Ministry of culture should engage all beggars on the street for maintaining the properties supervised by it by feeding them with nominal consideration deposited to their bank account. This will improve their standard as well as improve the image of our nation. This is done in Tamilnadu Prison by selling the produce produced by prisoners through Freedom stores run by Prison authorities. Further it should engage all the transgenders for their work which will not lead to any social unrest.

Our heritage sites have become lost in this era of commercialisation. We have long forgotten our culture and thus it is essential to rekindle the faith in it. A trip to Nalanda University remains has opened my eyes to this issue.This was a university established around 2500 years back and is still standing tall. The university housed 2000 teachers and facilitated education of 10000 students. Here education was not constricted into boundaries of subjects. Students could opt for medicine and art of debating at the same time and could study for as many years as they wished. The gatekeepers were learned enough to test the students and could cite shlokas with ease. I as a teacher was mesmerized by these interesting facts and kept imagining how it would be in those times. By advertising specifically regarding these facts, the ministry of culture could generate awareness as well as interest amongst common masses. They could identify various heritage sites depending on the profession as well. For example as earlier mentioned, Nalanda University remains could be a case study for not only teachers but civil engineers, architects and students from varied fields. Such sites should be promoted worldwide and within the country amongst all academic circles . It is essential for ministry of culture to work in coherence with ministry of tourism for both to benefit

Please activate "Salary grant scheme" , "Performing arts grant scheme", Repertory grant" & "Production grant" schemes immediately. Don't leave survival & flourishing of our cultural heritage to market forces as our cultural artistes are generally poor in marketing; without government grants & support they will become extinct one day.

Thanks for the opportunity to share my thoughts. As you know a sense of pride in our culture is essential to promote a feeling of attachment with the nation.The question of development is an offshoot of such a feeling. To inculcate such feeling we must preserve and showcase our historical monuments to the best of our ability.

Create more awareness. The Ministry of Culture is conspicuous by its absence in print and electronic media. Just making eye-catching advertisements on both such media would really help in furthering such objectives. It should promote the heritage of the country by vividly portraying it widely, everywhere.

I would like to suggest that to bridge the magnificence of cultures of our country.Govt. could initiate in developing cultural exchange corridors within and outside India. These corridors could be recognised on the bases of ethical knowledge of communities and could be promoted through digital cultural exchange exhibitions.

Respected Modi Sir, During my 3 years of teaching in Dantewada I have closely observed that, the maximum youth of Dantewada are highly interested in cultural activities rather than academic. Therefore, establishment of an Institute of Department like Performing Art (Sangeet avam Manch Kala) may provide international identity to the Bastariya Culture (Aadiwasi Nritya) and youths may get the jobs of their interest. it may include in NEP also....

Dear Sir, I am an architect-urban designer from Surat. I am also an armed forces enthusiast and a sculptor--i am currently in the process of depicting the history of the armed forces in the Indian subcontinent through figurines(largely miniatures). It is possible to deliver the charm of the Indian armed forces to the common citizens through this medium(like countries abroad have done). Regards. Jai Hind!
