00:00Namaskar, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this session of India Today Conclave.
00:05It's been a long time since we've had English.
00:07Now it's time for some Hindi.
00:11Our country's name is India.
00:14If this session is named, India will grow.
00:17And this name, India,
00:19the ancestor who has come from India,
00:22when we think about him, the first image that comes to our mind
00:27is of a brave boy who is counting the teeth of a lion.
00:33We heard this story in our childhood.
00:36This story was written by a scholar named Narayan,
00:41about 1300 years ago.
00:44The name of the book is Hitopdesh.
00:46You may have read it in your childhood or your children are reading it now.
00:50The shloka is in Sanskrit. I'll tell you its Hindi meaning.
00:54And after that, we'll start the session.
00:56The shloka is in Sanskrit.
01:04It means,
01:07by working, by producing, by being industrious,
01:10only then the work of the mind is completed.
01:14A deer doesn't fit in a lion's mouth while sitting.
01:19It has to be hunted.
01:22India is growing because India is producing.
01:26Today, we'll introduce you to three stories of India.
01:31First of all, I would like to invite
01:34the young farmer from Chhattisgarh,
01:37who joined the young boys and girls
01:42who were eager to take the path of Naxalism
01:46and established Buster Foods.
01:48Please welcome Razia Sheikh to the stage.
01:57BUSTER FOODS
02:02Our second guest has come from Bihar.
02:05There was a time when a term was coined in the program,
02:10Bimaru States.
02:12And Bimaru was also called for Bihar.
02:15But that time has passed.
02:17Bihar is making its place with new aspirations.
02:22And one of the greatest stories of the changing Bihar
02:28is the story of the Bihar Museum,
02:31one of the world's greatest museums.
02:34And to share that story with us,
02:38we have the additional director of the Bihar Museum,
02:40Ashok Kumar Sinha.
02:42Please come, sir.
02:53The world is about to move forward.
02:55People think that America has moved forward.
02:57That's why everyone wants to go to that great dream.
03:00It is very possible that the next time
03:01you are walking on the streets of Manhattan
03:04discussing stock exchange or geopolitics,
03:08your shoulder will bump into a Sanskrit scholar.
03:12And it is very possible that that Sanskrit scholar
03:15has studied in Rajasthan's so-called backward
03:19and backward district, Churu.
03:23Today, we will change you.
03:25If India is made, it will grow.
03:26The third story that we are going to share in India
03:29is the story of some Churu industrialists
03:32who decided that a university will be built here
03:35where ancient education will be taught in a new way.
03:39It will be taught in a gurukul style,
03:42with a computer lab.
03:44I would like to invite Rajeev Marda,
03:46a board member of the Churu Dharmasangh University.
04:09Mr. Ashok,
04:11the people of UP and Bihar think that
04:12we should be the first to come here.
04:15So, let's start with you.
04:18There are many stereotypes about Bihar.
04:21Some are right, some are wrong.
04:23I will not get involved in statistics.
04:26What is the story of the Bihar Museum?
04:28Because the pictures that come from Bihar
04:31are usually very powerful.
04:32They are not very big and world-class.
04:36To give such an example every time,
04:38we have to go to the past.
04:39Bihar was a great empire.
04:42It was the largest university in the world.
04:46How does the story of the Bihar Museum begin?
04:50Patna Museum was already there.
04:53It was established in 1917.
04:55But Bihar, which was the center of art and culture,
05:00as you said, from the Maurya period to the Gupta period,
05:04the Pal period, Bihar was the center.
05:07Naturally, the number of artists was very high in Patna Museum.
05:10So, the problem was how to consolidate it in Patna Museum.
05:16It would take at least 3-4 days to see any artist in Patna Museum.
05:22So, the government decided to build a new museum
05:26that would be of international significance.
05:27The Bihar Museum was established in 2015.
05:34But there is another reason behind this.
05:36The Mithila Museum is in Japan.
05:41In Japan?
05:42The Mithila Museum is in Niigata, Japan.
05:45It was established by Tokyo Hasegawa of Japan.
05:49He is a great art collector.
05:51He has done it.
05:52There is a collection of about 10,000 Bihar artworks.
05:58So, when he used to take artists from Bihar,
06:01artists from Mithila Paintings, Terracotta, Padmashree,
06:07he used to get them to work for 3-3.5 months and get paintings made.
06:11But he always used to give excuses.
06:14When you have to see your paintings,
06:18the people of Bihar, the people of India,
06:20the artists of Bihar,
06:22you have to come to Japan, Niigata.
06:25You don't have a museum.
06:26But I can proudly say that after the establishment of the Bihar Museum,
06:31there is no need to give excuses.
06:34Bihar Museum is the most prosperous and the most international human rights museum in India.
06:40Ashokji, when you talk about international human rights,
06:44how big is it?
06:45How much did it cost?
06:46It is made up of 14 acres.
06:49The Bihar Museum is made up of 14 acres.
06:52The Bihar Museum costs around 800 crores.
06:56Yes.
06:57Is there a connection with Japan for its construction?
07:00Yes, there is a connection with Japan.
07:02All the museums in the country,
07:06are either from the British era or from the time of King Mahajan.
07:10So, there was a big gap as to what kind of museum would be made.
07:15For its concept, we did a global tender.
07:19We did a global tender.
07:20And for the concept design of a Canadian institution,
07:25a Canadian institution was selected to design the concept.
07:32It designed the concept.
07:33And as an architect, a Japanese institution, Maki and Associates.
07:38Maki and Associates selected a Japanese institution.
07:41And L&T, Larsen & Toubro, constructed the Bihar Museum.
07:48I will come back to you to know about those artists
07:52who are featured or trained in the Bihar Museum.
07:56Razia, whenever we hear the mention of Bastar,
08:00we feel that it is a pit of Naxalites which is no longer true.
08:03They are continuously decreasing.
08:05What was the story of the people you recruited for Bastar Foods,
08:10especially the girls you recruited?
08:14I started my career from Bijapur area.
08:20Bijapur is a Naxal city as everyone knows.
08:25A kid asked me,
08:28Madam, it would have been better if we became Naxalites after 10th grade.
08:32So, we would have earned at least Rs. 20,000 per month.
08:34So, the kids knew that if we became Naxalites after 10th grade,
08:41we would have earned Rs. 20,000.
08:43So, they recruit both boys and girls.
08:45Yes, both are recruited.
08:47But they don't know that if they study and work hard,
08:50it is not necessary that they have to do government jobs.
08:53They can do something on their own.
08:55So, this question hit me a lot.
08:59So, I said, why are we asking for help from the government?
09:03We can also do something.
09:04Because we also had a good education.
09:06So, I decided that we will bring a new change.
09:11We will make a platform where we will train the youngsters of the interior areas.
09:17And we will connect them with self-employment.
09:20And we will also tell them where there are funds,
09:23which can be utilized to generate self-employment.
09:26Then we started foot training.
09:28We started with the flowers of Maui in the jungle.
09:31So, this is how we became known.
09:34So, that kid's name is Vikas.
09:36And there was another girl with him whose name was Budhri.
09:40So, these are the kids from the Naxal areas
09:43who don't know where there are facilities.
09:46Now that the roads have been built, they have come to know.
09:49So, it is changing.
09:50A form of our bastar is changing.
09:52Very interesting.
09:54Most of the people sitting here are very intellectual people
09:59and very calorie conscious people too.
10:01You were showing us your products,
10:03in which there was a ladoo made of Mahua.
10:07Please tell them, why should they consume Mahua ladoo?
10:10Nowadays, in metro cities, everyone is like health conscious.
10:14Everyone knows.
10:15But they don't know about Mahua.
10:17This has been in our Ayurveda since we know Ramji and Sitaji.
10:21So, in exile, Ramji and Sitaji also ate Mahua.
10:24They ate it because it is a priceless heritage of nature.
10:28And in today's modern area, if we see,
10:30we have found this because I am a microbiologist.
10:33So, I look at everything from the perspective of research.
10:36So, I saw that Mahua has a lot of calcium.
10:39In today's times, we are very conscious about the pain in the body,
10:43the bone health.
10:45If we talk about gut health,
10:48if we talk about hormonal imbalances,
10:51so, nature has given us Mahua as a medicine.
10:55All the elements in it,
10:57high-rich protein, iron,
11:00for iron, we give iron tablets in Anganwadi,
11:05so that pregnant women get iron.
11:08Iron is also given to lactating mothers.
11:11But this iron is available in our nature, in Mahua flower.
11:14So, Mahua has iron, calcium, protein, other minerals.
11:18So, I am the biggest example.
11:20My hemoglobin level is 14 grams.
11:22And I donate blood 2 to 3 times a year.
11:25So, I can proudly say that Mahua is highly nutritious.
11:29Very true.
11:32Mr. Rajiv, whenever we talk about Churu,
11:36it is said that it is politically active,
11:39but there is not much to do.
11:41In such a situation, when the children studying in Churu,
11:44migrate to Manhattan,
11:46it seems like a very strange story.
11:48How did this Dharma Nyas Sangh start?
11:51And how did you feel that without government help,
11:54we can run such a big institution?
11:57I will tell you a small background.
12:00In 1971-72, there was a religious movement in Churu.
12:05In that movement,
12:07three Shankaracharyas,
12:09from Varanasi to Karpatriji Maharaj,
12:11and their disciples were Swami Shivanandji Saraswati,
12:14who is also our founder of this Gurukul.
12:17When that movement ended, Shivanandji said,
12:20for me, Churu is now Kashi.
12:23I will stay here and the children of the deprived society,
12:26I would like to teach them.
12:28And he was very knowledgeable about Vedas,
12:32and he said, I will give Vedic education here,
12:34whose medium is Sanskrit.
12:36Now culturally he was very rich,
12:38because he had a lot of knowledge.
12:40If he was not financially rich,
12:42then how did the Gurukul start?
12:44So my grandfather was very active at that time,
12:46and he was also in the movement,
12:48and he was also a good social worker.
12:51So he said,
12:53the open courtyard outside the house,
12:55is called Nohra.
12:57So from the Nohra of my house,
12:59the Gurukul started with seven children.
13:01And after a year or a year and a half,
13:03my grandfather bought the land,
13:05and donated it for the Gurukul.
13:07So this is how it started.
13:09And gradually, today it has been 52 years,
13:11the Gurukul is going on.
13:13Recently we have broken the entire Gurukul,
13:15according to today's needs.
13:17Because with time,
13:19the needs change.
13:22Sir, the infrastructure facilities,
13:24earlier it was a small mansion.
13:26Now when we felt that the children have grown up,
13:28we should make a room here,
13:30we made a room.
13:32Now the room has become smaller,
13:34bigger, we did not understand.
13:36Now what we have made,
13:38a structure of 10,000 square feet,
13:40double storey,
13:42there are classrooms in it,
13:44dormitories for children,
13:46there is a library,
13:48we have introduced computer education,
13:50there is a Yagyashala, which is covered,
13:52because in Churu, it is very hot,
13:54I don't know if you know or not.
13:56In summer, the temperature goes up to 52-53 degrees,
13:58and in winter, it goes up to minus 3-4.
14:00So we made a covered Yagyashala,
14:02separated their food,
14:04and there is a warden's room.
14:06All the facilities that should be there in the Gurukul,
14:08according to today's needs,
14:10we have put all that in the environment.
14:12What background do the children come from,
14:14who come to study?
14:16Are they from the economically weaker section, sir?
14:18Sir, weaker is still a very positive word.
14:20They are from a very weaker section.
14:22They come from such a section,
14:24where there is a struggle of living day and night.
14:26So those children come,
14:28and we don't charge anything from kids.
14:30Their entire stay, food,
14:32drinking, everything,
14:34the trust of the Gurukul,
14:36and our donors, they take it.
14:38Recently, when we started this,
14:40after the new renovation,
14:42we started a student adoption program.
14:44So one child spends 50,000 rupees
14:46in one year.
14:48So our Guruji came,
14:50and he said, one lakh rupees from me,
14:52for the Gurukul.
14:54So suddenly a thought came to my mind,
14:56why don't we do an adoption program?
14:58At that time, all the people were there,
15:00we requested them,
15:02that this is how we are,
15:04and this is the expense of a child.
15:06And a course of 8 years is basic.
15:08So we said, 4 lakhs for a child,
15:10and 50,000 for a year.
15:12And in that Gurukul,
15:14there is computer education,
15:16English education, etc.
15:18What is the story behind
15:20getting your child to America?
15:22Sir, after 8 years of education,
15:24the child becomes a Shastri.
15:26Shastri means, you can say, graduate.
15:28And if they study for 2 more years,
15:30they become Acharya, which is B.Ed.
15:32Most of the people, after completing
15:34their Shastri education,
15:36they start living their lives very well.
15:38Many people got a chance,
15:40some went to America,
15:42some to London, some to Singapore.
15:44One of them is Mr. Virender Shastri,
15:46who is in New York.
15:48He has been there for many years,
15:50and has become a citizen there.
15:52So the Hindu community there,
15:54whenever there is a Pooja at home,
15:56we want it to be very pure.
15:58We don't want anyone to come
16:00and recite any Mantra.
16:02We are very careful about this.
16:04No matter what the program is.
16:06So they got a chance there,
16:08a person took them there.
16:10It can't come to your mind,
16:12because there is no such environment.
16:14I wanted to understand the employability.
16:16Razia, America is being mentioned.
16:18With the help of Buster Foods,
16:20you went to San Francisco.
16:22Tell us that story.
16:24I never thought that
16:26a wild girl from Buster could go to the US.
16:28But that one is a very great opportunity.
16:30The research we did on Mauve,
16:32I presented it to a foundation,
16:34Motwani Jadeja Foundation.
16:36They liked our work a lot,
16:38and gave us a fellowship.
16:40At that time, there was no direction in life.
16:42Where to go, what to do.
16:44So when we reached the US,
16:46we were in the US for a month.
16:48Ana Jana Foundation sponsored us.
16:50There we saw the start-up culture.
16:52How is the start-up world?
16:54A start-up can be done from a garage,
16:56which has got a very good name
16:58in the global market.
17:00If we talk about Facebook, Google,
17:02then we tried to bring that world
17:04into Buster.
17:06So after coming back from the US,
17:08the things we saw there,
17:10then I started my career
17:12from my father's storeroom.
17:14My father gave me some space in his storeroom,
17:16and I established a lab there.
17:18And started research.
17:20The minor producers in the forest,
17:22Mahua, Imli, Kaju, Chironji,
17:24there are many such forest minor producers
17:26who have a very good impact on health.
17:28And all these are in the jungles of
17:30Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh?
17:32Chironji or other produce?
17:34It is in every jungle.
17:36Every jungle is full of treasures.
17:38It just needs recognition.
17:40So we started this work in Buster.
17:42In that lab only,
17:44we started the work of value addition.
17:46And the product that we are making today,
17:48is also available in the global market.
17:50And we are also getting licenses.
17:52So people are appreciating it.
17:54They are eating it.
17:56And it is healthy too.
17:58I want to understand that
18:00when you start this kind of business
18:02how does the infrastructure help?
18:04Like you said earlier,
18:06roads are also reaching.
18:08Government schemes,
18:10bank schemes,
18:12roads, and other finance,
18:14how do they contribute?
18:16If you talk about Buster Foods,
18:18our raw material comes from
18:20Bijapur, Sukma, Dantewada,
18:22and Buster, all these areas.
18:24You also know, Katekalyan,
18:26Aydin, Naxalite, Wardath.
18:28Going to these villages is very challenging.
18:30How will the roads be?
18:32There could be a blast in the rocks.
18:34There could be a bomb under a rock.
18:36Many people are scared of this.
18:38But we are used to it now.
18:40So we send a message to the villagers
18:42that keep the raw material collected.
18:44We are sending a vehicle.
18:46So the vehicles reach in 1-2 hours
18:48because of these roads.
18:50Is the road connectivity better?
18:52It is very good.
18:54Because of this,
18:56it is easy to bring the raw material to the factory site.
18:58And it is also easy to deliver the finished material.
19:00For example, this finished material
19:02is coming to Delhi.
19:04And if we talk about abroad,
19:06the clients going to the US or Australia
19:08need this product.
19:10So within 3 days, these products reach their door.
19:12So that kind of facilities
19:14we are getting through these roads.
19:16And if we talk about employability,
19:18how many women are there
19:20who are directly or indirectly connected to this work?
19:22More than 700 females
19:24are connected with this venture.
19:26They collect raw material for us.
19:28And near about
19:301500-2000 farmers
19:32are connected to this
19:34from Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
19:36They collect mahova, tamarind
19:38for us.
19:40Interesting.
19:44Mr. Ashok, it is often said
19:46that the government makes big buildings
19:48and establishments.
19:50But the motive behind building
19:52these institutions,
19:54the declared motive,
19:56is not fulfilled.
19:58Through Bihar Museum,
20:00how are the artists
20:02in Bihar and nearby areas
20:04getting platforms and help?
20:06Can you give some examples?
20:08Let me tell you that
20:10Bihar Museum has changed
20:12the definition of a museum.
20:14In the sense that
20:16a museum is considered
20:18to be a collection of
20:20historical and ancient art.
20:22But Bihar Museum
20:24is also a collection of
20:26ancient art.
20:28But there are always new exhibitions
20:30in Bihar Museum.
20:32For example,
20:34we have held
20:36more than 100
20:38restorative exhibitions
20:40in the past 5-6 years
20:42for the famous artists
20:44of the country and the world.
20:46We have invited
20:48a lot of people to Bihar Museum.
20:50We have held exhibitions
20:52for children, music,
20:54and dance.
20:56Bihar Museum is the
20:58first museum in the country
21:00that organizes
21:02Museum Biennale.
21:04Every two years,
21:06Bihar Museum Biennale
21:08is held in the month of August.
21:10People from all over the world
21:12meet, see, understand,
21:14and donate their art
21:16through their culture
21:18to Bihar Museum.
21:20Sir, when I went to Bihar Museum
21:22for the first time
21:24during my election campaign,
21:26there were lines of children.
21:28Do children from Kishanganj,
21:30Purnia, Gopalganj,
21:32and other districts
21:34come to Bihar Museum?
21:36Or only children from Patna come?
21:38No, children from all over Bihar come.
21:40Almost 2000 people
21:42come to Bihar Museum
21:44every day.
21:46Even though there is a ticket
21:48for 100 rupees,
21:502000 people come to Bihar Museum
21:52every day.
21:54On weekends,
21:56the number goes up to 5000.
21:5840% of the visitors
22:00are children.
22:02School children,
22:04and other children.
22:06If you go to any museum,
22:08it says,
22:10don't touch.
22:12But we have provided
22:14a guide for children.
22:16Our children section
22:18is very modern.
22:20It shows how
22:22an ancient art form
22:24is excavated
22:26and how it is
22:28discovered.
22:30The children are taught there.
22:32Let's talk about
22:34art in Bihar.
22:36First of all,
22:38Madhubani and Manjusha
22:40are mentioned.
22:42We know that
22:44Madhubani is from
22:46the village of Mithila.
22:48Madhubani is from the village of Mithila.
22:50Madhubani is from the village of Mithila.
22:52What kind of platform
22:54does the museum give to their art?
22:56Can you tell us some stories?
22:58Bihar is a state
23:00where there are the most
23:02Padmashri's in folk art.
23:04In Bihar, there are 16
23:06Padmashri's in folk art.
23:08As far as I know,
23:10Madhubani painting
23:12or Mithila painting
23:14has 9 Padmashri's.
23:16Out of 9,
23:18there are 8 women.
23:20In Bihar, there are
23:22approximately 100,000
23:24folk artists.
23:26Out of that, there are 40,000
23:28Mithila painting artists.
23:30As per Mithila painting,
23:32there are 9 Padmashri's.
23:34We have a long connection
23:36with them.
23:38As much as they are respected
23:40in other states,
23:42we get a lot of respect
23:44that they are artists
23:46of Mithila painting.
23:482-3 years ago,
23:50we went to Mauritius.
23:52We have a Padmashri with us,
23:54Bhavadevi, who got
23:56her Padmashri in 2017.
23:58The President invited us
24:00for dinner.
24:02During dinner, the President
24:04said that he will honor everyone.
24:06When I told him that
24:08there is a Padmashri of Mithila painting
24:10from Bihar, he told me
24:12not to invite him.
24:14He went up
24:16and bowed to him.
24:18He honored him and said
24:20that he is honored
24:22to have a Padmashri of Mithila painting
24:24from Bihar in his house.
24:26I have seen such welcome
24:28of Bihar artists in other states.
24:30Thank you, sir.
24:32Thank you for sharing this story.
24:34Last question.
24:36What kind of challenges
24:38do you face?
24:40How to make it bigger?
24:42We have seen challenges
24:44since day one.
24:46We started this journey
24:48not only in Maui,
24:50but also in Agro.
24:52We were not supported
24:54by banks
24:56because it was
24:58a new concept.
25:00We did not give up.
25:02We invested the money
25:04that we got from sales.
25:06I invested some money
25:08that my father had saved
25:10for my wedding.
25:12I had faith that
25:14I will not get it back
25:16if I invest it in my business.
25:18I invested money
25:20but I got more than that.
25:22Today, the value of a company
25:24is 1 CR.
25:26I showed this to my children
25:28and people started trusting me.
25:30How much loan do you need?
25:32The first support
25:34we got was
25:36PMFME scheme.
25:38We got the fund
25:40from PMFME scheme.
25:42We got that amount.
25:44After that,
25:46our production increased.
25:48We are happy that
25:50our sales are increasing day by day.
25:52More girls from our
25:54interior areas
25:56and boys from
25:58other areas
26:00are coming to take training.
26:02More than 4,000 students
26:04have taken training.
26:06This process
26:08is increasing.
26:10There are challenges
26:12but we have solutions.
26:14We are happy that
26:16we are ready to face such challenges.
26:20All the best.
26:22Whenever we talk about
26:24Gurukul, people think
26:26that it is a self-reliant scripture
26:28which some people have been
26:30forced to study.
26:32When we hear about future plans
26:34like computer labs or new buildings,
26:36it seems like a new perspective.
26:38What are the challenges
26:40in running a Gurukul like this?
26:42What are the spiritual
26:44and religious aspirations
26:46of the new age clientele?
26:48What are the
26:50spiritual and religious
26:52aspirations of the new age clientele?
26:54How are you planning
26:56syllabus,
26:58students and training?
27:02Our Gurukul
27:04affiliation is
27:06Sampoornanand Vishwavidyalaya Varanasi
27:08which is as old as
27:10BHU.
27:12Hindi and English
27:14are elementary.
27:16We have added English,
27:18Mathematics, Indian Classical Music,
27:20Vocal Instrumental and
27:22Computer Education.
27:24We don't want students to feel left out.
27:26Only Sanskrit education
27:28will not work in the future.
27:30It is a Vedic practice
27:32and a way of life.
27:34There are 16
27:36Sanskars in human life
27:38from birth to death.
27:40I don't know if you know or not.
27:42There are different types of
27:44rituals and rituals.
27:46It is important to
27:48combine modern education
27:50with English.
27:52English is very challenging
27:54because students are left out.
27:56Even today in Rajasthan,
27:58in a city like Churu,
28:00Hindi is fine,
28:02but English is a big challenge
28:04for them.
28:06We want more students
28:08to do their name,
28:10eat well,
28:12earn well,
28:14establish themselves well
28:16and run a Gurukul there.
28:18We are in trade surplus,
28:20but we want more students.
28:22From Churu to Shastri,
28:24from Jagdalpur to Mahua,
28:26from Bihar to Manjusha and Madhubani.
28:28Mr. Razia is very lucky
28:30to have flowers from Mahua.
28:32In Churu, we only got cactus and thorns.
28:34It was very challenging.
28:36Life is very colourful in dreams.
28:38In reality, it is black and white.
28:40When we made the Gurukul,
28:42students used to run away.
28:44They studied for a year,
28:46then Sanskrit,
28:48then at 4.30 in the morning,
28:50students ran away.
28:52It is a big challenge.
28:54Slowly, there is stability.
28:56We hope that
28:58students will join
29:00the new infrastructure.
29:02We got a commitment of
29:041.25 crore in an hour.
29:06We started getting money.
29:08More people started joining.
29:10Churu is an odd place.
29:12I don't think anyone
29:14has ever been to Churu.
29:16It is a 5-hour walk from here.
29:18Come and see the Gurukul.
29:20You will like it.
29:22If it is built, India will grow.
29:24If you allow me,
29:26I would like to say a few lines.
29:28Yes, of course.
29:30Poets should be respected
29:32in every state.
29:34I am a Shaukhiya poet.
29:36We fought the storms and
29:38reached here.
29:40The new foundation
29:42of Churu is a sign.
29:44In this changing time,
29:46we have a commitment of
29:48a new India.
29:50If it grows, India will grow.
29:52This is our goal.
29:54Ladies and gentlemen,
29:56If it grows, India will grow.
29:58This Satri ends here.
30:00Thank you very much
30:02to all three guests.
