"Mana Ooru - Mana Dhukaanam" Empowering Local Businesses

The rise of e-commerce has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we shop.

The internet has changed how we shop. Now, we can find almost anything online with just a few clicks. But this convenience comes with a price. Big online stores are hurting our local shops. It's time to support "Mana Ooru, Mana Dhukaanam" - Our Town, Our Shops!

Why Big Online Stores Hurt Local Shops

• They offer very low prices that local shops can't match.
• They have a huge variety of products, so you can find almost anything you need.
• They deliver right to your door, so it's super easy to shop from home.

But what people often forget is that every time we buy online, it hurts our community. Local shops bring life to our neighborhoods. They:

• Know their customers and offer personalized service.
• Create a sense of community and belonging.
• Support local jobs and families.
• Often sell products made locally, which helps the environment.

How to Support Our Local Shops

Here are some ways we can help the "Mana Ooru, Mana Dhukaanam" movement:

• Shop at local stores whenever possible. Even small purchases make a difference.
• Go to local events like markets and festivals. This helps local businesses show off their unique products.
• Encourage local shops to get online. This will help them compete with big online stores.
• Support policies that help small businesses. This could mean lower taxes or easier access to loans.
• By choosing to shop local, we can create stronger communities and a brighter future for everyone. Let's work together to help "Mana Ooru, Mana Dhukaanam" succeed!

The future of our towns and cities depends on the health of our local economies. By choosing to shop local, we can create a ripple effect that benefits everyone. Let's come together to support "Mana Ooru, Mana Dhukaanam" and build thriving communities for generations to come.

 

A Note to All:

This community is a place free from caste and religious divisions. Under the slogan "Our Town, Our Shop," we have initiated this program with the belief that all local businesses belong to one family. If we fail to protect our local businesses today, then we have no choice but to wait for the day when we have to shut them down.

For your information, the organization that first started and is currently leading this initiative by THE PRODDATUR ARYA VYSYA YUVAJANA SAMAKHYA (Contact: 8886828928).

Hunger and adversity do not discriminate based on caste or religion. Therefore, there is no place for such divisions here. Only local business owners are allowed to join this group.

Please join the group corresponding to the district in which you conduct your business. To facilitate our activities, kindly avoid joining multiple groups. We request you to invite your fellow business owners to join this group as well.
