There are few ways through which we can contribute to remove corruption or girl abuse and many. It will take some time but effective 1) Mobile court (24*7) for immediate clearance of nuisance 2) Aadhar mandate to purchase through thumb print and retina 3) Facial recognition and secure system in urban and rural 4) Property gazette 5) reinventing barter system 6) Safe ladies app or device that sends SOS in case of emergency 7) RFID Enhancement 8) Removal of multi tier leadership

I totally agree with Ravi Gupta. As an individual we dont have the time to clean the rods and beaches. An organization should be made where people go and clean all these public places. Also the government should have a good scheme to push the people for cleaning. One such scheme is on the Churchgate station where we get a one rupee recharge for every bottle or garbage we throw in the bin.

I agree with sameer vengurlekar. Action needs to be taken against smoking. When I walk on the street there is always some people smoking, someone spitting tobacco, someone eating pan masala. All this needs to taken care of.

I suggest that such an app should be made where a person using digital money should know which shops accept the different mobile wallets and BHIM. Otherwise it is a waste of time walking around the market without cash looking for stores that accept mobile wallets. And practically on 10 to 13 percent of the shops accept mobile wallets.

I think that, the name given to the event is bit inappropriate. It should have been named "SmartAPP-2017". A hackothon would be indeed a great event, but must be for different purpose. All the budding hackers from country for a days event try to hack into model of government sites and networks, like that of BSE, NSE, Union registry of citizens. Similar events are hosted by developed countries like US, which in turn helps the govts to know the vulnerabilities in their existing digital networks.

I was very happy when our PM announce swach baharat mission. But after two years it seems that swach bharat means only to make the toilets. We did not have any garbage recycling facility in most cities in India. Municipal corporations is dumping the garbage outside city. that is not environment friendly. The govt. are collecting huge amount in SBCess but no use of that. Dumping the garbage should be stopped and recycling facilities should be developed in each city for proper disposal of garbage
