Modiji I want to open Forum regarding Mis-management of fund in private schools. Sir, it is very sad to see private schools collecting fees in cash so that they can earn windfall black money. Go, to maximum school in India and in any states they will ask to pay fees in cash (they wont accept cheque). Why, because cheque payment will give their actual earning. The fees charged are so exorbitant that normal family cannot afford it.

It is well known that only Doctors know Medicines. Obesity is a disease that needs to cured by Doctors only. Credibility of people who advertise with tag lines as "lose weight in 2 weeks or lose upto 10 Kgs in 3 months" etc must be questioned. Also, the methods that they use or suggest to their customers must be validated and approved by Ministry of Health. People should be encouraged to visit Doctors rather than falling prey to such shortcut methods.

AS our country is primarily known for agriculture, but still we can't hav good distribution of home made or small-scale packaged food product in our country, and foreign counties in India are taking of that. For e,g. healthy tapioca & banana chips of south is not widely distributed in North, and some special sweets of north are not easily found in south. Indian chips are not widely distributed in India,but we can find lays chips everywhere. Marketing & supply chains of product shld be taken care

food & daily use products of Indian companies like chips, soap, cream, facewash, etc. should be advertise in a manner to influence children & less educated females, which are directly influenced t television advertisements. Companies should enhance the quality of packaging & they can also add celebrities if needed. E.g. Product of patanjali & Balaji wafers can even change their name to the interesting & modern one, so that they can easily replace foreign companies like lays, amway, etc.

Advertisement should give a positive impact. Visuals have deeper impact on brain and it must be a positive oriented. In order to make stronger India in future, we have to provide a right input to our kids by way of advertisements because the kids view ads keenly and it get stored deeply in their mind. Let us create a healthy environment
