 So, why this format for civil service? Sir, I want to join the civil services because I want to work for my nation. That's my main objective. You want to? Work for my nation. I want to serve the people. You want to serve? Public service is important. And anything else? Anything. Sir, I feel civil services is a great career in itself. It may give you a good career. Two things. What qualities do you possess? Sir, I am a hardworking person. So that's one. I am also very honest. Good. And I think whatever job is given to me, I take it up with utmost responsibility. So, these are the three things which I possess. So, when you mention these things, don't say I am very honest. Just mention I have qualities like honesty. Just say this. Otherwise, I am very honest, you know. Don't use such anything. Say, I have these qualities. I am a hardworking person. I have honesty. Then, intelligence, professional confidence. I believe in rule of law. And I am willing to lead from the front. Do you understand the meaning of it? Yes, sir. That you handle crisis. You are willing to handle crisis. Mr. Gowal. Yes, sir. You know, the meeting was held in China recently on the issue of NSG. And once again, China opposed India's entry into the NSG. Why is that? Sir, it's because India hasn't ratified the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. That's why it's blocking it. That is the only reason? Sir, also because China sees India as its rival. So, it wants to thwart it. Okay. Now, with China, we have been having some problems on various other issues also. What can you tell me about the CPAC and why we are opposed to it? And what is the strategic importance of it for China? Sir, firstly, the CPAC, that is the China Park Economic Order. It is a part of China's Belt and Road Initiative. India has objected to it because it passes through Park-occupied Kashmir, which India considers to be a part of its territory. And since China hasn't actually asked India for permission to build the CPAC to be open, that's why India is opposed to it. Okay, that's right. Then what is the strategic significance for China? Sir, the strategic significance is that it links China to the Guadeloupe in Pakistan, which will serve as an outlet to the Indian Ocean. That's the main strategic importance. So, how do the Chinese not have access to the Indian Ocean now? Sir, they have a strategy called the stream of ports. By using a number of ports in the Indian Ocean, they want to insert the Indian Ocean. No, that's true. That's alright. What I'm asking you is that you mentioned that through Guadel, they get access to the Indian Ocean. Yes, sir. Does China have access to the Indian Ocean now or not? Sir, it does have it. How? Sir, but it's just a way to establish more power over the Indian Ocean. You're right. But what is the route which they have now to the Indian Ocean? Before Guadel. Sir, they have a port in Hambandotai as well, in Sri Lanka. Sir, then in Jitoti also. You are not the answer what I'm asking you. If a Chinese ship has to come into the Indian Ocean, how would it come? Through the South China seas? From the eastern coast through the South China seas? Through the states of Melaka? Then the Indian Ocean. Sir, but it's a lengthy route. That's what I'm asking you. That is the basic reason. That route is a huge route. And this now, Guadel from Xinjiang to Guadel, it is a much shorter route. That is the significance of that route. Now, we reacted very, very strongly when the Doklam incident took place. What was the reason for that? Sir, the Doklam region is a tri-junction at the India-China-Bhutan border. Sir, India reacted strongly to it because it's near the chicken neck corner. That's the issue. Correct. Now, you know, Kulbhushan Jadav, we went to the International Court of Justice. Why did we have to do that? Sir, because he wasn't getting consular access. That's the only reason? Sir, it's also sort of a mutual fight between India and Pakistan. Okay, that too. I'll give you that. But the point is that, you see, they did not give us consular access. That is correct. But the other issue was that, you know, they had a semblance of a trial and they had sentenced him to death. Yes, sir. So, it is because of his sentencing to death that India had to go to the ICJ to prevent that. So, what is happening there? Sir, he's still in Pakistan. No, what happened in the ICJ? Sir, they overturned the death sentence. And? Sir, I'm not aware what the decision they gave, but his action… But still pending. You're right. The ICJ is to take a final decision sometimes in February. I mean, that's what they have announced. But let's see what happens. What are electoral bonds? Sir, electoral bonds are a bond instrument which will be used by political parties to raise money for the election. Okay. So, it was introduced… No, that's all right. But tell me, is there any criteria laid down for a political party to be elected? Sir, he was a vote share for it. If I recall correctly, it was 1% for the votes. Correct. Sir, I… That's all right. 1% recognized political party. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Aditya. Yes, sir. Your second preference is IRS IT. Yes, sir. Okay. Tell me, after demonetization, whether there have been any improvement in the tax collection, direct tax collection? Sir, I'm not aware of the particular impact of demonetization, but the current direct tax-to-GDP ratio is around 6%. No, I just want to know whether the tax base has widened? Sir, it has widened, but I'm not aware of the exact numbers. You should know. Your preference is IRS IT. Yes, sir. And government is claiming it as one of the successes. Success? Yes, sir. After about 1 crore increase in the tax base. Okay. GST. Yes, sir. What is the GST collection? Sir. If you have been reading newspaper, then the January 1st collection, the government is saying something? Sir, they are saying that it has exceeded 1 lakh crore. Okay. Is GST an improvement over the previous taxes? Yes, sir. So, because it subsumes in lot of indirect taxes. So, that's first. And number two is that it reduces the casketing of taxes. Okay. Now, let me come to something else. This is India, our country, an inclusive country. Sir, a binary answer at CES. Sir, if I have to give an answer in binary terms at CES, though some concerns are... No, you have to be very clear about what you say. Influential has a meaning. Is India an inclusive country? Yes, sir. India is an inclusive country. How do you say so? Sir, there are a number of constitutional safeguards. No, no, constitutional safeguards are different things. You see, whether the society is divided on some lines or varieties, we are all one. Sir, the instances of division which you see in the society, I feel they are just a populist tool which is used by politicians. Be very clear. See, society is divided on many lines, caste, class, religion. Diversity is our very nature. Yes, sir. But there is unity in diversity. Then if I ask you, what are the unifying features, you may say, constitution and other means. Yes, sir. Otherwise it is. But I tell you, some financial influence on measures. Sir, we have been... How many accounts have been opened? Sir, you are not reading that. You are not reading that report. See, your interview is there on 20th February. And government has been publishing it. You know, it has come in newspaper so many times. How it is? More than 32 crores. Oh, one of the major success so soon. Okay. What else? Sir, then you have been... Yes, then? Sir, then you have stand-up in DFO, STs and... So, tell me, what is the difference between the start-up India and stand-up India? Sir, stand-up India is mainly focused on women and transgender people. Yes, yes. Sir, in the start-up India is an umbrella scheme which is focusing on the entire start-up ecosystem. That's the major difference. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, sir. You asked for your choices as ideas, ideas and then dynamics. Yes, ma'am. But dynamics is... Actually, I have changed my preferences since the last time I came here. Okay. But why especially dynamics? Because it's an administrative service and I won't be doing an administrative service within anything else. And it also gives me an opportunity to stay in Delhi. But that means if you get posted outside of Delhi, you won't take the job. That's not the case. It's just one of my preferences. Okay, good. Now, since you're from Delhi... Yes, ma'am. The bridge, you are aware of the bridge. It's considered one of the green lungs of Delhi. Yes, ma'am. But the green lung of Delhi is getting depleted both in terms of Florida and Ghana. Yes. What are your views on this? Now, I think the major reason behind the degradation of the bridge is unplanned urbanization. Delhi is going at a rapid pace. Yes. And besides deforestation, it's going to make room for industry. Yes. These are the major reasons. And besides, we also have the nuclear pollution. They've cut across the bridge to meet the roads. Yes, ma'am. That's also causing a problem. Yes, ma'am. Now, you've done computer engineering. From this, I am reminded of the term Cryptocurrency. Yes, ma'am. What does that mean? Cryptocurrency is a form of... It is a digital currency, which is, say, Bitcoin. Bitcoin. What is Bitcoin? Then Bitcoin... It is a cryptocurrency which works on the blockchain technology. What is blockchain technology? Blockchain is a distributed ledger system. Yes. Which is used to verify transactions by using a number of decentralized users. Yes. So are Bitcoins legal in India? No, ma'am. In the last bit, the formidable finance minister said that India doesn't consider cryptocurrencies as legal. Okay. Because one keeps hearing of all these channels and donations to those funds. Now, artificial intelligence. What does the term mean? Artificial intelligence means simulating man-like intelligence in machines. And, say, for instance, you give a photograph... See, you give a photograph of a cat to a computer and then it should be able to tell you whether it's a cat or a computer. Okay. So what are robots? Robots... So they... Ma'am, they are machines which are used to automate certain tasks. And they also make use of artificial intelligence. So, is there a difference between robots and drones? Ma'am, drones specifically refer to a class of robots which are aerial intelligence. Yes. So what are the advantages of using drones? And drones can be used to navigate terrain which is difficult to see. For serving, for this is also... And then, for instance, we had a mining disaster in Nicaragua. Yes. So we were also using drones to rescue people. And then they have also been used by Amazon in the US for delivering goods. Thank you. So drones can also be used for spraying water for production which has just been used in Thailand. Okay. So do you think all these technologies such as artificial intelligence, the robots, the drones, they will make a job space in India? I think they will... they will displace the unscathed labor force. And in turn, they will create the most skilled jobs. They will create the most skilled jobs. You also worked with Amazon. Yes, ma'am. So lately, there were some directives regarding Amazon. What happened? Now, we, the DIPP issued a checklist in that a new vendor in an e-commerce marketplace entity can't sell on that marketplace. And number two, it said that an inventory of a vendor would be equally controlled by an e-commerce company if it sells more than 25% of its sales through that entity. And then it can't carry out e-commerce transactions through that entity. And besides, it has also told e-commerce entities to maintain level of pain through the 25% vendors. Which also means that if I order something to take my cake up to a week to get delivered, normally it would get delivered in 2-3 days. Is that correct? I mean, I think it will impact delivery times. It can impact discounts but not delivery times. Because that is the logistical problem. All right. Thank you. Thank you, ma'am. Mr. Goyal. Here a lot of details about the mechanism. What is this concept? Sir, I have not heard of the term. Corporate department? Sir, I have heard. Okay, tell me. Corporate, if federalism means the different federal minutes of the country, that is the states and the central government, they must cooperate in working with... But what is the mechanism for entering this corporate division works? Sir, there is a GST concept. So, that is one instance of corporate federalism. So, there are also various interstate councils, zonal councils. So, these are the key mechanisms. DTIO? Yes, sir. Do you think that the all India services can also play an important role in corporate federalism? Hardly because of corporate department. Yes, sir, because the offices from all India services are in different states. So, they can come together and coordinate the issues which are in the respective states and work with the center. What is the size of idea? GDP. So, it is in terms of billion years, billion dollars. So, it is around two trillion years, probably. More than that. And where is India pressed in the hierarchy of zero to six? Six. And we are left to go yes, sir. So, we have mainly provided UK to become the fifth largest company in the world. What are the major sectors that go into GDP problems? So, we have the agriculture sector, that is number one. So, number two is the industry. Number three is the sources sector. Can you tell what percentage is contributed by each sector? Sir, the agriculture sector contribution is around 15 percent. Industry is 28. So, in the that is 57 percent is services. Over the years, it has also changed. Yes, sir. Sir, what has happened is the contribution of manufacturing is large and the contribution of agriculture in GDP has been overtaken by services sector. Okay. Two, three days back the unit budget was preserved, right? Can you mention two or three innovative of the first areas of the budget? Sir, first is agriculture. So, there is a new stream by the name of PM Kisan. PM Kisan Samadidi which will give a direct cash transfer. Sir, first mention these two or three. PM Kisan. So, then we have your pension for an organic sector worker as well. So, then three is income tax which one you consider from the other point of view more phenomenal and even the charge you would like to support this. Sir, I would say PM Kisan. Why do you think so? Sir, I think it's a step in the right direction. The universal basic income has been noted by a number of economists as a future step to reduce agrarian distress and I think in the future we can also deal with the unproductive subsidies and that amount can go into this. It is based on GDP. Yes, sir. So, I think there won't be liturgies to that extent. Thank you. Thank you, sir. You have got some top honors in your school in maths and chemistry. Is that correct? Yes, sir. So, name some top Indian mathematicians. Sir, Raman Mujer would be one. Askaracharya Aryabhad. So, what was Aryabhad's contribution? Sir, he's credited for the invention of zero. Zero. Aryabhad is credited with zero. Subway Indians, though it's not debated. Is there a Nobel Prize for maths? No, sir. There's a Fields Medal. Fields Medal. Also some Abel, IPA. In chemistry also you did. So, what's the Nobel Prize winners in 2018? Sir, it didn't happen because of the news. Subway was related to synthesis of enzymes. Yes, sir. Now, LG and Delhi government. Yes, sir. There's a constitutional scheme under the constitution provision. What is that provision? Article? In 3988. So, Supreme Court gave some judgment last year about it. There was a lot of controversy. K.G. Walgerman was making a lot of protests that LG was overriding their powers. Yes, sir. What was Supreme Court's verdict finally? Very in two, three sentences. So, the Supreme Court verdict was that the LG couldn't refer every matter to the president. So, in the second point was that the representative government of Delhi doesn't need to put forth every decision before the LG for the purposes of deliberation. So, those were the two main points out of this. And which areas are exclusively the domain of LG? Sir, there are three areas that public order and policy. It's good. Then, last year Delhi government brought out a budget and they were making a lot of publicity about it. That they have allocated substantial percentage of GDP to health and education. How much have they allocated? Sir, in education it's around 19 percent. And health is around 14 percent. 14 percent. Now, one year, almost one year has passed. Do you find any improvement in these two areas? Sir, in health we have Mahalaya Phoenix which are being set up. Sir, in education I have seen various news reports which have highlighted that the infrastructure in government schools has improved. So, these are some of the ways in which the expenditure is paying for the updates. What is really a solar mission? Sir, it seeks to generate 75 gigawatt of solar energy by 2022. Sir, 100. Yes, sir. Total 175. 100 by solar, 75 by other like biomass and wind power. How much have we achieved so far? How much are we producing? Sir, I am not aware of the exact figure. But I knew that the solar was 24 or 25 gigawatt. Now, you play, you watch football. Yes, sir. Most people watch cricket. Why do you watch football and not cricket? Sir, I think football is highly competitive. I see. So, you just have taken... So, what are your new champions? Sir, France. France? 2018 FIFA World Cup. Where is Croatia? Where is Croatia? Sir, it is in Europe. Where in Europe? Sir, it is towards southeast. Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe. Alright. We close the interview here. Thank you, sir. You have improved quite a lot. I am very happy to inform you. Now, I would suggest you know we gave you the guidelines last time. The same guideline went through today. Except that some new developments have taken place for instance the budget. Yes, sir. Now, some questions were asked on budget like GST, income tax, etc. You were not able to say. My suggestion to you would be that you prepare yourself. I will say you take two papers of 2nd of February. One Indian Express, one Economic Times. See, in one place you have got all this GDP ratio. How much the income tax has increased and small things. And don't forget, these are very small things. As you were told for almost 6 crores last year it was 5.57. Now it is 5.98. Those are the number of tax payers we see. So take a look at all this and this will help you a lot. Yes, sir. Look at the constitutional issues on this. Where are you from? Delhi. There are other problems in Delhi. There is a law in order. There is protection and other things. You need to see these things. Please read it. I am sure you will do it. Sir, you say sometimes questions are asked from facts. Because you don't know. Look, you have so much time. If you don't know, then you don't know. But you still have time. I can't read it. Sir, what do you do in that case? Do you smoke? No, I would say you say I am sorry. I am sorry. I can only make a guess. I am sorry, I can make a guess. But I don't have seen it. Go to the facts. So then we will ask for something more. Yes. Okay. Thank you sir. Thank you. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe to our channel. And press the bell icon to never miss an update. Thank you.
