Sir, there is corruption still there sir, it is there in multiple levels. If I say objectively with the rankings of corruption perception index of transparency international so we have we have dropped in the rankings so sir it shows that corruption is still there it is increasing day by day. But at the same time sir we have taken multiple efforts to reduce the corruption ట్త్రతికాదాద్నినీిలు ఉగాప్త్ట్టదాఝార్ట్ట్టంట్నత్రినెపికువారిగార్కేరంర్లువార్ప్గార్డానే లాత్యౕచిత్యమానోలంఆవార్. వామిముచాయాడారంచి Mm. నికినాడి. పరిమపానుండి. పౕ ఏప్లతిమానూడ్టి. పరారంటిమంట్టారం. There are some challenges with respect to smart meters. There are some issues in it. Can you tell me about this? So the major concern with smart meter is the cyber security issues sir. They can be hacked because of the use of information communication technology. The energy consumption data can be changed sir which may prove negative to the discombs especially as they are facing with revenue collection. Facing problems with revenue collection sir. Have you heard of the concept of sponge cities? Yes sir. Can you tell me? So sponge cities, they are type of smart cities sir. They use different porous material which can take rain water into the ground to recharge the aquifiers sir. So it is actually to prevent urban flooding. Okay. Extreme climate events. This is constantly in use. Can you define what is an extreme climate event? Sir if an event it goes beyond the normal average circumstances. For example sir if I take the cyclone. Recently sir we are seeing very severe cyclonic storms compared to earlier normal tropical cyclones. The speed of the wind increased. The damage, the intensity of it increased hugely sir. So sir these are some extreme climatic events and also sir the after effects of the climatic events like if we see the other example of western guards. After cyclones sir we are seeing landslides and post floods. So sir they are causing extreme damage to the infrastructure and also for the people's lives. Do you think there is a lack of freedom of expression for cartoonists in the country? Sir I don't exactly think so sir. There is freedom of expression especially the artistic freedom. We are seeing so many cartoonists in our newspapers who are promoting their cartoons even on the political issues sir. So there is lack of, sir there is more liberalism in our country in accepting various other political views or social views sir. But in the recent time sir we are seeing some sort of sedition cases against the cartoonists. For example sir the Manjul case of his Twitter account has been blocked because of cartoons sir. So sir but cases here and there are happening. Can you name three prominent Indian cartoonists? Yes sir. Sir R.K. Lakshman sir. He is known for his common man cartoon sir. Sir I know some contemporary cartoonists sir who draws in the newspapers. There is Sandeep Adwaryu sir and E.P. Unni sir. Can you name the cartoonist of economist? Sorry sir I am not aware sir. Have you seen the cartoons of economists? No sir. So you have read anthropology. Can you tell me have humans been vegetarian or non vegetarian? Sir there are both vegetarian and non vegetarian in our humans sir. Especially during our hunting gathering age we have started having non vegetarian also. We are getting huge catch at a small hunting and we are consuming it for days. So sir there are both vegetarians and non vegetarians sir. Raw meat or cooked meat? Sir as a process of evolution sir before invention of fire we are having the raw meat and after invention of fire sir there is cooked meat sir. Sir I could not exactly recall the dates a year sir. Can you tell me the pre homo sapiens some of these things of humans? Some Neon Darthals, Homo erectus and Australopithecus. What is tape ball cricket? So tape ball is a tennis ball sir which is a rapid in an electrical tape sir. It was practiced in Pakistan. It is good in producing good fast bowlers. But sir in the recent times there have been tournaments in our country also conducted using tape balls. And it is slowly percolating into the in our country sir. Sir it is just played like an usual cricket. But the ball differs sir because it increases bounce on the grassy pitchers. So sir for getting good bounce on grass pitchers at rural areas or also on grasslands. It is played sir and also there are some tournaments conducted at night time sir. It can improve the visibility if we tape it with different colored tape. So these are some reasons behind it sir. Do you think during the covid times we should have cricket tournaments? Yes sir that is an issue of dilemma sir. On one side the country is facing grief and on the other side people are looking for entertainment. But sir it was stopped at the right time. The movement, the player safety and people safety is at risk. The BCC has done good in stopping the tournaments sir. What on field restrictions have been brought for covid protocols or cricket? So firstly sir there is restriction on using saliva in shining the ball sir. Because it can transmit the disease to the another person. And secondly sir the overall air bubble agreement has been in place. Which prevented players from going outside and meeting other people outside. Can you tell me the import value of electronics? Last year or a couple of years back any data. How much of total we have imported electronics? Sir I am not exactly aware of the numbers. What is the government of India trying to curb to trying to reduce the import of electronics? What policies have been introduced? Sir recently there is production linked incident to scheme sir. For the promotion of the production of electronics in our domestic industries. And also to boost our exports. Sir there is national electronic policy 2019. We changed to generate around 10 million employment through the scheme sir. And also to make us better in electronics sector electronics manufacturing sir. Thirdly sir the clusters have been created electronics manufacturing clusters. Just like they give policy incentives to them. And so it is especially to boost our domestic manufacturing of electronics sir. So these are the major schemes that I could remember regarding electronics sir. Can you name some of the clusters like which area is there? Even if it is not a formal cluster which area in India is leading in manufacturing of electronics? Sir Bangalore sir. There are some companies like Foxconn. Sir Chennai. Sir in Delhi sir there is Samsung. Samsung has installed a plant here. Sir apart from that sir I am not aware of any other cluster. Can you name some tourist places? Yes sir. So there is Kailashgiri hill which has rope way also which gives scenic beauty sir. Secondly sir there is Kambalkonda wildlife sanctuary. The prominent animals are deer and leopards there sir. And so the beaches especially the Roshkonda beach and RK beach are the famous beaches of Vishakhapatnam sir. So there is Simhachalam temple. There is a religious tourist spot which annually attracts so many tourists. And apart from that sir even Vishakhapatnam steel plant it has also attracted some tourists. And there are some guides attached to it who show the whole Vishakhapatnam steel plant working sir. Recently there have been some IT interacts rate on media house. What is your opinion on that? Is it amounting to curtailing the freedom of expression? Yes sir. So I am not exactly aware of the issue sir. I just know the name of the media house and the issue behind it. What is the news that they have projected in their website and why is it causing the issue sir. I am not exactly aware. Okay. One last question. What is ultra mega power project? Sir it differs from the normal power project in terms of capacity of generation. Sorry sir I forgot. I could not recall it sir as of now. You have done electrical and electrolysis engineering. What is the difference between the two? Sir in electrical circuit it cannot make any decision sir. It cannot give any input to that. It simply powers the device sir. But if we see the electronic device we can give certain instruction to it sir. For example sir if we take the example of microwave oven the moment it cooks the food if we can give the timing to it it can end the supply to it and it will stop the function sir. So we can give some message to an electronic device. Okay what is the role of CEA? Central Electricity Authority. You have heard of it? Yes sir. What is their role? Sir it helps in regulating the tariff structure and also promotion of various schemes for the development of electricity especially for the benefit of consumers. It also overlooks the implementation of various legislations that passed by the government like electricity amendment bill, electricity amendment act sir. So sir these are some major functions of central electricity authority sir. In the electricity pricing we have the concept of two-part tariff. Do you have any idea about what is a two-part tariff? Sorry sir I am not aware of it sir. Now what are TND losses? Sir they are transmission and distribution losses sir. We have our power grid which has both transmission network and distribution network sir. And with increasing length of the wires the losses increases right from the there are losses in both transmission network and distribution network sir. They are mostly technical losses sir. Theft is also part of that? Yes sir. Okay now what is PLF planned load factor? What is the function of that? Sir it signifies the efficiency of the power plant. Do you have any idea about the average for India PLF? Sir I could not recall exactly. See economic survey it will give you. Is it 60, 70 any rough idea? Sir. Now Dave Ball cricket that is a very interesting thing. But don't you think it will add to the weight of the ball? Now normally what is the weight of a cricket ball? Do you have any idea? Okay when it becomes heavy. Yes sir it becomes heavy. So what? It will be obvious. But what will be the effect on the cricket? Will the ball get slow or it will become fast or what? Or it will have no impact on the speed? Sir it will have impact sir. It will have impact in what way? Sir generally it increases the weight more than a tennis ball. But sir it helps in baller with increased weight. It helps to put more pressure on his hand to throw the ball. It helps in baller developing his capability to deliver the cork ball. He can feel the cork ball a little bit light and he can produce good speed and also swing in the air. Do you think it will spin more after a while? Yes sir it can swing sir. So now the quality of the tape also matters. Yes sir. About the quality of the ball. Talking of Andhra Pradesh and multiple capitals. What happens to the old Amravathi? Is it still there? Yes sir it is still there sir. It is also part of the new three capitals proposal also as a legislative capitals. But you know so many promises were made. Yes sir. Even from foreign government is in north right? Yes sir Singapore government. Sir it is Singapore government. Singapore they are already invested. So if you again create more capitals don't you think the importance of this particular Amravathi goes down? And profitability obviously you know in terms of development and things like that. So do you think it's a good policy? Sir with respect to three capitals sir. Yes sir the idea behind it is good sir. What is the idea? Sir it aims to promote decentralization of the state sir and also the inclusive development. It does not better ways of doing that. Decentralization? Yes sir. It has done very many ways in different ways. Creating capital perhaps the least desired and the easiest one. Yes sir I do agree with that sir. Yes sir I agree with that sir. But it is not a feasible idea sir in my opinion. Because the distance between the three capitals will be more than 400 kilometers sir. And in our parliamentary form of government sir the interaction between executive and legislature will be very high. So sir it is not a feasible idea as of now sir. And we can promote decentralization and inclusive development through some other methods like promoting urban local bodies and rural local bodies and also smart cities across the state sir. So this is what I think about this. Okay good tell you what is the rule of a reserve bank? Some people say reserve bank should be privatized. What is the rule of a reserve bank? Reserve bank should government have any control on that? Yes sir. Reserve bank it aims to promote the price stability in our country sir. And also it deals with various open market operations. It helps government especially in the times of financial crunch. And also sir it aims for the monetary policy transmission for the consumer benefit sir. So these are some major measures that reserve bank of India takes sir. So it should be given more autonomy even say appointment of a governor. Why not advertise call for applications and then appoint? Sir it should have a certain amount of autonomy sir. But at the same time sir the elected representatives are the ultimate responsibility for the people. So it should act on the basis of the government interest also sir. So there is a need for certain amount of control on the RBI also. But the autonomy with respect to its functioning objectively there should be some autonomy in my opinion. Now off late one can see some sort of lateral entry in government service. What do you think of it? At the joint sector level they are taking people you know. Maybe at other levels also perhaps it might come through. What is your personal opinion? Do you think it's a good thing? So personally I think sir it is a very good step. It improves the domain expertise into our administration. If someone is doing good in the corporate sector sir it brings that expertise. And also sir it boosts the morale of the working bureaucrats or the government servants. To act in a more productive manner and in efficient manner sir. So the computation will be there. They have to level up their skills to act at the level of the lateral entrance. But the point is private sector is very different from government sector. Your hierarchy and so many other factors are there you know. While private sector is different they want results. That's it more than hierarchy or desire. So you think they will be able to fit in and it will not create any problem? So we are not completely going for the lateral entry sir. There are only 10 to 20 posts being recruited. Sir I think the corporate sector view or the outsider view will also be inducted into our decision making sir if we have lateral entrance. As of now sir if we think from the government perspective it will be only one sided. If we can induct some corporate entrance or the lateral entrance into the administration sir. The outsider perspective will also be there. You have opted for foreign service also? Yes sir it is my third option sir. Okay now even at the ambassador level people are appointed. I mean not necessarily from the service. So you think it's a good idea? Yes sir be it anywhere in the administration sir a lateral entrance adds value to the working nature. They will bring expertise sir. If they are good at something sir I think we cannot utilize their potential there. Last question name one eminent politician living in Andhra Pradesh. Now Andhra Pradesh. Prominent Indian politician. At least one name. Sir a living person sir. Living or dead? Living or dead and the past? Sir PV Narasimha Rao. He is part of earlier Andhra Pradesh sir but now the state went into Telangana sir. I am not exactly aware of the state sir. You don't know that. Thank you.
