Sir, it's my humble request. Can't there be just one toll where we can pay for the entire journey by road? This will reduce the traffic and a lot of time can be saved.

Sir, I would like to know if it is possible that all the IT companies, banks and corporate sectors have their own campus with office so residence for their employees? This will solve many problems at one shot. Traffic, pollution,petrol consumption will become less and time will be saved.Housing problem will also be solved. It will take a long time but it is not impossible.

This indeed is a great initiative, & if successful its going to be a benchmark opportunity for the youth to shine. However, I have two pointers which may be of concern to the respective authorities. 1. Reach : Sir, we have great talent in the Sub-Urban and Rural areas too... they may not have the programming skills, but the ideas are amazing. I wish you do something about training such talent and offering them this platform too. 2. Connectivity : Network is very poor in country. Pls Help

Sir I feel initiation should start for literacy in rural area by Government office, NGO and Individuals for poor illiterate people. It should be co related with MANREGA and other rural development scheme, with cash payment certain important digital items should be given to poor, so it make compulsory use of it and second generation awareness for digitalisation will improve.
