On Saturday, new Prime Minister Modi of India "launched an interactive online platform that allows people to share ideas and suggestions and participate in the country's governance."  They can also volunteer to work on projects, hopefully including solutions for a cleaner nation (see post of July 18).

The PM took office two months ago after running on  a perception that he would be a reformer, and he has the usual short time period of new political leaders to win support by keeping those promises.

Previously he led the state of Gujarat into an economic boom, and there's a lot of hope that he can do that on a national scale.  Foreign investment has poured in.   

Walmart "last month announced plans to open 50 new wholesale stores there as well as grow its e-commerce operations."
