To become a developed country with a $20- trillion economy is India’s dream at 100, characterised by better economic growth, improved general standard of living, higher per capita income, and superior performance on the Human Development Index (HDI), which includes education, literacy and health. It is oft stated that for India to grow, India must build and, therefore, by direct inference, infrastructure development is key to India realising her dream. Although the pace of infrastructure development has been impressive over the past co

THE GOVT SHOULD TAKE A PRAGMATIC VIEW OF THE ENTIRE TAXATION TO INCLUDE GST, IT, CORPORATE TAX, ALL TYPES OF CESSES, TOLL TAX, LOCAL TAXES, FEES ETC ETC.

The hate speech by politicians in India is creating so much hatered in society. All political parties are involved in this dirty business.
So I request government to pass a law that will stop all dirty politicians to make any controversial statement.
This is for 'Ease of Living.'

E-commerce companies in India selling faulty products online. When a consumer files a complaint on National Consumer Helpline, they do not help consumer at all and acts in favor of E-commerce companies. So I request you to trash National Consumer Helpline permanently and set up a new and honest government agency who will really help consumers in India.

This suggestion is for 'Ease of Living.'

Fix the house rent being charged in Rural and Urban areas for transformative impact on enhancing ‘Ease of Living.'

Decease GST rates on food products for transformative impact on enhancing ‘Ease of Living.'

Sir,
These days, people globally have been doing anything & everything in name of yoga.....

Request you to very categorically claim that yog & sadhna is the contribution of Sanatan Dharma and there is strict form and discipline around it...
For more than 1,000 yrs, these "so called religions" or Cults completely decimated original habitats & cultures & did cultural appropriation or genocides & they won't hesitate to do same to Yog & Sadhna as well. They shamelessly patented basmati & haldi even in modern age.

Therefore, do not give any gap/space to them due to lack of ownership for Yog & Sadhna. Otherwise, gradually they would either claim it originated in their fantasy /gossips/Sky books or make it sound very superficial & useless.

Kindly be clear that yog is about physical and mental health and it increases the potential to do sadhna and sustain kundlini awakening and also all other absurd versions that west etc are doing are unproven, unhealthy and not part of yog sadhna..

Respected Prime Minister,

SALARY CREDIT FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH

Salary credit for the month of March is always delayed. Reason is attributed to Budget and New Financial Year. For government servants whose livelihood is based only on Monthly Salary, this is a bad system. Since this is a yearly phenomenon, I wish to bring this to your notice.
