How the App Works

Open the app and enter the farmer's information.

Add animal details to the farmer's profile, starting with a photo of the muzzle.

Uploading a photo generates a Godhaar ID using a proprietary AI and ML-based algorithm.

This ID stores vaccination records, insurance details, ownership history, breeding data, and other information.

Through a user-friendly interface, the Godhaar ID remains valid for the entire lifespan of the animal.
