Dear Sir, Considering the lack of rains and pollution, there is an urgent need to have more trees. The road divider on the thousands of KMs or highways, can be used to plant crores of trees helping the environment plus adding beauty and shade to the roads along with water retention capacity and significant reduction of carbon foot print in the air. The situation is getting out of control and has to be addressed on SOS basis.

I feel to put governance in everybody's reach,the way must be easy and accessible.And Internet is a such big source to connect everybody.But problem is more than 60% of population don't use internet and those using of them many are not educated.So they don't recognize the benefits of internet. We need to educate people before making India digital.Since much of our population still lives in rural areas.Some Effective government centres need to be opened there which might help.

I know a tea vendor, who is selling T worth Rs 10000 daily, but he says he cannot go digital, because he has to pay rent of the space which is approx Rs 80000/- in cash only. His owner is a big shot who does not accept check and thus make this black money. How is govt going to tackle such situation?

This can even be taken upto united nations whereF Fundamental Rights of Children can be included in the UN charter so that the policies made by different nations include them. For eg. Africa is going through a demographic change and its population is increasing at a very faster rate and slowly they will come to a situation where the mouths increase the resources, a sort of irreversible situation. The first casualty of poverty are the children.

Fundamental Rights of Children: All Children till the age of 16 shall be the responsibility of the Govt.. If any child cannot take care of himself due to poverty, abusive parents etc shall be given care in the form of food, education and other things important for the growth of a child. By defining the fundamental rights of a children for 1 generation of 36 years we can eliminate plenty of future criminals and other abusers. The fundamental right of children is very very important.

Any person who claims himself to be god loving can find his god begging on the streets, working in tea shops, not having proper care to be taken off. This crime and great sin is being committed right in front of our eyes in great daylight and we are as considering ourselves civilized people do nothing. The child exploitation & torture goes a long way in shaping his or her personality and they most of them become the future criminals and themselves the perpetrators of heinous crimes.

The children who do not get affection, education basic resources and are leading an impoverished life is the greatest sin we are collectively doing against the humanity. See the children on the traffic signals begging for 2 rs or 4 rs. is the live example of this great sin. They are brought to this world by their irresponsible poor parents in hope that they will see their conditions improvising but what happens is the opposite, the more the children they have the more the resources gets divided

Inhuman Condition of poor childrens is a crime against humanity The population of India has risen above the explosive stage. Any steps taken to curb poverty will result in failure if the population which is Resources/ Population doesn’t gets controlled. The main victims and suferers of this population growth are the children of India, Children are considered as the face of God in the earth and bringing them to this world without having enough resources is a deep rooted sin against humanity.
