(1)There should be PUBLIC VENDING ZONE at regular interval throughout the city.This will reduce the difference between ultra modern shopping mall and small dirty road side street vendors spread like mushroom now in every Indian city. (2)There shouldn't be luxury class,average class,poor class and all in public service provided by Government. (3)The standard of service provided by Government (Ex- Post Office,Library,Hospital,School,Transportation) should be advanced like that of western counties.

Our government is doing a good job by increasing the capacity of power we get from solar energy ,but what if we sell the solar panels to every house and link every house to a power grid ??? which helps make in india initiative by building firms which produce solar panels in india . And if we connect every house to the power grid we can charge for the amount what the owner of the house uses and the rest of the solar power goers to the grid.

The issue of slum dwelling is a major problem. Wat we need here is a reliable solution for d menace, if it is. In many instances, it considered as a space n aesthetics prob, which is absurd. Look it as a community n den make dem party in d whole proces in real terms. Relocate dem a community n provide d sense of dat. No one wants a piece of concrete with barely air. Remake a community at newer place n don't just give dem a swanky, lifeless concrete structure pls. Humans r social creature.

No Open dirt policy for cities and urban areas-Part-4 9) Central Govt should come provide a list of pre-approved designs/specifications/rules for covering of open dirt areas. State govt/ Municipalities/ City corporations can adopt these options as per their budget and willingness. This will ensure consistency thru out the country.

No Open dirt policy for cities and urban areas Part-1 1) Cities to mandated to be "Open dirt free",Majority of the sand and dust in cities comes from construction sites and Public works like building roads.Both Govt and private contractors have to be mandated to clear the debris on a daily basis at construction sites and dumped at a designated site outside the town. 2) To generate a revenue stream,City can start "Rent-a-dump-truck" scheme on payment basis.

No Open dirt policy for cities and urban areas-Part-3 6) All small uncovered open spaces in front of shops / roadsides should be mandated by city to be covered either by Concrete or tiles . This should help reducing the dust in urban areas. 7) Tar roads with concrete shoulders should be mandatory in residential colonies. The same is there infront of my house which has been laid 3 years back and it looks as good as new. 8) footpaths should be mandatory even for main roads, more dust reduced.
