Qatar has converted its deserts into lush green landscapes and oasis by creative use of seawater desalination. We can do it likewise in Gujarat and Rajasthan. We have 7500km long coastline. Besides, it can also be used for mining of rare earths and minerals. Investment of a billion dollars brings net profits 5 times year after year without further investment.

Issue2: Wastage of food in the country (which ultimately becomes garbage). Solution: Regulations for the preparation(size and weight) of the dishes at the restaurant. for example one should not be served 1 full dish at a time,even if (s)he is a billionaire. because food is the resource of county not of individuals, spread proper awareness not scarcity of good food to the citizens. Develop a well planned policy by observing the food preparation,serving techniques and offers
