Client Background

Client Background

The Government of Maharashtra is the government of the state of Maharashtra, India. It is a democratically elected government with 288 MLAs elected to the legislative assembly for a 5-year term. Maharashtra has its own Legislature which consists of two Houses, the Vidhan Sabha and the Vidhan Parishad. As is the case in a parliamentary system, the government is formed by the party, alliance, or group of assembly members who command the majority in the Lower House. The lower House majority leader becomes the Chief Minister and selects the cabinet members from both Houses.

Objective

The goal of the Maharashtra State Government was to come up with a platform to help farmers directly sell their crops/ commodities at fair prices without the involvement of a third party. They wanted us to build a mobile application along with a dynamic website that will allow farmers to keep a track of the daily change in prices, laws, arrivals, etc. Available in two languages Marathi and English the platform also provides Horticulture training to keep the farmers updated.
