The application has nine modules which include village guard system, resource management, disaster response, command and control centre, missing child tracker, foster care tracker, job verification, staff management and fake news mitigation.

The Smart Zunheboto Police application is claimed to have an integrated ecosystem with people, technology, data and processes engaging ministry, administration, constabulary and citizens.
