More than 100 percent of the base price. Okay, fine. So, is it too much or still the state government needs more revenues from the fuels? What is your take? Sir, the constitutional division between the center and the states is such that the center has got more taxation power, sir. For example, it has got tired taxes. Whereas, in case of the state or the tax power itself is less, with the introduction of GSD, the maximum tax rate has been increased by 28 percent, sir. So, along with that, the current economic situation is such that there is corona and post-corona effects on economy. So, at present situations, we need to have, the state should have a water-to-back stop. Okay. Can you tell me what has been the GSD collection for the whole of Karnataka last month?

Okay, Lakshmi. You want to join Indian Forest Service? Yes. But it is different from the normal civil service. How is it different? Sir, it has diverse profiles. It varies from conservation, which is, sir, there are both similarities and differences. Similarities is that both civil service and forest service are the productors of land service. And also, they are involved in a grassroots level. And they work towards the inclusive level. Difference is that we need to deal with a wild life here. People can voice for their rights, whereas in case of animals, they can't voice for their rights. And also, tribals are one of the grassroots people, sir, compared to civil service and forest service. Since the tribals are involved, and so there is a bit difference. Okay. Good. How your knowledge of civil engineering is going to be helpful in executing your job of forest service? Sir, I can use my knowledge of civil engineering and construction and maintenance. Or you can also supervise the woodworks, dam works, or check dam works. Good. Good. Good. Good. What important wildlife you can see in city situation? Cities? Wild life, sir. Sir, we can see birds. Or we can come across, even domesticated animals can come across. No, wild. Only wild life. Only wild life. And what? Sir, say, for example, in Rajasthan, camels can be seen. In Bangalore, what do you will see? In Mysore, what do you will see? Sir, in cities. In case of Dasara, we can come across, you can, sir. No, that is a different thing. It is domesticated. You can see, if there are leopards and charmander, it is, you know, so. Okay. Enti Venam. What for they are used? Enti Venam. Okay. Okay. Wild diversity, how many hotspots, how many hotspots identified in the world and in India? In India, there are three, sir. Three. Are you sure? Or more? It is actually two, sir. Some consider even western Himalayas as a part of the world. You tell all two or three, whatever you want. Sir, it is three, sir. Three. Sure. Yes. Or four? Yes, sir. Only? Yes, it is four. It is four? Yes, sir. Then you two, three and four. Sir, it is four. And how many in words, in word? Sir. How many hotspots total identified in the world? 12. It is more than that. Okay.

How it is going to affect the normal life? We are, presumably we are using 4G. How it will be different? And 5G. Sir, it has positive effects and also negative effects. The positive effects is that the connectivity will be going to India. For example, it can be used in online education, it can be posted. And we can teach in other words, negative effects is that the problem is from the radiations. A few researchers have pointed out that the radiations will have more effect compared to 4G. And also, there is one more side effects in China. When 6G will be a possibility in India, which year? Probably, another 4 or 5 years. Therefore, we will get to 6G also. Because technology is developing in China. Our TMI is already cool, but that time we will try to achieve that 6G. I will go to it, sir. 2013. All right, Ms. Rashmi. So, you are passed out in 2013. You are from Chhambraja College of Engineering. Which is one of the better colleges. And you got gold medal. So, you are one of the best civil engineers. And after 2013, what were you doing? Sir, I was applying for jobs and also to find positions. Oh, applying for jobs, you are one of the best civil engineer. So, why is that you will not join the jobs? Sir, I was trying to have college also. If you can have buildings to fulfill the ecosystem services, because buildings are replacing forests or trees. So, can we have buildings which can replace ecosystem services, which is provided by nature? Sir, we can intimidate the nature to some extent, but we cannot replace the ecosystem with the buildings. That is true. But can you elaborate on what you said earlier, the imitation? Sir, it could be probably. In fact, that is our ideal. That is to have imitation, complete imitation of buildings to nature. This is the idealistic situation. But as you said, we may not be, but we are trying. So, rather than being very categorical, saying we need lot, we are trying for that. Sir, one, there could be multiple ways, sir. First could be we can use local materials and the construction of the buildings. Secondly, we can you integrate it with like vertical forming can be done in the buildings or rooftop forming or rooftop cultivation can be done. We can provide a free space for free movement of animals or we can even domesticate the animals within the buildings. What are ecosystem services? Sir, ecosystem services are the basic services provided by the, which are part of the ecosystem. For example, water filtration, soil production, soil conservation. All right, who was Kanakadasan? Kanakadasan. Sir, you stay in Kanakadasan. Yes, I will answer. It's quite popular in Karnataka. It's not a new name in Karnataka. Sir, I'm not getting the exact English name to say it, sir. What?
