This service crowdsources the cooking and delivery of food. Dabbawallah is EBay for chefs, but rapid sale and delivery is facilitated by social network and SMART phone technology. Like a meals on wheels on steroids- this has global application and transcends all demographics, food styles and prices. This is meals on wheels for the big society and is going to democratise the community food/ takeaway food/ delivery market. Background A Dabbawallah is a person in India who is employed in a unique service industry whose primary business is collecting the freshly cooked food in lunch boxes from the residences of office workers or local restaurants , delivering it to their respective workplaces and returning the empty boxes back to the customer's residence by using various modes of transport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dabbawala

- The Crowd
-
The Crowd will be a platform to tap into the untapped agency of NEETS, engage young people and assemble ad-hoc teams, with support and mentors, to drive change in their communities and work with public services. This will provide valuable experience for project working, build soft-skills, peer-peer and community interaction, and boost the confidence and aspirations of young people.

What about an App engineered specifically for young people's information seeking needs? Something that offers a single portal solution to the information that young people need on a daily basis.

- Meet Market
-
We are inspired by the power of using real-life entrepreneurship as a learning tool. Meet Market is a platform and support network for young people not in education, employment, or training to take a hands-on approach to professional (and social) development through entrepreneurship. It provides an online and offline platform, giving young people the tools and support to launch micro-enterprises within the familiar context of street markets. Markets provide an unique opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, with exposure to procurement, profit margins, time management, relationships and marketing within a low-risk environment. Meet Market will help NEETs to explore this by providing micro-finance and support, enabling participants to essentially manage their own business as a learning process rather than purely an enterprise.

- Website For Blind People
-
I want to build a website specially for those who are blind so they can too experience web world what is all about. It will contain lot of feature like: Shopping, Chatting, E-mailing and Listening song and many more depending on their requirements. It is built on simple Html or Asp.Net language with each button when user hover on it .It will beep a sound and tell U where are U and when they spoke that I want to chat then It will redirect to that place and let them know who are online by bots and they chat with mic and listen their voice by headphones who are online. Suppose user want to check mail then bot will let them know that how many have Unread and what is important and what is not just like in Gmail use priority inbox like this same use by this website.
