The main developer of the Aarogya Setu App is the National Informatics Centre. This is a type of mobile tracking application that can be downloaded by the people in India. For those who are not aware, the name Aarogya Setu means “Bridge from freeness from the disease.”

There are a lot of people who are getting affected by the virus every day. The government wishes that through the app, it can help people understand the virus better by knowing the symptoms that they have to watch out for.

At the same time, it will also help people know what to do if in case they have already acquired the virus. By raising awareness, people may actually become free from the disease.

The Aarogya Setu App is an app that has been created by the government of India. The country knows that it would like to get the virus under control. The problem is that there are so many people in India that it will be hard to keep track of them all.

Since the app can be downloaded by a lot of people in India, it will allow the government to know their personal information. There is no need to worry because the personal information will not be released to other third party websites or apps.

The personal information will just be used to keep track of the people who are in the area. Those who are showing symptoms of having the disease can be quarantined or would need to be brought to the hospital so that their condition can possibly be stabilized.

This tracking app is free, which is one of the reasons why the people in India have downloaded the app. They are required to turn on their Bluetooth and location at all times. This has become the top app right now because people would like to know more about how they can possibly not get the virus, especially when they try to go out.

The correct answer to this question is the Government of India. The ministry of IT and electronics in India worked to create this app, to help keep the people of India safe and updated about their risk of contracting the virus.

Aarogya Setu is done through using Bluetooth on the users device. It also uses a social graph and will take the persons movements through the app. If a person happens to come in contact or close proximity to someone with the virus, the app will alert them of this information. The app also gives information on social distancing and staying safe.
