Introduction

In every family or community, there are moments when we need to ask for something. It could be as small as sharing a photo from a function, or as important as finding a career opportunity or a matrimonial match. Usually, these requests happen through scattered phone calls, endless chaotic chats, or messages that often get lost in the noise.

The Parivar App solves this problem with a simple yet powerful feature: Requests. It’s a space where you can post what you need, in an organized way, and be sure that the right people in your community will see it.

What Kind of Requests Can You Make?

The feature is flexible and covers many everyday needs:

1. Event Related Requests 

  • Organizing a cultural function, religious festival, or a community event? Instead of chasing volunteers one by one, simply post a request for help whether it’s for arranging food, managing music, or setting up decorations.
  • Suppose your community is celebrating Navratri and you need people to help with decoration or dandiya passes. Instead of messaging everyone separately, just post a request. People who are free can quickly volunteer.

2. Matrimonial Requests

  • Finding a life partner is easier when the community is involved. With this feature, families can post matrimonial requests safely within their network.
  • If a family is looking for a suitable match for their daughter or son, they can create a matrimonial request with basic details. For example: “Looking for a groom for our daughter, 27 years old, teacher by profession.”

3. Financial or Support Requests

  • Life sometimes brings challenges. When there’s a need for financial help, blood donation, or emotional support, members can post requests and receive timely assistance from those who care.
  • Imagine someone’s relative needs blood urgently. A request like “Need O+ blood donor at City Hospital by tomorrow” can reach the right people instantly. Similarly, if a friend of yours is going through hardship, they can request financial help.

4. Resource Sharing Requests

  • Have extra chairs for an event, books for students, or even equipment lying unused? Request or share resources without hesitation, keeping things within the trusted circle of your community.
  • Students preparing for exams might post: “Looking for Class 12 Science guidebooks”. Another member who has them can respond and share. Or, someone organizing a small gathering can request extra chairs, tables, or sound systems.

5. Album or Media Requests

  • We all know how hard it is to gather event photos from everyone. With a simple request, you can collect albums and media from community members in one place.
  • After a wedding, instead of chasing multiple people for photos, a family can simply post: “Please share wedding photos of the Sharma family function.” Members can upload and contribute easily.

6. Educational or Career Requests

  • Need guidance for higher studies, coaching classes, or career advice? The request feature helps students and professionals connect with mentors within the community.
  • A college student might request: “Guidance needed for MBA entrance preparation”, and a senior in the community who has already cleared it can offer tips or coaching support.

7. Job Requests

  • Looking for a new role or want to share an opening at your company? Job requests ensure opportunities stay within the community before going outside.
  • A member could post: “Opening for an accountant in our firm, 2+ years experience required.” Others can apply directly or refer people. Likewise, someone looking for a job can request leads.

8. App-Specific Requests

  • If you ever need help understanding a feature on the Parivar App, you can make a direct request for support here as well.
  • For example, if someone isn’t sure how to update their family album on the app, they can post a request: “Need help in uploading photos to our community album.”

How Does the Request Feature Work and How to Create a Request?

The Request feature is designed to be simple for anyone to use. Here’s how it works:

  • Add a Title: Write a short and clear headline for your request, like “Volunteers needed for Ganesh Utsav” or “Looking for Maths tutor.”
  • Set End Date & Time: Every request has a deadline. This helps others know how urgent it is and by when they should respond.
  • Choose the Request Type: Select the right category such as event, job, matrimonial, resource sharing, or others. This makes it easier for people to identify what you need.
  • Write a Description: Give a few details so members understand your request better. For example: “We need 5 volunteers for decoration on 10th Sept, 5 PM onwards.”
  • Add Contact Number: Share how you’d like to be contacted (call or WhatsApp). This way, responses reach you directly.
  • Enter Address (if needed): If your request is location-based, like a blood donation at a hospital or volunteers at a venue, you can add the address.

Once you post, everyone in your community using the Parivar App can view it. They can respond immediately, making the whole process smooth and transparent.

Why Is This Feature Important?

These days, everyone is juggling busy schedules, and it’s easy for important messages to get lost. The Request feature makes sure that doesn’t happen. Everything stays in one place, simple to follow and easy to respond to.

  • One request, many eyes: Instead of repeating yourself to different people, you post once and everyone in your community can see it.
  • Nothing slips through: Whether it’s about a job opening, a matrimonial proposal, or an upcoming event, your request stays visible until its end date.
  • Safe and private: All requests remain within your trusted family or community circle.
  • Support made easy: When people clearly know what’s needed, they’re more likely to step in and help.

In short, this feature takes the everyday back-and-forth out of the process and makes asking for help or sharing opportunities simple and stress-free.

Different Community Activities You Can Organize Using Parivar App

Strong communities are built on shared experiences. Whether it’s celebrating festivals, learning together, or giving back to society, community activities help people connect beyond daily routines.

Enable or disable registration based on the nature of the activity. Set participation limits for camps or sessions. Define a registration window so members know when to sign up.

Skill-building sessions add long-term value, especially for children, youth, and working professionals. Popular workshop ideas: Kids’ art & craft classes Financial planning or investment awareness sessions Digital literacy workshops for seniors How Parivar helps: Add clear descriptions and target audience. Add a registration link or payment details if the workshop has charges. Track who has registered and whether they have completed payment. Share updates or follow-up information easily. Members are more likely to attend when they understand the value of the session and have all details in advance exactly what Parivar enables. 3. Social Service & Volunteering Drives Activities that give back to society help build empathy and unity. Communities often organize blood donation camps, cleanliness drives, donation collections, or tree plantation programs. How Parivar helps: Clearly state the purpose and impact of the drive. Run both free and paid drives with transparent participation controls. Coordinate volunteers efficiently. View complete participation details in one place. Share post-event updates and appreciation messages. Transparency and organization increase trust and participation. Parivar ensures volunteers know exactly how and where they can contribute. 4. Community Networking & Social Meetups Not all activities need a formal agenda. Informal meetups help members build stronger personal connections.

How to Increase Member Engagement in Your Community

Building a digital home for your community on Parivar app is a great first step. But once the members are there, the real work begins: keeping the conversation flowing and making sure everyone feels like they truly belong. A community isn't just a list of names and phone numbers; it’s a living, breathing group of people. If your community space has been a bit quiet lately, here are some simple ways to encourage more participation. Everyday Practices That Encourage Community Participation Small, thoughtful actions that help members feel welcomed, heard, and comfortable taking part. 1. Start with a Warm Welcome Think of your community app like your own home. When someone walks in, you don’t ignore them, you greet them. When a new member joins: Tag them in a post and say hello Invite them to share a short introduction When elders and leaders take the first step in welcoming new members, it sets the tone. Younger members feel more comfortable joining conversations when they see familiar names being active and friendly. 2. Understand Who Your Members Are Not everyone engages in the same way. Some members love to post and comment, while others prefer to quietly read updates. Some elders may hesitate to post, while younger members may be unsure if their voice matters. Understanding your community means paying attention to: Different age groups Comfort with technology Interests and availability When communication feels inclusive and respectful, people are more likely to participate at their own pace. 3. Share Stories, Not Just Announcements If a community space is used only for official updates or serious announcements, it can start to feel heavy. Engagement grows when people are invited to share stories, memories, and everyday moments. Simple ideas that work well: Post an old photo and ask, “Who remembers where this was taken?” Invite members to share a traditional recipe passed down in the family. Ask members to talk about their first job, first home, or first visit to their ancestral village. Stories create warmth and invite natural participation. 4. Keep Communication in One Place When information is scattered across multiple WhatsApp groups and personal messages, people miss updates and slowly disconnect. Having one central place for: Announcements Discussions Events Celebrations helps members know exactly where to look. Clear, organized communication reduces confusion and builds trust. 5. Make Participation Easy and Comfortable People don’t avoid engagement because they are uninterested. Often, they avoid it because participation feels complicated. Engagement improves when: Posting or responding takes very little effort The app feels simple enough for elders and youngsters alike Members don’t feel pressured to write long messages The easier it is to participate, the more people will do it, sometimes even with just a photo or a short comment. 6. Use Pictures to Bridge the Distance A long message might be skipped, but a photo almost always gets attention. Encourage members to: Share a childhood photo alongside a current one (“then and now”). Post a quick selfie when a few family members meet for coffee or dinner. Share photos from small gatherings or events. Pictures remind everyone that the community is active in real life, not just on a screen. 7. Celebrate the Small Wins Big events like weddings and festivals are important, but small moments are what make people feel truly seen. Make space to celebrate: Exam results or academic achievements Job changes or promotions Birthdays and anniversaries Even a simple congratulatory message from members can brighten someone’s day and strengthen bonds. 8. Keep a Regular Rhythm, Without Overcrowding Posting too often can push people away, while posting too little can make the space feel inactive. A steady rhythm works best: A weekly “Member Spotlight”. A short wisdom quote from an elder. A simple question at the end of a post. Instead of just sharing information, invite replies. Small questions often lead to more natural responses. 9. Be Open and Transparent Engagement grows when members trust the space. Share: Decisions clearly Updates honestly Outcomes openly When people understand what’s happening and why, they feel respected and included, not left out. 10. Use Technology to Support Real Connections Technology should make community life easier, not replace relationships. A good community app helps people: Stay informed without overload Participate without pressure Stay connected even when they are busy or far away Used thoughtfully, tools like Parivar app simply bring people closer and make everyday connection smoother. 11. Use Events to Bring People Together Events are one of the strongest ways to increase engagement. They give members a reason to come together, whether online or offline. Sharing event details clearly, sending reminders, and posting updates before and after the event keeps the excitement alive.  Even members who cannot attend feel connected when they see photos or updates later. Regular community events help strengthen relationships and make the community feel active and alive. 12. Keep Improving Based on What Works Engagement is not a one-time effort. It needs regular attention. Observe: What type of posts get responses? Which events have good participation? Where do members lose interest? Use these insights to improve gradually. Even small changes can make a big difference over time. Creating a Community People Want to Be Part Of Increasing member engagement is about creating a space where people want to be involved. Strong communities grow when people feel welcomed, heard, and comfortable being themselves. When communication is clear, participation is simple, and small moments are valued, engagement builds on its own. With a thoughtful approach and a shared space like Parivar, communities can stay connected, even across distance and busy lives, making it easier for everyone to take part in everyday moments that truly matter. If your community hasn’t already, you can download the Parivar app on iOS and Android to create a single, comfortable space where these everyday interactions can happen naturally. Your first step this week:  Go to your Parivar app’s feed right now and post one old photo. Don't worry about the caption, just ask 'Who remembers this?' and see what happens. Consistency over time is key. Watch how a small, genuine effort can start a ripple effect of connection across your community.
