UPSC Interview by Chethan (Manbir Singh Board)
This was my 2nd interview and was also my 2nd attempt in UPSC exam. In my 1st interview in 2013 I could not make it to the final list, but gracefully I have made it in the 2nd attempt. I had my interview on 5th June 2014 and that was the last of this year’s interview. One bad thing about this was that I had to wait for more than two and half months for my interview after my Mains result and the good thing about this was that the final results were out within one week after my interview was over i.e, on 12th June 2014.
I already told you that my interview was on last day, it was not only last day but also the last session. My interview was in the afternoon session. Since it was the last day and the last session, the board members were doing their job in an accelerated manner and my interview was just for around 20 minutes.
Here is the transcript of my interview.
- Board : Manbir Singh
- Date: 5th June 2014
- Time: Around 3.40 PM to 4.00 PM
Manbir Singh Sir :
1. What are the provisions of the Food Security Act(FSA)?
2. Govt is spending a lot on FSA, instead the same money can be spent for
providing education and employment to the people and thereby we can empower them
to earn their own food. What is your view on this? Is the FSA necessary?
