Namasthe Modi Sir. Heard your speech in Gujarat yesterday 10/12/2016. Sir, i am sure you would have come across AGNIHOTRA that needs dried cow dung cakes and cow's ghee. A procedure that is done at the times of sunrise & sunset. Lots of scientific articles are there regarding the benefits of doing this homa on daily basis by every individual. i am practicing that& my family's medical bill is almost zero. So many countries are doing this vedic method & the whole project will help the atmosphere

We have a concept of PUC. However, this is the most corrupted department. I have often observed, the issuers of PUC do not check the pollution level of the vehicle and provide them the PUC certificate. I observed many diesel cars, trucks and buses throwing BLACK smoke and making hard to take breath. People do not understand, that the vehicle and petrol/diesel is theirs, but not the AIR. They do not have right to pollute it. Strict action required on this.

Dear Sir,initiative by Mr Nilekani will take time.In the meantime bank may be tasked to ensure 1. 100% debit card distribution. 2. At least 80% credit card distribution. 3. Distribution of Card swiping machines and scanner codes to vendors within the branch area. This may be made timebound. 4. Setting up of kiosks on information on digital payments where volunteers can assist poor,illiterate and the less tech savy. This is the make or break movement for the country. Deep Regards

Sir, Most of the training can be done through banks and post office, but in initial stages some one responsible to attend the issues and trainers are at each bank ad post offices are required. And who ever uses technology in wrong way and makes frauds are to be punished quickly and strongly. As like as gas bookings , cash withdrawals should happen, SMS booking for cash with drawl & allotment of slot, or else delivery of cash to home with paid service charge.

this is a very good decision for india becoming a cashless country.now we will use card instead of cash, but this is possible when bank give credit/debit cards to customer. just i want to give one example of myself, i.e- i am working in tata steel as a permanent employee since 2008,my gross salary is rs:36000/- , net salary is more than rs:25000/-, but state bank is refused to give me a credit card where my salary account in SBI since 2008. so plz take necessary action for cashless success

Honourable Modiji It appears to me that you have divine power to motivate people in the path of better days. May I request you to appeal to teaching community spare their time to educate rural and uneducated people how to use their mobile phone for cash transactions, the dream of digital India will be accomplished only if we can train our people. I believe your one word request can really change India.

Parents are living gods. Bharath matha is the sacred land of Ram and Buddha .our parents need social justice and protection . Those who cruelly abandon their parents and treating brutally should be punished by government and make more laws to protect them.This is an important issue that I say in Human rights day
