Tourists will now be able to learn about the glorious history, rich heritage and culture of Madhya Pradesh through QR based audio guide. This is a new initiative of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, connecting the history of the state with technology. Tourism, Culture and Religious Trust and Endowment Minister Sushri Usha Thakur will launch QR based audio guide in 7 museums, on the occasion of International Museum Day at Lal Bagh Palace, Indore. Tourists will find interesting information about history in Hindi and English languages in the State Museum and Tribal Museum of Bhopal, Lalbagh Palace of Indore, Gujri Mahal Archaeological Museum of Gwalior, Maharaj Chhatrasal Museum of Dhubela and Observatory and Triveni Museum of Ujjain.
Principal Secretary Tourism and Culture Shri Sheo Shekhar Shukla said that it is a new initiative of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board to connect the common man, especially the youth, with the rich culture of the state. QR codes have been installed in 7 museums of the state, which on scanning from mobile phones will get complete information about the museum through audio guide. The QR’s have been strategically installed at the locations where there is no availability of guides and it does not hamper the scope of employment in any capacity. The only purpose of this initiative is to make it easier for the tourist to access information.
It is noteworthy that this technology is already being operated by the Tourism Board with the help of Sago organization at Kushabhau Thackeray International Convention Center (Minto Hall). Also, this technology is on testing mode at Lal Bagh Palace, Indore. Through the Sago Buddy app, tourists will be able to listen to history in audio format by scanning the QR code on their mobiles. QR codes have been installed in museums, which can be scanned to get history, detailed description and complete information.
