Hello, I am Virendra Gandh from Rajnandgaon village in Chhattisgarh. Listening to this recording, it becomes clear that when people say things like “we will teach computers online” or “we will teach mobile phones online,” it’s not always realistic. There are many visually impaired people who have never even seen a mobile phone or a computer. Until someone physically shows them, lets them touch it, and guides them through practice, they cannot learn online. Only those who already know a little bit can learn online. But for many who have never touched or seen these devices, they don’t even understand what a button is. In such a situation, I don’t believe—and neither would anyone like me—that someone can teach a visually impaired person to use a computer, a mobile phone, or even basic skills like reading online. So, don’t rely on such claims. Instead, find someone trustworthy who can sit with you and teach you directly. Some organizations may offer training, but it’s best not to get caught up in promises. If you want to learn, keep a smartphone with you and have a trusted person nearby to guide you, showing you repeatedly until you understand. Even if there is a camp or workshop organized by your institution, you will learn much more in person than online. This is my assurance. Stay healthy and safe. Thank you.
