 So, what was your last job you were doing? Sir, I was interning before that I was working with a company which was based as a project coordinator. So, why did you wish to join seven subjects? Sir, there are a couple of reasons. The first and foremost for me is that it offers a great career opportunities for anybody who is professionally inclined. And since I worked for a few years, I realized that I would be able to perform the job that it demands. And so secondly, it would also give me an avenue to kind of understand what I can contribute to society in a more direct manner. Right. So, what qualities do you possess that can make you a good civil servant? Sir, I have an optimistic view of life. And I like to believe that I am a people's person. I usually am able to get along with people from across diverse areas. And that's one of the traits that civil servants should possess because they interact with people from across backgrounds. And so apart from this, I am empathetic towards people. So I am able to understand where they're coming from. And sir, also the fact that I have the capacity to persevere and not give up. So even if there are certain obstacles which might drop off, I would be able to see a task to its logical conclusion. Is this your first attempt? Sir, this is my last attempt. Ms. Sharma, have you heard of the Malabar naval exercise? Yes. What is that? Will you tell me something about it? Yes. So it's an exercise between amongst a couple of nations which is the chart is like by India. There is a participation from US naval forces, also Japanese naval forces. And in the past, we also invited the Australian forces. Yeah, on kill you. But it's basically a triad to the exercise. Yes. What is the purpose of this? Sir, we are, the Indian Ocean for us is a natural backyard. And it is necessary that we keep on developing our capabilities in the Indian Ocean region. And this exercise allows us to collaborate with countries which are apparently doing very well. So is the Malabar naval exercise only heard in the Indian Ocean region? No sir. And one of the regions where it is taken. Where was it held last year? Sir, I don't seem to recall. Of the coast of Guam, which means western Pacific, north of Australia. But you are right, it was basically three countries on a few occasions. Australia has also been invited and Singapore has also been invited. There is also something called the Milan naval meet. Yes sir. Which, what is that? Sir, even the countries from South East Asia also participated. It was a much larger platform. Much larger. Yes sir. And it is, where was it held? It is the Andaman and Nicobar Command. Command. Which hosts it. Hosted it. Yes sir. Okay. Now you know there is a scheme for regional connectivity called Oman. Yes sir. What can you tell me about that scheme? Sir, India is trying to make a foreign in the global aviation market. And at the same time also trying to explore the domestic market. So the idea is to connect the underserved and unserved regions of the country. And could provide no-field airports so that the regional connectivity overall is improved. And what about the ticketing? Is there any? Yes sir. So there is a cap of 2500 on, there is a certain criteria. Right. And how, and the funding for the viability gap funding. Yes sir. By the government, right? Yes sir. Okay. So you have heard of the international court of justice? Yes sir. Now recently there are two for judgment which they have given. One relates to Mauritius and the Chagos Islands. Are you aware of that? I have not. Okay. Okay. Right. The other was of course relating to Kurbushan Chatterjee. So why did we go to the international court of justice in this particular case? As two countries have not been able to come to a conclusion with respect to this particular case. And we hope that the international court of justice would be able to give a favorable verdict as well. No. So what were we trying to do which Pakistan was denying us? Yes sir. In respect of Kurbushan Chatterjee? Yes sir. To turn off. No. Were you trying firstly consular access? Yes sir. They refused to give it to us, right? Yes sir. Then they sentenced him to death? Yes sir. So that was the reason we had no other option but to then approach the ICJ. Yes sir. Now a hearing was held in the ICJ very recently. Yes sir. What happened in that? Sir they were not able to come to a conclusion and the talks will continue to go on. No. Both sides gave their final statements and the court will give its judgment in due time for us. So the hearing is over? Yes sir. The courts will not give a judgment. In December January, a number of youths were arrested by the NIA. Yes. For being radicalized on the net and becoming supporters of the ISIS. Yes sir. They included some people from UP, Delhi and Punjab. So what is this ISIS? Sir ISIS is a non-state organization which expands to Islamic state of Iraq and Syria which had a huge code in terms of control over the oil fields which was trying to create a caliphate in the infestation region and expand it to the larger global gain of footprint. And who was the leader? Abu Bakr. Baghdadi. Baghdadi. Right. So do you think that they pose a threat to India also because of the fact that they are able to radicalize so many Indian youths? Sir India has very very strong ethos of secularism and democracy and communal harmony. But at the same time we need to ensure that there are enough safeguards in place so that we need to undertake deratualization exercise. Okay. Thank you. Thank you sir. In the recent Swachh Subjection. Yes sir. Paridabad did fairly well. You are from Paridabad. Yes sir. Right. That was one factor which contributed significantly to its occupying a higher position than the last survey. Yes sir. What was that idea? Sir to my mind it is solid waste management and the door to door collection of the waste and segregation at source. Good. Right. What are some of the unitary features of the Indian constitution? The fact that we have an integrated judiciary. Our election machinery is integrated and similarly the mechanism of audit under Comptroller and Auditor General and also the all India services is also an integrating factor. We have a unitary bias in the constitution because for instance even the finance commission decides in terms of reference for the states. You are leaving out one of the most important provisions of the constitution which is unitary in feature. Emergency provisions? Yes sir. Emergency provisions. Okay. Now what according to you are the strengths and weaknesses of the Indian economy today? Sir to talk about these strengths that we have become the sixth largest economy and we are growing at a very rapid pace. We have a demographic dividend. There has been some deceleration recently in growth. Yes sir. But still you are right. Yes sir. In the last five years we have gone from 12th position to now 6th position. And the demographic dividend is second. And we are the largest, we are the most attractive destination for foreign direct investment. And so we have a strong banking system and the availability of investment. So these are some of the positives that I can think of. Low inflation. So under the inflation targeting is being managed properly. So that's a strength. Yes sir. The veteran non-indicators are doing fine. Okay. And even in the foreign sector. Okay. Now come to the weaknesses. Yes sir. So some of the, so the fact that the banking system because of its rising non- and apart from this we have unemployment is also one of the problems that the economy is facing. And lack of, there's a certain amount of crowding out effect and private investment is not catching up. No. No private investment. Yes sir. And we've not been able to exploit the entrepreneurial potential that the country has. What about our performance in the trade front? Sir we only account for just about 1.7% of global trade. And we have a long way to go as far as foreign trade is concerned. Okay. Do you have a positive trade balance or? Sir it depends on case to case basis for instance when you are. Overall? Sir overall we are importing, we're still importing more than our exports. Okay. Now do you know anything about the national war memorial? Yes sir. It has recently been inaugurated in Delhi. That was some negativity associated with it also. Sir I'm not aware of the negativity around it. You can read in the news spectrum. The Prime Minister's speech making news of that occasion to deliver a speech which was which had political overdrive. That was criticized in many quarters. What do you ban them out of the express? Sir I'm not able to recall. I'll read about it. Train 18? Yes sir the train 18 has the same. What are the same? So if you are familiar with train 18 so tell us something about it. Sir train 18 has recently been started. It is relatively at a higher speed and with latest technology however. What is the speed? Sir I won't be able to recall this exact speed. You call it as part of the making India effort? Yes sir. Where was it manufactured? Interior coach factory. You have played handball at a fairly state level and journal level. Yes sir. In handball part of the Asian games set you? Yes sir. Is it included in the? Yes sir. Okay. Why is it that our performance has not been very good in handball? Sir there are multiple factors at play. There are institutional factors that we've not been... Our Federation has not been doing very well. There is a lack of adequate investment in the sport overall and particularly in handball. And the talent search has also not been up to mark. Sir there is a lack of overall culture in terms of sports, how we perceive sports. So it is not still seen as a viable profession so to speak. And people are still averse of taking sports as a career. It hasn't assumed a mass proportion as yet. Yes sir. Limited to few states and it hasn't gone down to the grassroots. Yes sir. Thank you. I have been to Rishikesh once and in the recent past I have checked in the Marshall. There is a small cantonment down Sabatu. So I have checked in Sabatu to Daksha. So what's the difference between trekking and hiking? My trekking is usually taken on an uncharted almost terrain while hiking is undertaken on a well laid out path. So did you have to do some training before you went on a trek? I usually walk out and I go for a run so that helped me manage the challenges. And you could do journaling. What is journaling? It's just another name for your diary I think. Is it the same as journal writing? So then why is it called a journaling? Is that some new technique? There is a lot of confusion of new technique when people maintain online journals. But for me I usually maintain a diary and I undertake stream of consciousness writing. Now since you are from Haryana, there will be the status of the Khaapan charts like the legal bodies. Ma'am they are not legal. They are extra legal. And asking the Supreme Court judgment, Khaapan has been asked to not give the tax in terms of which can lead to oracle. So why is there such a strong hold of these camps and the people there? Ma'am this is a strong caste basis for camps. The caste associations form groupings and that's how a village help us come together and form camps. And they have traditionally helped a great sway of people because they have acted as means of social control. Where they would give out messaging where people would be asked to not perform certain tasks. And it's largely because they have been there as a caste association. So have they also given some positive directions? Yes they have been definitely constantly. Let's hear the positive directives given by the tribes. For instance they have been directives against alcoholism, domestic violence. And also the recent beti-bacha-beti for how a mission is also being propagated. So what is this beti-bacha-beti for how? And why was it required? I mean in India overall and in Haryana specifically there has been a student sex ratio. And there has been a better effort by the government to improve the sex ratio overall. So what comes under the beti-bacha? Ma'am if there is some help under the beti-bacha... Yes, PCP and DT Act and also medical treatment is being implemented. The administrative bodies are trying to implement it in spirit and letter. And under the beti-bacha, is the Haryana government also doing something other than the central government scheme? Yes ma'am, there is a Sukanya Samriti Yojana which is under way. Through which you can deposit certain amount in the bank right when the doctor is born. And then that money can be withdrawn. Is the Haryana government also doing something? Ma'am there is a ladhi scheme also. What is the ladhi scheme? Ma'am this is for, if I recall correctly, it is for the education of girls. Now since you had sociology and you were talking about caste, what role does caste play in our society? In children, not just in Haryana, but in children. Ma'am caste plays both positives and certain negative roles. The positive is that it gives you a sense of association. People can identify with the caste. But at the same time caste has been a divisive element in Indian society. And it has led to inter-caste conflict. And also it has also certain connotations wherein it leads to disempowerment of women under certain castes. So would you say that the family structure is changing over time in India? Or has changed over time? Yes, the family structure is undergoing transformation in India. There are new forms of family which are coming up for institutional reasons. Traditionally we had joint families. Now we are looking more and more nuclear families are coming up. Why is that? Because more and more people are migrating, moving out, gaining mobility. And for their career, for their education. And that is why they would want to remain close to their workplace and have a family. But they also say now there is a concept of jointedness of families. What does that mean? That is wherein you call back your parents to stay with you. So there is a trust on children being taken care of by the grandparents. Where the parents are away at work. Thank you. How do you look at the problems facing Indian agriculture? So there are several problems that Indian agriculture faces today. Some are anthropogenic, some are climatic. For instance, the electricity of monsters that we face in Indian agriculture has been at the receiving end of it. Apart from this, the problems such as the declining productivity and declining yield of Indian agriculture. There has been increasing use of chemicals such as pesticides and pesticides. And fertilizers also. Yes. Recently, the budget scheme was introduced. Tell us about that. So the scheme was called PN-Pisanmili. Pisanmili Samman. Under which the government would give out 6000 rupees annually in three installments of 2000 each. And this would essentially be for farmers who have access to land and access to land fees. How is this money to be discussed? What do we know? What is the mode of dispersing? Sir, if I understand correctly, this would be through DVD. It would be through DVD. And what kind of problems are expected to come when implementing this? So we still have not been able to digitize our land costs. Our organization program has been under way. However, the land cost is still not available for a lot of states. And sir, it would also require a few month cooperation among the central and the state. Yes. Harawani sir, any news? Yes sir. In what context and what exactly is the problem right now? Sir, recently Haryana assembly has passed a law which was in a way a amendment to the previous law under which we are opening up the forest area to non-forest purposes. And this would also... How much land is... Sir, 60,000. Yes sir. 30,000. I stand correct. So what exactly is the direction given by the... So the Supreme Court has put a stay on the law and asked the state government to not go forward with it. And there need to be a deficit amount of studies and research on land so that the forest area is not open up. You are from... Yes sir. MSME sector is quite important. Yes. What is the importance of MSME sector to the country? Sir, MSME is one way of ensuring inclusive and balanced regional growth because that is where the people at the grassroot can come together and work in factories and improve their standard of living. So the first is that they... They have lack of land. They have... The country is not available. Secondly, the standardization is not there. So their products do not meet a lot of quality standards. And so also the infrastructure availability such as power transport is not available. Does the government have anything to do with... Yes sir. One is to make the India program. The government has put a stress on MSME sector. Part of this there is a scheme such as cookies such as the recent... In the budget also the government increased the limit of public government through MSMEs. And also sir, the promotion of... From GST, this has always been announced for MSME sector, right? Yes. For 30 lakhs to 40? 40 lakhs. Okay. Last question. Yes sir. Elections are around the corner. Yes sir. How do you assess the performance of the Indian government? Of democracy in India? Some areas of strength and some records. Sir, democracy is so fundamental to India. They are really similar to each other. We conduct the largest electoral exercise in the world. And we are the largest democracy. And the voter participation is also important. There have been so many electoral reforms in the past. From the exorcists? Sir, the board of bank politics and voting based on class associations, certain tri-voting entities, rather than King-Eye 30 Development as a development definition. And certain marginal communities have not been talked about still in our election discourse. Right. Okay sir. We are talking about democracy in India. Which institution has been the strongest pillar of democracy? Sir, there wouldn't be a single democracy in India as a result of collaboration and cooperation among multiple pillars. For instance, Supreme Court of India, the Institution of Election Commission, the CARE that we have, and so UPSC. UPSC hardly has any voting democracy. However, of the remaining three, which is the strongest department? Sir, Supreme Court of India. Yes. But for Supreme Court, we would have destroyed democracy. There was a very serious attempt at least in Raga this time. Even in present day government has tried to destroy institutions in the Supreme Court as 21. Right. Mass communications is your subject. How will 5G promote mass communication? 5G, you've heard of mass communication. How will it promote mass communication and if so, in what? Sir, the fact that we already have digital India going on, it would increase the speed with which the information is disseminated. The infrastructure is already being built under the Digital India Program and if we can meet the targets under it, we would be able to harness the benefits of 5G also. What is the state of digital literacy in rural sector in rural area? Sir, I do remember the number for rural India which is close to 35%. You're talking of internet connectivity, 30%. Which is mostly mobile. Yes, sir. They are using now digital literacy. What do you understand by digital literacy? How do you define digital literacy? That individuals, the citizens are able to access the service which is provided online and are able to in a secure way and have the knowledge of accessing the secure pathways. We know how to operate a computer to communicate from digital means to receive communications, it is called communication, to create, to create digital content. Yes, sir. This is what it's like to understand digital health. Yes, sir. This is the meaning of digital literacy. Yes, sir. Now you tell me what is the state of it? Sir, overall we have a long way to go. That is a very rich, very poetic statement but it doesn't state anything. It's very poor. 8% in rural area, about 24% digital literacy. Thank you, sir. Did government launch any program for rural literacy? Yes, the government three, Rameen, Distance, Ashutna, Disha, PMG Disha. What was the target and what was achieved? Sir, 6 crore insurance. 6 crore you are absolutely right. Yes. How much was the fee? Sir, that number I am not aware of. Only 54 lakhs or 57 lakhs, 19% only. Now, should there be a regulation of the internet? Is it required in India? Yes, sir, because it affects the public life in a huge way and we need regulations so that the purpose of internet usage can be... So regulating the net, will it not value the principle of net neutrality? Sir, we can regulate it and ensure that everybody has same kind of access so that would protect the net neutrality. Sir, correct me also. These are two different concepts. Yes, sir. Net neutrality is different from net regulation. Yes, sir. That's what you should have said. What are the laws which are used for internet crime or combating internet crime? What are the laws? It should be under IVC. But I am not... Indian Penal Code. Alright, IVC, absolutely right. That's a CRPC. CRPC. There is another law. That's an IT Act. I see it as a function. Yes, IT Act. Now, what are global commons? So global commons are the... It's an optional, it's an abstract concept wherein it could be the space, it could be the environment, it could be the forest resource we have, it could be the cyberspace which everybody would have. We are going to many unconfirmed areas. There are specific areas which are called global commons. Sir. Be specific. Sir, oceans is one. Yes, high seas. High seas. High seas, not exclusive, or high seas. High seas. Which everybody uses. No country owns, but everyone uses. Outer spaces. Not this space here or nearest space. Nearest space belongs to the country. Yes, sir. What else? Antarctica? Yes, sir. Cyberspace? Cyberspace, yes. You have done English literature. Yes, sir. Do you remember anything of it? Can I ask you one of the questions? Sir, I do my best to answer. What? Now, who is your favourite author in English literature? Sir, Kali Jibran. English literature. Yes, sir. English classics. Kali Jibran is not English. Sir, he is written in English also. Kali Jibran is not English. Charles Dickens. Hard Times. Robert Browning. Yes, sir. You read? I've read. Robert Browning. Yes, sir. Can you go any further? Sir, what is the importance of English literature? Sir, lines I don't remember. Sir, would some mistakes be about important quotes? To be or not to be. That is the question. You're right. Does Supreme Court make laws? No, sir. Supreme Court, the legislature makes laws and Supreme Court testifies it under the Constitution, a framework of Article 30, Judiciary. Does the acts of Supreme Court help the power of laws? Yes, sir. Under what article is it in the Constitution? Sir, Article 13 of Judicial Review. And sir, outside of Constitution, sir, public interest litigation that it takes up under its... 130, 141, 142. 141, 142. Are you aware of 142? This is, sir, as a piece. 142 says that in order to do complete justice, Supreme Court, in order to do complete justice, Supreme Court has the authority to issue any order, directive, decree. That is what has the force to do. It is binding on everyone in the country. That's why nobody challenges Supreme Court. We'll be close interview. I will give you feedback. Most questioning we feel could be based on your Friday term. There. And that is where Christians usually expect. Ariana is one, sociology, English literature, mass communication. These are some of the areas. Then, Constitution principles. I'll ask you only one or two questions, but there can be other, like, basic structure, concept. You were asked about unitary features. Most important unitary features are emergency purpose. Second is, you know, second is overwhelming power of parliament in the three lists. Then new process of law, et cetera, etc. Sociology is your subject, and then current affairs. These are some of the... Now, one or two things I'll just quickly point out. In the Indian economy, neither democratic... In democratic, there will be no environment or part of the economy. The benefits of good economy will lead to better employment, et cetera. So, there's nothing to do with it. We have great... Therefore, we have a great economy. That's not... The economy is a certain subject. Neither environment or part of it nor democratic dividend, remember this. And don't say India has a great destination of FDI. FDI, how much was it in this? 2017, 19. Sir, last five years is close to 45 million per billion. No. 2017, 19, it was 48 billion, about 49 million, but this year it is declining to 48, 25,000 crores. I mean, 35 million, sorry. It is declining basically. So, don't say this. America has remained the biggest recipient of FDI, not India. India is a poor recipient of FDI. China gets more. So, these are some of the areas where you should focus your attention. Okay. Doing well and doing well with your studies. What are the benefits? Sir, anything specific that I need to... Other than these, I am preparing, I have prepared what's in there. Everything else in your finger, your personality, your talk, your expression is good. Let's check up your friends. Thank you, sir.
