The website is https://mahamts.in/login, and the MahaMTS App is available in Google Play Store.
It is possible to easily fill the information to department officials, Anganwadi workers and supervisors.

The reasons for seasonal migration of native addresses of pregnant women, lactating women, children aged zero to three years, children aged three to six years and children aged 6-18 years can be obtained.
