TTD introduced Govinda App to facilitate devotees

Tirupati, Dec 18: The TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam) had taken a major step in digitalization.

The Government-backed rest houses are available at just Rs.50 on Tirumala. But many pilgrims find it difficult to book a slot for them. Similarly, many devotees and pilgrims rely on commission agents and third-party persons for various services on Tirumala.

To eliminate such difficulties, and to make pilgrim's stay at Tirumala much easier, safer and happier, the TTD has come forward with a unique app called 'Govinda'. The prestigious Govinda App is created by TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) with the help of various departments of TTD.

Govinda app has already been designed by Tata Consultancy Services. It already contains information on accommodation and services. This can be obtained through ticketing releases of monthly lucky dips.

Govinda has put information from Rs 50 to other large collections. It has been further developed and the TCS employees are working to make it the ultimate in the future. More facilities in Govind App will be available to the devotees in 2018.

The Govinda App would feature 12 inbuilt applications right from booking rest houses, Dakshan tickets and various other services on Tirumala. The app is currently in beta stage and further improvements are in progress.

The TTD stated that it also featured one-touch 'Feedback/Complaint' form for the pilgrims. Let us hope that 'Govinda' App makes our pilgrimage to Govinda much easier and enjoyable.
