I was asked to do the second prioritization of the new economy and I thought this is clearly just a way of finding out what the Germans are doing and I mean what the economy is so I thought I was done maybe with this. And so I went for it. As I said, actually I am specifically owned by the German state and the advice and the general ministry of economic cooperation and development on the definitions and also implemented projects around the world and a lot of trade talks to keep people working for the organization so if you've met somebody from somewhere, just on a coincidence. Yes, Germany is not famous for its extensive rules line but two thirds of our partner countries in the cooperation and development world are also countries for islands so the new economy is really high on the priority list there. And then in the future it's acrobatics so we're only talking about fissures now and acrobatics of course. So far from our perspective the new economy really means it's an opportunity, it's a chance. It's a very innovative job. It's really, yeah, it's an opportunity. SCG 14 is an opportunity for us to reach SCG 1 and SCG 2 so it's really about poverty reduction and it's about securing food for the people. So when you go to a presentation these next few days and you have the SCG 14 and it's not linked to SCG 1 and SCG 2 I will get out and complain. So it's really, this makes the chance really important and maybe I was going to talk to policy makers that seems really the same now, which has to be made often. And yes, so as a fissurist, I can imagine that of course the value change is that the different sectors we're looking at and then we have a particular focus on everything that countries and food security is the job. So I focus very much on the outcome of it, no, jobs, food, that's what we want. Of course we need the ecological basis for it but then it's also about the process of how to get there. It's not only about what can we reach but also how do we get there and this process focus. And then this process is particularly important for us and the moment is a focus on the world of our groups. This may be not a surprise for you, for example, gender issues and the value change but then also we have a big priority on working conditions and social material. This is an area where we have to be cooperating with GSSI and the Royal Tourism Council. And then also I need the officials, we need a fishing and the issue of subsidies. So these are some ways of how can we get to this desired outcomes. I envision this as some circles which align with each other so we have the outcomes of the process of getting there and then around this process is how do we get to these processes. And that's really about working together on different levels on the products of stakeholders in the countries but also on the higher policy level and then also we have different methods so this multi-level, multi-level agreement. And then we have these three centric circles there's another circle around and there are people talking around these three circles inside and I think that's what we're doing today and tomorrow talking about issues and hopefully the sort of model is of any use what happens in the other circle also with some effect on the other circles. So I hope very much that this is not just talking about issues we're already concerned about and also some effect on them in the long term. Yes, and maybe just to answer I'm really here to go to the next stage just to learn about what I'm hopefully doing to get some updates on the Hong Kong project particularly the Thomas project was also on the other side I think such a thing. And maybe there's a game changer somewhere some great ideas I just transitioned from science to this policy area and I was told nobody in the policy area really I talked about what we're doing and obviously there's a lot of interest really on different levels in the policy area and quite really good ideas which also can be applied and which I wanted to manage so if you have a really good idea I'm so excited to hear any things. Great, thank you. I'm involved in feasible carbonization but I'm also of small scale fishing myself so that's what I do for a living. So I'm one of the first people but the impression I have of the group climbing at this time and I have a very deep sense that the group climbing at this time is a serious threat to small scale fisheries and it's just coming to me from the conference in Kenya in November where I saw a very focused effort to influence political will away from small scale fisheries so that is the current impression. What I think the economy should be is I think the economy should be fishers including other sectors and not the other way around. We see fishing as an Asian profession and as such when we introduce new business there should be no negative impact to the fisheries sector that's the first point I really want to bring across. And what is this meeting all for that? I think we can focus some attention on the issues of how do we improve fisheries to support the realization of the SDGs not just SD14B we have many other SDGs that are directly impacted by fisheries particularly small scale fisheries which account for as it was noted over 300 million people and SDGs are our people. So we want to see some focus in that area improving fisheries to the realization to promote the realization of the SDGs and particularly small scale fisheries and of course we'd love to have the opportunity to collaborate with some of you to forge new partnerships and to strengthen the partnership that we already have. Thank you. And I've seen remote coastal communities really going quite far in the direction of local governments demonstrating willingness and abilities to manage their fisheries, their coral reefs their mangroves. We've been supporting Verna Drieger which is a Manus express locally managed marine area and just right now they've just launched a fisheries improvement project which engages local officials, government, local businesses, secret exporters and places community governments right at the heart of their missions while also trying to build equity and supply chain bringing more revenue that rewards the management efforts. So the Verna Drieger Management Association probably spends more time now talking about business and about how they're going to support sustainable aquaculture and how they engage with secret exporters then they actually go about talking about the rules the governments where they're going to put their tables on and things like that. But that makes total sense to me people in that area are less than two dollars a day almost entirely from fishing and yet by focusing on economic activities that bring tangible benefits in the short term they've been able to put in place pre-ambitious resource management measures including notations, most seasons, peer restrictions and the example they've set the national level is now to be really important there's now been a hundred local marine areas around the coast which will take example from these sites and shared experiences and through a network there are hundreds of thousands of coastal communities they're starting to have a voice at the national level in policy and gain an influence. So for us the inclusive blue economy is one that recognises, enables and rewards these collaborative efforts at the local level and creates a space for discussion and dialogue but while it's putting the needs of the most vulnerable at the forefront because they have the most to lose but also they have a critical interest in securing those resources for future generations so again, we often call these communities small-scale fishers but as we've been hearing already the sector is not at all small it's huge, it engages for centres of millions of people around the world and the sector is often overlooked by policy makers, dialogue practitioners over the years but in this context the top-down approaches are not they're often the same they're not quite working when you get out in the field and you talk to people it's leaving resources prone to exploitation and what we really need is this bottom-up process that we've been witnessing in Madagascar and some happening in other countries as well through local initiatives to empower the people who really depend day-to-day on those resources for their income through cultural identity and I'm looking forward to hearing this afternoon as the part that I know the least about from my experiences in the coastal area so I'm looking forward to hearing about how we can link up to everybody's rosette and then from different sectors that we are at a very important crossroads in terms of our efficient store that's the same blue as me on one hand we see that there is very value significant opportunities in the ocean and the OECD is even now predicting and projecting that the ocean economy is doubled over the next decade and we're likely to see unprecedented developments in infrastructure coastal development in transport etc and much of this growth is likely to happen in the global south and east and can potentially respond to many of our SCG ambitions SCG 1 no poverty, SCG 2 no hunger and zero hunger even and SCG 8 decent work for the economic development but on the other hand as we know we have seen many of the educators of ocean health now in decline and that is leading to essential goods and services being graded in some cases permanently and of course this is also now impacting on our ambitions for the SCG's I think our reason to sort of focus on quarries are a particular case in point we've lost half our quarries over the last 30 years with the current projections on climate change we're likely to continue to lose most of our quarries on their sites in the next 30 years nice and depressing and the most impressive part about that is the fact that they are so important to many countries in the developing world particularly for food security the likeness but also for coastal protection and of course there's great diversity of this because the costs of putting grade in the structure would also be excessive why not leave the comics where they are so how can such ambitions to grow be achieved when we're actually eroding the resource base on which such growth will depend and the business as usual should actually is actually going to create great risks not just for businesses but also for millions of millions of people in coastal communities around the world and therefore plenty counter to the sustainable development goals our current business model is learning how to start so without interest in sustainability the major drivers will not reach our ambitions for a sustainable new economy and WWF have basically defined a sustainable new economy on all that but simply our economic growth ambitions are depending entirely dependent on how the ecosystems and the goods and services they provide so we should therefore be simply talking about we shouldn't, sorry we shouldn't be talking about new growth which I'm hearing again and again we need to be talking about minimalising risk and building resilience of the ocean particularly in the face of changing, I would say very erratic climate this will require us to restore many of the ecosystems that have already been degraded before we think about how we're going to exploit the and that's going to require some fashion investments we certainly need to stop thinking about new tech areas as a nice curve but we need to think about this part overall business composition going forward to secure national economies but also to secure business prospects in the long term so more urgently most urgently we need to start realigning incentives and capital to support our aims and in particular to redirect mainstream finance to support a sustainable new economy and shameless effort for our sustainable new economy finance which we did with the European Commission the European Investment Micro-World Justice Institute to conclude I think what we really need to do is start using language and articulate cases that resonate with users and in particular business community such as the design of the point of portfolio of private assets and to ensure the long term business identity but whilst we're both talking slightly different languages or we're all talking slightly different languages it's increasingly clear to me that we want very certain things I think the missing main flea and the sense of urgency that is now needed across all sectors to make sure that we have a sustainable new future thank you very much thank you


Media, future talk. As we are in the midst of COVID, every business is changing. The environment is changing, the economy is changing, the business landscape is changing, media is changing. To understand what's happening in the media ecosystem, to broadcasting, to digital, we have a pioneer of the media industry who started four decades back and is still, let's say, a young man in this old industry. We have the Chairman of Sub, the Sri Adhikari Brothers Network, Mr. Markan Adhikari as a guest in the Exchange for Media Future Talk. Welcome, Mr. Adhikari, to this Exchange for Media Future Talk. How have you been in the last 90-hundred days for you, Mr. Adhikari? Thank you, Dr. Batra. Thank you for inviting me to your webinar. Life in the last 90 days is difficult for everybody. April was horrible. May was some percentage better than April and June has improved but it has not come to that level and we expect that by September, October, we should reach the previous pre-COVID level and if it does not reach the previous pre-COVID level, then it will be the difficulty for all. I think that's very challenging and testing time. Okay, Markan Bhai, thank you for being so specific about it and being real. Now, Markan Bhai, you started in content in broadcasting four decades back. A lot has changed that. This week also marks the 20th year of SubTV, which is now part of the Sony Networks and you gave your baby to them, so to say, while you do programming for it and also the 10th year of Masti, which is the leader in the music broadcasting space. Tell us a little bit about how SubTV was born and we'll then come to how Masti TV was born. Yeah, see, we were in the business from last 40 years. We started with the ad agency. My late brother Gautam, which I'm missing him today, he was the art director of so many big advertising agency. So we started with a small ad agency. It was difficult for him being art director of a big agency to start a small business who is doing the classified advertisement, cinema slides of a teller saw a photographic and I have to just pass the graduate. So it was not difficult for me. I was already a struggler. So there were more struggle for me. But we started with a small ad agency. And then we see television in India started in mid 80s near the this in Delhi, Asia, Asia time. The commercial television is started. The TV was there, but it was all about Amchi Mati, Amchi Manas, Kamgar Viswa and all and for time and program hardly watched by anybody. So first time the sponsored program started and we were one of the pioneer to venture into the sponsored program. At that time, many few people know what is the sponsored program. They were very surprised that why you are making this program? Who gives you the money? So I told them, no, nobody gives me the money. I have to give money to the Durdarsan to buying the slot, then sell to the advertiser and recover my production cost and whatever remain is the our little profit. So that was the sponsored program. How that started on Durdarsan. So we did so many content for Durdarsan. Then we did the initial content for the first satellite channel, GTV. We started with the commander, Philip Stopten, many content then GTV. Not many people know Mark and Bai that in some way you did something in the television industry that is still unknown. Good bad depends on which side you are on. But in commander, you remember your agreement with ZTV, you know, when you why don't you tell the viewers a bit about that? Yeah, agreement was GTV was like that Subhas is a real businessman, he's my mentor. So he squeezed me all the way and we were just paid 1.25 lakh that is also after a lot of negotiation per episode, 1.425 lakh that also the Z was not agreeing to 1.25 lakh per episode, which is just a meager if nowadays if you think then I yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is 91 91 it started in I think 92 but the production activity started in 91. So 1.25 lakh per episode and that's too bigger and that also they were negotiating that were not so happy about 1.25 lakh they want to negotiate further. Then I give them an idea because we were on the Doordarsan but the idea of this satellite TV is being broadcast in 39 countries was very exciting. So I told them you do one thing, you keep all the rights, be the copyright holder of the program, but I'll give me 1.25 lakh and I think that become a whatever may be good or the bad precedent for the satellite industry that in India only the satellite channel asks all the producer with the rights, with the rights, the producer losing their rights, but anyway I want to start my program. It was a trade-off, it was a trade-off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so start with by programming on satellite TV. So we did on Z, we did on there was a second channel by Z, LTV, ELTV, there are very few know about that. So I have started also initial program with it. Then I started with Home TV, the Hindustan Times as a channel called Home TV, but after that in 1995 when DD launched the Metro, DD Metro. So once again we came back to the DD Metro because ultimately we were losing all right which I should be accused for for all the program. So we came back to the DD and because DD was a big thing, DD Metro the 10 seconds spot we used to sell at 1 lakh, 1 lakh 10,000, but 10 seconds spot which is also very difficult in today's time for any channel to sell. So from 1995 to 2000, we have made about some 3,500 episodes for Doordarshan and many popular programs like Suman, Srimati, all the best, Vakki, Ravtar, there are so many programs. Daily afternoon shop also we started with Vakki Ravtar. So till 2000 we were doing this in 1995 we have become the first one of the first media company to be listed on the stock exchange. That that time we offer say 10 rupees, say 10 rupees and it was just 15 rupees till the 1999. But after 1999 in the digital boom, the sale price has gone up from 500 to 1000 and everything and at that time we thought now we should start our own channel. So we did some private blessed man and we have loaned sub TV in 2000, but as we loaned the sub TV exactly six months down the market has collapsed, the stock market has collapsed. So for the fire there was no other alternative to raise the capital, but then also we rent sub TV for the fire. We created a niche brand of comedy at that time. In a lot of ways you've been a pioneer. I mean when I called it the pioneer talk really whether it's in terms of doing content, doing comedy, you know, listing a media entity, you know, you've been a pioneer in a lot of ways. So we've come to that in a while, but I want to hear how sub TV become what it became. Yeah, so then that sub TV we ran from 2000 to 2005. We make it a niche from a Sasbahu, but that time Sasbahu period was there and we make a complete comedy channel. But after fires because we raise a very little capital, we have offered a much capital at that time in 2000 by the our investors, but we have approached them with a very less capital because we have a less knowledge of broadcasting at the time. So we started with a very less capital, but we survived for fire in that. And then the Sony deal has happened. And now now I'm happy that under the leadership of NPC with the present CEO, the channel is the world's highest viewing comedy channel. And in this challenging time also, see all other GC might took a beating, but sub TV is not taking a beating because of the niche content like a comedy. So this is what the journey of the sub TV. And how did musty come along? Yeah, so how did you differentiate musty? Yeah, yeah, I'll come to that. So after giving sub TV to the Sony, have a deal with the Sony, I have tried with one new channel also for one or two year that's called Janma and then live India. But after that time was why I good as a businessman, I would have a very good offer from one industrialist and I make a deal for that also. So after that, that two or three years of break, then it's the media person can always be in media. I'll satisfy myself always in the business of media. I can't do construction. I can't build bridges, roads. So I have to be in media. So I thought about what I can do now because the GC space was very cluttered, very cluttered GC space. And I'll tell you one thing, after 2000 till now in 20 years, only two general entertainment channel has done well. One is sub TV and one is colors. I don't want to take the name of the others, but other 10 have tried the GC all have bombed. So only sub TV brand is survived and color is survived. So these two brands become popular. So I thought that I want to do something but GC was very saturated. So I started, I'll do music, but music also I want to do differently. So the comedy which we did with the sub TV, so we have done some comedy, we have signed some artists like Raju Srivastava at that time was very popular. Not now, so popular, but that time Raju Srivastava like a Kapil Sarma. Super, 2010 I'm talking about. Then Raju Suresh Menon, Silas Loda who is a Tarak Mehta, so many comedians. We met certain character out of it, did some gigs, one or two minute gigs with them. And I interwoven the songs with this comedy gigs. And that was so clicked, our promotion added, it was so clicked that Masthi has become number one channel, Masthi was launched on 4th July 2010. And it's become number one, the 5th August rating of 2010 of Masthi was number one channel. So Masthi had a very good run in last 10 years. Then we launched a Bhujpuri channel also Dabang which is also still doing very well. We have a Marathi music channel called Mai Boli which is also doing very well. We have some two channels for the Ruler India, particularly for Ruler India. So that's a different kind of software and all. Okay, I remember and I take, I've forgotten the name of the show, but it was me and late Mr. Gautam Adhikari, you were watching the content in your home. It was a big launch by star around a show and we watched it and you and Gautam bhai said, it chalega nahi. And it didn't. And I said, I enjoyed it.  The point I'm trying to ask is that you as a content creator has got the pulse of the audiences, right? Where does that come from? First of all, I clarify that you tell the show with the stars, not with the star TV, stars means stars, television stars. Otherwise, star TV will feel bad, we are talking about. Television show with the stars, television stars. Yeah, so it's kind of what I was saying, the sense of the content. The sense of the content because I must have come from a scratch, from a, you can say, very ordinary middle-class family. I brought up from here. So I have seen that every part of my life struggle myself. I travel in local trains. I'll travel in BST buses.  Real life. It's like a R.K. Luxman's common man, what I have studied. So content, as I told, is content is an impromptu creation. It's like a thumb mark. Every impression is different. Every impression is different. So if you know the pulse of the masses, you can create the content because I'll tell you about sub-TV once, so office-office. Office-office was so popular. It was a very niche show. Very niche show. Office-office, very different kind of comedy. So when Meera, I forget his first name. Meera comes to me with the show. He told me the four established channelers rejected the show. But I have just seen the one episode and I told you, this is done. So maybe I'm not the expert. There are many experts, but we have some pulse of the masses. You know, your group is called the Sri Adhikari Brothers. You and I got the late Gautama and a good pleasure of meeting him with you and interacting with him over the years. Tell us, how did the collaboration between him and you work? How did the collaboration between you and him work? Because it was a collaboration. Yeah. As I told you that Gautam was a creative man. He was a commercial artist. He was from the judges' school of arts. He had become a commercial artist and that's why we started and he was art director in very big, big agencies that time. So we started with a small ad agency, which is very difficult for Gautam to make a cinema slide. So we have to transfer and look after the classified dates of Times of India and book them. So I used to look after the administration and Gautam has to look after the creative. But as the started, the commercialization of television started, Gautam wanted to try his hands at the direction. And then Gautam started. Gautam was always a creative person. He never interfered in my administrative side or marketing side. And I never interfered. Of course, we sat together. I have given my ideas for creation. Like you know, we all know about the content, the purpose of the masses. But we never have to interfere in each of the work. Thank you, Mark. And I know you and you mentioned that you started Janma TV, it became live India.  You're very interested in what happens in the country. You have a point of view. How do you think the Indian news channels are doing? I know you watch at least one out of news. And I know I don't call you when you're watching news. I know you're watching news, so I don't call you. But tell us what's happening to Indian news? What is your viewpoint? See, the news and entertainment is mixed nowadays. So any breaking news is also like some exciting episode. They want to portray like an exciting episode. So this is a new trend. I'm not saying it is good or bad, but it's 24 hours. And see, in our country, only this many of news channels, if you go to West America or any country, you will not find, you will find only four, five leading channels, because we have so many channels, 100 channels people are saying. So because we have so many parties, you have a Maya, you have a Mulayam, you have a Lalu, you have a what, no what, not what, what leaders and so many funny parties. So at least you have a material. When you have a material, you have so much of channel. And the same thing with the Pakistan, you know, you and me, Malawena, our relations were good with Pakistan. We visited together to Pakistan. And I used to night the word, the television, they also have some 15, 20, such a small country, 15, 20 channels. So more than 100 news channels. Pakistan has 100 news channels. We have about 200 plus news channels. 200 plus news channel. So the prominent channels, I don't want to say 40 channels. Sorry. The prominent news channels, leave them otherwise many channels are just become a lightning medium. So and nowadays people are shifting to the digital for the news also. Even when I missed my favorite news channel live program, I viewed on the app in the late night. So the digital is now playing a main role. You know, I want to ask there's a view to it. There is an attendee in the webinar called Ajitya Mani. He's asking a question, which is what I wanted to ask you. When will OTT evolve into more interactive format? Binge watching of OTT is basically watching TV without time. And I would like to ask you a similar related question. When will OTT become mainstream? I know you were launching happy TV, right? Happy. At one point you were launching happy and at some stage you will launch it in a new avatar. So where do you see this OTT business going? See, OTT will be the future. Digital will be the future because the advantage of digital, you move with it. Television is static. Digital, you move with it. That is the first advantage. The second advantage, digital is infinite. So these two advantages is with digital. But now in India, as India is a country, is a very family oriented country, very family culture. So nowadays also in a tier two, tier three ruler, leave this tier two, tier three and ruler. But in a metros also, many of the family on dinner table want to watch the television. So because the content of the web is not suitable for family viewing. It is suitable only for the individual mobile viewing. So the television is here to stay. I don't know how much, but it's here to take a fight in well. But this is the future. Why OTT is the future? The sustenance wise because it's not depends upon the advertising. Because the advertising pie will shrink day by day for television also. And there are so many players, so many players that includes OTT also, TV also, other media also. This is the subscription model will work in future, subscription model. And OTT best advantage is the subscription model.     So there is a, some class of people, they improve to the OTT. Now they must be watching on the mobile, but on their television to fix a smart stick and everything. So I think within five years, the situation will improve for OTT. Now also it is growing. The COVID is a career for virus and digital. You were saying COVID is a career for virus. Just before I started my conversation with you, I was talking to Sunil Lulabbar. He said the content that works on OTT doesn't work on the big screen or on television screen. The same reason you said that that is more family watching, this is more individual watching. So tell us, are there rules for getting the content right in television? Is there a playbook to succeed in broadcasting in 2020 and 2021? Are there some some rules? I don't think there are something fixed rule for, because see this is the only place when somebody has become a programming head, it should not some budget, some special degree. There is a master of art for programming or something. So it's like a pulse. You should understand the pulse of the content. And we don't know when which program will click. And the things are like that. Experiment. And one program clicks. Then in today's creative team, they would do, they judge every minute, when TRP is going up, when it's going down. But in digital, you can see what is trending, what are the issues that are important, what content. So you can in some way, your feedback loop. Now let's focus on, since we're talking about OTT content, we're talking about the millennials. In the Shri Adhikari Brothers group, the next generation, the young Turks of the sub generation have taken over. Ravi and Kailash are involved in increasing content on the business side. Now when you talk to them, what is the kind of conversations you have amongst you? What do they learn from you and what do you learn from them? Actually, I learn from them, because I want to be a student throughout my life. Ravi and Kailash, because we were in, actually we were in content, we have started with the content. But when I started broadcasting in 2000, there is a disadvantage that I lose my connect with the content. But I think now the today content is the main thing. So Ravi and Kailash, now are focusing on the content. Their first venture, Deed Patangay was a web film, which is released on... Deed Patangay? Yeah, Deed Patangay was a web film. On OSTAR, independent reviews. I was reading its independent reviews and fantastic reviews. Yeah, right. It's a very good film. So it's released on Disney, OSTAR on 2nd of March. So at that time, we didn't know that film release on the digital will become a trend in 15, 20 days. Because 2nd of March, we did our premiere at the PBR. And within 10 days, the old headers and everything is closed. So now everything is coming on the digital, is on the OTT platform. So all big screen star who are, who ridicules the small screen are now lining up for the small screen. So time is the big boss. Nobody is here boss. Time is the ultimate big boss. Good. Makanbhai, you yourself talked about how you struggled in the early days and how you want to be successful and reinvent yourself from time to time. Apart from the fact, it is, I know you're a very religious person, but apart from God's blessings, hard work, is there a playbook to be successful in life, in anything, especially the media business? I think there is no playbook because I think every Hindustani is very hardworking. If you see the person who is doing a road project on the road, he is also a hardworking. So with your hard worker, somewhere the luck factor also counts. They say the harder you work, the luckier you get. Yeah. And that is also the harder your luckier you get. Sometimes it's, the people are working hard, but luck is not on their side. So I think it's a God blessing. And of course, you should have some ability. Otherwise, God will also not bless. So it's a more, I'll give more marks to the luck and God blessing. And hardworking is, of course, there's Karami dharam hona chahiye. Beautiful. Makan bhai, if you had to make two, three predictions for the future about the media business, what would those be? Future, my future prediction that the TV is not will go so fast as people are predicting. The channel, TV, when I say TV, TV screen is a monitor. But the TV, TV means TV channel. TV channels are here to stay for much longer than what we thought. OTT, the business, it will rise because it's a subscription driven business. So it's all a consumer. You are directly in touch with the consumer. So OTT, with a good subscription base, OTT is a chance. And the kind of OTT program, I would say, I have seen one program like special ops on the whole star, Disney whole star. It is better than the film, I'll tell you. I have watched from night 10 to morning 5 at my house. In fact, a friend of mine has been requesting me to watch special ops for about five weeks and I haven't. Now that you say it's very good. No, no, it's very good. I watched at rest for seven hours and morning at five o'clock in my home theater, I stand up and I give a clap. But I was alone. But it was so good. The program is so good. The future, the OTT content will be better than film. The special ops, if this will run film, the role of KK Mehman will be done by Ajay Devgan and the current taker role will be by Varun Dhawan. Otherwise, the production cost is much higher than in this program. So you are saying that TV is going to stay, content will rule and OTT in terms of quality of production, quality of start is the new movie. You also have invested in movies, produced in movies. The last 90 days have been very tough for the production houses, for movie houses, because one production is stopped, second the movie houses are shut. What do you have to say to people who are dealing with lots of hardships? I know you as a group have done your bit to look after people, but what is your message for home? I think as far as the theaters are concerned, first we will talk about the theaters. The theaters are concerned, I think this will be a prolonged problem. The running of theaters, because if theaters start also, with a 33% audience like a hotel now, now that it has started, the mathematics will not work. So I will tell them some final vaccine will come. Not every day we claim some vaccine has come, not like that. The final vaccine will come and everybody is sure about that, then only people, because the big screen is big screen. There is no match to the big screen. So at present is the hard time, but I think in a year, one and a half or two years, we don't know. But maximum in two years, that time will come. Till then, they have to adjust with the small screen. And about the hardship, it's a great hardship for the people because in the most of the organizers and good organizers, I will even say, they are payoffs, they are salary cuts. So this will impact the economy, because they impact the demand and will demand will impact, definitely impact the economy. But we have to be optimistic. One day will come up. World is here to stay. In 1919, there was a Spanish flu. Like same lockdown and everything, there was a less facility. There was no net or everything. But then also the world will survive and grow. So the world will definitely survive, especially for India. Indians are very hard working all over the world, not only in India. That's the nature of the DNA. Now, I want to ask you my last question before I wrap up. In your journey of 40 years, as an entrepreneur, as a professional, as a content creator, you may have interacted with many people. Of course, your late brother, Mr. Gautam Adhikari, of course I'm sure would have been an inspiration to you. But tell us about five people in your life, in the professional sphere, that have influenced you a lot and have inspired you and you learned a lot from them. Three, five, six. I'll tell you, there is a, I have learned so much on those days when they were noted from Doordarshan. So Doordarshan, there is no special person. But they're rotating CEOs and rotating DGs and all that. So because that time only Doordarshan. So I have learned from many people from Doordarshan. And then I learned more from Subhazji. He is Subhaj Chandra. Yeah, of course. So he is my mentor. See, he has actually established the, what we are today in media. So lots of credit goes to him. So and one thing I would like to mention that he is my, I feel so proud to say this. I feel so proud that he, he was working with, he was my employee about 25 years, Uday Sankar in my new setup. And today he's a chairman of Disney Epic and Star. So the one journey, which I have seen, yeah. So one journey of Uday, I have seen a tremendous success. I have never seen in a professional life, anybody successful like him. That's that. He's really one class. Uday is really one class in the way he thinks. I mean, I think there's a lot more of Uday still left in Uday. And I'm very hopeful. Uday is there, then he will give a run to the other oddity players. So the host star will definitely give a run now with the Disney and Star come together. So I'm very confident about it. Thank you Mark and Bai. There are two questions. Pragya Gupta is asking, any upcoming OP app for OTT platform? Are you bringing out a new app for on OTT? Is the Shri Yadikari brothers? And is there a common subscription for the apps while going for an individual subscription? So is someone aggregating all the OTT apps? At present, the time of his survival. This year, you can't expect somebody to bring something new. So it's a time of survival. So if we survive, that's the best thing. And the aggregating of OTT. I think it started in some way. What I know about Zeefi and all the other, I started in some way, but how much it is successful? I think in a very big player, it is not possible. Maybe the down level, it may happen, but on a big level, I don't see it's possible. Raghunish Rastav is asking you, how much do you weigh the relevance of regional content on a nationwide OTT platform? By the way, Shri Yadikari, as he said, they have their music channels in Indian languages, but he's asking OTT in regional content. See, OTT and regional persons are doing well because if you take the south, south as their own cinema, they have their own OTT. So it's a different country like a situation, that they have a different cinema. So it's a volume like a different country. Whatever volume we have in Hindi, the same volume you have in Tamil and in Telugu. And so there is a scope for regional OTT and there are. I have marked some OTT in Bengal also. So it will come up, day by day it will come up. Okay. Manish Kumar wants to know, do you agree that this pandemic has proven to be fruitful for music channel as the viewership and consumption of music have gone up? Question, it's a question. Pandemic, this lockdown has been good for channels and music channels. I'll tell you, lockdown as a good for viewership of TV channel. But for conversion, ultimately the bills to pay by day is not good. It's like I'll give you an example. Like if this is a channel, it's like a utility business. Everybody is on in the pandemic. Like you imagine all five stars are open in pandemic, all five stars. So everybody go dine over there and going out without paying, what will be the situation of that business? So the same year in broadcasting, the people are consuming the content in pandemic very well. But the bill says to pay by the advertisers is not much there what they are asking discounts. That's exactly what Sunil Lula said, saying that while the audience has increased, the index is at a historic low. So to say and hopefully July onwards, we'll see some groups. My final question to you, Mr. Adhikari. What is it that you say to yourself and people around you?  I always tell them that always be positive. So that is the inspiration. You should give it to the children. You are giving already, but I have been lucky enough to know you and know you closely. So I have learned a lot from you.  So I wish you luck. And I look forward to another conversation soon enough with you. Hopefully you'll have your non-COVID times and I look forward to launch of an OTT platform sometime soon from Shri Adhikari brother. Thank you, Dr. Bhatra. Amen. Thank you.

Displayed here are the list of articles that we are going to discuss today. You can go through it. Now without much delay let's get into the news article discussion. Take a look at this news article. See talks about the violation of model code of conduct by a Telangana minister ahead of a election in the state and the election commission has issued a notice to him demanding an explanation. So this is the crux of the news article given here. In this context let us learn about the model code of conduct in detail. See the model code of conduct refers to a set of guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India for the conduct of political parties and candidates during elections. It is primarily a set of rules to rule out any unruly behavior by the political parties and the members associated with it during the time of elections. Now coming to the evolution of model code of conduct see historically the credit of giving idea of model code for political parties should go to state of Kerala. It adopted the code of conduct for the first time in observance for political parties during the general election to the state legislative assembly in February 1960. See a draft code was voluntarily approved by the representatives of the leading political parties of the state at a meeting which was specially convened for the purpose by the state government. See this code has covered in detail about the important aspects of electioneering like meetings and processions, speeches and slogans, posters and play cards etc. Then during general election to Lokshapa and simultaneous elections to several state assemblies in 1962 the election commission circulated the code to all the recognized political parties and it proved to be effective in conducting of election campaigns in peaceful and orderly atmosphere in the country. Then the political parties by enlarge followed the code. Then the 1991 general election was a watershed event in the course of evolution of model code that year model code was further amplified and reissued. So this is all about the evolution of model code of conduct. Now let's see few additional facts relating to model code of conduct. See the model code of conduct has been evolved over the past six decades with the consensus of political parties who have consented to abide by the principles. The most important thing to note here is that it does not have any statutory backing in any law. See it comes into force from the announcement of the rate of elections and remains in force till the results are announced. Now let's see some of the code of conduct which has to be followed. Firstly political parties and contesting candidates should not use religious places for election campaign. Then such speeches should not be delivered in a way that it create hatred among different communities belonging to different religions, castes and languages etc. Then official machinery should not be used for election work. Also no new grants can be sanctioned and no new schemes or projects can be started once the election dates are announced. And finally one cannot misuse mass media for partisan coverage. So these are all some of the codes that has to be followed. Now coming to the question what happens when the model code of conduct are violated. See the election commission of India has no legal backing to punish the offenders for the violation of model code of conduct. However certain provisions of the model code of conduct can be administered legally by invoking corresponding provisions in other laws. So the violations need to be conjured with statutes under the Indian Penal Code 1860 Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 and representation of the people at 1951. But obviously this is not sufficient as there are too many violations of model code of conduct in the country during elections. Remember here the news article also deals with breach of model code of conduct by the Telangana minister. So the legal exports are of the opinion that model code of conduct should be provided with legal backup and stringent punishments for the violations of it to keep a check on the continuous offenders. That's all regarding this discussion. Through this discussion we have seen about the evolution of model code of conduct. Then some code of conduct that has to be followed and the importance of providing legal backing to model code of conduct with these key points in mind. Now let's move on to the next news article discussion. Take a look at this news article. This news article reports about contempt of court. See a contempt of court petition was filed against Mr. Rangarajan Narasimhan by the senior council Mr. Venu Srinivasan. The Madras High Court has closed the contempt of court petition after Mr. Rangarajan Narasimhan gave an unconditional apology to the High Court. So this is about the news article. Although the news is not very relevant contempt of court is very important for your examination. So in our discussion today we will focus on contempt of court. Before getting into discussion the syllabus relevant to this topic is given here for your reference. Kindly go through it. First let's see how the concept of contempt of court originated. See this concept originated in England. In England several centuries ago the judicial power was vested with the king. That is the king served as the judge. At that time there was no separation of powers. So to product this judicial power of the king the concept of contempt of court originated. Then after some time the concept of separation of power emerged. At that time steps were taken to separate the judiciary from the executive. So the judicial authority was vested in a panel of judges who acted in the name of king. Since the judges acted on behalf of the king the violation of the orders of the judges was considered an outrageous act against the king himself. So anyone disobeying the orders of the judiciary were held in contempt of court. So this is how the concept of contempt of court evolved. So at present disobedience to judges or obstruction of the implementation of their directives become punishable for contempt of court. This also included comments and actions that showed disrespect towards the courts as well. Now what is the objective behind the concept of contempt of court? See it is to safeguard the interest of the public because if the authority of the court is belittled then public confidence in the administration of justice will be weakened or eroded. This might result in the collapse of the entire judicial system. So the concept of contempt of court is necessary for the judiciary to function smoothly. See contempt of court can be of two kinds. One is civil contempt and the other is criminal contempt. First let's take civil contempt. Yes civil contempt means willful disobedience to any judgment, decree, direction, order, writ or other process of a court or willful breach of an undertaking given to a court. This is about civil contempt. Now moving on to criminal contempt. A criminal contempt means the publication of any matter or doing any other act which scandalizes or lowers the authority of any court. Here the term scandalizing the court refers to something that brings the authority and administration or law by the courts into disrepute, creating distrust and disbelief in the minds of the public at large. A criminal contempt case also includes the publication of any matter which interferes with the due course of any judicial proceeding or obstructs the administration of justice in any other manner. Here the publication could be by words, spoken or written or by signs or by visible representations. So basically the difference between civil and criminal contempt is that in case of civil contempt, the order of the court is not followed and in the case of criminal contempt, the authority of the court is lowered. Having covered the basics, now let's see constitutional and statutory basis regarding contempt of court. First is Article 129 of the Indian Constitution. See Article 129 declares the Supreme Court as a court of record and the Supreme Court shall have all the powers of a court of record including the power to punish for its contempt of itself. Next is Article 142, Class 2. See it states that the Supreme Court has all and every power to make any order for the purpose of securing the attendance of any person, the discovery or production of any documents or the investigation or punishment of any contempt of itself. So basically Article 142, Class 2 of the Indian Constitution empowers the Supreme Court's verdicts and rulings to be enforced. The Article 142, Class 2 also states that while performing its duty, the Supreme Court may issue any verdict or order which is necessary to provide complete justice. So this is regarding provisions that empowers the Supreme Court. As far as the High Court, we have Article 215. See Article 215 declares High Courts as a court of record and that it shall have all the powers of such a court including the powers to punish for contempt for itself. So these are all the Constitution provisions regarding contempt of court. In addition to this, we also have a statutory provision under the Contempt of Courts Act 1971. But what is the necessary for this act? See if you notice carefully, although Article 129, 142, Class 2 and 215 mentions contempt of court, it does not define what contempt of court is. So it is the Contempt of Courts Act 1971 which defines what is contempt of court. We saw the types of contempt of court, right? They are defined by the Contempt of Courts Act 1971. See civil contempt is mentioned under Section 2B of the Contempt of Courts Act and the criminal contempt is mentioned under Section 2C of the Act. Here the punishment for the contempt of court is also provided in this Act. According to the Act, contempt of court punishes the guilty person with imprisonment that may extend to six months or fine off Rs. 2000 or both. See the Act also provides some production against the contempt of court proceedings. As per Section 3, innocent publication and distribution of matter is not contempt. That is, a person will not be guilty for anything published in connection with any pending civil or criminal proceeding if at the time of publishing the person was not aware that the case was pending in court. Then as per Section 4, fair and accurate report of judicial proceedings is not contempt. That is, a person shall not be guilty of contempt of court for publishing a fair and accurate report of judicial proceedings. Then most importantly under Section 5, fair criticism of judicial action is not contempt. That is, a person shall not be guilty of contempt of court for publishing any fair comment on the merits of any case which has been here done finally decided by the court. Then there is Section 13. Section 13 states that no court shall impose a sentence unless it is satisfied that the contempt substantially interferes with the due course of the justice. So basically only if the court is satisfied that the contempt interferes with the due course of justice, the court can award a punishment for contempt of court. Finally, there is Section 20. Section 20 places a time limit to initiate contempt of court case proceedings. Section 20 places a limit of one year from the date on which the contempt is alleged to have been committed. After this period of one year, contempt of court proceedings cannot be initiated. So this is all with respect to constitutional and statutory basis regarding contempt of court. Now let's see the necessity of contempt of court one by one. See the contempt of court is necessary to ensure the supremacy of the judiciary. In a young democratic country like India, the judiciary is the last option of hope for the citizens. So maintenance of supremacy of the judiciary is a necessity. Then the existence of civil contempt helps ensure that court's orders are obeyed. If court's orders are not obeyed then our society might slip into chaos. Then contempt of court helps product the judiciary from personal attacks. If the judges are subjected to personal attacks their judgment might get tainted. Then for the proper delivery of justice, the judgments must be made by independent judges without any biases. Currently in our country even though there is a separate law dealing with the contempt of court, the issue of trial by media is on the rise. The advent of 24 hours news channels has only amplified the problem. These news channels are functioning based on their vested interest. So if there is no contempt of court act, these news channels will push the country into complete mob rule. Then India continues to have a high number of criminal contempt cases which validates the necessity of the presence of contempt laws. Finally, although the contempt of court was enacted in 1971, the constitution makers included it in our original constitution in article 129, 142, and 215. So there is a need for contempt of court in our country. Although it has its merits, it also has some demerits associated with it. Justice Phalleus Nariman once famously said, criminal contempt has fallen into disuse in most of the civilized countries around the world but not in India. So there are some issues with it. Now let's see some issues. Firstly, the contempt of court is against the fundamental rights guaranteed under article 14 and 19. See, contempt of court provisions has some features that stifle our right to freedom of speech and expression. So basically in a democracy, even the courts have to be tolerant towards criticism. This is the first issue. The next issue is that the language used in contempt of court act 1971 is very vague. Since the language is vague, the courts can interpret the provisions liberally to prevent constructive criticism as well. In some cases, the contempt also violates the principle of natural justice. There are various instances in which the judges acted according to their self-interest. So this is against the principle of natural justice. Then some use the contempt of court proceedings as judicial overreach. See, we have incorporated the concept of contempt of court from the British, but right now contempt laws have been abolished from the United Kingdom itself. So some people are of opinion that the concept of contempt of court does not find a place in modern democracy. Finally, that is the issue of overburden. Already, our judiciary plagued with a huge backlog. So the high number of contempt cases pending in various high courts and the Supreme Court further overburdened the judiciary. So to conclude, we can say that the scope of the contempt must be limited to willful disobedience of directions or judgments of the court. Also, steps must be taken to remove the scandalizing the court part and the language-defining contempt must be more clear, so that the discretion in interpretation can be avoided. So that's all regarding this discussion. In this discussion, we saw about the origin of contempt of court, its objectives, then the types of contempt, then about the constitutional and statutory provisions, and finally about the merits and demerits of contempt of court. With these key points in mind, now let's move on to the next news article discussion. Have a look at this news article given here. This news article talks about the uniform civil court. The news is that in the last cabinet meeting, the Gujarat government moved a proposal to constitute a committee to evaluate all aspects of implementing the uniform civil court. See, this move is similar to the move taken by the Uttarakhand government recently. This is the crux of the news article given here. In this context, let us understand about uniform civil court in detail. First of all, what is uniform civil court?  The uniform civil court calls for the formulation of one law for India regarding civil cases. That is, the uniform civil court envisions a single law that is applicable to all religious communities in matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, etc. And note that this uniform civil court comes under article 44 of the Indian Constitution. So, what does article 44 say? The article lays down that the state shall end over to secure a uniform civil court for the citizens throughout the territory of India. But what is the situation prevalent in India? See, in India personal laws are based on religion. See, these laws apply to a certain group of people based on their religion, caste, faith, and belief. And they are made after due consideration of customs and religious texts. To get an idea, just have a look at these personal laws that are present in India. Like the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, the Hindu Sukshushan Act 1956, the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act 1956, the Muslim Personal Law Shariat Application Act 1937, and then the Dissolution of the Muslim Marriage Act 1939, and the Vakka Act 1955. From these examples, what can we infer? We can infer that there are laws existing for personal matters based on religion. So, now the question is why everyone is talking about uniform civil court? What is the need for uniform civil court in India? The answer is the disadvantages of personal laws. Now, let's see them one by one. First of all, these personal laws are exactly the opposite of secularism. So, to promote secularism, we need uniform civil court. Secondly, the personal laws are discriminatory nature. For example, if you take Muslims, they are governed by Muslim laws, whereas Hindus, they are governed by Hindu laws. And hence, these laws will not be the same. So, the benefits that are enjoyed by a person in one religion is different from the benefits that are enjoyed by a person in another religion. And this is discrimination, right? And this is why we need uniform civil court. Thirdly, we need uniform civil court to promote human empowerment. See, some laws are extremely patriarchal and misogynistic. Here, misogynistic means strong hatred against women. This leads to subjugation and mistreatment of women. To avoid this, we need uniform civil court. Fourthly, overlapping provisions in different laws can be avoided. And finally, uniform civil court will help accelerate the process of national integration and it would create a sense of oneness. That's all regarding this discussion. In this discussion, we saw about the uniform civil court and the need for uniform civil court in India. With these learned points, now let's move on to the next news article discussion. Have a look at this news article. The news article says that on the UNSC committees meeting in Mumbai, our additional Secretary of Ministry of Home Affairs mentioned that between 2018 to 2021, when Pakistan was placed in financial action task force gray list, the number of terror bases across the Jammuan Cashmere border reduced by 75%. But since 2021, again the terror bases are on the rise. It has increased by 50%. The background here is that earlier this month, the FATF, that is the financial action task force, removed Pakistan from the gray list of countries. So, by highlighting the relative peace that existed between 2018 to 2021, when Pakistan listed under gray list, India asked for the continued list of Pakistan in the gray list. So, this is about the crux of the news article. In this context, let us learn about FATF in prelims perspective. First of all, what is FATF? See the financial action task force, which is shortly known as FATF, is the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog. It was founded in the year 1989 by the initiative of G7 countries. Here know that G7 or group of seven is an intergovernmental organization consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Now, coming back to FATF, see FATF is an intergovernmental body. It sets up international standards that aims at preventing the illegal activities of money laundering and terrorist financing and also to prevent the harmful terrorist activities. In addition to this, the FATF works to generate the necessary political will to bring out national legislative and regulatory reforms in these areas. Know that the FATF secretariat is located at organization for economic cooperation and development that is OECD headquarters in Paris. Currently, the FATF has 39 members including two regional organizations such as European Commission and Gulf Cooperation Council. Know that India is also a member of the FATF. Now what does FATF do? See the FATF has developed the FATF standards. These standards helps develop a coordinated global response to prevent organized crime, corruption and terrorism. They help authorities go after the money of criminals dealing in illegal drugs, human trafficking and other crimes. The FATF also works to stop funding for weapons of mass destruction and it reviews money laundering and terrorist financing techniques and continuously strengthens its standards to address new risks. Here the new risks are nothing but the spread of digital currencies and crypto currencies etc. The FATF also monitors countries to ensure they implement the FATF standards fully and effectively and holds countries accountable. So far we have seen about FATF and its functions. Now let's learn about the important lists under FATF. First let's see about the gray list. See the countries that are considered to be a safe haven for supporting terror funding and money laundering are put in the FATF gray list. This inclusion serves as a warning to the country that it may enter into the blacklist. See this list is also formally called as other monitored jurisdictions. When a country is placed in this list it becomes extremely difficult for that country to get financial aid from the international monetary fund, the world bank and the European Union. So this is about gray list. Now let's move to the next list. It is nothing but the blacklist. This list is formally called as call for action. See blacklist is a list of countries that the FATF considers non-cooperative in the global effort to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. These countries support terror funding and money laundering activities. See the FATF revises the blacklist regularly adding or deleting entries. As of October 2022 only three countries are in the list. They are Iran, North Korea and Myanmar. Know that Myanmar was added very recently. Now let's see what happens when a country is blacklisted. A blacklisted country may be subject to economic sanctions by a member of FATF. Also transactions involving those countries will be subject to more levels of scrutiny by banks. So this might discourage companies from doing business in the blacklisted countries. So this is all regarding this discussion. In this discussion we saw about FATF, its functions and about the two lists of FATF. With these key points in mind now let's move on to the next news article discussion. Take a look at this news article. It speaks about Kalanama crisis. The news is that Kalanama crisis which is traditionally tall is now redeveloped with dwarf properties by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute to address the issue of lodging. In this context let us learn about Kalanama crisis in detail. Now first let's see a brief history of Kalanama crisis. See Kalanama which literally means black salt is one of the finest quality of aromatic rice grown in India. This scented variety has been cultivated since 600 BC that is probably before the Buddhist era. See Kalanama crisis also known as Buddha rice as it is believed that Buddha broke his fast on the day of enlightenment when Keer made from Kalanama crisis was offered to him. So this is about the history of Kalanama crisis. Now let's see the property of the rice. See Kalanama is a black colored rice. Traditional varieties of the rice were tall and were prone to lodging. Here lodging means a condition in which the top of the plant becomes very heavy because of grain formation which subsequently makes the stem weak and the plant falls on the ground. The bending over of the stems near ground level of grain drops makes them very difficult to harvest and can dramatically reduced yield. So to address this problem recently Indian Agriculture Research Institute introduced dwarf varieties of the Kalanama rice. Now coming to the geographical extent see Kalanama crisis grown widely in UP's Therai belt. See the Therai or Therai is a lowland region in northern India and southern Nepal that lies south of the outer foothills of the Himalayas, the Shivallik hills and the north of Indo-Gangetic plain. This lowland belt is characterized by tall grasslands, salt forests and clay-leach swamps. So this is where the Kalanama crisis grows. Now let's see few additional facts regarding Kalanama crisis. See it is known for its medicinal and curative properties. It is rich in antioxidants and has a high anthocyanin content that helps in the prevention of heart disease and improves the health of the skin. As the rice is rich in iron and zinc it helps in regulating blood related problems. Recent research has shown that Kalanama crisis is excellent for diabetic patients and must be included in their daily meals. See the export potential of Kalanama crisis huge. The Kalanama crisis commands a higher price than basmati rice by roughly about four to five times Due to its long-standing association with Buddha it is becoming more famous as holy rice. The aroma of the Kalanama crisis originating from the villages of Siddharth Nagar has now started reaching countries that practice Buddhism namely Japan, Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Bhutan. So this is all with respect to Kalanama crisis. In this discussion we saw about Kalanama crisis, its properties and a few additional facts. With these key points in mind now let's move on to the next part of the news article discussion that is to discuss preliminary practice questions. Now look at this first question. With reference to model code of contact consider the following statements. Let's take up the first statement. Model code of contact is released by the election commission of India. Here this statement is absolutely correct. Yes model code of contact is a set of guidelines issued by election commission of India. So the statement one is correct. Now coming to the second statement. It has legal backing in the representation of people's act 1951. Here this statement is incorrect. As we saw from our discussion MCC has no legal backing. If you know this fact you can even eliminate the statement 3. Here the statement 3 says violation of MCC automatically amounts to the correct practices specified under section 123 of the representation of people act 1951. So the statement is incorrect. Now coming to the fourth statement. It comes into force from the date of announcement of the election and stays in force till the actual date of the election. Here this statement is also incorrect. The first part is correct. That is it comes into force from the date of announcement of election. But it stays in force till the date of the result. Here it mentioned actual date of election. So this statement is also wrong. Here the statement one is alone correct and the other three statements are wrong. Here the question asks for correct statement. So the correct answer for the question is option a one only. Moving on to the second question. With reference to uniform civil code two statements are given. Let's take up the first statement. Establishing uniform civil code is one of the directive principle of state policy. Here the statement is correct. This is what mentioned in article 44 and it is one of the directive principle of state policy. So the statement one is correct. Now coming to the second statement. It promotes national integration and secularism. Yes this statement is also correct. It promotes national integration and secularism because it shuts down all the discriminations created by the other personal laws. So here the question asks for correct statements. So answer for the question is option C both one and two. Moving on to the third question. Consider the following pairs. Here the G attack, rice and the areas where it is grown is given. We have to pick the correct pairs. Look at this first pair pokali rice kerala. Yes this pair is correct. Pokali is a unique salient tolerant rice that is cultivated using extensive aqua culture in an organic way in the waterlogged coastal regions that spread in about 500 acres in Alapura, Thirushur and Ernakulam districts of kerala in southern India. So the first pair is correct. Now look at this second pair kalanamak rice uttarpadish. Yes it is correct which we have seen in discussion itself. Now coming to the third pair judima azam. This is also correct. Here note that judima rice is widely used in the wine industry in parts of karbi anglong region of azam. So the third pair is also correct. Now coming to the fourth pair chakhao manipur. This pair is also correct. It is a type of black rice and it is widely grown in parts of manipur. So the question asks for correctly matched pairs. So the correct answer for the question is option D all four pairs are correct. And this is the question for you today. I will post this question in the community section try to answer it. Displayed here is the main question for you today. Go to the question write your answer and post it in the comment section. With this we come to the end of the video.

I Can't imagine I'd have a problem, but I can't imagine I'd care anymore ladies and Gentlemen gentlemen our last time I made one of these at about the midway point through the video We gave a little a little shout-out to a channel that I was enjoying Today, I'm gonna do it again. I'd like to shout out player essence OJ he's he's become a friend of mine. I hope he would say the same We've had one conversation on Twitter about Xenoblade, but it was a very nice conversation We were also on the spawncast together the other night. He's just a really wholesome awesome dude He just loves himself some Xenoblade if you know my friend RGT 85 his contents kind of similar to that It's like news and he's he's live right now He does streams and reviews and he has his own podcast so go check him out He's a really nice guy and if you like videos like this, that's my shout. That's woods woods Shout out of the day that that segment needs a name. Give it a name down below the most liked name for the segment will become the segment I could regret that all right really quickly before we go through this IGN event Let's go that I want to touch on a couple of things that have happened. Yes I know persona is coming the PC persona for Golden's going a PC a lot of people tweeted this at me because If you know me, you'll know that persona for Golden is my Favorite friggin JRPG of all time. I absolutely love that game. Ah, man. It's gone a PC. Why is this huge? I know a lot of you are like, no, but persona games. They just don't leave PlayStation This is the first time we're seeing a persona game leave a PlayStation console And it's just a step in the direction of getting the games elsewhere Okay, and I really really quickly want to touch on a couple of topics We talked about in the last one of these videos a month ago I brought to your attention that animal crossing will not go away and that was a month ago The game's been out for like three months now And if you go to the trending tab on Google just how many people are looking up animal crossing interacting with animal crossing Content and searches over the entire internet animal crossing is still holding in there like I know it's obviously Dropping more and more because that's just the way things go But in comparison, I've thrown last of us two and last of us in there since those that's the big game coming up pretty soon Look, it's just blur. It's just blur a game that came out three months ago Animal crossing is still like people love it man. You don't but yeah, I just love it I love the impact animal crossing has had it's insane Then I went on a whole conspiracy theory rant in my last one of these about Ubisoft and what the heck they were doing and We've had a little bit more information now I mean at that point Assassin's Creed Valhalla had just been announced But to catch you up real quickly and go watch it because it still blows my mind But we talked about how every single Ubisoft game in their production has either like gone completely silent or just had Release dates pushed back to we don't know it's and this is before the corona thing too This has been going on for like the last two years like it's really weird But they announced far well, I don't know if they actually did announce but Far Cry 6 It's been discovered that that's on the way. So clearly I I think it's kind of obvious Ubisoft loves money They're a very money focused company and they like rinse and repeating the things that work and I think all their ambitious projects like Skull and Bones which you know, let's face it. I'm excited. It's probably not gonna do that Well, so it probably took a backseat to a game like Far Cry 6 that they know is just going to sell So that's a little bit of an answer as to where their focus has been Let's take a look at this IGN event that I didn't get a chance to react to I like how immediately We're five minutes in and I'm already seeing people just putting F's in the chat I'm sure this event was very exciting I've never heard of that before well cinematic trailer to kick it off Who knows yeah, it could be an RTS for all we know they might have said but as I said We're thoroughly skimming through this. Oh this this was okay. This is actually pretty cool. Alex kid HD I heard about this. I wonder if it's made by the same people that made The Wonder Boy remake because that was so good. Oh, no, it's different people. Oh, well, whatever I didn't I didn't know there was a shivery one And I definitely don't know what the gameplay is like because that was a cinematic trip This is not what I expected this. Oh, we got you. Oh some yakuza gameplay Okay, I have complete faith in a yakuza game because I I I really like this series I've played quite a few of them, but I never remember the game the gameplay being turn-based strategy I really love the gameplay of the ones I've played which are more like beat em up brawlers So that's kind of that's kind of one of my favorite things about the series But I'll give it a chance. We'll see it's not exactly the The best information I've received today. Oh, this game looks cool. I I'm so I don't know am I weird Everything else doesn't look really boring to me so far and then I see this and I'm like, oh, this is cool It's adorable. I like the art style. I'm too far deep into my indies, man I've gone I've gone down a dark path That's really interesting that art style. Oh, that's really interesting. That's messing with my mind a little bit It's like a 2d character that's kind of blending in with this 3d world I love that. What the heck? I love that art style demon turf. Why are they talking about bioshock 3? Oh It's probably by a shock 3 DLC. Oh, yeah, all right. That looks pretty good, too Okay Yeah, I don't know. There was something very not exciting about that, but all right Well, now we're all up to date with IGN Geez, I'm sure the PlayStation 1 will be a lot more fun. So join me tonight for that stream I'd really appreciate it. Check out those e-shop sales check out I don't know whatever. I hope you had a good time like the video if you want I don't know subscribe if you want to do that. I'll see you tonight And if you're watching this after the day then see you whenever I guess bye


I'm Kamehameha Joseph, you know the training like the land nap training today was definitely physically challenging because of the distances that you had to walk. The terrain is definitely different from Germany which is wooded but the wood is more open. Here you have more jungle type so you have to have a strategy on how you're going to find your points. I mean you have to use the fundamentals, you got to do terrain association, you got to be able to make sure your distances are accurate, you know how to use the compass properly, you know how to use the maps properly and connect all the dots, all the fundamentals with what you're trying to do to get your points. It's going to frustrate you because you could come across all the points but if your distance is not right you know you're not going to get it. If your plotting is not right you're not going to get the point so it will it will stress you both physically and mentally. Safety brief, you're going to be walking for a while, you're going to be in and out of your mob gear, you're going to be carrying a casualty. We want you to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
