About mFMS Project

Honorable Finance Minister, Government of India, in the budget speech of 2011-12 referred to a task force constituted to work out the modalities for the proposed system of direct transfer of subsidy for kerosene, LPG and fertilizer. The Government of India constituted a task force on direct transfer of subsidies on kerosene, LPG and fertilizer under the chairmanship of Shri Nandan Nilekani to recommend and implement a solution for direct transfer of subsidies. For these purposes, an application called mFMS is developed to enable the transition and meet the overall objective of initiative.
Objective
The objective of the mFMS is to monitor the movement of the fertilizer from the Manufacturer to Warehouse to Wholesalers and from Wholesalers to Retailers. The proposed system will help in monitoring the movement of Fertilizers consignments and its stock position at various warehouses, wholesaler, and retailer. The system will also act as a tool for Government Bodies to track and ensure the timely distribution of fertilizers to the farmers An integrated solution consisting of multiple access channels has been found through Web Mobile
