Rural Areas & Districts Development – Centralised Control to report issues of all types faced by IVRS-recorded or customer care, SMS, app, Web(mobile & PC), Dubbing of DD Kisan Channel in major regional languages with option in DTH to choose language, fixing issues like – roads, water to all houses, LED in all village streetlights, Adult education in Govt schools, ATM cum money deposit machines in all govt schools by PSB to enable next generation to know banking services from small age, Easier travel from villages and remote districts to major centres nearby with small buses, Wi-FI towers by BSNL in all govt schools and villages with low cost plans when connected to that network, Procurement of trees & Plants which produce bio-fuel by Govt

Govt should solve issues faced in rural areas & districts which face following issues – a) Bad Roads or making cement roads in repeatedly damaged roads as cement roads have life of more than 15 years, b) Good drinking RO Water with pipelines to all individual houses & toilets with separate water tank for the village if requested (Currently most villagers have to go to common pipe point to take water this needs to change to get water inside house itself like in cities), c) Methane plant to generate gas with cow dung, waste to overcome wood used for cooking, d) drainage facilities in villages and processing centres, rain water harvesting concepts for all houses and connected to lakes, e) construction of cement houses with cement blocks for faster construction instead of bricks and also painting, f) request for more work under MNREGA for that person or region or public feedback to identify more MNREGA work and payment by biometric of worker, g) lack of transportation issues in villages to travel to major location near districts and most time villagers have to wait for 3 hours to get on a bus to reach any place so give 1 bus for villagers who request for bus facilities with small buses as they will consume less diesel (try bio fuel also and encourage villagers to produce bio fuel to maintain buses and reduce cost and driver can be appointed by village panchayat and the driver can take salary instead of state or central govt job to allow villagers to manage the bus) with logo of Rural ministry and logo, h) lack of LED streetlights leads to complete darkness in roads in villages in nights hence converting all tube lights & mercury bulbs to LED tube lights will help a lot. i) Free distribution of LED bulbs to all village and district residents in nearest Govt school on specific day every week and rest of those who request can be sent by India Post to house address and the person can pay to postman directly to help LED policy every common man j) Having manned level crossing to prevent farmers who die with their cattle in level crossing to close them and be manned by panchayat or village appointed person with training by Railways k) Top veterinary doctors of central govt must be available to go to villages on request to look into cattle and understand new diseases and come up with solutions. Central govt doctors must reach before State Govt to set a trend l) Public Health centres which are reported to be of low quality and any facility missing if requested must be provided. If lacks of doctors is reported send nearest Central Govt from state capital to make state aware that centre is more proactive and no wait for state to respond. As some state are very pro active and some are not. So always if any request comes from public then send doctors within 1 week j) Adult education in all Govt schools with food provided for lunch all weekends with computer and speaker to teach the villagers basic banking, basic maths to avoid cheating, farming techniques, central govt schemes and how to avail them, state govt schemes and how to avail them. The entire task must be assigned to the govt school headmaster to take up the activity and no funds is needed for this just internet facility must be made available by any govt agency like BSNL or use Microsoft (skype and internet in remote areas) k) Lack of mobile signal and internet in rural areas must be overcome by having boosters by BSNL for better connectivity so most villagers get signal l) Wi-Fi Towers to enable internet available for usage in Govt schools, mobiles. Many might not have PC but having Wi-Fi availability by installing required devices to help connectivity with low cost packages for selected areas say like 2GB at Rs.100 to enable better usage of internet to enable more services reach them m) Farm loan and Crop insurance issue must be also be integrated into this scheme n) Rental service of farm equipment must be made available through the service to enable latest tech equipment reach all farmers o) Organic farming techniques, fertilizer request, purchase of farm produce any request can be placed in this p) Govt schools issues like lack of teachers with video conferencing to teach students and other facilities requested by students must reach them faster q) Govt colleges and other issues must also be addressed r) Biofuel based water pumps to increase bio fuel penetration to rural areas and to avoid dependency on power and govt procurement of plant produce which help in making bio fuel also s) Govt offices issues must also be sorted out by direct interaction of state and central govt to force concerned authority in panchayat level who does mistakes. All above services and many more if integrated by below methods will help resolve. Dubbing of DD Kisan channel programmes so all can understand across India with option in remote to choose language currently Discovery and National geographic have this option in Tata Sky(DTH).t) MSME centres in at least 15 areas in all states
Create a single app or website to report both with details of the person and anonymously for issues reported with or without photos to get more public reporting issues directly to centralised centre to take up issues faster. Currently Govt having different apps & separate methods to solve roads (PMGSY) and power issues must be integrated to single app and website (both pc & mobile) to report issues faced by people in rural and districts to solve issues.
Please make availability of IVRS to record issues like for MannKiBaat in all regional languages and default language will be the region from which the person calls & SMS numbers to report issues. Other than app and website as most people in rural and districts know only their regional language and don’t know usage of apps or smartphones. Even if pin code is given team must be sent to verify issue and resolved. Govt must talk to concerned person in language which they understand if regional have separate team in Central ministry to look into issue. If it goes to State Govt they might ask them to force to close issue without resolving.
So if all services and more and integrated into single App “Rural India” to help non state capitals to grow faster and Central govt to understand problems and integrate all issues into one for faster solving by central govt and fine tuning how services have reached to common man. In places where even state govt cant reach due to constrains in expenditure the Central govt must step it up and do it faster. If required State Govt must share the cost involved. The details of the complainant must be kept a secret and must not be revealed. The complaint if provided pin code or any small details possible must be used to check with help of local IAS officer team in district level and if confirmed central govt must take up work to do it. Tendering process must be such a way that at least 10 villagers issues within  a state are awarded to single contractor for faster completion. If less than 10 villages have problems reported then every 30 days new tenders must be issued and monitored with satellite imagery and IAS reporting.
