\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSince 2016, every year, The Government of India celebrates \u2018Bharat Parv\u2019, a six-day event from the 26th to the 31st of January, marking Republic Day of India- one of the 2 national days of the country. An initiative to feature and promote India\u2019s spirit of freedom, its culture, traditions, food diversity and local businesses (vocal for local). Deriving its values from the Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat initiatives, Bharat Parv is in itself a spectrum of India\u2019s uniqueness and the enthusiasm to celebrate it.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDue to persistent waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2021, the Government of India looked towards a new dimension of hosting events, Virtual Events. The idea was to find and formulate a strategy that allowed hosting the \u2018Bharat Parv\u2019 in its entire extravagance while maintaining the necessary safety guidelines to spread the colossal virus outbreak. Bharat Parv marks great importance for India and its people, hence there was an ardent need to find the right solution to this problem, but the challenge was not ordinary.\n
    \n
  • Bharat Parv has always been a physical event, hence the virtual event must match to standards of its exuberance, grandeur, engagement and interactions. <\/li>\n
  • Being an event of patriotism, it has sentiments attached and the virtual counterpart must inspire the attendees in the same way with its theme, environment and user interface. <\/li>\n
  • Each year Bharat Parv witnesses vivid tableaus and demonstrations from all the Indian states and various ministries, hence the virtual event must be robust and reliable enough to live stream all these seamlessly to the attendees across the globe. <\/li>\n
  • India\u2019s Republic Day is a grand celebration and attendees from all over the world visit to celebrate the establishment of India\u2019s constitution, fraternity and oneness. Therefore, it is important for the virtual counterpart to be stable enough to sustain thousands of attendees at all times. <\/li>\n
  • Also, the event has its own values and importance thus the virtual event must adhere to the same values and induce the same in the attendees with its overall experience. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTo conduct such a grand event like the Bharat Parv virtually meant catering to thousands of attendees for six days without a glitch, because what lies at stake is the reputation and honour of India.

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe began the process by understanding the requirements and the key focus areas for the event and came up with the following solutions:\n
      \n
    • Since the Republic Day Parade is held every year at the Lal Quila in Delhi, hence a life-like, immersive, 3D replica of the Lal Quila was created as the environment for the virtual Bharat Parv 2021. <\/li>\n
    • The event theme was kept according to the Indian Tricolour to beautify the environment and engulf the attendees in the flavours of Indian pride, enthusiasm and patriotism. <\/li>\n
    • Separate Auditoriums were created for ministries, states, armed forces, cuisines, cultural performances and more. <\/li>\n
    • A dedicated auditorium was created specifically for the Inauguration event which was streamed live right from the Lal Quila, Delhi, to over a hundred thousand attendees globally. <\/li>\n
    • Each Pavillion provided to a ministry, state or any other organization, was skillfully curated in their associated colours and ethos to create a sense of nostalgia among the attendees for their native places. <\/li>\n
    • Each exhibitor participating in the Bharat Parv 2021 was provided with a dedicated 3D virtual booth designed to showcase their offerings in the form of detailed videos, photos, downloadable pdfs and more <\/li>\n
    • Keeping in mind the magnanimity of the event worldwide, we designed the entire event to accommodate over a million attendees throughout the span of six days. <\/li>\n
    • Among the key focus areas was to design a robust attendee interaction framework that allowed seamless interaction among attendees and with the exhibitors. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A smooth and unhindered live broadcast directly from the Lal Quila in Delhi, staging the sky for the unfurling of the Indian Tricolour and the glorious words from the Honourable Prime Minister, Shri. Narendra Modi. The event was inaugurated by the Member of Parliament and the Lok Sabha Speaker, Shri Om Birla in the presence of the Minister of Tourism, Culture and DoNER, Shri Prahlad Singh Patel and many other dignitaries.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Every year Ministry of Tourism organizes the Bharat Parv and in 2021 virtual Bharat Parv, the Ministry of Culture & Tourism was provided with three virtual pavilions, Dekho Apna Desh, Statue of Unity, and Incredible India.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Also, high-resolution videos, images & e-brochures etc., were shared to shed light on the information related to UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India and India\u2019s lesser-known destinations and excursions.
