With the help of the app, all this reading material is converted in an audio format instantly, where both these trainees follow the audio. Among these two students, Billo Devi belongs to a very humble family hence she is not even able to buy a mobile phone, which was provided to her by the administration of DIET Jukhala.
This girl is completing her training, with the help of her mobile phone. Significantly, DIET Jukhala has taken special permission from the board for these two trainees who are unable to write. They have taken permission to provide these two special trainees with a scribe, who is less educated than them, to write for them and now both these students are giving first-year exam at DIET Jukhala.
There is now a scribe to write for them. He reads the questions for them. They dictate the answer to that question to the scribe who in turn writes the answer on their behalf in their answer sheets. Significantly, on behalf of the Board of Education, an additional time of one hour has been given to these two students during their exam.
At the same time, both these trainees say that they are getting full support from DIET Jukhala and with the help of the app, they are doing well in their studies and they are not facing any problem. They will soon complete their training from here and will stand firmly on their feet. They hope to present a new example for society.
