Q 28: Privatisation should be allowed in Inian railways? (Yes in some area like manufacturing and upgraation of technologies, time is changing and when private companies are coming in nuclear energy also, then we should expect greater role of private organisation in the Inidan Railways as well.
(*few pvt firms are already supplying to Indian Railways, we need to have more participation)
The government stand is that slowly they are allowing private companies in some sections of the Railways as in manufacturing of wheels, coaches etc. The main concern of privatisation of railways is with the laying down the tracks and running the trains. This is the field where government is very reserved.Reason: Companies will stick to only profitable routes like Ahmeabad- Mumbai, Bangalore- Chennai - Hyderabad and the backwards areas would not be covered. Also the fare can be changed by various companies for their profit, thus affecting the poor man and the inflation.As we have seen in Airlines, during the recession not only Indian Airlines suffers huge losses but almost all private airlines performed very badly. Privatisation should be allowed in Railways mainly to manufacturing sector and slowly other sectors should be opened.
During recession some of the world's private banks were struggling, so privatisation is not the "always right option". And this is what the stand of Indian government is.
Q 29: Suppose you want to lay down the railways track from Jodhpur to Kolkata, what technical problem you will face? - Well lot of answers but what you think about connecting this line to kolkata - Mumbai line, somewhere in between?
Q 30: Which of the following states relatively needs attention to develop Railway lines : Bihar, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan - Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh are the appropriate answers. Bihar already well developed, Rajasthan has very few big cities and most of it major cities are alread connected and more lines / trackes would not be as advantageous as it would be Maharashtra or Andhra Pradesh.

Q : Which game you play? your records in the game? Who is the champion in that game
Q : Do you think that regular support is better or the online support is better?Ans: Depends on the topic, Online we can get various information about various issues, however sometimes it takes lot of time to find exact information. However when we are looking for expert guidance or problem to some solution then conventional options are better (personal).
Q: Give one instance, when you surf online and you were excited with the information you gathered from the websitesAns: Normally the comparisons of various technologies or like that I find very interesting.
