Yes, hello. My name is Aparaj Ahmad, from District Almora, Uttarakhand. I am 100% blind, and I am speaking through Hamari Vani. When I was asked how Hamari Vani has benefited me, I would say that it has truly helped me in many ways. Through Hamari Vani, I got to know about a highway helpline number, which blind people can use to get information about themselves or their surroundings. Apart from that, I also learned about the smart cane through Hamari Vani, and I received the Saksham Care number, through which blind individuals can order devices such as smart wallets and talking watches. I came to know about this only through Hamari Vani. Listening to other blind brothers and sisters on Hamari Vani has also given me a lot of inspiration — especially about how to walk, talk, and express oneself confidently. Although I have also been at LIBS in Dehradun, I must say that Hamari Vani has inspired me even more by allowing me to hear from others like me. So, I can honestly say that I have greatly benefited from Hamari Vani. I would like to thank and express my heartfelt gratitude to Hamari Vani because it has truly been very helpful for me so far. I have been connected with Hamari Vani since around the year 2000.
