00:00Bihar's Khandelgaon, where in the era of smart mobile, landline phone is connected to lifeline.
00:06In this village, there are not just one or two, but dozens of houses where landline phone is available.
00:14Although, from the BSNL department, landline service has been provided through broadband fiber.
00:23But the speciality of this village is that even today, people keep their old landline phones and talk to their relatives.
00:38Hello.
00:40Brother.
00:43What are you doing?
00:45Everything is fine.
00:46My uncle lives outside and I don't have a mobile phone at home.
00:50My grandfather has a mobile phone.
00:52I talk to this mobile phone.
00:53Do you talk to this mobile phone at home?
00:54Yes.
00:55How long have you been talking to this mobile phone?
00:57For many days.
00:58Where does your uncle live?
01:00Delhi.
01:02So, you don't get a mobile phone at home?
01:04No.
01:05For many days.
01:07Do you talk to this mobile phone?
01:08Yes.
01:09Hello.
01:12Walaikum Assalam.
01:14What's up brother Shamsher?
01:17Everything is fine.
01:19I have some relics.
01:20I have your prayers, boss.
01:22We believe that the first mobile phone was installed here in 1988 or 1989.
01:27We had an exchange here in our house.
01:31And since then, people have kept landline phones here.
01:35Until the mobile services started.
01:38So, it was a reliability.
01:42And since more people live abroad,
01:46we thought that there were 20-25 connections in our village.
01:53I am talking about 1988-1989.
01:57And even today, there are still connections in 10 houses.
02:03But now there is a broadband system.
02:06Internet plus landline.
02:09So, our landline is also working.
02:11And we try to talk to it more.
02:13Is there an IHD call?
02:16Yes, it is on taking services.
02:18But mostly people prefer incoming calls.
02:22And such IHD calls are also available.
02:25So, how many people come out of this village?
02:29Let me tell you that the population of this village is 400.
02:34Out of 200-250 houses, people come out of this village.
02:38In the Gulf countries.
02:40So, how many people are there in the panchayat?
02:46If you look at the panchayat, we think that there are more than 200 connections.
02:51And the panchayat means that there are 13 villages in our panchayat.
02:57And everyone has a demand.
02:59Till now, BSNL has not been able to deliver the cable.
03:03There are many issues related to poles.
03:06But now people are back on BSNL.
03:11Now that there is a broadband system, they have internet and landline.
03:16Both are facilities.
03:18In the beginning, the minimum was call charges.
03:23Outgoing call charges.
03:25Now, as we have taken a plan of Rs. 700-Rs. 720.
03:34And in that, voice calling is free.
03:37No matter how much you call and receive, there is no charge for it.
03:41There must be some people from the family who live abroad.
03:43They don't have a mobile phone.
03:44They don't have a family to feed them.
03:47Yes, there is a major issue here.
03:49For example, if there is a breakdown of 4-5 hours.
04:00In that case, it is very difficult to get a mobile phone.
04:03There is always a network issue.
04:05But it is reliable that a person can contact anyone in an emergency.
04:15I don't remember accurately, but 25-30 years have passed.
04:17When BSNL first came here, it was Cherki Exchange.
04:21We got it installed then.
04:23It was installed in my house at that time.
04:26I had a mobile phone in the whole neighborhood.
04:28So, it's been a long time since the mobile phone was installed.
04:33When it was installed, people used to come.
04:35Yes, there were 10-15-20 houses in the neighborhood.
04:39They live in the Gulf or live abroad.
04:41Whether in India or outside India.
04:43They used to call.
04:44We used to call them and talk to them.
04:49The people who have an old connection are still using it.
04:52Yes, we had an old connection.
04:54So, we got the connection back on.
04:56And whatever the facility is, whether it is Wi-Fi or landline.
05:00Whatever it is, we are picking it up.
05:02Okay, there is time for a mobile phone.
05:04But the phone is better.
05:06It's good.
05:08We are very worried because of the mobile phone.
05:09Because of the mobile phone, we have caught a new disease.
05:12So many children are using the phone like crazy.
05:16The phone is better than that.
05:18There is not much tension in the phone.
05:20So, people are using it at home.
05:22Yes, it is being used now.
05:24In our house, it was there for 25-30 years.
05:27But now we have changed the house.
05:29So, we have got the connection back.
05:31It is very popular here.
05:34People are always ready to take the connection.
05:37And we are getting the facility.
05:39They are doing a lot for PNT.
05:42The landline is always open.
05:45And all the people have kept the BSNL.
05:49What is the reason?
05:51The reason is that we are getting the facility soon.
05:53Who is doing the ISD?
05:55Yes, they do.
05:57And they have kept it.
05:59It is a very old thing.
06:01How much will be the whole panchayat?
06:03In the panchayat, there are 250-250 connections.
06:05And it takes almost a month.
06:08How many more are there in this village?
06:11There are 10-15 more in Khandel.
06:15Due to the high number of ISD calls,
06:18the exchange office was made in this village.
06:23So that people don't face any problem.
06:25The landline telephone service which started after 1988,
06:29is still going on.
06:30Even though the BSNL has changed,
06:34the telephone service is still going on.
06:39But it is still in this village.
06:42This was the first village in the district
06:44which used to give maximum telephone service.
