> 1)More clarity and accessibility as far as the 'hardware'

>
> 2) The policy needs to be explicit in its stand vis-a-vis dealers from

> we add import duties)
>
> 3) Will the policy consider reducing the registration period of an ngo/cbo
> to two years in special circumstances ? ie : Those working in the area of
> disaster management. Would disaster management not merit consideration of
>
> Mobile transmission?
>
> 4) Could we explore (apart from urging single window clearance) a shorter
> license application procedure.
>
> 5) Could I and B push for inclusion of community radio as a communication
> channel so as to scale their programmes like Nation Rural Health Mission ,
> JNNURM etc.
