I have been privilege to hear live address of PM Modi in Sydney at AllPhonesArena. Our Dear PM picked up the right notes and received thunderous applause from the crowd. I would like to touch upon two key areas which have not been talked about. The Annual Remittance globally is over 430 billion dollars of Which India receive over 70 billion dollars each year. High Transaction cost for remittance need to be looked at to receive more remittances and in turn more dollars.

Other key areas would be- Tourist grievances center & crisis hotline setup. Where they can reach for any issues, help & critical situation.. Security in india is a challenge and it will take few years to bring law and order in control but this kind of grievances cell will be immediate solution to build the confidence of tourist and will enable them to move one step towards india tourism. BUT we really need an effective one 24*7, 365 days.. Part of visa charges can be used to fund this center.

Here are few key suggestions i would like to suggest. This is based on my experience here in Singapore as well the countries where i have visited.. I understand the visa on arrival is not that easy for all countries but can we plan to introduce something like E-Visa.. Its an tech era and doesnt make too much sense to queue up in embassy to get a visa.. For eg. Sg visa can be applied online & u will get approval in 8 hrs.. Yes you need local sponsor. Its give ease to tourist and enable them.

Getting a visa needs to change, firstly online applications does not help elderly people or people who do not use the internet plus others are profiting off this pitfall. The price has doubled and no reason has been given. Then the employees when trying to get the visa are unhelpful and rude. You cannot enhance tourism when the first step has become the hardest for everyone not just NRI's.

Please allow all the NRI's to invest( large OR small ), to the project of their choice for their own Town/state .It will be better if it can be put directly through the banks, taking funds for different project of partcular Town & state .

I believe that if one NRI can adopt a village in India and develop it especially the village he belongs to, that would really boost India by developing those villages

Modiji, Janta 125 crore, if Indian donate (volunteer) Rs 1 per/month Govt. can collect Rs 125 crores per/month. Lot of criticism 4 this Idea, but within 4-5 yrs economy will be strong. NRI $1 p/m Scheme Name "V R Govt.-Right 2 Ask" Hindi "Hum Hai Sarkar- Puchhane ka Adhikar (A/c. Janne Ka Adhikar). Ambassadors collect the money As per Visa & Tehsildar collect as per population in the region. Rich people can donate more 2 compensate who enable 2 participate. Manohar Bhojwani 250786130234
