Apr 25, 2020

New Delhi, Apr 26 (ANI): A team of professors and researchers at IIT Delhi have developed a web-based dashboard ‘PRACRITI’ which can predict the district and state wise transmission rate of COVID-19. PRACRITI stands for Prediction and Assessment of Corona Infections and Transmission in India. "PRACRITI is a web-based dashboard developed by researchers at IIT-Delhi. It gives details of state and district wise predictions of COVID-19 spread in India. Specifically, it gives the transmission rate of each of the districts in India, and that enables the authorities and the public to know how to control and mitigate Coronavirus transmission in India," Prof Krishnan. Talking about the inspiration behind making PRACRITI, a Civil Engineering student at the IIT-Delhi, Hargun Singh Grover said, "To develop the prevention and mitigation strategies for COVID-19, it is important to understand what exactly the scenario is in each district is and how the scenario can change if the lockdown conditions are changed."
