Mr. Henry, after being successful as a businessman and has become one of the wealthiest persons
in the city. Now, Mr. Henry wants to help others to fulfil their dreams. One day, Mr. Henry went to
meet his childhood friends Peter, Kevin and Ben. They live in a remote village and do farming. Mr.
Henry asked his friends if they are facing any difficulties in their day-to-day work.
Peter told Mr. Henry that he is facing difficulties in procuring fertilizers which are very important for
farm. Kevin said that he is also facing the same problem in-case of buying seeds for farming certain
crops. Ben raised his concern on lack of pesticides which could help in greatly reducing pests in
crops.
After listening to all his friends’ problems, Mr. Henry thought that this is a crucial problem faced not
only by his friends but also by so many other farmers. So, Mr. Henry decided to make an online
agriculture product store to facilitate remote area farmers to buy agriculture products. Through this
Online Web / mobile Application, Farmers and Companies (Fertilizers, seeds and pesticides
manufacturing Companies) can communicate directly with each other.
The main purpose to build this online store is to facilitate farmers to buy seeds, pesticides, and
fertilizers from anywhere through internet connectivity. Since new users are involved, Application
should be user friendly.
This new application should be able to accept the product (fertilizers, seeds, pesticides) details from
the manufacturers and should be able to display them to the Farmers. Farmers will browse through
these products and select the products what they need and request to buy them and deliver them
to farmers location.
Mr. Henry has given this project through his Company SOONY. In SOONY Company, Mr Pandu is
Financial Head and Mr Dooku is Project Coordinator. Mr. Henry , Mr Pandu , and Mr Dooku formed
