Respected P.M., I have thought of ways to make digital india operational in the most effective way.Since the major concern of a digitalised india is education in the rural areas,i have an idea to tackle this issue.To teach the rural population,teams of youngsters can be formed in each and every rural area.The youngsters who volunteer for the same can be arranged in an order of hierarchy to operate the same.Benefits can also be attached with this job(opportunity for employment). #Iamready

Respected PM - The student have to carry books to school which had which has weight. I have suggestion for Educational Android Application Student can apply for digital Library were book are stored in digital form. The student need not have to carry books to school they can store the books In there account. For this Government need to created e-text book library for each class once it is done it can be provided to student on nominal fees so the burden of carrying books will be completely resolve

The country is on a fast-track of economic reforms. The cashless economy is a step further in this direction which is a welcome step. It is not only transparent but convenient as well. However, to achieve the goal we need to have a foolproof digital system without flaw at a reasonable rate. A fast, accurate, seamless, secure and reliable internet is the need of time. People have to be assured about this too.

Grocery shops, small traders etc. interact with both grassroot and wholeseller/large traders/manufacturer. Ensuring small traders install POS and transact digitally will have positive impact towards 'Cashless India'. These shop owners may be incentivized by crediting extra 2% of transaction value to their account! It will have positive impact in long run.Also we can think of prepaid cards which when recharged, credits 10% extra (like Metro rail recharge cards)-its easy and help stop card frauds.

Once I was interviewing one candidate who had diploma degree from some polytechnic college, his knowledge about subject was less than zero. I felt extremely disappointed what our institutions are doing. they are not less harmful than terrorist to our country. Sense of Patriotism is eliminated from people. People follow their leaders and leaders has been extremely corrupt in this nation, hence same can be expected from them also. Modi ji is only sign of hope for those who were not fit in system.

Situation of our country is extremely pathetic. Improvement at many level is required. Education system of our country is in worst condition. Nothing they teach to make this nation any better place to live. Our education system makes sure that this country should remain slave forever. Please first teach our people then only we may expect any betterment. BA/MA and so many killing courses crores of our poor student study and kill themselves or become the part of the corrupt system.

Hope all your dreams come true shortly. demonetisation is the first excellent move . Now people afraid of keeping cash with them. Middle class and poor families who own some shops in villages are most suffering. They dont have Card swipe machines and are unaware of all these. So I want to highlight some points: # clg,uni.are requested to plan camps in villages # card swipe machines should be easily available # minimum printing of two thousand note #transaction charges should be minimised.

I am in digital technology field from last 16 years, but the disappointment I felt in those years about invention and manufacturing sector has killed all the hope in technology field. We just buy sell and integrate. We feel helpless most of the time because we don't have any platform where we may get new knowledge. No institution to support students to invent any new technology. Please make any platform which can support our students/people to invent new thing according to their needs.
