ALL THE BEST.

(1/2)
Keywords - Agriculture, MP, Practicing mindfulness, BSc(PCM), Chemistry, solving arithmetic problems.
Chairperson - Raj Shukla sir
Last to go in the forenoon.
Chairperson - Asked about education
Then chairperson directly asked about strategic autonomy. Hum dono ka discussion hua kafi tym tk. India weak tha isiliye non aligned tha, Unka bolna tha ki 1971 m India k pas Russia k weapons the tbhi India war jeet paya aur abhi israel k pas US ka full support h, to India jo strategic autonomy follow kr rha abhi vo sahi h kya??
China 450 million jyada kharch krta h military pe, to agar abhi war ho jaye to India kuchh nhi kr skta kyuki na Russia help krega na US. Unhone ye tk bola ki agar Russia India ko frnd manta h to China ko apna bhai manta h.
So we had a healthy discussion on this and we both were on opposite ends. In last, he said ki mujhse pehle jitne bhi candidates aaye vo bhi rata rataya bol rhe the strategic autonomy pr, to koi to question kro is bat pr. At the end I agreed with sir that we should question things so that we can have reforms.
Member 1 (sir) -
Q. practicing mindfulness, what is it ( I mentioned mindful eating and mindful tech usage in examples and gave a definition)
Q. asked about Chemistry's role in administration ( maine agriculture, fertilizer, industry, polluqtion, food contaminants, water purification bola)
He asked what will you do as administrator out of these things ( I said it depends on the area) so he said consider it as your distt ( I said Agriculture and then mentioned soil testing and also soil health cards( he asked about them). Maine bola soil profile aur details and mentioned Drone didi ( he asked about it). Maine bola mapping aur women empowerment ( to vo bole drone ka use to sirf ek hi bar hoga to employment bhi bs ek hi bar). To m bola crop rotation krna h to bar bar krna pdega.
Member 2 (mam) -
Q. You're from MP, why dacoity ended. I didn't know the answer.
Q. chemistry questions - why bottled water have expiry dates ( m bola water ki expiry nhi plastic ki hoti h shayad).
Q. Why nonsticky pans are harmful for cooking( I said sorry)
Q. Choose any two civil services value which you have(organization skills and discipline and consistency)
Q. Use these values in a case where as a SDOP, you have to manage a situation in which all the employees are slowing down the office work and not even ready to listen, also they are against you (M bola cheezein organized rhengi to kam jldi hoga aur ease rhegi, aur mera discipline ek example set krega unke liye). She was not satisfied.
Q. You said mindful eating, to agar koi emergency wali situation h to aap to mindfully khana hi khate reh jaoge ( m bola mindful eating ka mtlb ye nhi h ki khana der se khao, it's like be mindful when you eat it)
Q.
Member 3 (sir) -
Q. Tumne consistency quality batayi, to sbse jyada consistent to ek ass hota h aur consistency boring bhi hoti h ( I said consistent performance rhegi tbhi to development hoga aur consistency improvement aur growth m bhi to dikhai ja skti h)
Q. Tumne chemistry ka to bht kuchh bataya ki soil testing bagerah, physics ki application batao agriculture m ( m bola physics ko to engineering se link kiya jata h aur technology se). To vo bole ye linkage nhi chahiye mujhe, na technology se, na drone se ( m tym manga to 5 second bad vo pas wali member se kuchh bole aur dusra question puchhe).
Q. Maths k koi indian mathematician ka naam batao ( i said Ramanujan), what he did? ( M bola logical series ka solution nikala tha unhone). To vo kuchh aur sun liye aur bole mujhe maths nhi aati kuchh specific batao, I said sorry.
Q.
Member 4 (mam)-
Q. Sb log national interest dekh rhe h jese american nationalism, Chin, etc, world kese ek sath hoga? ( M bola Humanity, insaniyat aur phir bola one health ka concept, global common, global peace, environment, etc pr unity aayegi)

(2/2)
Q. Humanity to sahi bol rhe ho tum pr sbke apne apne interests h to conflict hogi aur wars hongi to use kese handle kroge ( m bola pehle to violence ko hatana hoga uske bad diplomatic efforts aayenge) to vo boli kon krega ye diplomacy ( m bola UNSC h aur multilaterals h unme reforms ki bat chal rhi h to jyada countries ka part hoga aur consensus) to boli jitni jyada countries utne jyada interests to aur prblm hogi ( then I said kuchh countries jinka influence jyada h agar vo kre to achha hoga, jese US in Israel Gaza and China in case of Saudi - Iran)
My final stand was to restrain from violence nd bring peace efforts led by major stakeholders and influencers, supported by other countries.
Q. Dedollarisation pr views ( I said monopoly kisi bhi cheez ki nhi honi chahiye aur example m BRICS currency aur bilaterals bola). To boli ki Trump ne bola h ki tariffs lagenge agar BRICS currency aayi ( to m bola kafi countries tariffs ko reciprocate bhi kr skti h jese China ne kiya)
To vo boli ki tum kya kroge agar India k sath hua to ( i said diplomacy and communication chal rhi h aur reciprocate bhi kr skte h)
My final stand was that I am not against dollar but there should be a pool of currencies which can decide the market exchange rates ( not a monopoly).

Chairperson sir on phone said your interview is over. Thankyou
I thanked all of them and came out.

Overall - Cordial board tha aur constant smiling aur healthy conversation chal rha tha. Mocks ka mahol bht serious rehta h but real interview achha rehta h.
