Virendra Nagar from Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, warns that fraud can happen not only through phone calls or online platforms but also face-to-face and within the disability community. He explains that some people deceive persons with disabilities and their families in the name of assistive devices, disability certificates, jobs, marriage, or other opportunities, even when certain services or equipment may be available free of cost. He advises people and families not to trust anyone blindly or pay money without verifying the information. He also requests Hamari Vaani to publish such awareness recordings so that people can recognize these forms of fraud and protect themselves.
Virendra Ganghar from Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, cautions listeners about the increasing incidents of cyber fraud. He advises people not to trust unknown callers who ask for money in the name of jobs, business opportunities, prizes, or any other pretext. He urges listeners never to share bank account details or transfer money to strangers and reminds them that prevention is the best protection, as recovering lost money can be difficult.

Hello, this is Virendra Gandharv from Chhattisgarh. I would like to share a concern with the Hamari Vaani team. Recently, my recordings are not being published, except for those related to talent programs. I request the team to kindly review this. If we want to make Hamari Vaani more meaningful and effective, it is important to accept feedback and constructive criticism, not just appreciation. Suggestions and feedback help improve the platform. My intention is only to contribute positively and help improve Hamari Vaani.
Appreciating HV talent show.
Greetings. I am speaking from Virendra Nagar in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh. The question I had asked about my mobile phone—about it not telling time in minutes but only in hours—I have now received the answer. Since I changed the language to English, it has started telling the time in minutes as well. So the information given to me was absolutely correct. Thank you very much for the guidance. Earlier, when it was in Hindi, it only used to give a general announcement and not the exact minutes. I also have an old IT mobile phone which already tells the time in minutes. This new mobile phone of mine now also tells the time in minutes.
Hello, greetings. I am Virendra Gandhar from Rajnandgaon village, Chhattisgarh. Devakar ji, you asked why the CGNet that used to run was shut down. No official reason was given for stopping it, but I feel that you may have heard that members of the CGNet team often used to talk with people who were victims of Naxalism. Because there were frequent conversations with Naxal-affected people, maybe some action was taken against it and that is why it was shut down. But if, instead of CGNet, you want to listen to Chhattisgarh’s “Keral” (voice platform), there is a Mobile Vaani for Chhattisgarh. Its number is 92 666 51 222 (nine two, six six six, five one, two two two). If you give a missed call on this number, it will start. That channel is currently almost empty because not many people are recording messages anymore. I also stopped recording for a while. I activated it again today, but no one’s message came. If all of us pay attention and record messages, then the number of messages will increase. Because people are not recording, there are very few messages coming in. You should also record, and others should record too, so that our Chhattisgarh channel keeps running. On CGNet, many recordings used to come, even from different states, but that is not happening here. The reason CGNet was shut down seems to be this—that there were frequent discussions related to victims of Naxalism. Many times it was learned that members of the CGNet team faced objections, and several times they were even attacked.
Virendra from Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, is asking for technical help regarding his Itel keypad mobile phone. He explains that when he uses the talking clock or time announcement feature, the phone announces only the hours and repeatedly says “zero” but does not announce the minutes properly. He mentions that the phone has two voice options and requests guidance from anyone who knows why the minutes are not being announced and what could be causing this issue.
This is an inspiring story from Chhattisgarh about Gokaran Patil of Bhilai, who has no hands and cannot speak, yet creates paintings using his feet and teaches art. He has been invited to the President’s House and will be honoured by the Hon’ble President on 26th January, which is a proud moment for all of us. His journey proves that with courage and determination, no challenge is impossible.
