Selenium chromedriver get element and fill form

I am looking forward to filling in the form at this website. In the very first step, I am unable to find out the element corresponding to the first dropdown menu of 'State Name :'. Any help will be appreciated. Here is what I have tried so far:

import os
from selenium import webdriver
driver_path = r'pathtochromedriver\chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)
driver.get('https://app.cpcbccr.com/ccr/#/caaqm-dashboard-all/caaqm-landing/data')
elem = driver.find_element_by_name('State Name :')

You got this element in a wrong way.Selenium couldn't find it.

If you just want to get the elements in first dropdown, try code below:

import time
from selenium import webdriver
import os

driver_path = r'pathtochromedriver\chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)
driver.get('https://app.cpcbccr.com/ccr/#/caaqm-dashboard-all/caaqm-landing/data')
time.sleep(8) # sleep some time for waiting(It depends on your internet speed).You could also try WebDriverWait or implicitly_wait

elem = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('toggle')[0] # get the first dropdown button
elem.click() # click it.
 
dropdown = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.options')
for state in dropdown.find_elements_by_css_selector('li'):
    print(state.text) # get the text in dropdown menu

And this gave me:

Andhra Pradesh
Assam
Bihar
Chandigarh
Delhi
Gujarat
Haryana
Jharkhand
Karnataka
Kerala
Madhya Pradesh
Maharashtra
Meghalaya
Mizoram
Nagaland
Odisha
Punjab
Rajasthan
Tamil Nadu
Telangana
Uttar Pradesh
West Bengal
