Most of the incentives launched by Government of India to ease from this pandemic. Two IIIT students developed Telegram bot "CovWin alert” to send notification of availability of slots. UV–C , Cov–Tech and many more to provide safety and comfort to covid workers and citizens of country.


The Telegram bot -- "CoWIN alerts" -- developed by students of Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) in Delhi was launched in May and has amassed more than 40,000 users since.


The person who wants to book a slot has to provide their district name or pincode and their age group -- 18-44 years or 45 years and above.


The bot currently provides information for 5,002 pincodes and 594 districts. 


The bot then updates the person via notification once the slot is made available on the CoWIN portal. The message has information on which centre has the available slots, the number of slots available, and the date of availability.


This is very simple to operate this service. There is no long process for booking the slots, however it will take time to notify you.
