IAS Officer Encourages People To Support Small Food Businesses By Sharing A Moving Video

Ever since the “Make In India” initiative has taken place, people have had an increased awareness of the need to support small-scale homegrown businesses. More and more people have started their own food businesses with their families, selling fresh meals and pickles from home. But, for some reason, we still tend to veer towards big brands and the need to buy from them. Fruit and vegetable sellers have been selling organic and fresh produce for ages; however, we prefer to buy veggies from supermarkets. In an attempt to garner support for the street vendors that sell fresh fruits and vegetables, one IAS officer decided to upload a moving post on Twitter.

We don’t bargain when we walk into a mall. Then why do we want to squeeze the poor who work so hard? ???????? https://t.co/fn8Slmbtda— Raj Nayak (@rajcheerfull) April 16, 2022
