 Good morning sir. Good morning. Very happy to see you. And please tell us, Angus, what prompted you to choose civil services, especially the IAS as your credit option? Sir, after giving careful thought about civil services during college time, I interacted with seniors also and I found out there's no other job in the country can provide such a platform where you can get the opportunity to work in such diverse fields. So many people put faith in us that we can make some impact in their life every single day of the work. So these are the reasons behind choosing a service. And also I feel my personal inclination towards public dealing in policy, formulas and implementation is what is satisfying to me. Okay, that is implementation of the government scheme, it fascinates you. That's nice. But in the meantime, you are coming from Rajasthan. Do you know Rajasthan per capita income is one of the lowest in the whole country? Do you know that? Yes sir. Do you know what's the reason? Why? Is it not that the IAS officers are not implementing the schemes which you have just mentioned? What is the real problem? Sir, there are several reasons behind it. Rajasthan erst firing the Bimaru state category, now it's time to come up as an aspirational state. Some of the geographical reasons, for example, the western Rajasthan is a barren land. Secondly, the industries are many of the heavy industries are not here. We don't have sufficient reserves of coal and iron ore. Apart from it, there are various historical reasons as well. And the lack of connectivity and physical infrastructure to the remote parts of Rajasthan is also another reason. And patriarchal norms were rooted in the society. So we have been changing now. But however, these measures had led in Rajasthan to have a low per capita income. Okay. You mentioned about some of the difficulties, connectivity and the probably dry regions of Rajasthan mentioned. Suppose you are appointed as the collector of the differential commissioner or deputy commissioner, a DM, district magistrate of the particular district you are just mentioning that development is not taking place. How will you go about it? If you are a tenure of three years, what will you really do there? Sir, my first and major focus would be balance development of the state. For example, the eastern side, the east side of the Arabi, if you take Arabi as the reason in Rajasthan. So the east side is very green, has good amount of rainfall. So there we can suitably promote industries and also water intensive industries. For example, we already have cement industry, etc. We can also tape investment. So as even our unable PM is focusing on vocal for local. So and one district, one product scheme is of UP with the brothers. So taking a leap from there, we can focus on various districts and their strength. Sir, we can focus on human capital development, which is providing good education, healthcare, etc. Okay, nice. Have you heard of a recent effort by the government of India for solar energy, one of the largest solar, Asia's largest solar energy project is being opened by the Prime Minister of this country. Have you heard about this? Sir, I know of certain cities in the solar energy sector. The park is open, I'm not very sure about the place. But then Rajasthan having so much sunshine in a backward area. Don't you think this is a very good project that you can really start in order to secure the availability of electricity in those districts? So definitely sir, solar energy provides us a very good potential in terms of renewable energy and having energy security. And Rajasthan being the state through which the topic of cancer passes and ACDC is roughly 330 days of sunshine. So for this we have taken certain initiatives. Even we have been the host of international solar alliance and we have national solar policy. Apart from this, we need to be self-reliant in terms of solar panels. And after this, definitely we can tap on the potential of solar energy. India and particularly Rajasthan has a very good potential. And you are a student of anthropology? Sir. Okay, you know the evolutionary scientists like Charles Darwin or even Valash or even the present day Stephen Hawking or many new scientists have difficulty in connecting the present generation of human beings and the primates. But about 20 years ago, they have found out a very important skeleton remains in eastern Africa, which is supposed to be the beginning of humankind, the homo sapiens. They have named it also. Do you remember the name of this skeleton which is still being maintained in the United States? Sir, if I'm correctly able to recall, is it Lucy for sir? Yes, that's right. That's right. Yes, that's right. Very good. Yeah, wonderful. Mr. Krishna Khan, please. Or Harik and Jacob, sorry. Thank you, sir. Good morning, Mankesh. Good morning, sir. In fact, you have given your hobbies as playing basketball and couch surfing, right? Yes, sir. So which position do you play in basketball? Sir, my, mainly my position is point. Okay, and who is your favorite basketball player? Sir, in the present times, it would be Sir James Lebron, under which was Michael Jordan. Present times, it is Sir James Lebron, who is currently playing. Recently, one player passed away with his daughter. Sir, Kobe Bryant passed away in a helicopter crash. And what is, like, yeah, you prefer to surf only on the couch? What is this, what does this couch surfing refer to? Sir, it's a form of traveling where one travels and rather than staying in conventional hotels or resorts, one prefers to do home stay, staying with the local people, trying to intermix with them, knowing their culture, etc. So it is benefitting in several ways. Also, you get a local flavor and you're not just seen as a tourist or as an outsider. So there are several benefits of it. So that's why it's important. So which are places you have travel to? Sir, so in the north I have been to in Marchal Pradesh, Trakhan. For example, if I have a name, they have done McLeod Gunn, Stephen Trak, etc. In the south, I have been to Kerala. We have Munnar. Munnar, I have done home stay. I have been to Vainar also. So these places are there in the east. The most place to face some particular difficulties. What are those? Are you aware of that? Yes, sir. Certain difficulties are there. The major difficulties of security, safety and security for the both, one who is the host and one who is as we are going to some of this house. So for both of them, safety is the one. Second is the regulation. Because there are no central government law regarding it, how to regulate cow surfing. Though it is there for the hospitality and tourism sector. And so these two difficulties I can think of at the moment. Okay. Have you planned on starting any home stays in New York? Sir. Hello. Okay. Hello. Somebody can mute. Somebody other than the candidate can please mute your audio. Yeah, please carry on. Carry on. Carry on. Sir, my place sir, I haven't started because I stay on a rent. So suppose you get selected to IA's and you become the DM of your place. What are your plans for tourism assets? Tourism, tourism, promotion of tourism. Sir, several steps can be taken up. Talking about my home district, the first would be to provide a safety to ensure the safety of tourists. For this, even for the women tourists, we would have a women police force. Women tourist force for the protection of tourists. Second would be the regulation on hospitality sector, ensuring proper infrastructure and connectivity. Third would be digital marketing. And digital if you could promote. For example, Arzastan has this tagline, So such measures could be taken up to promote tourism. Sorry for interruption. Angush, there is one state in which they have a separate police force for tourism. The tourist police. Have you heard about it? Sir, I have heard about this sir. I'm not able to recall the name of the state. Okay. That is Kerala state. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Krishna Khan. Yes, sir. So, uncle, you have done your graduation from IIT Kanpur. So, I think you have heard about this Vikas Dube case, right? He belongs to that area only. So what is your opinion on extra judicial killings? What are like whatever Vikas Dube had done or not? Are you in favor of extra judicial killings like the way police has responded or what is your opinion? Sir, as far as my limited understanding and in my humble opinion, I believe that the work of the police is to deliver the accused to the judiciary and the work of the judiciary is to deliver the judgment. Any interruption in the process leads to failure of the constitutionalism and due process not being followed. Hence, I will support extra judicial killings or such encounters and I would believe that the process must be followed and everything whether it's a criminal, whether it's a convict, whether it's an accused, the trial must be held before the court and according to the proper legal system. Okay. But already previously he had encountered few police people. He had killed some of the people. Again, police was chasing him. So should police take the risk to arrest him and produce before the magistrate or they should do what they had done in what way they approached. You should think about the security of police people also at one end. Sir, this I accepted me myself being unaware about the ground realities. Though looking at it from the larger picture, if you allow such happenings to happen, such encounters, then at times innocent people could also be killed in such a way and this would set up a wrong precedent. That's why I would still suggest that the proper law process should be followed and the police could keep proper, because it's like wearing blood proof jackets or perhaps sooting on the leg first and not above the bell. However, I'm not sure about the ground realities to comment upon such a matter. Okay. Tell me how many COVID cases are there in Udaipur and Kanpur? Sir, in Udaipur last week there were 645 cases. I'm not sure if the number has gone up by some amount. And in Kanpur, sir, I haven't kept the number in Kanpur. Okay. So Rajasthan is considered as one of the most risk prone areas for people to travel. So how this Bilwara emerged in hotspot and what is this Bilwara model of COVID containment? Sir, earlier Rajasthan becoming one of the most riskier states because of the influx of tourists and secondly, coming up of people from outside even through Indore and there was some catching. However, Bilwara has successfully contained and served as a model by its aggressive containment strategy. It has followed 40 models which is tracing, tracking, testing and treating. Apart from this, they have been to door-to-door. They have done extremely contract tracing. They provided the essential services also door-to-door and the isolation period which is the 14th is extended into one month. So certain aggressive measures have helped Bilwara to emerge as a model state if a model city restricts for other places. So Ankur, over. Ankur, it's very nice that your ideas about extra visual killing or encounter have been welcome and when you talk about encounter, do you really support or oppose capital punishment? That note that you are a Jane and the ultimate punishment that get by hanging or capital punishment. They should be done away with or they should be continued. In India, of course. Sir, firstly, quoting the law commission report, is it also commenced against death penalty capital punishment and also many international examples where they have abolished death penalty. My personal view is that I would also believe in reformating justice rather than retributive justice. However, in case of grave and inus crime, I believe that capital punishment could be there as a detract but still, as long as possible, as far as possible, we should try to reform the criminal. So that would help us more. Okay. Thank you. Okay, Ankur, your entry is over. You may go now. Thank you, sir. Okay, you can sit there as well because there's going to be a briefing, short briefing here. So if I brief, then other panelists also will brief. So you are a very pleasant and potential candidate. And obviously you are already 26, 27 years of age, am I right? 26, yes, sir. Yeah, 26. So you are a good candidate. So and your thought processes, your presentation is very mature and you're not rushing into answering the question. It's good, actually. So even in the question of why you want to be an IS officer very carefully in a more matured way. Some people say a childhood dream or, you know, something like that or status in society. These are all very mature and, you know, across the table answer. You are very well thought out particularly. And probably when you say about the, when you be the district collector, in fact the same question once again repeated, district magistrate, probably you can start about water availability. That's all the problem. How will you find water? How will you find electricity? Education, of course, is nice. Road infrastructure facilities are good. Good. You generally deal with it very nicely. I'm sure you'll be able to answer very well there also. I think I'll ask Mr. Krishna to comment on your response. Yes, sir. I asked you questions about Udaipur versus Kanpur in terms of COVID cases and all. You should be very aware which all area are visible in Udaipur. Everywhere, how many cases are there? Rajasthan versus UP in containment of COVID. How is the COVID situation? And everything can be asked from UP and Rajasthan, which is available. We are from IIT and they can focus on brain drain, higher education, education reforms and all those things. So with respect to your background, you might be asked from IIT, around your engineering questions also you will be asked because you have recently passed off. So engineering questions they will surely ask which background you are from, apart from the anthropology and all those things because you don't have work experience. So you have done sufficient things. Just brush up a little bit fat from every area. You will do well and overall your performance is good. So as I said, everything should go on well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Hari, please. Thank you. Uncleish, overall very good performance. Your answers are well thought about. In fact, I tried to deviate you from, like by putting that call surfing aspect because I just wanted to know whether you have done it or you have just put it just for the sake of public purpose. But I felt you came out as genuine and you had suggestions also. So keep more of like thought out answers for your area related questions. And all the very best. You will do that. Yeah. Good. Same thing, Hari. Now you have to prepare from your college point of view, from a civil engineering point of view, from Rajasthan point of view. Today, what is going on around the country in the world? Now you are a civil engineer. If they ask you about our border road organizations latest project for which it got three times the financial allocation. Can you be able to say the name of the project? I will look into it, sir. Yeah. That project along the line of actual control. The very prominent road being constructed. And across the LSE also the Chinese is building. The Karagoram line. And they may ask you what is the difficulty? Why it could not be completed in time? So as a civil engineer, you will be able to answer this question. So there are many more questions on border road organization. Civil engineering point of view. Bonded leverage or the migrant leverage and civil engineering. This is subject of the day, no? Yes. Please prepare more on that. All the best. Thank you, sir. All the best.
