| Data
and documentation, map views, photographs and routes to tourist destinations
in the district can now be accessed from anywhere in the globe by downloading
an Android-based appliance, ‘Magnificent Kadapa’. It is an App with a
colourful interface developed by the Kadapa district administration. |
|
| Chief
Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu launched the App at a public meeting at
Vontimitta on Thursday night. Lauding Collector K.V. Ramana’s initiative in
developing the App to promote tourism in the district, Mr. Naidu said details
of the App should be forwarded to the government for developing a similar App
that provides data on tourist destinations across the State. |
|
| “The
Android App facilitates selection of tourist spots through slider menus to
browse comprehensive data on places of historic importance and routes to
those places, web-linked external documentation, photographs and GPS-based
Google Map views,” Mr. Ramana said. |
|
| Two
variants of the App – English and Telugu – can be downloaded from Google
PlayStore by searching for apk files ‘MagnificentKadapa.apk’ and
‘MagnificentKadapaTelugu.apk’. The brochure on the App can be downloaded from
http://kadapa.nic.in. |

| The App
has data on Sri Kodandarama Swamy Brahmotsavams at Vontimitta and places such
as Adapur, Ameen Peer Dargah, Attirala, Brahmamgari Matham, Chintakunta,
Danavulapadu, Devunikadapa, Gandi, Nandalur, Polathala, Pushpagiri and
