Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday launched ‘Azadi Quest’, a series of online educational mobile games that will emphasize the contribution of unsung heroes of the freedom struggle.

The mobile apps ‘Azadi Quest’ and ‘Heroes of Bharat’ have been developed by Zynga India in association with the Publications Division and the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR).

Thakur said “These games are an effort to tap into the huge market of online gamers and to educate them through games. Various arms of the Government of India have collected information about unsung freedom fighters from the corners of the country.” He mentioned the gaming sector has grown by 28 per cent in 2021 alone, while the number of online gamers is expected to touch 45 crores by 2023.

The Publications Division also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Zynga India to develop a series of games under the ongoing ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’. Kishore Kichli, Country Head of Zynga India, said the initiative was designed to engage players of all ages while harnessing the power of interactive entertainment as a teaching experience about this important era. The first two games in the series ‘Azadi Quest’ tell the story of India’s freedom struggle, highlighting key milestones and heroes, interwoven with fun gameplay.
