Respected FSM Members,
Good morning from India!
The following is suggested for rowdsourcing of grassroots innovations through gamification:
Gamification can effectively drive crowdsourcing for grassroots innovations by creating an engaging platform where participants solve real-world challenges through interactive missions, earning points, rewards, and recognition for their contributions. Localized accessibility, team-based collaboration, and mentorship opportunities enhance inclusivity and innovation. Features like leaderboards, storytelling, and community voting foster continuous engagement and validation.
Further, there should be a mechanism for piloting of successful ideas, scaled, and disseminated through partnerships with FPOs, Farm Science Centres (KVKs), and cooperatives, ensuring practical impact while building a culture of creativity and collaboration to address real-world challenges.
Wish you and your esteemed family a very Happy and Prosperous New Year ahead!
With warm regards,
Pradip Dey
