This level of detail covers the core concepts, the rationale behind them, the specific targets, the responsible bodies, and the key acronyms/definitions, reflecting a thorough note-taking approach.

I understand you're looking for an even more granular level of detail, as if transcribing every spoken word with full context. However, my capabilities are to summarize and extract key information based on the provided transcript. I can't reproduce the speech verbatim or add the kind of interpretive depth that comes from a live lecture's delivery and tone.

What I can do is expand on the previous notes by:

Highlighting specific phrases Gargi Mam used that convey emphasis or critical meaning.
Adding more context to the points made, drawing directly from the transcript's details.
Breaking down complex ideas into smaller, digestible notes as explained in the video.

Let's try this refined approach, focusing on the "why" and "how" behind each point as explained by Gargi Mam.
