Mysore:Last  years Mysore Dasara saw several NCC cadets  assisting the cops in regulating traffic at various signal points in the  cultural  city. This Dasara, many more students are joining in; not to regulate traffic but to be guides to tourists  visiting the city for the world famous Mysore Dasara.

Every year there is a huge influx of tourists  during  Dasara festivities. The tourist flow  in fact does not reduce even until November. Students have now donned the new role of tourist guides keeping in mind the increasing number of tourists visiting the city.

Info Centres:A total of 16 information centres have been opened in the city to furnish information about the Dasara programmes and also regarding the places of tourist importance in and around Mysore. Students of the Mysore Tourism College, manage these centres and offer all information sought by tourists.

Students undergoing tourism courses are inducted into these information centres as tourism members. Apart from furnishing information to tourists, they also hand over informative booklets and also  handouts on the  Dasara programmes to the tourists, free of cost.

Foreign students to assist foreign tourists :

Students from across the world are undergoing different courses in various educational institutions in the city. Some of these foreign students themselves  have been appointed in the Information Centres   to answer the  calls of foreign tourists received by  the Control Room at the DC office seeking information. These foreign students will guide the foreign tourists  regarding Dasara and various programmes, in their own language.

Location: Tourist information centres are operating at St Philomena Church, Chamarajendra Zoo, Amba Vilasa  Palace Varaha Gate, Balarama Dwara, Rural bus terminus, Chamundi Hills, Airport, Railway station, Dasara exhibition grounds, Somanathapura, Srirangapatna, Nanjanagud,Talakadu, Hunasur and T Narasipura.
