 Yes sir, it is in Lucknow, although sir we just finished our foundation course and now we are able to do that. You think Makin India program is visible in the railways? Yes sir. Can you give some evidence? Yes sir. Two in particular sir, one is the locus. We have a joint venture in the railways, joint venture with Alstom and GE for two loco plants, for GE for diesel plants, diesel plant and with Alstom for electric engine plant. So that is one. One is the Vande Bharat Express or Trinity and that has been indigenously developed, that is a trail set and it is entirely new technology for India. So two by I think. Conversion of a diesel to loco to electric, that also is some kind of an achievement. So it is an incremental achievement, but still such incremental improvements are up to big improvements in London. So where is this as Tom planned? So one is in Mathepura and the other is in Mahabharava, but I am not sure which one is. Yes. Good. Mr. Dubey, you want to climb Mount Everest? Yes. When I wish you all the very best. Thank you sir. Have you heard of a man called Sonam Bangal? I don't know. I don't know. I think I remember. I think you climbed Mount Everest from the Indian side and who was Bachindari Paal? The first woman to climb Mount Everest. Now taking off from your aspiration to climb Mount Everest, the government has a scheme of aspiration this week. Yes. What is the scheme? It is a scheme to transform the basic infrastructure and social infrastructure, particularly health, education and roads and other infrastructure in 15 most backward districts of India. These districts have been selected based upon a composite infrastructure index and at least one district from each state has been included. The aim is to, it aims at the convergence of different programs. It fixes responsibility and accountability through the library officers and it focuses on the saturation approach in those districts. Now out of these 150, 35 have been designated as LWE affected districts. How many of these LWE affected districts are there in Jharkhand? Sir, I am not entirely sure, but 19 LWE affected districts are there. Tell me something about this LWE, why is it that it is continuing after almost over 50 years and it first started? How is it that it is able to sustain itself? Sir, although the LWE incidents in Jharkhand in particular have reduced, I think the main reason is that the improvement in social and economic indicators are slow and above in progress. So there are always and in Jharkhand particularly there are some pockets in which the development is slow and in such pockets LWE elements are able to exploit some sort of resentment against the establishment to their benefits. So are there any special initiatives which have been taken by the Jharkhand government in this respect? Sir, in collaboration with the central government it has many schemes, for example the SRE. That is going on for quite some time. Sir, the road requirement plan was there, but sir I see and based upon my personal visit to my native places in Jharkhand, a huge thrust on predominantly Gram Sarajevo. So Jharkhand is actually constructing around 2500 kilometres of roads. Even in the Naxal affected areas? Yes. Are they being allowed because in the past in Naxal were attacked the teams that should go into that area? In fact, yes. In fact, for example, I came from Palamu which used to be a huge Naxal infested. And there sir, the Gram Sarajevo class and it has actually brought positive change in the social environment. Because once connectivity is there, the biggest problem is that in most of these areas there is no connectivity at all. Now have you heard of extradition? Yes. What is extradition? Extradition is the physical repatriation of a person to his country of homicide or in the homicide. Right. Now we have several cases, I mean from the UK, from the UAE. Can you recall any persons who have been brought from UAE recently? In the Augusta-Westland case? Yes sir. Yeah sure. It's a Christian Michelle. Christian Michelle is one of them. And the other is a person called Rajiv Saxena. He was in the news very recently. Did you read over it? Yeah. Basically he says that he wants to turn approval. And he is slated to go before the United States court I think probably day after or something. There is this regional connectivity scheme of the government. Yes sir. All around. Can you tell me something? How does it work? Yes sir. So, sir, India has a peculiar problem where in such big metros are very well connected by flights. Whereas small and non-biological airfields are not. Udaan is an initiative to connect those partner airfields to bigger cities through a central viability air funding. So, that is one component sir. And the key component is the splitting. Various airlines wait for VGF from home on that particular route. Half of the seats in those flights are capped 25 minutes per hour of flying. And rest the airlines are allowed to set market price. Okay. Thank you. It's a good way. You are here now. Yes sir. I'll ask you one question. The dynasty has been talking about a new India. Yes sir. There is vision for a new India. This will be your probation and you will be the builder of this new India and we will be including his vision. Now, if you ask me, then I can ask you. Suppose what is my vision for the new India? I will say three things and I'll justify each one of them. One is no alcohol. Ginger jargon beer is no alcohol. No non-vegetarian food. And third is no corruption. If you ask me, what is your, what kind of India, three things that you would like me in India to have, which is dramatically different from what it has been so far? Sir, may I take a few moments? Yeah. Sir, the first would be, sir, educated and skilled India. Second is healthy and long-living India. And third is, sir, progressive India, sir, social as in getting rid of all the mass and all the conservatism that is counterproductive. What is healthy India? How do you implement it? Sir, the vision is, sir, everyone, it's the vision of everyone having an assured access to quality health infrastructure in his vicinity. Sir, Ayushman Bharat and Health Coral is one step in that direction. Sir, it particularly hinges on access to sub-centers in the laboratory that have good practitioners available that, for example... Would you like to introduce yoga in each school as a comprehensive subject? Yes. Now, coming to educated India, what is the new thing that you would like to do? Sir, extensive use of ICT in learning and immersive learning, sir, so that, so as to arise the interest of children, getting them hooked onto the subjects being taught. Would you ban mobile in India? In the schools, to all schools in India? Right. During classroom hours, sir? Yes. But otherwise, at the home? No, sir. Not often. Otherwise, in the school premises, no mobile. Yes, sir. I think it's a fair restriction, sir. Anyway, think of it. You know, you may have found this kind of question. Now, look at the new India. Central public sector undertakings. We have been building in the old India. How many are there? Yes, sir. Sorry, sir. Exact number. I'm not able to read all. Sir, on to operating year 250. Now, what is, what role that CPSC would play in the new India? We have been building, right? Yes. 60 years. Now they are 250 odd numbers. Would you like all of them to be dismantled? Are you going to build more? Sir, build more if needed. Sir, the existing ones, improving their efficiency, sir. It should not be that they are a drain of public money and taxpayers' money is going on indefinitely and funding sick and unviable PSUs. In such cases, I would actually suggest closing them down or reviving them. Otherwise, those who are profit-making and making healthy profits, expanding them further, sir. Would you like to have a hospital under the public sector? Yes, sir. If it is providing good level of service, if it is catering to poor people and providing good quality healthcare, then yes, sir. Okay. Now, coming back from New India to Old India. There's some scheme called crop incidence scheme. Yes, sir. PM has announced it in 2016. Can you say a few things on that? Yes, sir. Sir, the scheme is called Pradhan Mantri Pasambilmayur. The aim is to increase the penetration of agricultural insurance from about 25% in 2016 to 50% in three years. And the new things in that scheme versus the older scheme is it covers a wide range of new, for example, natural disasters and farm inundation and post-harvest damage. So that is one. Secondly, sir, the premiums are fixed. Premiums payable by the farmers are fixed. For rubbing crops, 1.5%, the rest is born by the... Only 2%. Only 2%. Thanks, sir. The rest will be born by the central government. It is being implemented by various state-run general insurance companies. But one critical element in that is the use of technology. Yes. Extensive use of technology, sir. Yeah, drone technology and also remote sensing data. For what? For example, sir, for assessment of damage for instance. Yes. And for making the payment of the damages faster for the farmer. Do you think it is possible to have an accurate assessment of the damage with this technology? Sir, while having an accurate assessment may not be possible, sir. Even based on rough estimate, good extractions or initial payment could be released and final payment could be done based upon the actual ground level assessment by surveyors. That also helps the farmers a lot. Especially when, sir, many checks that have been dispersed are less than 100 rupees and so, mainly because the assessment was not done. Okay. Tell me how... When will you get the data about beggars in the country? How many beggars are there in Jharkhand? Sir, about Jharkhand, I am not sure. But I remember, sir, reading about 10 lakhs in the cold country. But, sir, I am not certain. In the 12th land of India. And how many senior citizens are there? Yes, sir. Sir, about 11 percent of the population, that is about 15 percent. But, what you mean is your hobby? Yes, sir. You just said that sparrow sightings have become very rare, especially in Indian cities. Why is that so? No, one is the increasing unplanned construction and concrete temples. There are very little green spaces for them. No, it's not green spaces because sparrows build in buildings. So, you know those Jharokas are more there, a way to do that. Yes, sir. All right. And the bullet train is going to take away from the Thanik week. Yes, sir. So, even there the land for the flamingoes is being taken away. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What I recall, because a portion of the craft passing through the Thanik, the flamingoes and Jharkhand, would be under water, man. Some ocean might be on land. But, man, in such cases, railways should ensure that the deforestation should be minimum. For example, man through elevated corridors imposed above the canopy. Now, swimming is also your hobby. Why is it that we don't have any swimmers on the international level? First and foremost, man, the absence of good quality infrastructure. In some metro and other cities, there are many goods, man. But, as we go down through here to three cities, and as you check what is the infrastructure, it is not present. Secondly, when I am asking the person who pointed out, there is a critical growth of role models in swimming. So, for example, he says that cricket has many role models, and now it is suddenly picking up. But, swimming lacks. The person has lots of sponsors, not just the role models. All right. Now, you are from Jharkhand. Jharkhand is very rich in resources, but poor in administration. Why is that so? Development is very poor. Yes. One reason has been the political instability and discontinuity policies, man. But, now that Jharkhand has a stable government, we do see sides of good pickup in development. For example, if I would say, in the instance, between NFHS-3 and NFHS-4 in those 10 years, 2006 to 2016, the women's literacy has improved by 21 percentage points. Man, in fact, the IMR improved for Jharkhand is now better than the national average. For the national average, Jharkhand is better. So, there are definitely, as I pointed out, grants like Jharkhand is making lives better for people at the grassroot. And these are a few instances. So, I mean, finally, we are seeing the fruits of the development, although we have a lot to do. So, you think it was a good move to buy potato state of Jharkhand? For Jharkhand, yes. Jharkhand looks good. Now, tell me something about the rate-based. The operating cost of the rate-based is very, very high. Yes. Of rating ratio, something like 4 and 9 ratio. So, why doesn't the rate-based monetize their land? Well, in fact, it's a very good suggestion. And, for example, the rate-based product committee and NKVPC also noted this. Now, Railway has a body of rate called Rail Land Development Authority, RLA, that has been implemented to at least develop the lands and increase the revenue flow from them. Hypergram, yes, it has been very slow. A part of it should be monetized through sale or lease, and second through redevelopment. So, the Mumbai Railway Land, which is available, that has been given for one week reconstruction? Yes. Okay. Now, tell me, do you think Railway should be credit-based? No, not in entirety, but some portions. Like what portions? Now, for example, what the rate-based development committee suggested, Railway becomes a credit-based company. So, maybe the core functions and? And we also become one of the clean operators, and clean operations being also open to our private sector. So, that way, it increases the competition, it makes an addition of revenues, and customers also will be championed with it. You mean the traffic services? Yes, ma'am. So, what are the main causes of accidents in the lead case? Ma'am, as the wonderful Railway minister recently pointed out, 60% are due to track failures. Track failures. Track failures. Other causes being unrandom crossing. But now, we have recently... We said that there will be no more line, except in the narrow range. So, in the broad range network, we have said, entirely eliminated. So, that will also... Secondly, ma'am, also the negligence of the customers, for instance, particularly in Mumbai locals. Although, ma'am, the available infrastructure there is not enough to carry the entire passenger. And, ma'am, accidents on the railway crossings due to negligence of the driver. Can you talk something about Railway 18? One day, please. Now, is it the same technology used in the Bombay? No, ma'am. It's broadly used. So, why are we calling it the new sustainability? It's not the new sustainability. The train set, while similar to the EMU, it has entirely different performance characteristics. EMUs are designed for different 1-2-kilometre stops, fast acceleration and deceleration. Railway 18 is designed for better college and better speeds. Basically, it's the same model as the same technology. Yes, ma'am. It's train sets are an improvement over the EMUs. Thank you. Mr. Dubey, you worked in the corner sector for about five years, more than every moment I guess. The last time, then also, I think, in one of the corporate sector. And, you are in ME finance, right? So, can you talk about the biggest problem in the current sector? Sir, the problem... Sir, actually, dual balance sheet problems. First, balance sheets are stressed and non-performing assets are increasing due to which the ending capacity is going down, due to which corporate balance sheets are also starved of capital. Yes, sir. Have you seen many difference? Yes, sir. Not to the extent we would have to see, but, sir, as again pointed out in the budget speak, as the other member of the finance minister mentioned, there are three backwards of investments, either having resolved or resolved in one way or another. Yes, sir. If you realize that the process is very slow and, I think, a lot of mitigations. Every second day, I think you come across some new mitigations in this. Sir, there are various strategies. First, it's a force, sir, so it's a compendium of various laws, and we are still in the process of fine-tuning implementation machinery. At the same time, sir, as the RxPdence with the old bankruptcy and immigration process includes, definitely, sir, there would be an improvement in the turnaround time process basis. A lot of cases are coming to the economic crisis, ICC events, PNB. What are your take on that? Is it the reasons? The reasons, yes. They are in the private sector. Yes. Sir, a major reason is a lack of proper checks and balances, like evolution of powers to subordinates without having accountability for something PNB-based. Corporate governance? Yes, at a broad level, it is a failure of corporate governance, set up in those corporations. Has anything been done to strengthen corporate governance in this country? Yes. There are no companies, I mean, companies, sir. Also, sir, recently, the Adi Kodrej panel and the Kodrej panel, upon it, I said we do. Which of the critical areas in corporate governance, according to you, we have some difficulties? For example, the voice of minority shareholders, and that leads to, sir, independent directors not being actually independent, in the sense. Insider trading also, I think, very recently, I was reading it in the newspaper. Sir, it is also working? Sir, it is also working. Yes. And somebody who is never here in the corporate sector, who has chance with insider trading, and she has to pay penalty, some of them, he and some of them. He paid penalty of 10 lakhs for insider trading. He imposed it, sir. Okay. Here comes Hartan. First, he's coming for a lot of criticism, the implementation. What is your take on? Sir, yes, as the... the... ...that has been pointed out earlier, presently, Hartan for instance, the grant of individual title, in Palama, for the rest of the decade, it is as high as 90%. So that is actually a good number versus what in India average is less than 20%. So yes, individual titles, chapter particularly has done well. So community titles as we pointed out are slow to be given to the private communities. Oh sir, last question. What are the very important summits meeting in Hanoi? Sir, the aim was to extract some commitment from North Korea about re-improvisation. Although such a commitment could not be extracted and we could not decide. What was it that North Korea was looking for? They wanted US to... Sir, one more positive thing that they actually managed to get is that US has committed that it would be going out of state with South Korea. Although sir, it was looking for security guarantees and I mean a broader integration than we were going before it proceeds on the internet. OIC. What was it in the news? Sir, the honorable National Affairs Minister addressed the summit of the OIC as a special invite and raised India's rights and services between... Did you just agree with the development? Yes sir. What is the height of Limanjaro? Sir, 5,895 meters. More than 15,000 feet. So, are you mountaineer? Not in the true sense sir, but trekker and all myself. That would be able to go to that height. You must have some practice and training. Sir, I did some preparation rights including sir, 100 kilometers, trekking, Sikkim, Westman, all the way to the region. But some mountaineer in the true sense, then I am able to climb on their best. Then you have done trekking in Westman hearts and Malayas helps. Which one was the most involved? Malayas. Malayas. Why? Sir, the variety of landscapes. For example, recently sir, I did one Indrahaar past. Now, when we start it is dense jungles around the road bench. As we go by its barren, tropical dense, finally sir, as we have gone the past, there are no vegetation, it's rocks and boulders and finally there is snow at the summit. So, within a span of 3 days and while gaining around 2500 meters, one sees a lot of diversity in landscape and vegetation. Now, I am giving you an idea. DFCs are being created and land is being acquired for them. Most of the land has been acquired. The plan is that by 2020 they should both DFCs should be complete. Plenty of land must have been acquired on both sides. After all it will be double tracks. Sir, one portion of the eastern DFC that would be a single track. That is between Lothiana and Kojava. But western is a double track. Now, instead of making this bullet train from Bombay to Angawa, why couldn't we acquire more land and run a bullet train on the western corridor? Sir, it's a land and you run it. Why couldn't we do that? It's a parallel to the DFC. Yeah, parallel to not on the DFC. Sir, in fact, acquire more land when you are acquiring so much. And that could be a more sensible thing. Long distance instead of this three hour journey. Sir, in fact it's a good idea. Sir, only day before yesterday it was in news that nine more bullet train vehicles have been identified. One of them being Angawa detail. Yes, sir, it should be done. Secondly, sir, Angawa to Mumbai is just a demonstrator of the idea. But that is successful, sir. It will have a cascading effect and we will be seeing more such high speeds. I doubt we don't have money. So big ideas mostly on paper. Sir, leveraging international finance to various multilateral bodies, given that it has a... Like once this is successful, it may be possible. And what about, say, in 10, 20 years India would be a level definition. We would have internal resources. Basic structure concept. Name some important basic features which cannot be changed. Sir, democratic quality, socialism, secularism, federalism. Structure, separation of powers. Independence of the nation. These are the improvements. These are all minor things. Now, our constitution is supposed to be rigid and flexible as far as the movement is concerned. Where does the rigidity come from? Rigidity comes from those amendments which affect the federal quality and limited provisions. There's an approval by both the houses of parliament, by a special majority, and a concurrence of a majority of states in the United States. Any other source of rigidity? It's not given in the constitution. Basic structure concept provides it. I'll take it to an even of the constitution. Meaning was qualitatively changed after the Menka-Gali judgment. And due process of law concept. Can you define what is the due process of law? So in due process, not only should the laws should be procedurally correct, but also, sir, they could be just of their intents that they should not. Quality, sir, I'm mixing. The emphasis on process, that means not only the law must be just unfair, but the process must also be just unfair. Which means it must follow principles by which a decision is made. What is the growth rate? Sir, last year, sir, funded out by the Economic Survey, last year it was 6.6%. In million terms, the projected in 18, 19 is 6.6%. Last year it was 4.6%. Sir, there is a bit of difference on this thing. Sir, there is one document from the Government of Punjab surprising that mentions 4.6%. But Economic Survey recommends 6.6%. No, sir, we have a few mistakes. That 17, 18 was 6.6%. Yes, sir. So we close the interview and I'll give you the feedback. You have performed well. Most of the questions you have been able to handle nicely. We feel the questioning will be based on it, primarily on the wire data. And therefore, you are from Jharkhand. This is one area which evokes some questions. There have been some allegations of starvation deaths. PDA system, not worth the analysis. It's possible some questions. Then you've been asked about respiration mistakes. What is the progress? Then left-wing extremism. These are all really good. Then management, another area. Your extracurricular activities are very impressive on which you should respect questions. Electrical, we haven't asked. But India's power generation. Various schemes like rural electrification, sub-hacke scheme. How they are going. These are some areas which we feel are. And lastly, two more things. One is the railways. Second would be constitution principles and important judgments of Supreme Court. And then current activities. These are some of them. You were asked a question about crop insurance. Now it's not only the government insurance companies, but also private. And for instance, reliance. And reliance has come to adverse notice in Maharashtra. In two, three districts like Burkhani. They are not paying the crooks. So Hassan Bima is not really working well. You know, those are the crooks, which are. They just don't pay. And Hassan says so. But what are the regions? So these are the areas where you can continue to study. Otherwise you will do something. But you will get outside. That's the best. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe to our channel.
