ME: I discuss about economic survey report and projected growth for INDIA 8.5% and then agriculture sector growth (1-2%) which is very less compared to growth of other sectors and 70% of population which lives in rural area is directly depends on agriculture sector for their livelihood and hence growth of rural area is very important to reduce the gap between urban and rural areas.

That’s it...Interview lasted for last 25-30min....They said Ashwani you can leave now all the best to you.

I said thank you to all of them and left.

It was really a nice experience. I have appeared in various interview from banking to insurance but this experience was very special. I have strong desire to work with NABARD/RBI as their work culture is very different from banking sector and more over that they are apex intuitions.
