STORY OF RURAL INDIA - VISUALIZATION 

 CHALLENGE & SELECTION 

 I am currently pursuing Masters in Business Administration in Human Resources ; In a B - school   we are given a lot of tasks , assignments & projects to work upon . One such assignment was to   build an action plan for reducing the death rate due to snake bites in rural India . 

 Visualization , as an approach I have used several times often while buying clothes online or   thinking about the color which will best suit a wall , whereas things here were a bit different , I   first used visualization to know how I want to approach this problem , should I go for a primary   research or collect data from the internet to know its cause . This technique helped me map down   the pros and cons of both the ways I want to collect the data and ultimately , I chose the secondary   research as it helped me save time , money and energy . 

 APPLICATION 

 I certainly believe in pursuing my targets in a SMART way that is , it should be Specific ,   measurable , achievable , relevant & time bound . Hence , without wasting time I gathered all the   data relevant to deaths in rural India and found out roughly 46,000 people die of snakebites in   India every year but most of these deaths are entirely avoidable . I feel Snakebite in India does n’t 

 usually affect people of the middle and upper middle class . It ’s just a poor man ’s suffering , it ’s a   farmer ’s affliction . 

 Since the problem was now known to me , I had to find a solution to it and again visualization   helped me , I decided to step into the shoes of an Individual living in rural India and think about   why so many deaths take place and after analysing two major factor which popped up in my brain   was lack of awareness due to which they do n’t get themselves treated at proper medical centre    & time constraint due to which they are unable to reach in due time . 

 Here , Visualization helped me realise how must the people of rural India would be feeling   helpless due to lack of knowledge as to how to contain the venom from spreading and no proper   connectivity and resource adds on to this . 

 What I visualised here is as soon as a person is bitten by a snake , the people around him become   nervous and go in a state of panic and look for an immediate solution rather than rushing to a   hospital and since in rural areas not everyone has a vehicle , they must feel very helpless as to   what to do and how to save the individuals life . 

 For the solution I decided to create an application for mobile phones which would make credible   information available to the public sourced from hospitals and doctors , starting from steps to   prevent mishappenings , symptoms of snakebites to steps that should be taken as a contingency   if a person is affected by a mishappening , as and when the affected person is being taken to a   doctor , It will also feature a button which will have the nearest ambulance number saved and a   single touch will send for a call to it which will help the person to reach the medical centre in due   time . This will be a very cost - effective way to spread awareness among the public and will help   in saving lives . 

 INSIGHT & APPROACH 

 The thing that I learned after completing my assignment was that the visualization as a tool not   only helped me identify the problem prima facie but it also helped me get a deeper   understanding of the situation , I certainly believe if rather than visualization I would have just   used my secondary research data to come to a solution I would have suggested a mere solution   like building more hospitals in the rural India though this is important but unawareness and lack   of connectivity is more prevalent in this region of India . 

 I would further like to use this approach in collaboration with story - telling which will help me   engage the audience thoroughly and to help them understand the gravity of the situation .
