So there's a gentleman here who is connected with Asha Vishwas. First of all, thank you very much for taking my name from your own mouth and asking this question — you're asking about a school in Bihar and you're requesting the contact number of a teacher there, saying that it would be a great help, a huge favor. There’s no need to speak of favors, but the truth is that I don’t have that teacher’s contact number. Although I usually don’t need to say this, since you have taken my name, I want to say that many people have also said to me, “We asked Monalal, but he never replies,” and they get upset. So, just to clear your disappointment, I’ve come forward. Now see, I haven’t really traveled around Bihar. My travels have mostly been in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh — places like Lucknow, Agra, and Banaras. I go wherever my work takes me, and then I stay at home. I don’t go around much to different organizations or institutes. I’m not much into traveling or socializing, and I don’t stay in contact with too many people. However, even without being in contact with many people, I still manage to have some information — and I do share it when I can. Sometimes, even I wonder how I have so much knowledge! But yes, when I speak or share information, it often turns out to be accurate. People leave comments and reactions; some even criticize me. So I must have something in me that people react to — and I consider that a great blessing. Now, in response to your question, I can only make a request to the people of Bihar, and to people all over India who can hear my voice: If you know the answer to this brother's question, if you have accurate and reliable information, then please do help him by providing the contact details of that teacher. If helping someone gets their important work done, then there's nothing wrong with that — we should make the effort. Just like you stay informed about other things, keep an eye out for this as well. And if possible, try to guide him or give him the contact details in a personal way, so that he can get in touch with that teacher and accomplish what he has in mind. As of now, that’s all I can say. I don’t have the number myself. If I did, I would surely try to help by sharing it through my voice or in some other way. Keep listening to our voice and stay connected.
Student’s Question Came from Jammu – What’s the Matter? Jammu is truly a beautiful city with amazing scenic views and wonderful places to visit. It’s also a place with historical and spiritual significance. We warmly welcome you and deeply respect you. However, I might not be able to give much information about Amritsar, Punjab, but in Delhi, there are many NGOs and hostels available for you. You can pursue your graduation there – from 10th class onwards up to graduation. If you want to study through open schooling, that may not be available everywhere, but if you want to study regularly (in-person classes), then yes, that is definitely possible. There are institutions that can support and help you. You should try searching for this on the internet – just search: “Blind NGOs in New Delhi” If you know the area you’re looking in, include that in the search too. You can talk to them directly or send a text message to get information. If you are a female student, we especially suggest you get more information through IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System) or similar safe platforms. That would be better and safer for you. You can definitely come to Delhi. There are good educational institutions here, and many hostels that support and accommodate talented girl students like yourself. So if you wish, you can study in Delhi. We truly respect your aspirations, and we are sorry if we weren’t able to give a perfect answer to your question. But based on the information I have, I have given you suggestions. Thank you very much for asking your question, and best wishes for your future. Keep studying, keep growing – that’s our hope for you!

So now the question has come up regarding the role of a scribe (writer) in exams like SSC MTS, especially for visually impaired (blind) candidates. Many candidates are confused about this and are unsure about the correct process. In earlier times, seniors used to help by arranging scribes for such candidates, and yes, even now that happens. But whether that is appropriate or not depends on you. Our attempt is always to provide legal and official information, not just what people “usually do.” Even today, some seniors arrange scribes because there is often a lack of trust in juniors. That’s because today’s generation of students is sometimes distracted. They are more focused on smartphones and things they shouldn’t be watching or doing, rather than their studies. So yes, parents play an important role in guiding children, although sometimes even parents don’t realize what their children are up to. Now let’s come to the official rules: If you are appearing for an exam with a qualification based on Class 10th, then your scribe (writer) should be someone who has not studied beyond Class 9th. This means: the educational qualification of your scribe must be one level below yours (i.e., if your exam is at 10th level, the scribe should be at 9th level or below). When choosing a scribe, you should check their handwriting – whether it is legible and neat, and also check their writing speed – can they write or type as fast as you speak? In the case of computer-based tests (CBT), the scribe should be able to type correctly and on time according to your dictation. As per rules, blind candidates should prepare for the exam on their own, and the scribe’s role is just to write exactly what the candidate dictates. In some special health-related cases, you can get additional support, but generally, the rules are clear. So, we won’t go beyond the scope of legal guidelines. Our platform only shares factual and official information — not assumptions or unverified practices. Everyone has to make their own decision, but we strongly advise that you choose your scribe carefully, keeping the rules in mind.
So, one of our friends is asking a question related to School@Home. When they press a number, say 2 1 (twenty-one), they are asked to enter a room number—meaning, which room they want to enter. A code is requested. When you create your ID, you are asked to enter a four-digit code. Then you are told to register. So the question you might have is: Where should we register from? You have to register through the website. There is an online form that you need to fill out. For this, you will need to visit their website: www.helpinghandindia.ngo.god.in This is the official website of School@Home. You can visit it and register yourself there. You can take full advantage of the services provided by School@Home by providing accurate information as requested. Stay connected with our voice service and keep listening. Now, you might also be wondering: "I have already registered using the keypad, meaning I registered through the keypad and my voice, so what about that?" That registration is only limited to the IVR system—meaning, you can only listen to or study the chapters provided through IVR, or enjoy the ten radio channels available. But if you want to talk to people through the ID, then whenever you go to School@Home, use the number 5 8 (fifty-eight). When you press 5 8, nothing will be asked from you. You will be directly connected to the live interaction room.
In Madhya Pradesh, Khan Sahab has analyzed the situation regarding SIM cards to some extent, and I would like to add a few points to that. You see, saying outright that SIM cards are not being issued in any particular state is not completely accurate. Actually, there are two steps or options involved here. These days, very few people operate using the "print-based system" (which uses fingerprint authentication). One group that does is those who roam around promoting SIM services. You might have heard in your own village, your neighborhood, or your market that there are some individuals who go around spreading the word about "port-out" offers. They might say you can get a free SIM from VI or Jio. Some of them even charge ₹100 or ₹150. So, they do whatever method works for them. Those who still have the print-based system — which means the one where fingerprints are used — are more accessible for people who are blind. In English, we call this biometric authentication, where you place your thumb for scanning. This system is easier for those who have issues with their eyes. In the Hindi term, we sometimes refer to the cornea (called “kaniya” colloquially), which is an important part of the eye that lets us see light. Without it, the eye cannot see properly. This becomes relevant in the case of the scanner-based systems. Only when the scanner recognizes your iris can you get a SIM card. So, it's not that blind people can't get SIM cards — that's not true. The issue is that the scanning system doesn't always work for them. Nowadays, most vendors only use the scanner-based system, and very few still use the fingerprint (print-based) system. I also want to share my personal experience — I traveled across Delhi looking to get a SIM for myself. In most of the places I went, the vendors or agents only had scanner-based systems. They couldn’t give me a SIM because their scanner wouldn't read my eye correctly. But finally, I found someone who had the fingerprint system, and through that, I was able to get a SIM. So yes, fingerprint-based systems are helpful for blind individuals. But vendors using only scanner-based systems often say, “We can’t give you a SIM because your eye scan isn’t working.” And that’s their limitation — they aren’t refusing deliberately. It’s just that their system doesn’t support it. So, we shouldn't show anger or protest in such cases. Instead, we need to understand their constraints too. We're not saying they’re right or wrong, but we do wish that every blind person should be able to get a SIM — and not just a SIM, but access to all such essential services.
