All educational institutions and hospitals (where 99% tax evasions are going on) should be made cashless. All shops especially all medical shops should give us any mode of cashless facility soon. All self employed, businessman should provide any mode of cashless payment system to his/her customers including rickshawas and grocery shops..

A good step to start with but it will be good if such ideas are worked upon and students are provided with all kind of help so that these ideas can become a reality...

Dear Sir Very soon we are going to be in a great need of very strong employment policies. Make in India is one out of many of your indeginious steps. That step can be modified to curb the upcoming problem of unemployment. Demonetisation your bold step will search and attack many black businesses Thus(employers and employees will have to find another jobs) If they can be part of make in India or similar policy they can contribute their dirty brain in the progress of country.

Dear Hon'ble Modi Sir, I like to provide my suggestion regarding Electricity generation. Can't in India we produce Electricity from Sea Water as like Middle East Countries, also we can use more soloar systems,atleast in metropolitan area, which will save our cost. India is surrounded by sea & rivers so it will be best option & also it will provide electricity in many parts. India is blessed with all nature & we should make its proper use. I hope I able to put my views properly. Thank You.

In almost all shops (except supermarkets) there is a board hanging which says " 1000/- and old 500/- rupees are not accepted) from Nov 9th onwards.... actually there should be other boards lik "we accept cashless payment here" Common man cant go to supermarkets always to use pos machines. Recently i went to supermarket as i can use card there instead of cash, but there,the same quality of rice that i used to pusrcase at rs. 33/- is 60/-per kg. A vast difference is many products lik this.

Please make lpg gas agency, all railway station ticket counter and such places cashless. People can arrange cash for vegetables but where more money is required where to bring cash. Keeping aside shopping places, atleast make gas agency like places cashless.

Dear sir, i am seeing that you are promoting cashless economy. People doubt about it still. I dont have doubt. Nothing is impossible , only proper planning is needed. My point of view is that please make govt / semi govt transaction cashless. Infuse more cash in villages. Promote more cashless options in cities like encouraging banks to provide swipe machines, also lowering charges on swipe machine.. I m still cash not avialable in almost all atm. Why gas agency are still asking for cash.

Today after many days I went to the Sadar Bazar and found more than 50% of shopkeepers have installed facilities for cashless transaction. Even the revedi / mudngfalliwala shops have paytm facilities for cashless transaction.It is good to have cashless transactions but won't it be better to reduce transaction charges as they were levied when cards were luxury , but now if we are proceeding towards cashless economy this barrier should end and people should be encouraged with some incentives.
