My Suggestion is - 1)Government Should Spend More and More Money On research We indians have Too much talent to explore fund should be provided to them. 2)Indian rivers interlink(It was started by Atal Bihari Vajpayee) 3)There Should be CCTV Cameras in all Public Places Including Traffic lights. 4)In main Public Squares there should be build a special room like Waiting Room and that room should be made up of transparent glass and in room there should be Air purifiers,CCTV camera also.

Now we are on the way of Digital revolution and so the government who welcomes/inspire the public to involve in the Digital world should ensure the safety/security through out the system. Recently I noticed an idea which developed and showcased by some school children during their exhibition program in Kerala. The idea is that anyone using the debit/credit card on ATM machine, the card owner will be noticed by message and upon approval only they can proceed. Some sort of cheating can be avoided.

As a firm supporter of digital India moment, I strongly believe that government should enable infrastructure and extend support to citizens in embracing this great initiative. Having said that how come one of the large government organisations such as INDIA POST does not allow making online payments directly to citizens PPF accounts. May I request responsible ministry to look into this issue and take initiative to make all offerings made by post office to customers are digitally supported.Thanks

The professor who denied me admissions to the PhD course had pretended to publish my academic articles in a journal but even though he published only one, he did not tell me whether the other got published or not. He stopped interacting with me because he probably stole my idea to give it to some students of his for their theses. I have been discriminated against unfairly and the University of Mumbai has to be improved so that no professor will ever dare misbehave with students.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had introduced anti noise laws to stop people from playing music only during the Ganesh Chaturti after 10 p.m. but now, they should implement laws to prevent even neighbors from making noise. No one should talk, laugh or play music loudly while keeping their door open so that it will not disturb their neighbors. Plus, the residents of any building should be asked not to pry on their neighbors but respect their privacy.

There should be more government recognized PhD courses available online. If the other countries can do it, why not India? I had been unfairly denied admissions to a PhD course at the local university here even though I was highly meritorious. It is not fair that professors admit students of their choice. For instance, a Pakistani man was given admission in my place at the University of Mumbai even though he had failed his MA 3 to 4 times. Indians should be given more preference.

i am happy to share my views officially.we should add value education as a part of school and college education.every child below 15 years should be taught about leadership and teamwork.instead of awarding grades based on examinations alone,practical training (physical exercises)also should be added as a part of school curriculum.i am focussing on every child's attitudinal development because children maybe 40 percent of today's population but they are 100 percent of india tommorow.

I believe we should change the way we approach the education. We must try to teach the inference and not stick to rote learning. We must test the true understanding of the students and not just the way they can reproduce the answer from the book.

This is one of the biggest beauty a democratic government can showcase. "By the people" in the true sense. It helps us feel as a part of the building of nation. I strongly feel it must start with our education system. Reading the foreign system in a classical Indian style. Einstein is said to have remembered only those stuffs that he could not refer within 5 minutes of time, n here we are making it mandatory to remember all the isotopes, isobars, and what not of all the elements.
