Nabin Pradhan, a 23-year-old student and
resident of Poolbazar, Darjeeling has made a name for himself in the
world of Information Technology by developing a mobile application to
promote Sikkim and Darjeeling.
The mobile app features a number of
information about tourism in Sikkim and Darjeeling with its main aim
being to help people know more about the two Himalayan destinations. The
application has been divided into four sections, the first section
contains brief information on Darjeeling and Sikkim, the second section
has information on locations, the third informs about various tourist
hot-spots, while the fourth section contains a photo gallery.
The application can be downloaded free
of cost and works on Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows Phone 8. The
application has received more than 90 downloads for the Darjeeling app
and around 70 downloads for the Sikkim app so far, according to Nabin.
Explaining the reason behind developing
the app, Navin says, “When I talk with people in South India about
Sikkim and Darjeeling, a majority of them do not know anything. That is
when it stuck to me that I should do something to make people aware
about the two places which are very dear to my heart.”
Nabin, an engineering and computer
science student, is currently pursuing his Masters in Technology from
VIT institute, Chennai. He is determined to make people worldwide know
about the two Himalayan tourist destinations. He has not only made his
parents proud, but also the entire people of Sikkim and Darjeeling by
making a name for him in the IT industry.
