Sir the whole India can be transformed in a digital India, where the government the can track the person life activity without letting him visit the administration office for every work. For example - when a child is born he has just registered himself at the administration office, then that data is everywhere to use for the administrative purpose to track his life activity including money, carrer, education and death proof. Within 2 eyars the india can become Digital and corruption free.

Our currency notes should be connected to a Blockchain implementing digital currency methodology as has been put to use in the widely acclaimed bitcoin digital currency network.One could easily keep a track and check on black as well as fakes by interlacing a bar code sort of identification address designated to each currency unit separately .The whole block of transactions done on that specific currency note is connected to blockchain system at each point of exchange and transaction

One does not actively take part in digital payment services until he gets proper assurance about its features and its framework only if its designed and in such a way that it can cater to his needs but in such a way that it serves him as an actual money that one can put to use at all points of day to day activities and in a conveniently vivid manner.It should be made more user friendly in terms of accessibility over several aspects of a digital wallet and a secure system to hedge hack

If all offices banks and private establishments shops are open 24 hours 365 days in three shifts This will create more employment less space equipment and furniture requirement in offices and establishments more output/ production faster disposal of work will be there in addition traffic will be distributed across 24 hours period hence congestion will be less and rush in the banks in the metro or buses will be less. Public don't have to wait for next day. law and order problem will be less.

Dear Sir, One of the biggest problems faced by citizens in urban cities of india is Traffic congestion, there are various reasons for Traffic congestion, but mainly i see 3 main areas 1) Population , 2) Unplanned/Narrow roads ,3) Traffic rule evaders !! To solve traffic rule evaders problem I am proposing usage of a smart IOT device fitted to every vehicle which track the vehicle traffic violation and penalize monetarily/driving history for each violation. Regards Hithesh

to promote cash less economy incentives may be given readily with every transaction and the incentives given may be adjusted in cess on cash withdrawals. cash transaction tax earlier introduced may be introduced in the form of cash withdrawal only tax. handling of cash is a big issue every where either in govt or in private business. Employees in all sectors can be encouraged to self cap the cash withdrawals by giving incentives.

adirniya pradhanmantri ji sadar pranam. its good ki technology ko kai tarike se use karke logo ko labh milega parantu aaj bhi rashan ki dukano pe lambee lines apne ghar ka chulha jalane ke intezaar main khade rehte hai. agar kisi vyakti ki haath ki lakire dhundlee ho jati hai kaam kar kar ke aur machine uske angoothe ke nishaan ko verify nahi kar pati to us samasya ko hal kitna hadh tak important hoga digitilization ki progress main.technology ko thoda aur easy going banane ki zarurat hai.
