Abstract

The rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has created unprecedented opportunities for rural and indigenous communities to participate in digital commerce. Tribal communities in India produce a diverse range of high-quality handmade and organic products including jewelry, herbal medicines, handicrafts, traditional clothing, and forest produce. However, these communities remain economically marginalized due to the absence of direct market access, dependence on exploitative intermediaries, low digital literacy, and limited connectivity infrastructure. This paper presents the design and development of a dedicated e-commerce platform specifically tailored for tribal artisans and sellers. The proposed system provides an accessible, secure, and inclusive digital marketplace where tribal sellers can register, upload products, manage orders, and receive direct payments, while customers can browse authentic tribal products with full traceability. Built using Django as the backend framework, MySQL as the database engine, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript for the frontend, the platform incorporates modules for user management, seller onboarding, product management, cart and order processing, digital payment integration, and administrative oversight. The system aims to eliminate middlemen, increase tribal household incomes, and preserve indigenous craftsmanship by connecting artisans directly to a nationwide consumer base. Experimental results demonstrate the practical feasibility and functional completeness of the proposed platform
