JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson and former Vice Chairman Balbir Ram Rattan, along with the party’s Media Co-Convener Sanjay Bakshi, administered the pledge of Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) to local street vendors and hawkers. The objective of this initiative was to make small traders engaged in daily, small-scale businesses aware of the importance of indigenous and local products and to involve them as active participants in strengthening the nation’s economy.
On this occasion, Balbir Ram Rattan said that street vendors are an essential part of the economic strength of our society. They not only fulfill the daily needs of common people but also play an important role in generating employment at the local level. He stated that small shopkeepers and street vendors are the backbone of the country’s economy, and without empowering them, the dream of a self-reliant India cannot be realized.
He urged street vendors to use the money earned through their hard work to purchase goods that are made in India, especially those produced by local artisans and entrepreneurs. He said that this would not only promote local industries but also ensure the strengthening of the national economy. Balbir Ram Rattan further said that when we buy local products, our money circulates within the country. This encourages small industries, creates new employment opportunities, and helps India move rapidly towards becoming self-reliant.
He also administered a pledge to the street vendors that they would not only use indigenous and local products themselves but would also motivate their customers to do the same. He said that if every citizen makes a small effort at their own level, nothing can stop the country from becoming economically strong.
Praising the Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Balbir Ram Rattan said that it is a strong platform to empower the poor, farmers, labourers, small traders, and youth. He expressed confidence that if hardworking people like street vendors join this campaign, nothing can stop India from becoming self-reliant.
Sanjay Bakshi appealed to all street vendors to carry out their work with honesty, quality, and a spirit of promoting indigenous products, stating that this is true service to the nation.
