Tribal Research And Training Institute, Pune, Govt. Of Maharashtra
About Maha Tribes
Maha Tribes is a project of the Maharashtra State Tribal Research and Training Institute in Pune, which is an autonomous entity of the Maharashtra government that was founded in 1962 under a centrally sponsored plan.
In the tribal-dominated states of the country, tribal research and training institutions are conducting studies on many aspects of tribal issues. To address one of these issues, TRTI encapsulated Maha tribes by providing a digital identification for self-help groups (SHGs) / Scheduled tribes Artisans of Maharashtra to promote their goods, hence improving their exposure and value.
Maha Tribes - An Ecommerce Marketplace to Empower Tribal Artisans and SHGs
Self Help Groups (SHGs) and artisans should be included in e-Commerce, according to TRTI.
TRTI has developed Maha Tribes, an e-marketplace Web Portal and Mobile App for Maharashtra's Self Help Groups (SHGs) / Scheduled Tribes Artisans.
Supporting SHGs/ Scheduled Tribes artisans' economic recovery and maximising their digital potential, with an emphasis on supporting digital inclusion, is one of TRTI's primary initiatives for promoting SHGs/ Scheduled Tribes artisans.
Therefore Transactions must be expedited using Ecommerce platforms to allow SHGs/ Scheduled Tribes artisans to compete effectively in the increasingly digitised and networked industry.
TRTI believes Micro businesses belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC&STs) can have the same access to the national and international markets as larger businesses if given the right ecosystem, support, policies and regulations environment.
TRTI envisions adapting and improving the economic stagnation with resources and entities to provide digital visibility, business connections, and increased value for products of SHGs/artisans in Maharashtra through a E-commerce profiling platform and Mobile App.
