Do you share this view positively (Partially/Fully)? If not, please elucidate.
Fully!!

Should ‘Interface’ be Residential?
Yes

What should be the duration of ‘Interface’ (less than 3 years, 4 years, more than that?)
3 years

What should be the subjects / curriculum to be covered in this program?
I am 60 and too old to comment on this aspect.

What are the options for the Adhyayi‘s to pursue in the Loukika world apart from Vaideekam such that they are also able to conduct their anushtanam without fail?
Brahmins should accept Daanam and should give Daanam. It is imperative, that Brahmins should make money – for himself, his family’s well-being and also ‘yatha-shakti Daanam’. Let there be no hypocrisy about this and there should be no misgivings also. It is therefore obvious, that if the means are Dharmic and in line with the shastras, (as outlined in the question itself) any activity to his capability can be taken up. The occupation that they would eventually take up obviously would be in line with his ‘vaasana’.

What are the special skills required for the above?
All necessary skills to make a decent living and samskarams to mellow down his negative ‘vaasanas’ to lead a dharmic life

Would you be interested in further discussions on this issue? Would it be possible to ensure personal participation for discussions?
Yes

Any comments that you might want to add…
Even the Rishis who offered the Vedas and the Upanishads confirm that they are only mantra drashtas (mantra perceivers) not mantra karthas (mantra composers). They confirm that the Vedas existed even before them. Vedam therefore was / is ever existent. We should not/can not ‘Protect it’ per say by having few erudite scholars as ‘exclusive Palakaas’ and all other brahmins being ‘exclusive Poshakaas’.
Vedam should/can be promoted in the spirit “let’s learn/ practice Vedam to be the guiding force and derive goodness and all round prosperity out of it”. ‘Interface’ surely is an encouragement to learn Vedam in this spirit. - All the very best.
