Hello NuSocia Patrons,
Welcome to the August edition of the Impact Post - Your monthly newsletter of what's trending in the social impact space.
This month we all have proudly celebrated the 75th Independence day of India. The nation has made significant progress in all fields over the years, be it space tech or sports, be it solar power or sensex, be it agricultural production or number of unicorns. The social development parameters over the years are also showing significant progress and the effort continues. All such efforts are also augmented by the parallel progress in the field of technology and increasing normalization of terms like IOT, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence etc. becoming part of general lexicon. Can social sector remain untouched with these?
In this month, we have tried to demystify this question for you in multiple formats ranging from an expert panel discussion happening today to NuSocia CTO sharing how the tech can be made a friend in a short form video and there are some very interesting reads on the topic, as well.
Read on to learn how to turn your data into an asset to amplify the impact that you are creating.
