Hello Vaani friends! Let me ask you a question… Have you ever found your own way of doing something that made your life easier? Maybe a simple technique that helps you get dressed independently… A way of holding your phone or eating more easily… A small modification that helps you travel, study or work… Or a creative solution that you or someone in your family has developed to overcome a challenge? If yes — we want to hear about it! This is Project Discovery 7.0, led by EnAble India- a competition to collect assistive solutions used by people with disabilities. Project Discovery believes that everyday problem-solving can be innovation. And this is your chance to be recognised as an innovator! All you need to do is record a short video — up to 2 minutes. In your video, tell us: What was the challenge? What solution did you find? And most importantly, show us how it works! Don't worry about making a professional video. Your mobile phone is enough. And yes… there is more! Individual participants can win prizes of up to ₹25,000! Organisations can win prizes of up to ₹1 lakh! But beyond the prize, your solution could reach someone else who is facing the same challenge and help make their life a little easier. So, why keep your solution to yourself? The submission deadline is on 7th September, so don't wait until the last minute. You can WhatsApp your video to 97428 72509. Or simply send us a WhatsApp message on this number. We will guide you and share the submission link. So, Vaani friends… Think about your everyday life. What have you discovered? What have you changed? What have you made easier? Maybe you are already an innovator — you just haven't called yourself one yet! Be the innovator. Share your solution. Inspire another person. Project Discovery 7.0 — Break Free Solutions!
Hello friends, greetings to our Vaani and good morning. My name is Naresh Kumar from Hisar, Haryana, and I am 100% blind. A listener, Amit ji, is asking whether the scholarship form for an NUH course is available or not. Brother, we have checked, and there is no separate scholarship form for this. However, when you fill out the regular form, you can get a fee discount by submitting your disability ID card or other required documents as proof that you are blind. Regarding the syllabus, you can get it from Sawan Talking Library. You can contact them at 8826261166 and ask for the syllabus. They will guide you further regarding how to obtain it.
Hello friends, I am Shivansh from Uttar Pradesh. I want to know if anyone has accurate information about whether the disability pension in Uttar Pradesh has been increased to ₹1,500 per month. At present, everyone knows that ₹1,000 is being received every month. I heard that the pension has been increased to ₹1,500, but the increased amount has not yet been implemented or paid. If anyone has verified information about whether the increase has actually been approved and when ₹1,500 per month will start being paid, please let us know. I would appreciate any correct information from the Vaani staff.
Avantika, there is no need to come to Gujarat for a Home Science course. You can learn everything in Mumbai, Maharashtra—such as cutting vegetables, kneading dough, rolling rotis, and other household skills. Please attend the course in Mumbai and gain the experience you need. Thank you.
Hello, greetings to everyone, and good morning. Today is August 20, and we wanted to ask all our brothers and sisters: We went to the Social Welfare Office, where we were informed that the Uttar Pradesh state pension will be credited by August 30.

My name is Pravejal, and I live in Vaishali Vihar. I want to know exactly where the InterGES computer training is available in Delhi.
Ranjit Kumar from Deoria is asking to be informed whenever new government job applications are released. He should keep listening to our Vaani for updates. If he is eligible, he will need to fill out the application himself at a nearby cyber café. He should keep his ID, address proof, caste certificate (if applicable), and photographs ready. Job vacancy information will be shared whenever it becomes available.
