First let's start a different culture of education in our Nits and IIT's 1- all the faculty and student's should be on the same side of the table. Professors should no more rule the students but guide them. 2- no paper exams, all the book and paper work are home work for students and extra work for teachers. The whole game runs about PROJECT. 3- all theory is actually going in vain due to underutilised knowledge, we don't want knowledgeable, but wise, learning according to the reqirements.

Suggest to create world's first online university which is completely developed by the people and for the people. Here is the approach 1) Create a Digital Education platform (Similar to khan academy) 2) Load best of the syllabi for all the possible courses an university can offer 3) Make it people to people platform (similar to Uber or Airbnb) 4) Provide options to create immersive videos for teachers Reach out to me for further details

Firstly anything Digital should be made with a concept of making it simple for use which would make its adaptability much quicker more so within rural india and elderly population which are not that technology savvy . For such competition the key criteria should be based on simplicity e.g.devise a digital payment app which should complete the activity with 2-3 clicks or less; should usable even on regular phone and not just smartphones ;available not only with different language but also dialect

This is a method I am describing to eliminate curruption from root. 1-> Give a time span of 1 year and ask everyone to get their Aadhaar card (Make it mondatory). 2-> Ask everyone to link their every bank account to Aadhaar card within next few months otherwise it will be held as an invalid bank account. And this way we can eliminate curruption from root.

We have a long pending issue of Ayodha or Ram Mandir or Babri Masjid. My suggestion regarding the issue is that instead fighting for a Mandir or Masjid which ultimately going to serve some religious forces only, let us think unconventionally and make a university named "Ram-Rahim Technical University" and attach it with 'Skill India' and Smart City Project' which have already launched.It will be better purpose serving solution.

We have a long pending issue of Ayodha or Ram Mandir or Babri Masjid as some say it. As we have Shri Narender Modi Sir, a bold, logical and unconventional political leader, as our prime Minister. We expect him to go out of the box and act proactively for this issue also and set up a example. My suggestion regarding the issue is that instead fighting for a Mandir or Masjid which ultimately going to serve some religious forces only, let us think unconventionally and make a university name
