In the larger interests of the common devotees who are facing long waiting hours in queue lines and Vaikuntham complexes in Tirumala to have darshan of Sri Venkateswara Swamy, the TTD Board has decided to provide darshan to the devotees within the stipulated time using advanced AI technology in collaboration with Google, TCS and other organizations free of cost, the TTD Chairman stated in a statement.
The TTD Trust Board has decided to let the devotees know the darshan time of Srivaru in advance so that they can visit other temples without having to wait in compartments and serpentine queue lines for a long time.
The TTD Chairman also condemned the comments of retired senior IAS officer and former TTD EO LV Subramaniam that, without understanding the importance of AI technology, it is not correct for a senior and experienced person to make comments that AI technology is not suitable in Tirumala. Such comments create unnecessary confusion among the devotees.
“When the entire world is looking at AI technology to facilitate services around the world, the comments of LV Subramanyam not to implement AI policy in TTD are not justifiable, and I am leaving that to his wisdom”, the Chairman reiterated.
