Shrine Board’s Divine Gift of Hearing: Four Children Get a New Life Through Cochlear Implants at SMVDNSH

Katra, April 26, 2025:
In a heartwarming chapter of service and compassion, the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to public welfare by sponsoring life-changing cochlear implant surgeries for four children with profound hearing loss. These young lives, until now locked in silence, have been gifted the blessing of sound — a future full of voice, learning, and belonging.

What makes this even more special is that the very hospital where these complex surgeries were performed — Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital (SMVDNSH), Kakryal — is itself the visionary creation of the Shrine Board. Established through a public-private partnership with Narayana Health, this modern healthcare institution stands as a testament to the Shrine Board’s long-term vision of accessible, world-class medical care in the region.

"The Shrine Board’s mission extends far beyond spiritual service. We have built this hospital to ensure that people of Jammu & Kashmir, especially those in remote and underserved areas, have access to the best medical care. These surgeries reflect our commitment to not just providing infrastructure but also financial assistance to the most vulnerable. It is heartening to witness these children now beginning a life filled with sound — a divine blessing in its truest form,” said Mr. Anshul Garg (IAS), Chief Executive Officer of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board.

SMVDNSH is the only hospital in the Jammu region currently equipped to perform advanced cochlear implant surgeries, thanks to its cutting-edge infrastructure, dedicated team, and the Shrine Board’s constant support. The four surgeries were conducted successfully by Dr. Rohan Gupta, ENT & Cochlear Implant Surgeon. These children will now begin their speech therapy and auditory rehabilitation journey — a vital phase that will help them speak, learn, and integrate into mainstream society.

"Each cochlear implant we perform is a miracle made possible by the Shrine Board’s support. Without their vision and generosity, such transformative care would be out of reach for many. The hospital they’ve established isn’t just a building — it’s a symbol of hope and healing for the entire region,” said Dr. M. M. Mathavan, Facility Director, SMVDNSH.

"We are proud to be part of a model that unites faith, compassion, and excellence in healthcare. These surgeries represent what can be achieved when institutions work with purpose. The Shrine Board’s vision, paired with clinical expertise, is giving children a chance to live full and empowered lives,” said Dr. Yashpal Sharma, Executive Director, SMVDIME.

The Shrine Board has played a central role not just in constructing this state-of-the-art facility, but also in consistently supporting patients who cannot afford such advanced care. From critical care to cancer treatment to cochlear implants — the Board has ensured that no life is left behind due to financial constraints.

Importantly, the Shrine Board has committed to continuing this noble initiative, extending support to many more children in the future who suffer from hearing loss but lack the means to seek treatment. Their ongoing assistance reaffirms their mission of inclusive health and social justice — where no child is denied the sound of life.

As the sacred chants of “Jai Mata Di” echo through Trikuta Hills, they now echo in the newfound voices of these four children — voices that were once silent, now brought to life through the divine service and vision of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board.

Airtel announces new features in its continued fight against SPAM
• Expands coverage to international calls and SMSes
• Introduces SPAM alert display in Urdu and 9 more vernacular languages

Jammu, April 21, 2025: Following the launch of its AI powered spam detection tool that flagged over 27.5 Billion calls as SPAM to its customers, Airtel today announced the introduction of two significant enhancements aimed at staying ahead of spammers.
Customers will now receive SPAM alerts for calls and SMS messages in their preferred Indian languages. This new feature will be available in ten vernacular languages, with plans to add more in the future. Airtel’s AI-powered tool will now screen and alert customers to all SPAM calls and SMSes originating from international networks.
Once Airtel intensified its efforts to combat domestic spam calls, scamsters and spammers resorted to exploiting foreign networks to funnel fraudulent calls into India. This alarming trend resulted in a 12% increase in overseas spam calls in the last six months. Airtel expects to nullify this growing challenge with its new feature.
Commenting on the initiative, Siddharth Sharma, Director Marketing and CEO Connected Homes, Bharti Airtel, said: “Customers and their feedback are at the heart of everything we do. After carefully analysing customer feedback, we have enhanced our solutions to better serve the linguistic diversity of India. Additionally, with the growing volume of SPAM traffic shifting to foreign networks, we have decided to expand our AI-powered tool to scan all SMS messages and phone calls originating from international numbers. Our dedicated team of engineers and data scientists will continue to refine and enhance our offerings, ensuring we stay ahead of any and all emerging threats.”
The upgraded AI-driven SPAM solution will now notify users about calls and messages from both domestic and international numbers in ten Indian languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, Punjabi and Urdu. SPAM alert notifications using vernacular languages are only accessible to customers using Android devices. All these features continue to be free for customers and will get auto activated for all Airtel customers without them having to raise a service request.
Airtel’s innovative, industry-first anti-SPAM tool, launched in September 2024, has been a game-changer for its customers, providing substantial relief from unwanted communications. According to Airtel, it has identified 27.5 billion calls until date, which translates to an impressive 1560 spam calls every second. Since its launch in September 2024, Airtel customers have also seen a 16% decrease in SPAM calls.
