OnionDev Technologies

In the realm of health and health tech, Oniondev Technologies addresses the breakdown of communication channels hindering informed decisions due to factors like literacy and the digital divide, particularly in healthcare in rural areas. It tackles issues on both the demand and supply sides. On the demand side, it combats low health-seeking behaviour, inadequate avenues for grievance resolution, and limited accountability. On the supply side, it addresses data collection limitations and the capacity to provide quality healthcare. By employing community media platforms, it empowers marginalized communities and healthcare workers to contribute to better health outcomes. Its technology aids in swift data collection and analysis for health officials and researchers, aiding underserved communities, frontline workers' upskilling, and health administration enhancement.

Oniondev Technologies engages in addressing workforce and labour rights issues prevalent in India. It acknowledges the underpayment and lack of protection for workers, even in registered factories, due to inadequate enforcement of legal provisions. With the aim to empower low-income industrial workers, the organisation's Workforce and Labor Rights programmes strive to raise awareness about workers' rights, enabling them to hold employers and Governments accountable for working conditions. It focuses on providing actionable information, promoting awareness, and facilitating grievance registration and redressal. Collaborating with trade unions, workers' collectives, and worker media organisations, Oniondev Technologies amplifies efforts to build solidarity and engage in collective action for improved working conditions and labour rights. Through its platforms, including phone platforms and online news portals, it contributes to workers' empowerment and justice.

Oniondev Technologies focuses on Women and Child Development by addressing the unequal access to media and information across India, especially among women in rural areas due to various forms of marginalization. The organisation works to empower women by overcoming barriers to digital literacy and facilitating their participation in systemic processes to enhance health, nutrition, family planning, socio-economic entitlements, livelihoods, and political progress. Its programmes target adolescent girls, women's collectives (Self Help Groups), and women leaders, aiming to provide actionable information, raise awareness, and encourage behaviour change. By collaborating with local leaders, SHG members, and community members, Oniondev Technologies fosters collective action, bridging digital literacy gaps, and empowering women to bring about positive change in their lives and communities.

Oniondev Technologies is dedicated to Governance, focusing on providing authoritative and actionable information to millions of citizens in rural India who lack access to communication channels. The organisation empowers citizens to voice their concerns, share opinions, and seek assistance in accessing their rights. Through a team of community volunteers, its platforms enable informed discussions, grievance redressal, and collaboration with local administration. These efforts aim to empower all citizens, irrespective of gender, caste, or class, with information and awareness, fostering responsible citizenship and collective change. By engaging low-income communities, community volunteers, and local administration, Oniondev Technologies facilitates awareness, knowledge building, and collective action, promoting transparency and accountability in governance while fostering a sense of unity and empowerment among citizens.
