Which helps to the citizen of india in understanding their tax liability in simple language. This initiative will make income tax department citizen friendly. Generally there is a fear in the mindset of the citizen of india which can be there by removed. This will result in increase in revenue of department also.

1. Make Treatment Available on Request Like Any Other Health Service: Making treatment services widely available undermines the drug market and reduces the harms from drug abuse. Treatment needs to be defined broadly to not only include abstinence-based treatment but also easier access to methadone and other alternative maintenance drugs. 3. Prevent Drug Abuse By Investing in Indian Youth and Providing Them with Accurate Information: The most effective way to prevent adolescent drug abuse is to

The first and foremost thing is to love your child and be friendly. If he/she is sure of your support, he/she won't turn to others for help. Tell your child not to accept wrong challenges like drug and abuse of any kind. It's better to be called coward than to be fool. Engage the child in the activities of his liking. Reading is very important.With this sort of backing, the child will never want to use drugs. If God has given us life, it is for some purpose. So use it to better the world.

Dear Mr Modi I am one of your biggest supporter but a helpless troubled tax paying citizen..My husband was a victim of roadrage and is lying in a critical condition in an ICU for the past 11 days. It is very difficult for a middle class person like me to. Sustain the cost of this treatment which in a way has happened due to state's inability to protect it's citizen.there is utter lack of fear for law on roads as a result of which Our lives have become cheap.

Honorable PM sir, along with conducting awareness programs I reckon, we have to start such a medical infrastructure where any person can voluntarily go and get MEDICAL CERTIFICATE for being a absolute abstainer from drugs consuming. This facility should be available for free of cost or at very nominal fee.This strategy will gradually result in insisting of Grooms in getting the certificate before marriage by Bride/Bride's parents. This would surely mitigate drug menace.REMEMBER,THIS IS VOLUNTARY
