Md. Ibrahim Mollah, a talented student of the Daffodil Institute of IT (DIIT) which is part of the Daffodil Education Network, has developed an innovative app named “Bazardar.” The app is designed to ensure the accuracy of market prices and has the potential to play pivotal role in breaking market syndicates. While not yet officially launched, the app requires government approval to reach its full potential in serving the public. To endorse this Apps introduction, a press conference held this morning to attracting the attention of government authorities.
The press meet took place on Wednesday, September 18, at the 71 Auditorium of Daffodil Tower on Mirpur Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. Dr. Mohammad Nuruzzaman, Chief Executive Officer of the Daffodil Family, was present as the chief guest. The event was presided over by Professor Dr. Sakhawat Hossain, Principal of DIIT, and featured speeches from Md. Imran Hossain, Head of the Computer Science and Engineering Department, Omar Faruk, Head of the MBA Program, and Laksman Chandra Robi Das, Head of the BBA Program at DIIT.
Md. Ibrahim Mollah, the sole developer of the app, showcased the app’s features and expressed his intention to provide it to the Bangladesh government completely free of charge, without any sponsorship or financial backing. The Bazardar app offers a user-friendly platform where consumers can access accurate, district-wise price lists of essential food items, helping to ensure fair market practices. Users can show government-regulated price ranges directly to shopkeepers, helping prevent overpricing. The app also provides the contact numbers for district authorities, allowing users to report any price violations quickly and easily.
One of the app’s key features is its ability to work offline with previously loaded data, making it highly functional even in areas without internet access. Additionally, the app operates independently without any government funding, offering its services completely free to users. The app’s design ensures easy navigation, making it accessible to all users, including those new to technology. With its efficient structure, the app requires minimal training for government employees, with a maximum of one hour needed to become fully proficient. Importantly, the app requires no additional staffing to operate and can be handed over to the government free of charge. In conclusion, Md. Ibrahim Mollah emphasized his commitment to using new technology to address market pricing issues in Bangladesh, urging the government to consider the app for national rollout.
