Jagrati - An initiative of IIITians

Jagrati is an initiative by the students of IIITDM Jabalpur to provide free and quality education to the poor and under-privileged children of villages surrounding our institute.

Currently, we have adopted 5 villages in the vicinity of our institute, namely, Gadheri, Amanala, Chanditola, Mehgawan and Suarkol where we donate education to around 100 children of classes 1 through 10. Apart from providing basic education to the students in regular classes, we also prepare the students of 4th and 5th grade for the prestigious Navodaya Vidyalaya and other similar government-funded institutions which provides quality education to students, completely free of cost.

Apart from teaching the children, we do many other activities like organizing Blood Donation Camps, Tree Plantation Drives, Cloth Donation, Stationery Distribution, Campaigns to spread awareness in villages, etc.

Our Achievements:

1 student selected in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in 2018.
1 student selected in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in 2019.
2 students selected in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in 2020.
4 students cleared entrance examination for Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) in 2020.
4 students cleared entrance examination for Gyanodaya Vidyalaya in 2020.

(Like Navodaya Vidyalaya, both EMRS and Gyanodaya Vidyalaya provide free quality education to students from class 6 to 12).

Currently, we are operating in online mode to prepare students of class 5 for Navodaya Examination, 2021.

About JagratiWebApp

JagratiWebApp is the official web application for managing day-to-day operations at Jagrati, like keeping track of the content being taught in a class and homework being given to the students, taking and keeping record of student and volunteer attendance, keeping record of all the students being taught under the initiative and the volunteers contributing towards the initiative among many things.

The main aim of the application is to simplify the work of volunteers by making all the information readily accessible to them like what was taught in the last class or in the last week and how many student attended those classes so that they can easily decide what should be taught on the present day and update the same in the application. Plus, it also helps in taking the attendance of students with more ease over the conventional method of manually taking note of the names of all the students present.

So, all in all, it is meant to help the volunteers work more effectively and efficiently and make it easy to keep track of daily activities.

Setting-up the project

Download and install Python 3.7
Download and install Git.
Fork the Repository.
Clone the repository to your local machine $ git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/JagratiWebApp.git
Change directory to JagratiWebApp $ cd JagratiWebApp
Install virtualenv $ pip3 install virtualenv
Create a virtual environment $ virtualenv env -p python3.7
Activate the env: $ source env/bin/activate (for linux) > ./env/Scripts/activate (for Windows PowerShell)
Install the requirements: $ pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a new file in root folder of repository (JagratiWebApp) with name .env (only .env and not .env.txt) and add the following content in it:
```
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'your-email@domain.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your-password'

SENDER_EMAIL = 'Jagrati <your-email@domain.com>'
ADMINS_EMAIL = ['email-address-of-admin@domain.com']

SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY = 'google-oath2-key'
SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET = 'google-oath2-secret'
```
where,
- EMAIL_HOST_USER and SENDER_EMAIL is the email address of your Gmail account from which you want to send emails (By default, Django will output email contents in console. To actually send emails to real users, comment line 27 and uncomment line 28 in Jagrati/settings/development.py).
- EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD is the password for that Gmail account.
- ADMINS_EMAIL is a list of email addresses of Admins of the site (who will recieve important updates from the site like when a new user joins in).
- SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY and SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET are the API keys for login/signup using Google.
Note: All the changes mentioned above in the .env template are optional and you do not need to change anything if you want all the email contents to be printed in the console itself and you do not wish to use login/signup through Google. The changes in the first 4 lines on .env file are required only if you wish to send out real emails to real people and changes in last 2 lines are required only if you wish to use login/signup through Google.
Create a copy of sample-db.sqlite3 in root directory (JagratiWebApp) and rename it as db.sqlite3.
Make migrations $ python manage.py makemigrations
Migrate the changes to the database $ python manage.py migrate
Create admin $ python manage.py createsuperuser
Run the server $ python manage.py runserver
