    No Smart City can ever be built without carbon-free energy which is Solar and Wind! Hence, ignoring these 2 sectors are deadly for our future. Hope our beloved PM will focus on this sector where millions of SqFt Roof Tops are UNUSED to exploit the absolutely carbon-free energy SOLAR which can bring down the carbon emissions, provided Govt allow FDI in this sector alongwith enhancement of 50% subsidy from existing 30%. Still FM can work out some incentive in this sector, just in case ignored!

    I guess ignoring Solar n wind energy sector in union budget is against the much awaited boost for carbon-free energy (Global Carbon Emission is 36Billion Tons in 2015) as spoken by bill gates in 2016 Annual Letter with Caption

    Still have time if FM can consider 100% FDI in this greenhouse project that can help institutions to be self-sufficient, provided Govt policy

    My Name is Vipin Kumar Mishra & am form Varanasi. Good See that our government and more than that our citizens are trying to do best to clean and swacth Varanasi.

    This is a mind change after Modi ji campaign of Swatch Bharat Abhiyan and Varanasians proceed their fortune in their own hand.

    Good to see that ghats are clean, roads are in better condition and the most important feature is Indian Railways are getting clean and artistic position beyond that rough and hard image.

    Varanasi being a large city,with scores of automobiles may be witnessing severe air pollution in future, which is prevalent these days in the NCR. So, I want to propose a common portal for all the commuters of the city who will be travelling to some places in the city. The portal will show other people going in the same direction, can use car pooling, thus reducing the number of vehicles on road. I have the complete roadmap of portal, if the government is interested, it can contact me.
