Hatey Bazarey – A novel approach to ensure food security in lockdown period through an Android App

Abstract

The adverse effects of the Novel Corona Virus or COVID – 19 on countries like United States of America, Italy, and Spain depicts how fast this virus can spread due to our irresponsible living habits. Till date, social distancing is the only solution to prevent the communal outspread of this pandemic. Other than fighting Corona, Government’s primary concern is to ensure proper food security for every citizen through Public Distribution System. But crowd management at such Fair Price Shops is a hectic job for the administration. Hence in this paper, we look forward to discussing a unique method of Public Distribution with the help of an Android App, named Hatey Bazarey, specially designed for Ration Dealers. Through this method, we aim to provide home delivery service of the lower-priced items as well as to keep a detailed record of the distributed items in a digital platform.
