The Client

Forest & Environment Department, Government of Odisha

The Challenge

To develop an application that can track animals, especially elephants when they try to enter human habitat. To help public/ Forest Department officials to send alerts to the Forest Control Room to spread awareness and avoid human-wildlife conflict. Also, to facilitate green cover and maintain an ecological balance.

The Solution

After a thorough analysis of the client requirements, Gemini’s team of experts decided to develop and design a mobile application that makes it easier for the locals to communicate with the Forest Department officials. Using our expertise in UI/UX design and best practices, we have developed a mobile app that is as intuitive as possible. The app is easy to navigate and helps users to accomplish their desired tasks in a faster and secure manner. The app is available in both English and Odia languages.

The Benefits

Bana Sathi Mobile App can track animals, especially elephants in group or single, when they try to enter human habitat. Public/ Forest Department officials can use the same app to send alerts to the Forest Control Room, thereby, spreading awareness among villagers. This app will act as a bridge between the Forest Department and locals thus helping to prevent possible human-wildlife conflict. The Forest officials can also use the app to check and curb illegal activities in the forest. In addition, the app will help increase greenery by providing information to public on saplings distribution by the Forest Department.
