Why Open Source

Saaya is open source because climate action demands transparency, trust, and collaboration. Open code ensures verifiable MRV, prevents greenwashing, enables community participation, and supports long-term, interoperable climate infrastructure. Climate data is a public good—its tools must be open, auditable, and collectively owned to drive credible and scalable climate solutions.

Our Areas of focus

Internet penetration  has helped rural and urban communities to come closer.  However, lack of digital skills and financial literacy is hindering rural growth. This is specially relevant to people of Sundarbans who depend on forest and tourists for their livelihood. Because of lack of financial literacy and dependency on middle men, the rural population is not fairly rewarded for their hard work. The trend is common all across the globe.

Saaya’s approach can address these challenges. Asset Tracking can help communities trace and authenticate their products; Cloud Microservices enable scalable digital tools; Open Telemetry provides transparent insight into local activities and resources; and Open Platforms ensure equal access, reducing dependency on intermediaries. Once the rural population starts generating decent revenue, the migration out of desperation will reduce, thus reducing the stress on the cities. 

Following are the 4 Topics that we want to focus on.
