An applicant for a Tatkal Passport is required to file a Verification Certificate issued in his favour by the prescribed Govt. Official. The said certificate is only in respect of moral character and reputation of the applicant. So far so good. However it is ridiculous when the applicant who is an infant aged only 6 months is also required to file such a certificate. I think this certificate should not be needed from any applicant below the age of atleast 5 years, if not more.

Food served in Indian railways pantry cars are dirty. The pantry cars people maintain no hygiene. This have been reported my many media channels before and now also. These food vendors should not play with passenger's health. rather then giving more trains focus should be on improving food quality and security for passengers. I request suresh prabhuji to something on this side of indian railways also.

Moringa has been claimed to be a Perfect Example of Third World ‘Producing What it does Not Use’ and ‘Increasingly Using What it does Not Produce’. There are plenty of references validating the claim. Can we take it as a project do plantations across highways and in rural areas. Can such a project not produce job opportunities for many?

Moringa Oleifera grows rapidly to 3 meter height in 10 months. It can reach a height of 12 meters and tolerates a wide range of soils and raining conditions. Called ‘nebede’, the plant which never ‘dies’, it can nourish children, women and all alike.

Disparity in income makes India a unique country where the seemingly contradictory problem of childhood obesity and malnourishment coexists. Taking vitamin pills is a poor option when the same can be obtained from food. Surprisingly leaves of a plant named ‘Moringa Oleifera’, also known as ‘Drumstick’

Pollution, Mal nutrition are two main causes for various disorders in children right from foetus stage. providing effecient nutrition through anganvadies should be made effective. using of polluted water, oil in preparation of food should be controlled, food inspectors and anganwadies are two important players but are ineffective and poor in action now a days in their duties.By effective working of this two this we can control some in born metabolism disorders in children. THANK U
