Details

Fori Mazdoori can also be seen as facebook of labour-workers, where technology-literate users can ‘search, add, rate and comment about labour. Moreover, with this technology, illiterate users can get the incentives of social-media without needing to know any technology at all. FM relies on strong contribution from the community of its users to voluntarily add labour into the FM system. The volunteer act of ‘adding labour’ translates into true empowerment of labourers (i.e. helping them become searchable in FM labour search).

The labour becomes directly connected with the employers through an integrated usage of smart-phone apps, dumb mobile phones and a website. On the hiring front, the employer can recruit peer rated labour through one click on their smart-phone app (both IOS + Android). The labours on the other end always receive phone calls for employment. Labour can either self register (if technology literate) or request a Fori Mazdoori user to add them into the FM system. We foresee and have built FM as a ‘social media of labour-workers’ where labour too, have friends, testimonials, reviews and ratings. Furthermore, it allows the labour workers to benefit from other social media features such as better networking, connectivity and visibility.

Fori Mazdoori Apps (both IOS + Android):

Fori Mazdoori system has two basic apps that have been tailor made for people looking to search labour and a distinct app called Fori Mazdoori Registrar for our volunteers and registrars.

1.    Fori Mazdoori App: This is the basic app that allows its users to search labour. We are currently working on newer version that will allow all users to add labour into the system.

2.    Fori Mazdoori Registrar: The Fori Mazdoori Registrar app works in an offline mode that allows our volunteers and registrars to add labour into the Fori Mazdoori system.
