Bengaluru-based teens develop mobile app on social issues

Bengaluru: Two Bengaluru-based students have developed an Android social application 'vPledge' that was unveiled here on Saturday.

Priyal Jain and Prateek Mahesh have devised the app, through which people can pledge to take up causes like conserving nature, donating meals, feeding stray dogs, using public transport and ensuring better health, hygiene or education.

This was after an exposure to Android for Kids at a technology summer camp hosted by AcadGild, the company said in a release.

Through the vPledge app, an individual can make a pledge such as planting 10 trees.
