 Good afternoon sir. Is pronounced as R? Yes sir. Where do you stay now? Sir right now in Goalyar sir. Goalyar. Goalyar, what your address is this much? Sir it got changed between mains and the results sir. Sir during the time I was giving mains I was in Delhi sir. After that my father got transferred so right now I am in Goalyar. Now father is still serving? Yes sir, he is an IPS sir. He is written after retirement? If retired indicate the post by him held at the time of retirement. He has written transport commissioner. Oh sir, I am not sure sir but the form was filled correctly and this hasn't been pointed out before sir. He is which batch? 89 batch sir. 89 batch. He was posted in Delhi also? Yes sir. Sir in MP Bhavan? MP Bhavan. And you stayed in where? Near Hotel Lila Palace means? New Motiva. And what is the business your mother is doing? So she is managing director of an investment bank sir. So this transport commissioner post is in Bhopal or? So the main office is in Goalyar or there is an additional office in Bhopal also sir. Yeah then Bittak mechanical firm. Recently there was last year there was some case involving chief secretary of Delhi. You know that? Assault case? Assault case was there. What is latest on that now? Sir the allegations against the chief minister and his aides have been dropped sir. Now what is going on now? What is latest on that? I am not sure sir. As far as I know they have been given a clean chit sir. But I think cases have been filed against him a little. I will have to check on that sir. Delhi getting learner's license. How difficult it is? Sir it was difficult but now faceless services have been introduced and I think they will significantly make it easier sir. These RTO's where the learner's license is given. They are known to be very bureaucratic in their approach and a lot of middlemen are there. But with the faceless services I think it will become significantly easier sir. The police has got some role to play there? Sir it is a uniform service but it is not police sir. Like the case with MP. The RTO's are uniformed because they have to carry out border inspection. But they are not a part of regular police sir. So what is your father's job as a transport commissioner? Sir it is a supervision of all RTO officers with regards to services like issuance of learner's license, driver's license, issuance of permits and overall implementation of motor vehicle's act sir. Okay so does he also find there in MP that lot of corruption takes place in the RTO officers? And what is being done to improve that like in Delhi? Sir interestingly he introduced faceless just 2-3 months back before Delhi got it. He introduced faceless services for learner's license, for renewable of license as well as for permits sir. But I think Delhi it is some aid when services it is less. So in Delhi about 35 services out of 37 except for the driving license issuance has been made faceless. In Madhya Pradesh right now other services are in pilot projects sir as far as I am aware. Okay so MP previously corruption was there now it is little going down. In context of RTO officers? RTO officers. Definitely with faceless coming. And your mother is in investment? So she helps companies raise capital particularly in the solar energy sector sir. Okay have you heard of fund of funds? It was a part of the liquidity measures announced by government for MSMEs sir. Fund of funds. Yes sir in general a fund of funds. Means what? Sir basically we have daughter funds and we have parent funds. So the parent funds supports the daughter funds that is as far as I understand that is called a fund of funds. If I want to make an investment in shares or in mutual funds in some companies of US is it possible for me to do it sitting in here? Sir in Gujarat gift city you can now do it in the IFSC but otherwise I am not sure sir. That is the direct investment but through mutual funds can you do it? It is there only for the mutual funds. Delhi phase 4 metro any idea about that? How long you stayed in Delhi? Sir about from 2004 till 2020 sir. 4 to 20, 16 years. We must be knowing about metro. Phase 4 is coming now. New line sir I am aware the pink line and the magenta line. That is the 3. Now 4 is from 1 is from Aro City to Tughlaqabad. A number of trees are being cut. Any idea? I will read upon this sir. Coming in newspaper. Yes. Okay. Have you heard of FAQs? What are FAQs? FAQ. Frequently asked questions. Frequently asked questions. Yes sir. Where we find that? Sir on websites sir regarding any public service delivery or any organization sir. Whenever people have to interact with an organization or with a body. But that is not given in the legislation, rules or regulations. Why these are required? So it is to make it convenient for people sir. If they are not able to understand through the regulations. Sir it is based on the idea that most people would have similar kind of doubts with regards to a service. And hence it is easier to outrightly point it out sir. With some examples. Yes sir. This solar energy investments you were talking about. Can you tell me about the recent developments in the solar sector in the country? So we have touched almost 41 gigawatt of renewable energy in solar sector sir. As part of our targets we have set around 450 gigawatts for total renewable energy of which the major portion is solar. Our prime minister said about solar energy that solar energy is sure pure and secure. And recent schemes include the PM Qusum scheme for solarization as well as the mega solar plant. For example in Revite has been announced. Any major private players entering the solar energy sector? Any development in that regard? The Lions, Adani, you are not aware of this. What are the EV electric vehicle related startups in India? Is Tesla entering India? Sir it is in talks right now. Recently there was a news that successfully the customs duty for vehicles above $40,000 and for below $40,000 has been reduced by different amounts. So it is believed that Tesla could enter Indian markets. So now one of your hobby is what they call debating. If I give you a topic, will you be able to debate IC engine versus electric vehicle engine? So first I will speak for electric vehicles, electric engine. So I will say that we have major advantages for electric vehicles. Like one, they are less polluting. Two, less air pollution. Two, there is less noise pollution. Three, the economic efficiency in the long run is much higher for electric vehicles. And fourth, the chances of failure for electric vehicles is much less since they have less rotating parts. However, now I will shift to IC engine because there are certain disadvantages of electric vehicles. For example, the overall price is much higher. Second, the range is much lesser which leads to a phenomenon called range anxiety. Third, I would say the top speed is also lesser, which basically makes it a less of a highway friendly car, sir. Even when I talk about production, we have certain constraints like the battery needs raw materials like lithium, nickel and cobalt and a charging infrastructure is not there. So most of our IC engines are being imported. So we will have to import EV engines as well. So the raw material right now we do not have sufficient domestic capacity, sir. You worked at an NGO, RO1. What is the process for registering an NGO? What are the legal provisions that deal with NGOs? We have the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act that deals with the regulations made to NGO. We have the NGO Darpan Portal underneath the IOC, sir. Okay. Now, you have written classical, anti and bug house. What is this? What are the differences? Classical is the normal variation of chess. Anti chess is losing chess basically where the person who sacrifices his pieces the fastest wins. And bug houses are two assistive player chess. So there are two players on one side and two on other side. It's played on two boards parallely. Okay. Which is your favorite? So how does it influence the game? How does bug house or the way of playing influence the game? Right. Sir, that is it said that it does negatively impact our tactical thinking ability because it's more of the fun variant. And the disadvantage is that pieces can... So is it like tennis where one player or one team plays first and second? Or it's a collaborative approach? So two boards are placed side by side and the pieces killed on one board, they can get transferred to the second board, which is what makes it fun yet compromises on the tactical aspects. Okay. Interesting. Appointment of police chief in Delhi. There are some controversies. Can you elaborate on this? So recently, Mr. Rakesh Asthana was appointed as the police chief. However, the controversy was that he's a Gujarat Carter officer one and that the inter-carder reputation was given specifically for this purpose and two, that he had less than six months left for his service, which was against a Supreme Court directive. What is your take? Should it have been done? As long as it improves the overall quality of policing in a state, I believe that public interest does override a lot of things. At the same time, sir, the government should put out clearly and very transparently why it was done so that no one feels that any injustice happens. Oscars. What is the status of Oscars right now? Oscars of COVID. How is it impacted? It has had a negative impact because Oscars was famous for basically shops as well as E-trees and the major clientele for Oscars, for the colleges and universities around it. Since both have been, since because of the lockdown, as well as the colleges being closed, a lot of small businesses have been closed in Oscars, sir. Anything functioning in Oscars right now? I haven't visited, so I would not be able to tell, sir. Where is this? The Arohan NGO. It was part of our NSS, so it was taught within the premises of college. Okay. And what were the methods you adopted in teaching master days? Ma'am, we had to restrict ourselves to chalk and board. So basically, I would supply them with quizzes as well as materials. I would ask them to come after having had an initial reading. Then I would test them with different questions and teach them theory on Blackboard. On Blackboard, then they were not able to see. Sorry ma'am. So blind women, national association or blind women? Ma'am, that is different. I worked in... Ma'am, that's what I would ask you. The top mathematics at Arohan NGO had answers. Okay, that's like a volunteer at national association. Yes ma'am, that's it. That's the bottom line. What are you doing here? With the blind women, volunteer at national association? Ma'am, helping them with their everyday activities. So which could include teaching them using a computer or working in the arts and crafts department because NAV is famous for taking part in the blind school Mela. So they have to make arts and crafts over the year. They have to study for the exams. So this is where we volunteers would come in. So for example, if you're teaching them a computer, so we use this different kind of keyboard or something called this... No ma'am. Interestingly, the same keyboard and the same computer was used, except that speakers were on all the time. It's amazing to see how much they had come. They were able to type flawlessly because they knew where the keys were positioned. When they used to click and the sound used to come, then this is the key which they had clicked. How they used to know where the entire key was. Ma'am, if you have the keyboard, for example, we know that the keys are in a particular order like Q, W, E, R, T, Y. So once you know the edge of the keyboard, you can find out, you have a basic idea, a mental image in your mind where the other keys would be. Ma'am, that is why I said it's extremely interesting to see how they were flawlessly typing even without the use of sound. The sound was mostly for the newcomers, ma'am. Ma'am, the computer was meant for making everyday life smoother for them. It was basically an essential skill that was being given. But to the second part of your question, yes, NAB did something spectacular. They brought two special treatments. One is the discovering hands and second is the Japanese therapy. Both basically rely on the superior tactile perception of people who are visually impaired. So because of this, industries were actively looking for these women and hiring them. Which city would you like? Would you prefer Delhi or Goliath? Ma'am, both have their own advantages. I think Delhi being the capital, it gives you exposure to a lot of cultures. It has better public health facilities, education facilities as well as the overall infrastructure. But when I see Goliath, the life is calm and relaxed. There is a lot of greenery all around. And even the air is cleaner. So ma'am, it would be difficult for me to choose. Okay, but then you have opted for Delhi as your option. The category has been advocated based on the criteria which was given in the form, ma'am. There is a very serious problem in Delhi which still needs to be addressed and whereas we ignore it. Ma'am, one I would say is the crime rate, particularly crimes against women. Two would be the issue of traffic. And three would be the issue of air pollution. So if you are there, then which are the things you would like to address first? Which would be the issue of air pollution? First would be ma'am, definitely crimes against women. Why do you think that you can address this problem and why is Delhi going to address this or administrations going to address this? Ma'am, first I'll answer what can be done. So I think in the short term, we have to improve the overall infrastructure like lighting in areas, CCTV cameras, deployment of marshals in buses, installation of panic buttons, increasing police patrolling. Other long-term measures could be that improving the overall investigation and increasing the conviction rate, addressing the issue of alcohol and drugs so that the overall crime rate reduces. As to the second part, ma'am, why this is happening? I would say it's a combination of increasing unemployment, increasing use of alcohol and drugs as well as increasing mobility and the infrastructure deficiency which makes it slightly unsafe for women, ma'am. Also as the NCRB has pointed out that in 98% of the cases, women knew their perpetrator. So which makes it difficult to prevent a crime per se. It becomes more of an administrative issue rather than of policing. So do you think that as an administration with respect to the Delhi Haryana, we will be able to solve this issue? This is never being a priority for women's safety. Ma'am, I would not say so. Especially after the NERBH case, every case of assault is treated extremely seriously. A lot of reforms have taken place right from EFIR to mandating FIR. Right now, the SHO can be suspended if he refuses to file the FIR. Certain new provisions are also added in IPC. So although we have a long way to go, a lot of changes have taken place. Like recently, the number of marshals were deployed in buses. So definitely ma'am. Last question about delay. Ma'am, I would not say so. Personally, I feel that we have an extremely thriving and inclusive debating environment. We have people debating literally everywhere from drawing rooms to news channel rooms to the parliament as well. So have you watched U.S. presidential debates? I have heard about this. I have heard about those ma'am. Have you ever seen? Not clearly ma'am. You know, we have debates, we are expecting that we will be seeing some. So do you think that India should also form these debates for elections? I think ma'am, we can it would allow people to know more about the candidates, their thought process, their views. And most importantly that people often feel the existing speeches are a PR exercise. But a debate would help people know the true picture of a candidate, the underlying thoughts of a candidate. So it would improve the overall quality. The statistics also are part of your mathematics. What is the irrational number? Sir, a number which cannot be expressed in the form p by okay Can an irrational number be drawn on the number line? Sir, as far as I understand it can't be because the exact value of irrational number is not known sir. For example, if we take pi so it starts with 3.141 257 but it's never ending. What is complex number? Complex number is a number of the form a plus iota b where one part is real and the other part is imaginary. What is the practical application of complex number? Sir, as far as I know it's used in control theory and circuits but Okay, circuits in what way it will help? So the complex numbers? Not sure sir, not sure. Okay, again tell me what is a practical application of Lagrangian equation? Sir, I am slightly forgetting the Lagrangian equation. Remember, there is something called Lagrangian equation. I am forgetting sir, I will have to read up on this. So, options only lead for means only, after that we forgot. Can I take it in that way? Sir, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian equations? Yes, sir. They are used for... That is Cayley and Hamilton theorem. That is different. Lagrangian is little different. Cayley Hamilton theorem is in group theories sir. What is the practical application of Cayley Hamilton theorem? You explained to us in a layman's word, what is the general term? Sir, if we take any square matrix, it satisfies its own characteristic equation, that is the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Basically A is a matrix, then A minus lambda I. Okay, that is again, Greek and Latin, layman cannot understand. So, practically where can we use this? I am not sure sir, I will read up on this. Okay. What are the recent reforms the government has initiated to improve trading across borders? Not sure sir, I am not aware. To improve use of doing business? It is less. As well as I think the single window quotas have been created input tax credit process has been made easier as well as the insurance coverage. What are the components of ease of doing business index? So, getting permit, registering a business, electricity, then protecting minority investors, these are some of the components. Privacy. Why it is a fundamental right? It prevents any undue or unnecessary interference in our lives. It ensures our autonomy. It is crucial for us to exercise our own liberty, divide of any unnecessary interference. So, how it is made fundamental right? Sir, it was declared as a fundamental right. What is the analogy? How many fundamental rights are there? So, under which right? Under article 21, sir, they took a liberal or expanded understanding of article 21. They said that right to life and liberty. Okay, your interview is over.
