 Are you working? Yes, sir. These days? Yes. Connection and probation in the Indian Postal Service. Okay. Good. Recently, Pakistan has taken some action against one of the terrorists. What action have they taken? Sir, the terrorist that we are talking about is the Chief of Lashkarate. Lashkarate. Jamal Dabadi. And he was arrested for involving in terror financing. And Pakistan arrested him based on his previous records from the pressure of FATF. Now, he has been, what sentence has he been given by the court? Sorry sir, not the sentence. Has he been convicted by the court in Pakistan for his actions in India? Sorry sir, I am not aware of the court connection. Now, another man whose name has been coming up is Basu Nagar. Who is he? He said he was the one who was involved in the Mumbai blast that took place in 2008. That was the Lashkarate guy. Basu Nagar was Jai Shev Mohdman. What has Pakistan said about him? Sorry sir. Okay. Now, you mentioned that due to pressure of the FATF, the courts have taken action against the LED Chief. So, what is this FATF? Sir, FATF is Financial Action Task Force which was established in 1989 by G7 countries. And the main purpose of FATF is to control money laundering and terror financing. And it acts through a multilateral body. And it places countries in gray lists and black lists based upon their activities that they are taking upon. So, initially when it was formed, was terror financing a part of the chapter or not? Sir, initially it was money laundering. Okay. Subsequently, terror financing was also involved in this. Now, what were the grounds of which Pakistan was put on the gray list? Sir, India has put its viewpoint in FATF that Pakistan is involved in proxy wars in India. And it has been giving safe events to terrorists in its own territory. And draining them and sending to India. So, this has been one of the grounds on which it was put on gray list. So, it was put on gray list last year. Now, currently the FATF meeting is going on. I think today is the last day. So, has any decision been taken yet on Pakistan? Yes, sir. The review committee has given that Pakistan should stay in gray list. Correct. For up to June, they have been given time. Yes, sir. There are certain points which were given against which Pakistan had to take action. So, some of them have been covered by Pakistan. But not all of them. Look, the government has been trying to give a fill-up to sports. And they had started something called the Kelo Games. You haven't done it, sir? Now, another series is now to be held called the Kelo India Youth Games. What is this? You are not exactly aware of Kelo India Youth Games. Right. What was the early ones were? Kelo India program that... That's right. Last year they had Kelo India School Games. And now, they have moved up, you know, about 17 and above. So, they are now at Kelo India Youth Games. They are going to be held. I look into it. Yeah. In the global issue. Okay, now, you know, have you heard of the Bodo Accord? Yes. What is the Bodo Accord? Sir, it was recently signed among the parties of Indian government, the Assam government and the Bodo groups. What would you say is the most important achievement of this accord? Sir, it stopped the militancy in those areas and has given a window to preserve the country. Yeah. It has the militant groups. Insurgent groups have given up the demarcated state. That is what is the main mission. Resurgency revives again. That's for us to see. Okay. Thank you. Tell me, what do you think are the main issues in which the country should focus? Sir, there are few issues which we should continue. First is ensuring sustainability in agriculture. And because a lot of our workforce is dependent on agriculture, so we need to make it profitable and shift most of them into manufacturing and services. Fair enough. Yes. Sir, secondly, though we are currently fifth-largest economy in the world, but there is a lot of income inequality and economic inequality in our country. Yes, it is. Our capital is $2,000. Yes, it is nothing. Yes, sir. So we need to address the income inequality. Sir, third is that we need to concentrate... Income inequality or no income scenario of about 20 crore people. Poverty. Poverty. Yes, sir. So, I mean, it's an economic handle of reducing inequality as well as addressing poverty. Sir, third is our investment in manufacturing sector and also in developing startups in our country, because that will create wealth in the country and which will further promote overall development. Okay. Fourth, sir, we should concentrate on our national interests. Incidentally, the startup program, has it done any good at all to date about four years, I think, at all? Yes. What has happened? You heard of good startups doing well, four years is enough time for a startup. Sir, we have some unicorns in our Indian startups, like Dream11, Flipkart, OU. It has nothing to do with this program, right? I am asking about this program. Sir, in this particular program, I am not aware of the evaluation part of it. Nothing much has happened. Okay. Now, what do you think? Is Ayodhya Temple a government affair or a private affair? Sir, it's a private affair and government has tried to intervene in the beginning. However, we got a Supreme Court-mediated solution later. But now government has nothing to do with this? Sir, in the Supreme Court judgment, the Supreme Court asked the government to establish a trust to build a temple and also allocate five acres to the Muslim group so that they can build their mosque in the... No, that solution is over, accepted by both sides. What I am saying is, is the government still involved? Does it need to get itself involved now? Sir, in order to maintain a communal harmony, the government should try to work on those lines. Supreme Court has maintained communal harmony. I don't think they are fighting now at the government. Yes, sir. Right? Because I am asking these questions to those paper articles with the photographs that the Prime Minister is meeting these people today. Does the Prime Minister have time for all this? You know, because you said poverty and this and that, startup, nothing has happened. So, why does he need to meet them? Sir, it sends off a very good message and as a symbol it acts that the Prime Minister of India has all communities and he has, in his mind, interests of all communities of the country. That he has said many times. Yes. You really need to meet people. Sir, but it is... You think it is necessary? Yes, sir. If you were Prime Minister, you would have met. Yes, sir. Is that so? Yes, sir. Because it will send a very good message. What message? No, message. Taptu, Sankaratkar, yes, you will meet. Yes, sir. How many will you meet? Sir, because... Yes, sir. I know. Prime Minister is coming. Sir, you think Prime Minister is meant for this? Sir, it is one of his duties to maintain peace and law and order in the country. State, subject, we have law and order. Law and order is not a central subject. U.P. Chief Minister is there for that. Although U.P. Chief Minister also has no role in this, but if there is law and order, he should try to do it. Okay, very well. That's all. You are interested in watching TED Talks. What are TED Talks? TED Talks are a platform where people from diverse backgrounds give talks on their work and it is maximum 18 minutes that they get and they present their ideas in a very innovative way. And the range, the field range from technology, entertainment, design, science, religion... Have you given any TED Talk? No, not yet. I would love to give one. Why not? I would love to give one. What does TED Talks stand for? Yes, sir. It is technology, entertainment and design. Okay. Okay, now you are from Teningana and there is a scheme known as Ridae. Are you aware? What was the scheme? Ridae scheme is for... Heritage, city development and... I am not aware of it. ... augmentation goals now. Thank you. What is being done in this scheme? No, I am not exactly aware of what the Teningana government is doing in this. But we have certain heritage cities like Badrachalam temple and... What about Badrangal? Yes, ma'am. That is in Teningana? Yes. Hyderabad? We are very close to Hyderabad district. We have a thousand pillar temple. Yes, thousand pillar temple, so it is for there looking after these spaces. Because we already have a smart city project. Yes. So to look after the heritage cities, this was initiated. You are from Hyderabad. Tell me something about Hyderabad. Ma'am, Hyderabad is a cosmopolitan city. This is up in Christ? In Hyderabad, we can see Charmina. We have Tangand, that is a necklace road. Which is a famous recreational place. And we have Chilkur Palaji Temple. Who is known as Visabhava. Because people come there for... Yes. They do service there. What else? We have various technological paths. Where we have companies like Google and Amazon, setting up the headquarters here. And apart from that ma'am, we have a lot of very good food culture in Hyderabad. So we have a lot of food chains to visit. Now there are some very interesting skills of the Teningana government. Can you mention any of them? Yes ma'am. Which are doing good work? Yes ma'am. Few are the Raikubandu scheme. What is this Raikubandu? It is an investment guarantee scheme to the farmers. To the farmers, yes. They are given 5000 rupees per season. And they have the full autonomy to use this money in the best interest of their feed. And it is seen as a very good move because it gives the farmer the autonomy to decide about his feed. But the Kaliya scheme which is an Odisha, it also includes the landless labor. But Raikubandu doesn't. Doesn't, yes ma'am. That scheme also includes the agricultural laborers and also it provides livelihood opportunities. Where the Teningana scheme is only for the farmers with land purpose. So what are the other schemes? Ma'am, the other one is the Kaleshwaram project which is a multi-purpose project. But there is a lot of controversy about the Kaleshwaram project. Yes ma'am. How many trees will be cut down? How many trees which are in the extinct species will be cut down? Yes ma'am. So they will end up with some lefunias in implementation. And the project hasn't reached its timeline yet, deadline yet. And also there are cost warrants in the scheme. So we have some concerns with the scheme. And some water schemes like the Kaliya and the Pagirata scheme. Yes ma'am. Mission Kakatiya is for regenerating the lakes that were built by Kakatiya rulers. It is about desilting and regenerating the surface water. Whereas Mission Pagirata is about providing water supply. So what is the water supply given to all the households now? Ma'am, currently the tap connections are given. But the water has been released in phased manner. Which is not 100% yet. But it is in a series. You've done mechanical engineering. What is the difference between robots and drones? Ma'am, robots are any instrument that performs activities in a mechanical way, in an automated way. And drones can be said to be one form of robot, which generally fly in the air and they use for surveillance and capturing images for such purposes. Okay. Now, my last question since when the postal services should our postal services be privatized? Ma'am, before privatization we need to first corporatize the postal system. And we have recommendations from TSA Subramanian committee that What are these recommendations? Yes, because the recommendations are based on the activities of the postal department because it is involved in banking, insurance, e-commerce and mail operation. So, the committee recommended that each of these units should be first set up as business units. They have to corporatize these units. And then we can also offer IPOs in the future. So, first step has been taken in the direction by establishing the India Post Payment Bank. All right. Thank you. Give me an example of a set of all sets. Give me an example of a set of all sets that are not members of themselves. Now, you are from Tehran. Can you tell me something about the Disha Act? Yes, sir. Disha Act has been passed by the AP Legislative Assembly because after the incident that has happened in the Hyderabad about rape, victim got sorted. So, the Disha Act has mostly catered to speedy trials of the rape cases within twenty-one days by establishing separate courts and by employing separate staff in order to look after such cases. Over the years, there have been many acts that have been brought at this central level or at this state level to curb crimes against women. Have they been effective? And do you think the Disha Act will be effective? Sir, we have taken such certain legislations like the Disha Act as well as sexual harassment against women at work, prevention of sexual harassment at workplaces. Sir, however, we can see that the crimes against women, according to the data we see, they are increasing. And we have also set up near Beha Fund in order to get one-stop centers, but those implementation has also not happened, the satisfactory limit gets. What is the purpose of the Disha Act? What shall be used? Nine percent. What are the areas for which the assistance can be given under the Beha Fund? Sir, for all three, main three purposes are the legal assistance, the medical assistance and the judicial, the process that takes place. Most important, safety and security, particularly in transport. This year, we are going to be 75 years old. One of the objectives which is contained in the Disha Act is equality of human beings. Now, to put the text into the same, it has been achieved. Sir, we can say it has been a mixed response in the sense that all countries have achieved equal status in terms of voting, that is political equality you can see internationally. However, if you see the income inequality, that is the economic inequality or the social inequality that exists between the countries and between intra-country inequality has been addressed. So, we can say we have reached a good status but not the desired status. So, access to health care and food, etc. Now, which is the principle order of human which is based in the area of equality of human beings to bring about equality of human beings? Sir, human rights commission. That is for human rights. Economic inclusion comes up. Which major foreign companies have set shop in Hebron? Sir, there are few companies like Google, Amazon, Ikea and Uber. So, these are some connections. Is Walmart also there? I am not up for that. Now, what do you think of this Ikea and Amazon and Walmart? These are also, they have their, well, not two of them had their physical stores but mostly they are selling online. What do you think of them coming into India? Is it a healthy thing? A correct thing for Indian economy and Indian consumer? Yes, sir. If you see from the consumer's perspective, then definitely it brings a lot of competition to the market and innovation in the market place and also for affordability of the consumer increases. However, there are some concerns like dealing with the small hawkers or the traditional retail shoppers which have expressed their concerns regarding these shops. So, we can look it as a, if you look at the economic angle, then definitely we can call it as a creative destruction because whenever a new idea comes into the market, then the old ideas are replaced by that. So, we need to take concerns of these hawkers and retailers in our mind and take measures accordingly, sir. What concerns we can take? Either you allow them to prosper and satisfy your customer, bring a lot of FDI or you as into a shop and then the hawkers thrive. You can't have both. Someone will have to go. Sir, for a country, what is LDA? Sir, in the near future we have to, at least in the short term, we have to take the concern, sir. Like Amazon as a market place it provides platform for all retailers in that sense. So, they can integrate it into the system instead of either or. We can have a middle part where we can integrate them into the e-commerce system and as far as hawkers are concerned so we can provide them alternate markets so we can provide them some skill so that they can also be updated in their... It is not hawker who is crying. It is this RSS-backed people brick-and-mortar-stored fellows. Yes, sir. Hawker is not affected by that. He is selling something else. We have such examples in the past also. If you want to prosper then the line is very clear. You allow them to continue. Let those brick-and-mortar they should also become efficient as these are... Yes, sir. It will improve the competition. So, that will happen through promoting competition but not by restricting any one of them, sir. So, who is restricting? Sir, like the... Yes, the concerns are that from the retailers they have to constraint the big giants. CCIA started as a university and what happened to that? Sorry, sir. No. High court has put a stop to it. Yes, you know. You give us a reason why you are starting this industry. High court is not the best. I am looking at it. Is the Postal Department an ailing department? Sir, in terms of revenue if you see then we have incurred losses over time. But as such, Postal Department is along with business development it is also the universal service obligation that is to serve the underserved and unserved areas of the country with mail operations and banking facilities. So, if we judge it and learn that terms then definitely Postal Department is doing good. Is there water scarcity in Hyderabad? Yes, sir. In some areas there is water scarcity. And water is supplied by tankers or what? Yes, sir. Some areas are supplied by tankers. So, is the government doing something about it? Yes, sir. What are the specific steps have been initiated? Sir, one is about regenerating the lakes in Hyderabad city. Which ones have been the regenerated? Sir, the works are still on but the main one is the Ghandipet Lake and the necklace road that the Moose River flows through those areas. So, those are the main lakes that have been regenerated in the city as of now. They have been regenerated. I am sorry. They are still in the phases of not yet fully coming. They are still thinking as well now. Yes. The works have begun but the processes... Is there a Nobel Prize for Maths? No, sir. Not a Nobel Prize. But we have Fields Medal and Abel Prize. Which of them is considered the bigger one? So, Fields Medal is the most famous. Which country awards it and who got the last one? Sir, it is awarded by Canada and last year it was given to Akash Incotation. He is from Australia. Okay. Is game theory a field of mathematics? It can be seen as a mathematics application in economics. How will you define it? Game theory. So, game theory deals with the strategies that need to be employed when different parties are fighting or different parties are demanding one particular resource. Then we can use it in policy. How does it do it? What does game theory do? What is the purpose of this game theory? Sir, it gives the best strategy to go about in fields like war. By doing what? By studying what? By studying the other person, the opponents. Studying the patterns. I can see. Patterns. And then outlines a strategy for the future. Supreme Court Supreme Court's powers are defined in Article 141 and 142. What are these powers? So, we close the interview and give you feedback. How do you think you have handled the interview? It could have been better. There are some gaps. No, I think you have done very well. You have handled most questions nicely. Now, we feel that most of the questioning will be based on the pilot. Till and till, you are in a poster survey, some questions on poster surveys. Then mathematics. Mechanical engineering. And finally, current affairs. Like you were asked about Keno India, photo, Raidu Bindu, etc. Some questions on foreign policy. These are the areas where you should prepare yourself. That Tilangana has some problems and some good things are there. Like it has been able to progress economically. Human development index is also improving. But then there are also some problems like reservation for Muslims for short term by the judiciary. And not the farmers who said so. Go and look at this. These are some of the problems. Then current affairs and constitutional issues. Like what is good governance concept, what is basic structure concept, you know, certain things. You were asked a question about incomes. Income rising, income inequality. You are confusing it, raising the income. Are you trying to say that you should rob the poor rich and fill the pockets of the poor? That is the impression you are giving by linking it to raising. Instead, productivity must increase. Don't have so much on it. Income disparity. When you were corrected also, then you again came back to income inequality. As if you will take away from the rich and give it to the poor. That was not the point. You will prove that. Then you were asked a question about Prime Minister, you know, holding these meetings of Tehran and all. You should be at this one, you should be absolutely clear. Secularism doesn't permit this. India's secularism. This is all wrong. You should, if anyone asks you, most probably nobody will ask you in it. If anyone asks you, you say leaders have no business doing these kind of things. We should remain above these religious activities and religious symbols. If at all they ask that Indian forms of secularism is different from that of western secularism. What is the Indian forms of secularism? Protection of all religions equally. Why doesn't he wear a Muslim garb, why doesn't he set up a foundation that is known for mosque? He is doing it only for Hindus. So isn't this a discrimination? Can I say that in an interview? No, you don't have to say, I am meeting your point. He is ostensibly giving an impression that he is a Hindu leader. Which is wrong? So in the interview, they ask such questions? No, it is wrong. I consider it totally wrong. A leader must not keep himself away from religious symbols or religious activities and show a neutral stance completely. Okay?
