Abstract

Today’s Student community is one of the valuable resources of our nation and empowering the student community is one of the major responsibilities. Here This research focuses on the Higher education students, they are facing many struggles to successfully finish their higher studies. Mainly they are facing financial issues during this period and because of it students are skipping their higher education, moving to job opportunities. we can’t provide a solution at once, but they need some kind of support or motivation from the community to overcome these situations. At the same time, businesses need new strategies to capture customers for online shopping since online shopping mode is the upcoming trend. At this point, I want to raise a term called “Student Discount” which is familiar in some other countries and not a famous topic in Sri Lanka. Which is a gap in the Sri Lankan market. Where there is no e-platform to fulfill the gap with the required functionalities. So, as a solution for this came up with the mobile application and a web portal which can satisfy the requirements to fill the gap and give benefits to both Students and Businesses.
