摘要：Advancements in the field of Information and Communication technology has altered the way we collect, process, distribute and use information for the benefit of the society. In spite of this revolution larger part of the society has not benefited from this technological progress. Data collection projects like collecting information about a disease breakout in a region, socio-economic or census surveys, collecting geo-tagged data during a disaster or creating of inventories of natural resources utilize a lot of resources like personnel, camera’s, GPS (Global Positioning System) device etc which are costly. The collected information is in the form of hand written text, images and GPS points. Lot of time is taken to collect, process and convert this data into useful information. This paper reviews ODK (Open Data Kit) an open-source suite of tools with the help of which data for such projects can be collected and sent to a centralized server using an android device in real time and with least resources.
