs.
We want to hear it directly from the people who live here.
You Speak
Tell us about a real problem you believe technology can solve. You don't need to know how to build it — just describe what's difficult.
We Listen
We review, organize and identify recurring problems and high-impact ideas from across all 38 districts of Tamil Nadu.

An idea that doesn't fit the categories above
Your idea doesn't need to be technical.
You don't need to know how to build it. Just tell us the problem. Here are the kinds of things people might submit:
"Finding available appointments at nearby government hospitals is very difficult and takes too much time."
This is an example — not an actual submitted idea
"I want to know how crowded my bus will be before it arrives at my stop."
This is an example — not an actual submitted idea
"Students need one simple place to discover scholarships they're actually eligible for."
This is an example — not an actual submitted idea
"Farmers need simpler access to local weather forecasts and current market prices in their area."
This is an example — not an actual submitted idea
Your idea is probably just as valid.
Maybe you've wondered, "Why doesn't an app exist for this?" That's exactly the kind of thing we want to hear.
Submit Your IdeaTamil Nadu is deciding right now.
Every citizen has 1 vote to decide which civic software we build first.
Vote in Public Poll →Technology can only go so far alone.
We can research, design and build technology. But solutions that can serve millions of people often need collaboration between builders, institutions, and government.
If you represent an organization, institution, or government body and are interested in what comes out of this initiative, we'd like to hear from you.
For Government & InstitutionsTamil Nadu has the ideas.
We want to hear yours.
One problem can start a conversation.
One idea can become a product.
