From an Idea to Reality

Imagine passing through an overflowing garbage can everyday to work. This could have gone on forever but then one of us stumbled upon an idea to send in a complaint to the City officials standing right there, without having to make a call or a cumbersome visit to the nearest City development office. How cool it will be to have someone see the complaint and call you back to fix it as soon as possible!

The thought was backed by a powerful will to come up with a tool that can help citizens file complaints regarding their periphery from any location they prefer. A simple phone call or by clicking a few buttons on a mobile, well, that’s how My City My Pride (MCMP) helps you connect with the city development authorities to get issues fixed without much trouble.
