Greetings. I am Rajesh Kumar Pathak from village Aisi, Delhi. My speech is like this: again and again, people ask what I have gained from "Hamari Vani" (Our Voice). Did I get money or wealth from it? No, what I got from Hamari Vani is not material. Our NFB (National Federation of the Blind) taught us to struggle, and today we earn our own daily bread. That in itself is a great achievement. But through "Hamari Vani," we also gained a kind of social security. Through it, we came across some of our hidden, sparkling stars—individuals we might never have encountered otherwise. Among these powerful women, we met our most respected Dimple Madam from Haryana. Then there's Poonam Ji—her voice and talent are truly remarkable. From Siddharth Nagar, we have our dear Chaddha Pathak. And our brightest star is our beloved Mann Lal Bharat, our highly respected Arun Meena, and our dear companion from Chilwala, Mahesh Soni from the land of Madhya Pradesh. If not for "Hamari Vani," how would we have discovered such shining personalities? This has been a huge social gain. Then there are many young children who join—like a child from the land of Maharaj. There are many powerful women among us—some equal in strength, some still growing. And there's a very bright boy from Rewari, about 25 years old, named Devaraj. And then there’s a very knowledgeable young boy from Maharashtra—Adarsh. If we had mentioned Adarsh by name, that would’ve been an even greater honor. These are our children, and our powerful women, some of whom are our equals in strength, while others are still young in their journey. Through Hamari Vani, we have gained knowledge about many different organizations. Now how much benefit people have derived from them, only they can say. But listening to all this makes me feel truly happy—whether it’s about NSB, NAB, AICB, or others.
