Reliance Foundation, set up in 2010, has partnered with Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Govt. of India to develop MACHLI (fish) an android application, a one-stop solution for all marine information needs.
Machli provides Ocean State Forecast and Potential Fishing Zone information to users in eight Indian languages spoken across the landing centres lying across the coastal states/districts. This easy-to-use app supports the seasonally migrating fisherfolk/women to access the advisories in their native language for all the landing centres lying within 500km from their current location. For every selected landing centre, the information is provided up to 100km into the ocean. Reliance Foundation Toll-Free Help Line facility(1800-419-8800) is available in the application to support the users with all further clarifications.
