New Delhi: Capturing the milestones India has achieved in its journey of 75 years since Independence, software giant Google on Friday unveiled a vibrant online project drawing from rich archives and featuring artistic illustrations to tell the story of the country.
Named India ki Udaan, the project executed by Google Arts & Culture celebrates the countrys achievements and is themed on the unwavering and undying spirit of India over these past 75 years.
The project was officially launched at a glittering event held at the Sunder Nursery here in the presence of Union Culture and Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy and senior officials of the Culture Ministry and Google.
As part of the countrywide celebrations, Google also announced its collaboration with the Ministry of Culture focused on reaching informative online content that showcases the contributions of Indians and the evolution of India since 1947 to support the Governments year-long Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav programme, the search giant said in a statement.
It also announced that its popular Doodle4Google contest for 2022, themed on In the next 25 years, my India will …, is now open for entries to students of classes 1-10.
The winner of this years Doodle4Google will see their artwork on the Google homepage in India on November 14, and win a Rs 5,00,000 college scholarship, a Rs 2,00,000 technology package for their school/non-profit organisation, a recognition of achievement, Google hardware, and fun Google collectibles. Four group winners and 15 finalists will also win exciting prizes, it said in the statement.
Reddy, in his address, urged the Google team to create a special doodle on Har Ghar Tiranga, which would encourage its employees and others to also enthusiastically take part in the campaign.
In his speech, he also said Google could help the Culture Ministry in digital mapping of the boundaries of its over 3,000 centrally protected monuments that will help in better monitoring of the sites and checking encroachment.
It can also help in digitisation of rare archival material, he said.
Therefore, we urge Google team to be a partner in the governments transformative journey, as also promote Indias tourism destinations, Reddy said.
The government issued a statement later saying the event was a continuation of the decade-long partnership between the Ministry of Culture and Google. This joint venture was organised under the aegis of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.
India today is in the middle of digital, data and disintermediation revolution. Digital revolution coupled with ease of doing business has allowed common Indian citizens to avail of services in a faceless,
presence less and cashless manner, Reddy was quoted as saying in the statement.
