0:53Speaker 3

We have four people.

0:56 – 1:58Speaker 6

Four are present. We will move on to our agenda. So, I understand that before accepting this agenda, some things need to be changed. So, make sure that it is right before that. Because we will take my two agenda items in a closed line. That's why we will remove them from there. And still, according to my understanding, according to the IAC report, one item, I think item A, which was notified to me, according to that, we will take them in a closed line. That's why we are going to place those three items in a closed line. So, I request that we accept the agenda to take those three related items in a closed line.

2:01Speaker 2

Is there anyone else? I support her.

2:06 – 2:19Speaker 6

The people on her side say yes. Some are against. Some are against. The proposal has been passed. I think we have lost Jennifer.

2:19 – 3:09Speaker 3

Yes, I think we have lost Jennifer. You will have to repeat the voice vote because it was dropped. Before joining you, we are making some changes in the agenda. According to my experience, my two items will be placed in the closed section. Along with the item A, according to the Aayukta report. That's why I request that we place those three items in the closed section and open the agenda. I have to say Prastav again because Jennifer was cut in the middle of our meeting.

3:11 – 3:25Speaker 4

So I request that we do a consultation in Magenday. Interrogate all three items on the same page. I support Prastav. Men, cheers.

3:48 – 4:25Speaker 6

Okay. So, okay. We're still okay. Jennifer, sorry. She went back. I'm sorry. The voice is coming. Our next task is to give permission to the workers sitting on the 20th of July. Did everyone get the opportunity to submit their work? Does anyone have any questions regarding those projects? I request that we give the project's approval on 20th July, 2026. Do you support it?

4:35Speaker 7

The next work is the report of the bill.

4:41 – 5:08Speaker 4

According to what I heard from the doctor, I asked him if he would like to give Sushi Liles a chance for the remaining six issues of this section because I still can't see them being connected. Children have not been able to connect at all till now.

5:12Speaker 6

We are still going through the audit process of the files.

5:39 – 5:50Speaker 7

I think you might be talking about Tony Carvin's letter in Bansatram. Am I right? Sierra?

5:54 – 7:21Speaker 5

Am I on mute? Am I on mute? No. Not at all. We're talking about that. So, in reality, as I am showing here, we are moving forward. However, the information that we will talk about will probably be in the closed section. For those who don't know, let me tell you that we will get the COB complaints back. We don't know what the outcome will be. That is why we will discuss this in the future. I am just telling everyone that this is a positive step in many directions. We had some previous complaints which have to be resolved and we have received complaints this year as well. That is why we are waiting to tell the legal department that how this whole process will be decided. We have For the situation of this matter, we are working in the direction of preparing a policy and process to move forward. This will be a very detailed report. So basically, we are moving forward. We are auditing. We are ensuring that everything is according to the directions and instructions set by the Ministry of Education and the Legal Department.

7:25 – 7:56Speaker 6

Okay. Thank you. Okay. So, we will move on to the next topic, which is the report of Jayaprasad. I request those two topics to be taken to the next level, because we have a lot of discussion on them. And I have taken advice from Parishad about this, because I don't want to keep this in the dark. So, the next topic on which we will move forward is the Sarvajanik Tipani. Isn't there any Sarvajanik group here? Are you okay? If I am wrong, correct me.

7:56Speaker 4

Look at the screen.

7:57 – 8:17Speaker 6

We can move forward and go to the last line. And if someone comes, then I think. Maybe after we come back, if someone is from the public and they want to speak,

8:22Speaker 3

Yes, you can save the time for later, because there was no one available.

8:28 – 8:49Speaker 4

Okay, done. Therefore, I request that we go to section 16, section 01, section 01, according to section 1, section 1, whose purpose is to get legal action on the case of Sarvajanik and Gopiniya or special rights.
