BLDEA students develop ‘Discover Vijayapura’ tourism app
A group of students from V.P. Dr. P.G. Halakatti College of Engineering and Technology at BLDEA have created a mobile application named 'Discover Vijayapura'. The app is designed to assist tourists in exploring the city's historical heritage and culture. It offers comprehensive information on Vijayapura's monuments, customized tour plans, lodging choices, local culinary options, approved tour guides, and traditional tonga rides, making it easier for visitors to navigate and plan their visit.
Datta Kambagi, Yaris Nadaf, Ishwar Shatagar, and Darshan Vali developed the app under the supervision of Sumangala Biradar, the department head, and Manjunath P., the principal. The app was unveiled on World Tourism Day, September 27, at the historic Ibrahim Rauza in Vijayapura. During the launch, Dr. Biradar discussed 'Redesigning Tourism through Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence', emphasizing how technology can improve the tourist experience and expose the city's historical and cultural wealth to a broader audience.
The BLDEA administration and faculty members commended the students on their achievement.
