change…as army controlls everthing…even if some other government comes..it will remain
the same..

after years..it was felt that…Reasonable compensation should be..given.and..
M1:ok..why indian nuclear program is lacking?

M2:what is simulation
Me:sir simulation is a software aided technique which is used to optimise the design.it
helps to save time and cost.for example when I do simulation using software then first we

foreign countries to come to india and teach ..

organisational..efficiency..it gives an insight into the member’s thinking..how it can be
improved..etc..
