Youth unemployment, lack of local economic opportunities
Livelihood · LAPUNG
For our vision of a developed India by 2047, where all youth have employment and everyone should have a permanent house, we must become self-reliant. I believe we can achieve this by looking at simple, accessible businesses right here in our communities. A candle business, an incense stick business—these are practical options. With an investment around 20,000, these ventures can provide much-needed opportunities.
It's not just about candles and incense sticks, though they are good starting points. We can also consider goat farming, tailoring, or even making delicious cakes and bakery products, or soap. The key is to empower our youth and farmers to become entrepreneurs, creating their own livelihoods.
When we embrace these small-scale endeavors, we are building a foundation for a future where everyone has a path to employment and economic stability, moving towards a truly self-reliant community.
