Donating Rs.365/ to Welfare fund of Indian Army soldiers by saving rs.1/per day is an wonderful idea. It is essential to publish Welfare Fund Bank a/c Nos and other details for public contributions.

Dear Modijee; It is a great initiative from you to make our country digital and promote cashless transactions to curb corruption and arrest the leakage of revenues government may get if all the transactions can be accounted for. But I see a great hurdle from the business class in their reluctance to tow in line of making their transactions cashless. I have given a link of such situation I faced and have explained that in the document attached. Also given suggestion be done for this.

fund for taking initiative in open source Indian softwares for digitalization of India under Make in India. We need alternative of Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Gmail, Google etc. Software development can be done from home and it will also create a job for majority of people familiar with programming language, if not any diploma course should be enough for them to get involved in such a project. Reliance on softwares by greedy companies like Google and Facebook will hurt at some point.

Modi ji, Please introduce a smart card with AADHAR number instead of all the cards that is provided by the government including ATM cards also.Introduce that card to use as an atm,aadhar,voter id,ration card,pan card,etc. By introducing this,all the payments more than 5000 will be held under this card as it contains a QR code,a copper chip,a black chip as on atm. By this invention cashless economy will increase gradually without cheating and make it by taking the finger prints and iris scan.

Bullet points as per me are listed below: 1) Cash transaction or withdrawn should taxable and cashless transactions should be tax free 2)in each village city volenteers should teach retailers and socities or people how to use cashless transactions. 3) give incentives to societies who uses solar power/bio recycling plants/ segregate wet and dry waste 4) Give incentives to gram panchyat/municiple corp who gets success in segregating wet and dry waste and treat it 4 generating electricity
