Greetings. I am Virendra Gandhar speaking from Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh. A few days ago, I shared information about an online work opportunity and clearly mentioned that only those who had access to online facilities, were comfortable using them, and had passed Class 10 should contact me. However, many people who called later informed me that they only had keypad phones and did not have access to online services. My humble request is that listeners carefully listen to the complete recording before making a call. If the opportunity has specific requirements or eligibility conditions, please ensure that you meet those conditions before contacting the person sharing the information. This helps save time for both the caller and the person providing the opportunity. When information related to employment or livelihood is shared, it is important that interested individuals pay close attention to the details and apply only if they fulfill the stated requirements. This allows genuine opportunities to reach suitable candidates and makes the platform more effective and meaningful. Let us all use Hamari Vaani responsibly by listening carefully, understanding the requirements, and responding appropriately. This will help create better opportunities for everyone and strengthen the value of the platform for the disability community. Thank you.
Greetings. I am Virendra Gandhar speaking from Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh. Swagat, you had asked about livelihood, and since you know me quite well, I would like to share my experience. I am currently working as a teacher in an aided institution called Abhilasha. As the years of my service are gradually nearing completion, I often reflect on the journey of our students and the impact of education on their lives. The Hamari Vaani team has also visited our school campus and witnessed the work being done there. Over time, I have shared several recordings about our students who have gone on to build successful careers and lead independent lives. For example, Kirtan Chandravanshi, a former student of our school, is now working as a bank manager. Another former student, Sarita Sahu, is employed as a stenographer in Delhi. Recently, one of our students, Jain Kawach, secured a position as a consultant in a school in a village near Raipur. Many other students from our institution are working in government and private sector jobs. Some visually impaired students are engaged in electrical work, while others have established livelihoods through tailoring and similar professions. Several former students and even some of our former teachers have gone on to become government teachers. It is encouraging to see that many children who studied at Abhilasha are now standing on their own feet, earning a livelihood, and contributing positively to society. Their success demonstrates the importance of education, skills, and determination in building an independent life.
