Dr Subhash Chandra said that using technology should do good to society. He added, "Humans are in three states - One is to be awake ..The second condition is sleeping ... dreaming .. The third condition is being in a deep sleep ...eing awake..sleeping and dreaming ... being in a deep sleep." 

"Let's work together ... Let's create new ideas..Why shouldn't we create a block chain of our own.. Everyone's thoughts are the same when watching a movie..Technology can be used to create such an idea..Drones are being used for deliveries today..Age reduction technology is also becoming available...There are pros and cons to technology
OTT, theaters will both continue in the future ...OTT adds the possibility of controlling the content..At one stage watching movies on VCRs..Now we are watching movies while controlling live on OTT."

Dr Subhash Chandra said that Gandhiji worked on the strength of villages. "Today the Constitution is not as it was envisioned by Mahatma Gandhi. The meaning of Gandhiji's Swaraj was to give control of governance at the village level." 

"Technology has a deep relationship with humans. For this it is necessary that the person should be understood first. It is said in Vedas that man lives in three states. In one waking state, the second stage is of dreaming and the third stage is when a person is asleep. At that time he is like a dead person. When we started Zee Tv in the 1990s, there has been a radical change in technology. There are many such things in history which have no relation with reality. An example of this is that as it is said that Maharana Pratap was defeated in the battle with the Mughals. But it is not true. When research was done, it was found that Maharana Pratap had defeated the Mughals. The historical evidence of this is known to Jodhpur University and other people who are doing research on it," Dr Chandra said.

"With regard to technology, I want to say one thing that just as good and evil go together, in the same way technology can also be used for good and bad works. Therefore, while technology will be used for good, it can also be used for evil," he added.
