strength and also its capacity to gain co-operation of other nations.

Ch. Do you think we should recruit more its officials ?

Me. Yes sir. We are short on the number of officials and recruiting more will certainly help.

Ch. Do u know how many IFS officials we have ?

Me. Sorry sir I don't know the exact figure.

parties help give recognition to ground level problem at the national stage.

of choice as they have to leave their homes, family and culture. In the Europe may be we children

can be educated, work.based on education migrants can be inducted into work. Germany is aging so

S: (Thinking a bit)To answer the first partat the Earth summit of 1992, it was firmly established due

to ice core analysis that climate change is a reality and major role was due to the erstwhile

industrialized nations since industrial revolution of 1780s.

C:It was 1880s na..

S: It was later half of the 18th century Sir.

C: Okok..

S:. Then the negotiations started. Recently we had Rio+20 summit( since 1992 one happened atRio), to review the process .CBDR under UNFCCC is a known principle today. Also,the carbon

budget has lesser headroom left for developing nations

C( Interrupting): You didnt mention about Kyoto protocol? What were issues in that and did it work?

S: Yes sir, I am sorry I missed that. Kyoto protocol was signed at Kyoto prefecture in japan in 1997

stage and will be commercialized in future. Can we leave it midway . No. We have 25-30% of

Monazite sands share of the world. This is our chance to have energy independence. It will

strengthen our foreign diplomacy.

C: But recent event show that it could be risky?

S: Sir, I dont believe so. This is media hype. The Kakrapar power station of South Gujarat was

contained in designed manner. AERBB detected no radiation in premises. Since, the FukushimaDaiichis 5th anniversary fell on the same day as incident, it was portrayed in a negative manner by

the media.

C:ok.

( Passes on to the next lady member, who looks from NEpart of India).

M1: Says a para about panchayat.What are the responsibilities of Panchayat and have they

safeguarded the interests of people?

Pause( 10 sec)

S: Panchayats are a means of local self government and decisions are meant to be taken by people

participation and consensus. It has in past distributed land among people in rural areas( She is

nodding). It helps in wage employment of people. Especially wrt PESA ie. Panchayat Extension to

Schedule V areas, it helps in NTFP collection , liquor prohibition and land allotment etc.S: Mam, I forgot the second part of your question.

M1: The safeguarding of people..

S: The institution has issues wrt funds and human resources. Its HR lacks training and

organizational strength and are not able to form adequate interface between distt admin and people.

But it has provided 33% reservations to women and even 50% in few states, hence acting as tool for

women empowerment.

M1: The country has ample natural resources and is well endowed. But still tourism sector is not

able to achieve its potential. Can you explain to me why?

S: mam, may I think for sometime and then answer.

M1: Yes Sure.

S:May I use the paper and pencil?C: Sure.

Thinks and writes on paper a few points.

S: Yes mam, there are diverse issues but first and foremost is the image of our nation: the security

of women and then the dirtiness of our heritage sites and overall nation- waste management is a big

issue.

Then , the administrative issue eg I have lived in Varanasi and touts do harass the tourists and

overcharge them. Our tourist police cells are not effective. The North east is abound with natural


12/28

beauty but it is not well connected and developed. Then the state also doesnot monitor it

paraphernalia aswe see judiciary intervening with issues like Rohtang pass traffic control. The

carrying capacity monitoring is a big issue today also in religious places.

Nods.

C passes onto next member.

M2: Should India go for GM crops like Bt Brinjal, BT cotton?S: Yes for nonfood crops and no for food crops.

M2: you mean for food crops yes..

S: Sir, it is the other way round.

M2: ok. Do u think that the non food crops may enter human food chain?

S:(surprised,Thinks what one forest guard had told during west india tour): I just realized that it can

sir through feed material.

M2: Hmm. Okay. Now tell me should we go for wildlife tourism and how?

S: Absolutely, we have precious resources like 70% of world tiger population and lions in India. Our

Protected areas have limited capacity to entertain tourism pressure. So innovative methods could be

applied. Eg I recently visited Gir and found out that 10 years ago only 50000 tourists/year used to

come but now, 5 lakhs come . Hence they created a safari at Devalaya for 4 lakhs and rest 1 lakh isprovided permits at Gir national park. It has balanced all issues.

M2: What do they do at Safari park?

S: They take tourists in a bus which is packed and a few siddhi tribe guides communicate with bus

guide over walkie talkie about lion locations and then people are taken along those tracks. It

provides for tourists cultural enrichment and a win win situation.

M2: Recently, there was a case in Supreme court regarding the Gir lion to be transferred to some

state. Lions have frequently moved to farther regions than sanctuary also.What are your views over

that?

S: I believe that it is not a technical issue but a political one. Lions have habited regions from

Palestine to Palamu. The reasons of high temperature issue is not convincing enough in my opinion.

Southern kutchhpart of Gir has been a revenue grosser due to lions. Its their pride. If they part with it, it might lead to

overall loss to them in future since whole region depends on it. So, they dont w ant to translocate

some of them to Kuno Palpur region of MP.

C passes on to M3.

M3: What are causes of forest fires?

S: There are three main reasons: Wildlife criminals , poachers burn shrubs to have better sightings

of animals. The picnickers, tourists cook food and leave cigarette butt, and lastly the people living in

fringe areas burn under growth to have green shoots to enable grazing and fodder.

M3: What is market?

S: It is a place where two entities viz. supplier and demander of a commodity arrive at an agreement.

M3: Is it just a place?S: It could be a platform also.

M3: Just these two. Ok leave it. Tell me what is marketing.

S: Showcasing the qualities of a commodity to fetch a premium price.

C intervenes: Is he an economics student?

M3: yes he is .

S: I have read it in class 12.

M3: I am asking just basic stuff . Ok draw the Indifference curve?


13/28

S: Sir, can you please provide some insight as I wish to answer this.

M3: A situation where the customer becomes indifferent to the price rise of a commodity however

high it goes.

S: So, it is all about price elasticity.

M3: Nods.

S: Sir, the essential products like salt sugar are basic needs and they would form such a category ofproducts.

M3: Yes, Ok. But I feel its salt, (starting to smile.)

S: Sir, since I am sweet tooth. So, I said sugar as well.

All members smiling quite a bit( including me- Humor in that moment).

C passes onto the M4

M4: Please tell me the name of the satellite recently launched by India.

S: IRNSS-1F by PSLV C32

M4: It landed on moon na..Chandrayan.

S(??): Sir, it was 4 years ago.

C intervenes: No no.. he asked you that.

S( Had heard the question correctly, but sensed something fishy when C intervened)C: I might have not heard the question properly sir. I am sorry.

M4: Okok..doesnt matter. Have you heard of BBIN

S: Yes sir.

M4: Explain.

S: BBIN=Bhutan Bangladesh India Nepal. An initiative to increase connectivity and hydro power

generation etc.. A regional motor vehicle agreement was signed also in this regard.

M4: can u mention 4 pillars of it.

S: Transport connectivity, Hydropower since Bhutan Nepal are involved and also infra spending by

India for connectivity. Not just physical but all sorts of connectivity like I ways etc

M4: Ya all are interconnected like water sharing, diplomacy etc.

Now tell me In south Asia, Which is the country in ur opinion which has the best environmentalpolicy?

S( Thinks about Map of SAARC): Bhutan.

M4: Yes( smiles)why?

S: Sir, their happiness quotient ie. GNH has special regard to environment. I have two friends from

Bhutan in course and from them I have learnt that it is a source of livelihood for them. The tourism

sector heavily depends on environment these without which they may get pauperized.

M4: India has been friends with Palestine since 1947 and since last 20 odd years we have opened

up to Israel and in last 18 months we have accelerated that relationship. Do u think its a correct

course of diplomacy?

S: Yes it is. But before I answer the question , I would like to quote that India supports Two sta te

solution between them based on borderline as per pre 1967 war situation. Now, Israel is a richnation with tech capabilities. It supplies to us HERON drone for security purposes. I can be a big

investor for us.

It also supported us in critical times like KARGIL war. How can we forget that sir! We cant. Wehave

to build pragmatism in our diplomacy while respecting human rights of Palestine.

M4 turns towards C ending his share of questions.

C nods and smiles. He says thank you.

S: Stands up. Thank You Sir, Thank you madam

to apply 15 years into your administrative career.

2. Qs on Lance Naik and siachin (siachin discussion kind of dragged on...could have been more

pointed in my answers)

3. Last q was what is gender auditing (I said I don't know...she said guess...I said something...

Checked after coming back home, it was somewhat close to what I guessed )

Overall experience quite cordial. In retrospect, I think instead of dragged stories, pointed answers

would have been better. Fingers crossed though! All the best to everyone else!

Experience- Very cordial atmosphere. They maybe want to bring the best out of every candidate.Very rarely would anyone being interviewed by David Sir's board would feel jittery about their

interview. But nobody really knows the criteria on which marks are awarded.

Mine was more of a conversation. Rarely a factual question sprang up. Mostly opinion based. They

direct you, at times, to the answer they expect. David sir is a very keen observer. Kept scribbling

things down through out the 30-35 minutes. There were no major hiccups except for the DAF

blunder. I cant stop cursing myself for doing that.

Its really wonderful to see that people are so eager to share their experiences to the benefit of

others. I hope my experience helps others too.

Its also a shame that certain fake scripts are doing the rounds. I hope that it stops, it brings the bar

down.Although I lack the knowledge, experience or authority to advise, I feel being one's true self never

goes out of fashion.

Best of luck to all.

Interview on 14th March, 2016

Board: David Sir

Hobby: Blogging and Scribbling

Graduation: Electrical (JSS Noida)

Post graduation: M.Tech - Electrical Engineering (IIT-BHU, Varanasi)

Hometown: Mau near VaranasiOptional: Sociology

Work Experience: Feb 2013 stil working in CAG as an Auditor (SSC-2011)

Mine was David Sir board. David Sir and M1 asked me about smart city. M1 went into depth

explained too many things but I was not upto date on smart city. Also, some situational question

which I tried to gave through some simple examples. I was clueless on smart city but could not say

sorry or no because it is an ambitious project of GoI. I struggled sailing but I tried my best.

David: What are smart cities ?

Me: Sir, it is not only about IT driven city, though it is fundamental to the concept but there are

several areas for e.g. safety and security of the citizens, urban waste treatment, municipal wastemanagement, transport, education and health.

David: Government is taking so many cities to be developed under smart city, don't you think it'll be

unfair on the part of other cities not being developed under smart city for e.g. a city 20kms away to

smart city.

Me: Right Sir, Sir it seems that the other cities will be left neglected but Sir there is something called

demonstration effect. That, if one city is developed under smart the city in geographical vicinity or

proximity will also get developed. Also, Government thorugh other schemes will bring development

to these cities

for e.g. member 1 asked

M1: You know there are 3-4 models Government has identified and then different cities at differentlevel of development and there present status you know, then coordination between agencies and

then he goes on speaking sthg...

Me: [I was not aware of the models due to out of touch from the issue.] I told Sir, Information

technology is at the core and fundamental to the development of smart city but [as he said different

city with different present status] for e.g. a particular city has garbage disposal problem and dumping

issue then scintific disposal of the waste becomes important for that particular city.

Looked unconvinced but I couldn't help

M1: Suppose yourself as DM then how to develop smart city

Me: I replied sir initially I'll take one week of time to take stock of the situation and identify the areas.

Also, will go through the work of senior officials posted within the same distrcit and then accordinglyintervene.

M1: Yes, how

Me: Sir, for e.g. if I have to take my city Mau (near Varanasi), the roads there are well laid down but

the bumpers are not provided at trijunction and squares in the city which is important for safety and

security of the people living in the city.

M1: In a district there is a DM and other agencies through which DM coordinated but don't think

policy implementation takes top-bottom approach and often not consider the bottom-up approach.


18/28

Me: Sir DM has the responsibility for the policy implementation and it requires coordination among

the agencies and it seems that it is a top bottom approach. But Sir, for successful implementaion of

the scheme citizen participation is crucial as they provide valiuable inpouts and information to the

District head so bottom up approach is equally important. Both the top-bottom and bottom up

approach has to work in oordinated way. Command and control structure will not achieve the

purpose.

It was tough sailing with Member 1 but I felt relaxed, smiling, confident and was prepapred for the

next question. I don't know how they see the things. One thing is sure that it is not the number of

answer we are giving that matters butthey are looking at our approach. We are not aware of the

crude administration but we can make effort to convey the sense of the matter.

No member asked me about my work experience, hobby, M.Tech, current affairs, IR etc. It went

completely on unpredictable lines. There are so many issues regarding the reforms in CAG, then

CAG intervening in policy matters, CAG important revelations for e.g. 2G, Coal, CWG, AAI-DIAL

tussle, audit of PPPs, Discoms, Kingfisher Airlines credit policy issue etc. but haven't asked a single

question.

I will post the rest of the transcript in some days

Yes regarding wishing Good Morning and Thank You. I wished charman and the members on both

sides and then after finshing the interview I wished Chairman and members at both sides and said

"Have a Good Day". Though my interview was not going good but I was relaxed because it is not

finished until you are in the cabin.

Let see how they evaluate. Hope for the best

21/28

yaar mujhe koi problem nhn hai share karne main but there was nothing exceptional so did not share

it. I dont remember exactly but atmosphere was cordial and I could answer most of the questions. I

plainly said I dont know sir for 2-3 ques. Some of the Qs asked were(not in any order):

Board: Arvind Saxena

Profile: presently family business, Pub ad, Rajasthan, 30+, B.tech, movies, snooker

1. Indirectly about Vijay Mallya. Company going into loss and CEO taking crores of salary and

employees not getting any salary. ( I said CEO is potentially the best person who can get the

company out of loss so crores of salary can be justified but not paying salary to the employees is not

justified....I could not raise moral issues involved. I could have been forceful on this question but I

tried to maintain balance as i did not take it as a mallya issue..as chairman has not mentioned it

explicitly )

2. About contract farming.(profile related) I was grilled in depth over this. I could survive few cross qsand then surrendered.

3. What is value addition? it was easy.

4. what is forward-backward linkage? It was so easy that i explained in detail. The member

summarised in one sentence to which i said yes, sir. Thank you, sir with the expression of sense of

enlightment

5. What is referendum? Where in practice? Pros and cons? Should we go for referendum? It was

easy.

6. Should bureaucrats be allowed to fight elections? some counter Qs and arguments.

7. About NJAC and judiciary. I said NJAC should be there and defended it somewhat successfully.(I

consider this as my best part of the interview.)8. Relation between Belgium and Rajasthan Jewellers. Now this was out of the blue. Instead of

saying i dont know..i played blind by saying Antwerp in Belgium is hub of diamond trade...few factual

Qs again but somehow managed it.

9. What is BREXIT. I could not get the term so asked the member to spell it. He sort of fumbeled

. i ws not sure so i asked can i guess he said yes i said about britain exit from EU. Then qs about

EU, eurozone. not very good.

10. Greek debt crisis. Easy.

11. Which movie you watched lately and what you learnt? I said the Martian and blah blah blah.

12. Few Qs about snooker.

13. views on odd-even scheme.

14. views on World culture festival and NGT order. I said fine is not enough and permission should

not have been granted at the first place itself and event could have been organised at some other

place.

few other Qs which i couldnt recall.

I was calm and confident during the interview. let us see what happens.

23/28

Chairman: Who hosts in NDTV 24*7?

A: Sir, Ms.Barkha Dutt and Mrs.Sonia Singh..

Oh.. OK good..

Directs towards M1

M1: Mr.Krishna do you think we can call Media as 4th pillar of Democracy anymore considering that

they have resorted to sensationalism and media trial? Eg: Sheena Bora murder case and all

A: Sir, I agree that due to increase in no. Of channels and the fight for TRPs.. Channels are resorting

to sensationalism , but it would be unfair to blanket them all under a single term. Many channels

have highlighted social issues as well and took on to get justice for victims as well. Even the

supreme Court has remarked that Media trail should be avoided when the matter is sub judice.

M1: What do u think is the solution?

A: Sir, An independent regulator with power is needed

M1: Dont we have it already?

A: Sir, we have a broadcasting council and An editorial guild which is basically a consortium of all

Pvt channel heads.. But I feel more than that Self censorship is needed . a journalist must know abt

what and how to report and how much to report. The same was said by a regulator in UK. When the

News Of the World Scam broke out.

cells and cure blindness.. So far the results hv been promising.

M2: Tell me, even after division why acrimony amongst people in Andhra and Telangana?

Tell me about people only. Not river sharing and all..

A: Sir, the Genesis of the acrimony lies within the Article 371G itself.. The uniqueness of which have

made people local or non local within the state itself..

People resent due to lack of proper employment facilities ESP in govt sector. Sir, the status of

Hyderabad as a free zone is the main contention there. It has been alleged that jobs have been

given to people outside the region at the cost of local telanganites.

M2: But now they have Amaravati as capital na?

A: Sir, Amaravati is still under construction and Hyderabad will be the common capital till 2024


24/28

according to Telangana reorganisation act.

M2: Is the acrimony still present what has govt done to reduce that?

A: Sir, the CM has declared a fresh Socio economic survey of hyd to be carried out which was done

last year. And he has also declared that controversial rule of ppl staying before 1956 in Telangana

will only be considered as locals will b dropped

name.. Do you mind?

A: No, maam I do not..

Thank you. Mr..Krishna tell me about urban teledensity and compare it with rural one.. Do you knowthe ratio?

A: maam teledensity means the level to which the communication esp mobile or landline telephone

have penetrated the given area..Maam I am not sure of the numbers but I guess roughly it is 3:1.

Urban: Rural

M4: Ya, you are right..


25/28

M4: What should be done? Should the Pvt telecos be charged and given responsible?

A: Maam there was a fund instituted for this called the Universal service obligation fund. Which was

collected as part of spectrum allocation. From Pvt telecom operators.. To increase optic fibre

network The CAG report says that it has not yet been used. I think the onus now lies on Govt to put

it to use

M4: Mr. Krishna tell me about DRDO?

A: Explained about it for two sentences..Premier R&D defence relatedetc.

M4: Mr.Krishna, why is that both our indigenous light combat aircraft and civilian aircraft have been

in making for so much time?

A: Maam. There have both procedural difficulties and the problem of delegation with Tejas. With

numerous agencies having overlapping commands. The problem also was with Kaveri Engine which

couldnt provide sufficient thrust.. And hence it engine and engineering were transferred to GE. But

the Govt took a long time around 7yrs to come to a decision on it. Now Tejas is not purely an

indigenous one only the outer shell has been designed by India maam ..which gave us a bad nameof just being an assembling unit for aircrafts. Regarding , the civilian aircraft.. The MoU was not

signed properly maam . which made Mahindra to opt out from the contract and take it to Australia

M4: So what can we do now?

A; Maam hoping that make in India will make a difference to the present status.

M4: Mr.Krishna.. U read Indian fiction, hv u heard of Jhumpa lahiri?

A: yes maam, she is my favourite writer

M4: Oh is it. What was her latest novel?.

A: Maam her recent novel was in Other worlds..

M4: Is it in English?

A: maam it is written by her in Italian, and translated to English..

M4: have you read it?

A: maam I havent read it because Ms.lahiri herself was unsure abt the translated book..

M4: I have read it Mr.Krishna.. And it appears as a mishmash ..her touch was missing..

A: yes maam this was the reason y even I was skeptical..

M4: On a lighter note.. May be we should learn Italian.

I just smiled.

M4: Have you read the namesake? What is its central theme..

A: Maam the central theme of it a migrants search for his identity as he is torn between his

American trait and Indian roots..


26/28

M4: yes yes.. Did she win a Booker for it??..

A: maam she won a Pulitzer for her first book The interpreter of maladies a collection of short

stories..

Chairman interjects..

Thank you Mr.Krishna. Your interview is over..

I thanked all of them.. And left..

Overall the board was very cordial..

Maam even switched on the fan for me. When I was sweating ..

I thanked her. Dont know how much I will score.. I felt the interview barely lasted 15 mins,But the

next person after me told it went around 30 mins..
