Abstract:
Student community is a major valuable resource of any nation. This project problem domain and
proposed solution focus on Sri Lankan Community. Sri Lanka is a middle-income country where
all kind and state of people are living. Different communities have different problem here we
mainly focus on Higher education student’s community and the related business-related
community.
Since Sri Lanka is a middle-income country higher education student community is facing a lot
of issues in terms of finance. Major source of a higher education student is parent’s investment
and their own income. But In this advanced world expense of a person has increased a lot. So, for
a lower and middle-income family investing in higher education and other expense is not
affordable.
Also, Sri Lanka has limited state university opportunities for students and where rest of the
students should figure out something in private institutions. For a lower and middle- income
families it is a major challenge. To manage this kind a problem some students work part time,
work overtime, skip higher education and drop out from higher studies and so on. Also, Higher
education students in Sri Lanka does not feel special or doesn’t get highlighted at any points.
Considering all these facts they need some financial aid from other communities and where it can
give them a motivation to make sure they go through all these situations with some kind a support
and successfully graduates.
Here we introduce a term call “Student Discount” which is really a famous concept in other
countries and not even under consideration in Sri Lanka.
Where students get discounts from businesses for their purchase since they are higher education
students. There are some shops where they provide discounts even now for physical purchase.
Since the shopping mode is moving towards Online these days business need a way to use the
student discount strategy for online shopping. This plan focusses on particular target market, so
they need some sort of verification method to provide the benefit only for that target market. But
there are no e-platform where they can verify higher education students and provide the benefit"
