knowledge and sustainable development.
Me: yes sir.
CM: What is sustainable development?
Me: Satisfying the need of the present generation without sacrificing the needs of the coming
generations.
CM: how can it be done?
Me: by rational and restraint utilization of resources.
CM: so basically it is utilization of resources.
Me: Yes sir
CM: How can we integrate so called indigenous knowledge?
Me: sir we cannot solve the entire problems with indigenous knowledge but it can be integrated in a
way we have been trying to integrate AYUSH with allopathy medicine.
CM: say me one area where we can apply indigenous knowledge in farming.
Me: I am not sure.
CM: make some guess
Me: BT plants etc.
CM: no no...........think
CM: Algae cultivate in a water and add it the field thats it.
Me: yes sir organic farming is one of the examples of use of indigenous knowledge.
M1: so you have an optional of anthropology.
Me: Yes sir.
M1: Explain me the relation between anthropology and other disciplines. Start with Archaeology.
Me: both are concerned with emergence of human being and process of civilization.
Sociology and anthropology are concerned with man as a social animal.....but basic difference is
anthropology is considered abt holistic study of man.
M1: how old is anthropology.
Me: it is of recent origin abt 100 years old.
M1: how would u use anthro as an IAS officer?
Me: It is helpful in policy making and implementation.
For example adult education was started with great objectives but could not achieve the objectives
because people adults thinking that they will lose respect if someone see them as school going
children.......similarly in case of chicken pox they still believe it is a course of god......in this areas
anthro field studies can help us to understand the problems to effectively implement the policy.
M2(killed me with geo questions): Anil have u observed the map on u r right side on wall.
Me: Yes sir.
M2: there are rivers on western side such as narmada, tapi etc..And on eastern side Krishna,
Godavari, kaveri, Mahanadi etc...Why do eastern rivers form delta and western rivers form estuaries.
Me: because of presence of Western Ghats which are continuous where as Eastern Ghats are not as
continues as Western Ghats and because of geology of the structure on which they flow.
M2: yea this also point what is the exact reason make a guess.
Me: thought for a moment and said sorry sir i could not.
M2: see anil what i will do i will dam the entire rivers without even allowing single drop of water to
reach the sea...........what are the implications?
Me: because of this silting will increase and water carrying capacity will decrease leading to floods
and in addition it affects biodiversity of the rivers and cause water disputes between states.
M2: Its ok.....no water disputes because i am damming full water so plenty of water available what
are the implications. Make a guess?
Me: i repeated that entire thing such as silting, biodiversity etc...
CM(intervened and prompted me the answer): Loss of biodiversity etc...Then he said ok leave abt it
here madam you proceed
M3(lady member): Anil we have been discussing about tribes quite a bit let me know which one do u
like earlier tribal legislations and forest rights Act 2006. Which one does u like the most?
Me: I like Forest rights Act 2006.
M3: why?
Me: Madam, it has rectified their earlier loop holes. Such as giving rights on the land to the
tribes and giving right on minor forest produce. Because these were the major causes of the land
alienation and hard ships of the tribes.
M3: even there are some objections to forest tights act 2006... Are u aware of it?
Me: No madam i don’t have idea.
M3: she asked some name who is working in Maharashtra who is working for the tribes in bringing
down their mortality rate.
Me: Madam I don’t know.
M3: She started saying about him to chairman...sir he has been working since decade to bring down
the infant mortality rate among the tribes after reaching to a certain level he could not bring it down
further.....he has been working from years and he could not.
Me: I said that there is an attitude barrier which has to be overcome if we want to achieve our
objects. After all these attitudes are developed from centuries and even it is futile to accept that
these attitudes can be changed in a decade or two.
CM: Ok Ok leave it here.
