Make the whole city pedestrian friendly and cycle friendly. Everyone likes street markets and no one is asking to just shoo them away. Instead allocate a special area where they can open their shops at a specific time and keep them off pavements.

The government needs to issue all driving licenses after hard screening. If someone is unfit for driving they should not be allowed on the road. Increase the traffic violations penalty to thousands instead of hundreds. If you park wrong in London you need to pay INR 6500 to INR 14000 now that is something even people in London can't afford and if there is something serious then they are barred from driving for several years and also go through the pain of applying for a new license.

continued.. Major problem which we have come across is too many cars. Most of the people who owns or rent a home in Delhi are able to afford multiple cars, not even more than 20% of those knows how to drive. The licenses were distributed like visiting cards to people and driving has become a matter of right instead of a privilege. Unless driving and use of public roads maintained by government is considered a privilege this situation will stay the way it is.

Hi, I might get off topic here but I do want to provide suggestions on how to make India and its metropolitan cities really world class. I have seen Delhi and I have seen London I have also seen Warsaw. As a privileged citizen I had good education even though my family was initially lower middle class. The major problem which is standing among Delhi is overpopulation which is the root of all other problems. Our infrastructure was never ready to handle this and that needs to change.

To encourage reading, you can open more state and national libraries. Also, keeping these libraries open for 24 hours or at least 18 hours will also be a lot of help for students like me. Opening governmental book stores offering discounts may also help many who cannot afford books.

Suggestion about developing reading habits: It might sound stupid, but reading has to become fashionable. We see big movie/TV-serial stars wearing trendy clothes, listing to music, etc. I would love to see them reading books. References to different books in scripts of these shows might also act as a stimulus for young followers to read books. Reading habit is not something that someone can force onto people. Older generation has to make it look cool enough for younger generation to follow them

Reading makes a complete man.Reading of books must be made mandatory in curriculum.There must be different levels and goals to be set.Children must be encouraged to read for pleasure and not just set books.

Part-2 of my msg-I wish to get it launched by you.I will come to Delhi if you bless me on that day for the cause. Unfotunately,if you are out of country that day, then second choice is to get it launched by respected Hiraba going to Gandhinagar on that day. And if you dont permit me even for that then please express your wish or third option for launching my book on that particular day.I will follow your order. Warm regards Dr Jyoti Hathi Rajkot Gujarat India
