NammaKasa AI platform by Jyothish VM helps Bengaluru report garbage
Bengaluru just got a smart way to tackle its garbage problem: meet NammaKasa, an AI-powered platform launched in April.
Created by Jyothish VM, it lets anyone snap and upload a live photo of a trash hot spot.
The system uses AI tools to check reports and maps them to city wards using GPS, making it easier for the right teams to take action.
NammaKasa reports prompt verified cleanups
Since launch, people have sent in over 5,200 reports across 338 wards, with more than 200 black spots already cleaned up (most in Mahadevapura).
Civic volunteers and BSWML Marshals are now using NammaKasa too, posting a verification photo after cleaning as proof.
The app's transparency has won praise for letting everyone track ward progress.
Up next? Jyothish hopes to team up with the government and use this model to fix other city headaches like potholes and broken streetlights, all part of a bigger push for civic accountability.
