 So, Sumitji, why do you wish to join the civil service? So, for me, civil services is a very prestigious and respected job. And it is one job which gives me unlimited opportunities to serve, to do various jobs and also doing the process to discover my proof of protection. Right. So, what qualities will you bring to this job? So, personality traits, collective qualities. So, civil services, I will bring the qualities of integrity, honesty, hard work and because of my work experience, I will know how to work in a team and commitment towards schools. Good, very good. So, is this your first attempt? No sir, this is my fourth attempt. Okay. Now, Mr. Sumit, now in Assam, under the direction of the Supreme Court, the NRC is being updated, National Register of Citizens. What is the objective of this exercise? Something, National Register of Citizens is being updated to identify people who have come from Bangladesh to clearly identify who are the illegal migrants and based on that, we will take that decision and put it back to you. And whatever is to be done. Now, what is the cut-off here which has been fixed for this? Sir, can I take a guess? Yes. It is 1971. 1971, after Bangladesh was created primarily. And yes, it will identify those who are illegal immigrants and those who are the illegal immigrants. And the Supreme Court had given their directives on this also. Now, in Assam, they also have a problem of insurgency. Which group is it which is still important in this insurgency? Sir, ULFA and ULFA. Yeah, you are very correct. ULFA. Now, ULFA, what is the demand of the ULFA? What would be the motives? Borderline, they want a separate autonomous system. The demand for borderline territorial. They want a state. The territorial state is already there. Borderline rivals. And they want a state. So, now, you know, there is this demand for statehood which is coming up. Borderline reminding a state. In Darjeeling, there they have the Gurkha and they are reminding Gurkha land. So, do you think that it's a good idea to give them statehood? Sir, this demand presents a certain deficit in our system. So, just because they are demanding and they are giving statehood every demand, they are not going to solve the problem. And it will further create demands by various groups. And if we look at the history of how the states' demands are being fulfilled and whether they are delivering on those objectives or not. So, in my opinion, giving a statehood is not going to solve the problem. Rather, it should focus on the developmental aspect and then taking every one. Right. Now, the other issue which I'd like to ask you something about is that, are you aware of what is the AFSPA? Yes, sir. AFSPA is there in certain parts of Northeast and also in the valley in German-Krishni. So, what power does this AFSPA give to the young forces personally? Sir, AFSPA has been designed as a reassurance mechanism to our security forces who are working in extremely disturbed areas. So, under this AFSPA provision, our security forces have been given certain immunity from prosecution so that they can carry the work fearlessly and easily. Now, the Supreme Court has been looking into some cases of alleged false encounter in Manipura on the basis of a PI. And the Supreme Court has given certain directions on this. Are you aware of this? Yes, sir. Tell me something about that. Sir, Supreme Court has looked into the analysis where it has been said that armed forces have misused the power given under AFSPA and it has said that it cannot be tolerated. Those incidents where the power is having misuse, it should be properly investigated and actions should be taken. But it did not recommend that AFSPA should be upon a screening like that. No, that is not true. And whom have they asked? Who should investigate these cases? Are you aware of that? No, sir. CBI. They have asked the CBI to look into this matter. Now, you know the Canadian Prime Minister of India. When he left, some kind of bad blood was created. When he went back to Canada, there was some reaction to that. What was this all about? Sir, the issue generated the way the Canadian Prime Minister was received in our country. So, a section of media has speculated that he has not received the kind of treatment. But tell me, when he left, a joint declaration was signed between the Prime Minister of India and the Prime Minister of Canada. What was that? Sir, I am not talking about that side. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Sumi, what kind of administration is your option? Tell me, what is the difference in the role of the manager and the performance administrator? Sir, a manager works at an operating level. His responsibility is to achieve certain objectives that have been decided by an admin state. Now, administrator can decide and define in terms of... That has been decided by an administrator. Manager means I am mostly referred to as a public sector, right? Those who are private sector. An administrator means I am mostly a public sector. Okay. So, you can talk administrative course. Okay. Now, okay. So, that's what I am trying to tell you. Administrator, this concept can be used in private sector as well as in public sector. Okay. For example, a district director can be called an administrator. But he has to also perform role of manager these days because there are resource currencies and resources. Okay. So, but... So, there is no difference. There is difference, right? In private sector, if I have to talk about an administrator of a company. So, he is working at a very top level. And his... My basic question is, I have given you the context also. Manager of a private sector, administrator of a public sector. What is the role difference? Sir, in that context, an administrator of a public sector is more or responsible for the general supervision and ensuring that particular policy is being implemented. For example, a district director has certain obligations, certain... What are the consequences? Obligations that a government, political executive makes policies and figures... Think over, think over. You are not going to be able to give a satisfactory answer on this. Okay. You are in Ken, India now. Yes, sir. What is the role of Ken in India? What is the kind of job they do? Sir, my role? No. Ken, India. India is a petroleum sector exploration and production company. It is working in opposite sectors, production of coal oil. Production of coal oil. Does it involve itself in any exploration inside India? Yes, sir. It has done exploration in Rajasthan field. It has also done exploration in certain coastal fields, like Tampere basin in the western coast, and Krishna-Glaring basin. Made some of the biggest refinements in India. Yes, sir. Jamnagar refinery of the lands is one of those. Does that also do domestic supply? Yes, sir. Jamnagar refinery does receive good production from within country also. I am not sure about the external supply. What is the ACJ if you know? Jamnagar refinery of the lands is an ACJ. It imports the coal and exports the refined product. Okay. This would know in petroleum sector. Okay. You have given second preference to IRS IT after IAS. And then you know way back, you know them much after IFS. Anyway, your preference is for income tax. Are you reading the newspaper regularly? Yes. Tell me, what is the total revenue collection in direct tax? Compared to last year, they have given in newspapers, there is reports. I cannot record. That means last three months, three reports are coming. End of December, end of January, end of February. What is the collection? So, there is increase or decrease? There is certainly increase, sir. Certainly increase. And economic survey also said that after the demonetization and IASK, both direct taxes and indirect taxes have increased. No, but you don't know the reduction? Okay. 20% increase till February end compared to previous year. Read the newspapers. Okay. You know about Udhan scheme? Yes, sir. What is the scheme? It is called Puri Deska Amnabrik. It is a government of India's project to connect, remote areas and provide air connectivity to those areas. What is the, you know? And there also, there will be air connectivity. So now they will connect to some more areas. So, tell me something more about the scheme. Sir, under the scheme, low cost airports will be set up. Low cost airports? I mean, they will not have facilities like international airports are having. Because in a small area like Jalandharu or maybe some other Darbantan, you will not have a big airport. But it is required for the people of this thing. But what is it? Main provision of the scheme, Udhan scheme, how they have made it more affordable? Udhan Deska Amnabrik. Sir, it is more affordable. Government has fixed a gap of 2500 rupees for one hour flight. How, you know, there is an airline who will fly. They will require money. So how the gap is to be made? Right now, exactly. Is there something called viability gap funding? You have heard about that? Yes, I have heard about that. Okay. Have you read something about Udhan International? No sir. I mean which has come up in the internet. Okay sir, thank you. You write points in English or Hindi? In both languages. If I ask you to recite four lines of a poem that you have written, will you be able to do it? Yes, ma'am. Next here, 24 lines. This poem I wrote when I was going for a bad phase is to motivate myself to write on this poem. It is called, Patikum main dik brahmit nahi. So it goes like this. Patikum main dik brahmit nahi. Chhari avkash main. Asthai vira main. Yeh jo chandal ame main. Isi nara antana samaj. Chandal ame. And dod kare chheritam. So you know, dod kare is co-past meter here. Good. Now you also help children, describe children, assist them in studies. What did you do with this? What class were these children from? Sir, these were, ma'am, these were children's living just behind our home. What classes were they from? These were from primary nursery to 6, 7, 8. Okay. All were mixed up. All right, all right. Now also you have given your card of preference as UP. But you were born in Bihar, you studied in Shadshan. So are you aware of the problems that you just faced? Yes, ma'am. Tell me something that about UP. Why do we see so much of Communionism? So many Communionist rights, protests. Why is that so? Ma'am, this has multiple reasons for that. First is the historical reasons. Earlier we used to have Communion harmony. But when the Unists came, they followed this divided good policy. There was Ganga-Emna harmony in UP, but that got disrupted in the historical times. Apart from that, we meant to say if you look at the social structure, that social structure, economic structure is overlapping. For example, the landlord, the land ownership is efficiency. So there is also going to be a class where the landlords are having to background but the workers, they are working, they are having to... So why do we see these criminal rights now? Never mind their dispute. These factors are there, but at the same time, at certain level, there are lexists in law and order management also. So what should we have to improve this trust between the two Communionist? Ma'am, improving trust between the Communionist is a long-term process. So on the long-term, we have to create this harmony for that, our civil society, our family, as well as the political activities all have to continue. But as a short-term reason, the attitudes have to be very stringent with these lexists and has to do with it. Now we have all these loan waivers in UP for the farmers. Do you think this was a good policy? Ma'am, this loan waiver was done as an immediate respite mechanism. But now every state is asking for a good waiver for its farmers, right? My opinion on loan waivers is that it should only be seen as an immediate respite and not as a long-term solution. If I can talk about this, it had for last two to three years, its agricultural growth rate is very negative. So it had an agrarian distress situation. So just to help farmers this decision was taken. But yes, of course, it cannot be a long-term solution. So what can be done to improve the lives of farmers? Suggest some steps. One, two, three, four. Any? Ma'am, first would be to provide better diminutive prices for their reproduced. But before they start producing unique water, unique electricity. That's what we need. Generation facilities, electricity. In the end, they will be able to produce good crops, give them good seeds, good fertilizers. That's what we have to do. It has to be very holistic. Of course, our government is also focusing on doubling the farmers' income. So this comprises all these factors. Reducing the input cost. Do you think it's very possible to deal with the farmers' income? Yes ma'am. There are certain challenges but we have to look at the alternate with like supplementing their input to alternates like aggregate, light, stove, farming and... But now, we've this plan. So what lifestyle? As we have goat, we have poultry, we have aqua culture. So please, give them control. All right. Now tell me what are some of the internal security problems which are currently facing? One is communism which we discussed. Anything else? The second is nationalism problem game. Insurgency, both in the north-east and in the emergency in the government personally. Journalism, money laundering. What are these problems? Okay. So tell me something about the health activity which you just mentioned. Which are the states which are affected by it? Ma'am, major states affecting from left-wing extremism are Chharkhand, Odisha, Chhaktisgarh, Yes. And Pradesh. Not so much, but anyway. And few states of Maharashtra also. A few districts of Maharashtra and? That's it. Kalingana? Not Pradesh. That's all. Thank you. So wait. Yes, sir. In 2016, government came out with insurgency and bankruptcy problem. Yes, sir. Must be aware of that. What is the significance of this problem? Why is it important? Sir, insurgency and bankruptcy problem provides some mechanism where those companies or those firms who have got bankrupt, they can easily liquidate it. So it is important for the government to get into the easily liquidated so it is a mechanism to facilitate easy exit of those companies which all the prices have in the corporate sector and all the business. Subsequently, there was amendments to the code also. To the original law. The implements some given problems that are not available. Recently, there were some policy changes about the business. What kind of changes were made? Sir, essentially the code sector has been nationalized so now commercial mining can take place. Sure, you said it is nationalized. But it has opened the private industry. But sir, it was open in different format. It was like captive mining projects were there. But now it is open for commercial mining. Supposedly the entire industry would be able to increase our domestic core products. Currently our core products is around 650 million tons but can take about 900 million tons. So that aspect we can look at. Also whole India limited. See Now, you have done your petroleum engineering. Tell us something about the petroleum sector. Particularly, how important is oil security for continuity data? Sir, India energy security is very important because it affects us at different levels. It affects our foreign policy relations. How much of oil you are producing most frequently? Sir, we are producing around 800,000 barrel per day. How much of oil do you produce? Sir, we produce about 30% of our portfolio domestic demand for oil. 80% we import from other sources. Sir, is there any move to raise it from the stock market? Yes, the government has taken many steps for that. It has given a new hydrocarbon exploration licensing policy. It has also changed the production sharing contract. What are the proven resources, results of the company? Major proven results are like Mumbai offshore and in Gujarat, there are many fields. But that may not surprise to meet our domestic demand, correct sir? So, what kind of strategy are you following? Sir, first is that government has come up with a discovered small field policy. Where those small fields have only been cooperated by OHSC or Indian limited. They have now been given to private sector so that they can work in an improved process. Apart from that under the health policy and corporate licensing policy, we are inviting foreign investors to come into India and discover those fields. Essentially, there are certain diplomatic initiatives also to acquire more all results. Have you heard of that? Prime Minister visited the Middle East. Any important development taking place during that time? Yes sir, we have foreign assets also involved in sector. In Israel, we are trying to get share in their offshore gas fields. We have TAPI gas pipeline also, so these products are also popular. Now, mergers and equations, how important are the mergers? The merchant happens to ski particularly in sector for a few hours. But essentially, OHSC has acquired HPC limited. So, giving the, your company is also involved in the merger. And mine is just taken over by Karendra, correct sir? So, what are the things, what are the indications of mergers? Sir, the implications different from who is acquiring this company. For example, Vedanta acquired K in India. So, it made Vedanta of company dealing in multiple natural resources. So, it is going to have Vedanta in diversified resources. For a company like OHSC, the acquisition of HPC can make it an integrated and big PSO. And it can compete with many global oil companies. So, it will increase its, there is a potential danger involved in this kind of mergers. Sir, what can be the monopoly? For example, it might result in monopoly. And the customer may not get the very good of them also. But sir, I would like to completely submit this particular OHSC and HPC acquisition. Because these two companies are dealing with a different sector. OHSC deals with the opposite. Sir, it will not be a common one. Why is it general? Thank you. What is the GDP growth rate of Bihar? You are from Bihar? Yes, sir. Sir, I don't know the exact figure. I don't have this figure. 10 plus. What is the human development index among Indian states? Where does it stand? Well, it is at, oops. Have you heard of a hunger index which was brought out about two months back? Global hunger index. Where does India stand there? There was a human development index among the nations of the world. What is India's position? Sir, can I take a guess? It was 195th. 190? It was in 190s. 131. Humanisation of politics. What do you understand by it? Sir, it means that money power and criminal power, criminals are coming to politics. Really coming to politics makes it criminal. Sir, it actually has two aspects. Coming to politics and now politics is preventing and supporting the criminals who are outside of politics. So what is the Supreme Court done to curb this mischief? Names are important, judgements are serious. Supreme Court gave one judgement in which it said that the convicted political execution apart from taking... What was the judgement then, man? It was called Dilip Thomas case that happened in 2008. 2013. Okay, left wing extremism. How many districts in Bihar are affected? Two to three. Only recently Prime Minister has announced rapid development of 115 most backward districts. What are the parameters on which these have been selected and how many of Bihar are in this list? No idea. Our constitution is rigid or flexible. Answer your question with the help of constitution provisions. In certain cases it is rigid but in certain cases it is flexibility. What is the constitution provision? Article 368 provision is there which talks about the amendment. It can be amendment. It can also be a basic structure doctrine. We say that freedom of justice cannot be amended. So in that matter it is rigid. Very good, correct. Now we just said that our quality is federal with a very strong unitary bias. Do you accept that position? Sir, I do not completely agree with that. Okay. What do you say? Because today we are also moving towards a cooperative federalism. The states also have enough provision to exercise their policy making and decide their own path. Will they override the constitution? The constitution itself provides enough space for the states to function. Article 256 talks about three subjects. So states have their own state subject. All right. Okay. Vietnam president was there last week. How many agreements were made? And they were one of the most important agreements. Iran president was here about the previous act. What important agreements were made with him? Sir, to run the second agreement we decided to move forward on Pajaj gas deal. Okay. But that was not the most important. What's important was something else? This was with respect to a court we are developing in Iran. What was the agreement from? Iran gave, it was regarding a using of section of the court for the Indian purposes. For our own purpose like... No. Vedanta, who got involved in a case for Niyangiri. Sir. What was that case? And what was Supreme Court decision? Sir, it was a case where Vedanta was involved in box-site mining in Niyangiri Hills. And Supreme Court decision was that we have to respect the rights of traditional forest developers and to area court people living there. So ultimately... So where do these rights reside in the constitution? Sir, these have actually been given under the Forest Rights Act. No, Article 29 of the constitution. How many countries we are prospecting for oil and gas abroad? I don't know the names of your countries. No, I am not asking. I also know. I probably know more than you. But I wonder, you are working in the sector that will give me the whole picture. I don't know the exact number of countries. How many sites? 38 sites, 17 countries. Bank frauds have taken place. And also people have run away with Indian money. Two very important initiatives have been taken in the last one week by government. Identify those initiatives. Sir, first we have come up with the economic offender's bill. What economic offender's bill? What is the full name? Sir, something related to fugitive offender's bill. Fugitive economic offender's bill. What else? Are you aware of NAFRA? NFRA. You read. Triple the law. What principle was established by the Supreme Court? What constitution principle? Gender parity? Article 15 of the constitution? All right. We close the matter. Now I will give you a little feedback. We have put you under a lot of pressure, but you have been able to withstand. You have been able to handle a lot of questions. My suggestion to you is that you have some time, 22nd of March. You still have about 10, 15, 12 days. You take a look at your prior data. On this most questioning you take, please. Bihar is the first GDP growth human development. Human development is not. Number two, from the bottom. Worst is UP, then comes your state, then comes rice. So take a look. Then there are other things like Nicarbayan, etc. Second is they can ask you questions about COSI. COSI is a Bihar sorrow. Then public administration is the second on which I have asked you a number of questions personally. Like criminalization, etc. Third is oil sector theory. So on this study a lot. These are the three. Fourth is current affairs. Now current affairs you were asked about Udaan. I asked you about 115 districts. I asked you about Vietnam, Iran president. You were asked about merger. How does it help or not? This is COSI code, internal security problems. Loan waiver in UP. Then we asked you about Bodo's, Ulfa, which are all insurgency things. Canadian primary study. So these are the current affairs. So I would suggest that these are some of the areas where you should do. Fourth is this petroleum engineering. They can ask you what is the, petroleum engineering. What are the advances in this field? What is this fracking? They call it, you know, and America is now suddenly becoming oil surplus. It has already started exporting oil. So where is America's supply coming up? Why can't we do this? We need to do the same in India. Now some of these such questions which relate to you. I am sure you will be able to handle this very nicely. While you are doing well, your personality is good. Your voice, everything is nice. Good luck. Thank you, sir. You are showing well.
