Design Principles
BBS is built through the Digital Public Infrastructure approach and incorporates global standards best practices and best design principles.
Principles in Action for BBS:
Interoperability: BBS is not a single platform or portal. The same rails can be accessed through any mobile application, smart phone, WhatsApp integration, telegram integration, feature phone, or public landline. This interoperability allows for unleashing network effects and creating rails for pan-India discovery and fulfilment for organisations and individuals to help children in times of duress.
Minimalist, reusable building blocks: These rails are currently being built for adolescents in India, but with few modifications can be used to cater to different vulnerable groups in India (such as women, differently abled groups, elderly people etc.) or in other countries with similar ecosystems as well.
Diverse, inclusive innovation: BBS provides fundamental infrastructure that a variety of community players can use to integrate it into their own existing systems and processes under their own name. By providing multimodal, multilingual access to children, it pushes for inclusion for children from diverse backgrounds to have equal access to India's resources.
Federated and Decentralised: BBS does not ask for centralisation of data, processes or individuals. It empowers people to operate from their own space, under their own name, by leveraging the infrastructure built for the larger community by BBS.
Security and Privacy:BBS does not collect or publish data on any adolescents interacting with the system. It simply provides a discovery and fulfilment layer for existing community organisations to reach pan-India inclusive scale while working with children from diverse backgrounds.
