Vandana Mandi, Deepika Kumari, Anu Kumari and 12 more girls were
interacting confidently with the customers over the phone explaining
them about various schemes provided by a telecom company. What made
them different is their sheer determination to create identity for
themselves in society, beating all odds these visually impaired girls
are receiving training as the call centre operators and will soon work
for a renowned telecom company.

With a firm voice and to lead a dignified life, Vandana Mandi (30),
said, “This initiative has changed our life and has given us a
direction. As visually impaired persons, we need someone who can take
care of us. Moreover, from now onwards I can contribute to my family
income. The service started by Vodafone has changed our life and have
encouraged us in several ways. Now I can proudly say that I am
independent.”
Similarly, with the same confidence and smile, another trainee, Anu
Kumari (23), added, “I love this job. We get to interact with several
people. At present, I am completing my graduation and will continue in
the BPO sector, if got an opportunity. Through constant guidance, I am
improving has a telecom operator.”
With the aim to bring ‘Divyang’ girls in the mainstream, Vodafone
India Limited has partnered with the Braj Kishore Netraheen Balika
Vidyalaya to develop a project titled ‘Drishti’ to provide opportunity
to the visually impaired girls and make them self dependent.
Under this ambitious project, the telecom company has set up a
Tele-calling centre on the school premises, wherein members of the
school have been trained by Vodafone on voice recognition system to
connect with potential pre-paid customers.
“This particular venture is special as the company is targeting
visually impaired girls and helping them to upgrade their quality of
life through imparting special skills that will enable them to earn a
living and be self –dependent. The organisation believe these girls
are equally capable and dedicated as anyone else in taking up
professional challenges,” said, Business Head, Bihar and Jharkhand,
Vodafone India, Rajshekhar Metgud while inaugurating the call centre.
The concept to start the service came after I first visited the
Technical Training Institute at Pune, where the company was running a
call centre for differently abled people, added, Co-Founder of Braj
Kishore Netraheen Balika Vidyalaya, Neelu Verma.
“Girls here come from primitive places. After a rigorous training for
one year, few girls were sent to Pune and they received very good
remark from trainers. Keeping this in mind and with the support of
Telecom Company, the school is working towards socio economic
rehabilitation of visually impaired. For the convenience of the Tele
calling team, the call centre is set up here on campus premises,” said
Verma.
