A team of students from BLDEA’s V.P. Dr. P.G. Halakatti College of Engineering and Technology have developed ‘Discover Vijayapura’, a mobile application to help tourists.
The app aims to showcase the city’s rich historical heritage and culture. It provides comprehensive information, including details on both famous and lesser-known monuments in Vijayapura, customised tour itineraries, accommodation options, local cuisine, verified tourist guides, and traditional tonga rides.
