New Delhi: The Hajj Suvidha App that would provide the necessary information and direct access to important services like training modules, flight details, and accommodation to those embarking on the annual pilgrimage was launched on Sunday.
A two-day Training of Trainers Programme as part of preparations for Hajj 2024 was also kicked off here at the Vigyan Bhavan. More than 550 trainers from various states and Union Territories attended the programme, according to an official statement.
The Training of Trainers Programme is intended to sensitise and educate the trainers who impart further training to the Hajj pilgrims to ensure that the pilgrims have a fulfilling experience and are aware of the various aspects of the pilgrimage, it said.
Features of the Hajj Suvidha app
The Hajj Suvidha App has been developed by BISAG-N under the able guidance of the Union Minister for Minority Affairs, and will be a "game changer" in the pilgrimage experience, according to officials. It will provide the necessary information and direct access to important services like training modules, flight details, accommodation, emergency helpline, and health among others at the fingertips of the pilgrims.
The pilgrims would be able to focus better on their spiritual journey and forget about mundane tasks like travel, luggage, and documents. The App offers solutions to common problems faced by the pilgrims during their journey and will be a boon, especially to those performing Hajj for the first time in their life.
Haj Guide 2024
The Hajj Guide-2024 is prepared to make pilgrims aware of various aspects of the pilgrimage with special emphasis on the use of the Hajj Suvidha App for the pilgrims. The guide is published in 10 languages and will be issued to all the Hajj pilgrims.
