Please close the disposal of raw sewage on the ground below from train toilets. The sewage is spread all over the country along train tracks because the toilets are open to the ground below. The platforms and the entire stations need to be wheelchair and senior-citizen friendly. #IR10,#SmartIndiaHackathon2017, #MyGov

21 problem statements but I only see solution statements. Without knowing the specific problem statements, how is one to evaluate these solutions? Please post the specific problem statements? As Albert Einstein said: "If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions." Clear Mission focus for each school is also needed from early development to college education. #NIO,#NCE,#CBS,#SmartIndiaHackathon2017, #MyGov

Try to solve already persisting crisis in Railways:1) Transgenders are common threat to passengers in Bangalore trains, forcibly collecting money.2) Workers employed by railways keep on shouting nonstop to sell goods inside trains, makes journey uncomfortable.3)Local goons making living, by alloting empty seat for money, bribing from innocent passengers.

Try to solve existing crisis: 1) Trains making unnecessary halts in between railway stations, more than 10 times before reaching destination. 2) Train toilets are horrible, waste disposed then n there in railway station itself. 3)Train seats are uncomfortable, no flexible seats for long journey.

#SmartIndiaHackathon2017 #MyGov Me and some of my friends are full time salaried employee of top software engineering companies. We want to participate in the hackathon, as we are allowed to moonlight (work on any idea, which is not directly competing with company products). Currently hackathon seems to be only allowed for college students. Kindly allow salaried software engineers also. We can provide a professional solution quicly. Note : you can keep such teams out of the cash reward system.

Respected Sir, Please make a plan to install the ATM machines in all the villages. All the villages have post offices (Currently very less work load) so we can utilize the post offices and we can install the ATM machines. so that the village peoples can withdraw the money as per their requirement. The withdrawal limit can be reduced as compare to city ATMs to avoid the money consume.

Comment 2 (Continued):These ATVM cards are issued by indian railway and should have all india validity. At the ticket booking counters they don't accept credit/debit cards as of now but if you can accept your own ATVM card as mode of payment it will be easier for us to book ticket and not to fight for change. Currently, ATVM cards cards can only be recharged at the railway counters but if you allow us to recharge it via plastic currency then it will be easier for us to book. Thanks.

Sir, Now a days we are talking very much about cashless economy as there is shortage of cash in the market. But there are some existing facilities are available with Indian Railways that should be modified so that we can go cashless always. Here are the points: 1. Note that in today's scenario at all major stations ATVM machines are available. But, these machines work only in the respective railway zones only. I.e. my ATVM card issued at ECoR, Bhubaneswar is not accepted at the Mumbai ATVMs.

Respected Sir The internet should be strengthened for a good cashless transaction. In the last ten days I could not do cashless transaction twice. Both instances the, once in a petro bunk and the other in a hotel , reply was failure of the internet. In some places the internet was very slow.
