The data collected through the mobile application can be monitored and reports generated through the web portal. In future, additional modules are proposed to be developed under the AIDEA application to facilitate the direct collection of price data of various commodities collected on a daily basis by the Department from markets, and to provide timely analytics and related information to the general public.
