Smart Akshaya Pathra application for orphans

Abstract

There are many paid applications in which end users may choose a food item per their choice, and order it, the drawbacks are customer is charged for service delivery, for the food item ordered, the time taking process to get an order is not within limits, User interface, functionalities may not good that impact the food delivery application usage. To overcome these challenges, and provide free service, and free food delivery, the food donors and food consumers both have to register in the Akshaya pathra application. The application aims to be recognizable by Govt. of India for its welfare of social food service as well as food to get the Guinness Book of World Records in terms of the maximum number of users getting food freely online compared to any other existing application. The significant features of this application are personalized windows for each user, several successful deliveries after validation that of recipient is genuine, the acceptance or reject the order from an orphan based on food collection from donors with specific reasons, and instant confirmation of order as well as recipient feedback satisfaction. The evaluation of this application depends on accuracy as well as security of customer information who get benefited from the food service.
