Sardarshahr took its name from Sardar Singh of Bikaner in 1838, and Gandhi Vidya Mandir has taught here since 1950. Applicants, pilgrims and buyers now ask their first questions on WhatsApp.
For Sardarshahr's teacher-training and degree colleges, the dharamshalas that host families visiting Iccha Puran Balaji and Shanti Peeth, the wood workshops behind Churu's ODOP product and the shops on the Mega Highway: which messages are replies on the official WhatsApp Business API, which are templates, and what each costs.
See it work
An applicant to a teacher-training course, a family visiting the Balaji temple, a buyer of wood products and a traveller on SH-7 each get the same few kinds of message. Select a cell to see which is a reply, which a utility template and which needs an opt-in.
The first column is nearly always a conversation the other person started, so nothing in it needs a template. The middle columns are the messages a Sardarshahr college, dharamshala or workshop sends on its own about something already booked or bought, and the last column is the only one that needs a recorded opt-in.
The 24-hour service window explains when a reply needs no template.

Market brief
From the IASE university's site, Invest India's ODOP list and IBEF's Rajasthan profile; the history, temple and road lines are general background from Wikipedia.
Gandhi Vidya Mandir was founded in Sardarshahr in 1950 by Kanhaiyalal Dugar, known as Swami Ramsharan ji Maharaj, and is the parent institution of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Education.[1]
IASE is recognised as Deemed to be University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, with faculties of education, arts and social sciences, science and pharmacy; its education courses include B.Ed, M.Ed, ITEP and D.El.Ed (BSTC).[1]
Invest India's One District One Product list names wood products for Churu district.[2]
IBEF lists handicrafts and tourism among Rajasthan's key industries.[3]
The village of Alwana in Bikaner state became Sardargarh and, in 1838, Sardarshahr, after Sardar Singh, son of Maharaja Ratan Singh; its merchant havelis include the Jammar Haveli with a frieze of the Pabuji story.[4]
The Iccha Puran Balaji temple and Shanti Peeth, the samadhi of Acharya Mahapragya, stand on SH-7, the Hanumangarh–Kishangarh Mega Highway, and a rail line runs to Ratangarh.[4]
Four kinds of institution and business, matched to the rows of the matrix.
IASE and the other institutions of the town take applicants for education, arts, science and pharmacy courses, and parents ask about fees and hostels.[1]
Families visiting the Iccha Puran Balaji temple and Shanti Peeth on SH-7 ask about rooms and timings before they travel.[4]
Wood products are Churu's ODOP entry, and buyers in other cities want photos, sizes and a dispatch date before they pay.[2]
SH-7 carries traffic between Hanumangarh and Kishangarh past the town, and travellers can order ahead from the road.[4]

Marwari is not a Meta template language, but inside the 24-hour window staff can reply in whatever a family writes, Marwari included. InfiQ's own support works in English and Hindi.
