I earnestly request you to kindly sacrifice a little bit for this generation and the future generation.
Here I would like to point out a few things to the commercial shop house owners, why I am requesting them to sacrifice a bit for our future tomorrow.
1. Government Jobs are totally saturated. No place for thousands of educated youngsters. This is not the only reason but the mind set of our people to depend only on government sector has to be changed.
2. Therefore the need of the present hour is to move into the business sector and establishments.
3. Now even if the youngsters want to do business if we don’t provide them with commercial shops than where will they squeeze in, as all good spots are captured by IBI,s
4. All of us encourage the youngsters to venture into business and develop work culture and not to depend solely on the government, yet when it’s time to sacrifice our house and rent out to our own Nagas, so many excuses crop up.
Excuse no 1. Nagas are not sincere and do not last long and give up after a few months or within a year. Yes I do agree to that but here again two factors makes him/her close down shop.
Factor a.) If he/she has a shop in a corner since all good spots are occupied by IBI,s. Natural there’s no sale and if no sale means closing down is the only option.
Factor b.) Nagas usually buy from IBI,s shop. We do not buy from local entrepreneurs. In this matter all Nagas must sacrifice a bit, even if a Naga business man is not polite enough please bear and buy from the locals, as he/she is learning the trade only now.
Excuse no 2. Usually Nagas are defaulters. But just because of few sour grapes please don’t crucify the next generation.
I Would also like to APPEAL to all Nagas to please buy from Nagas only. Even if we pay one two rupees extra or even if they are not polite enough. But here again there are instances where we buy goods from a non- local by paying more because they have sweet tongues.
* If we cannot make a few sacrifices than how do you expect to usher in a change in our society.
* Here some may argue that we should do Manuel work, but that is the next step; after business establishments are saturated we will automatically start doing manual work as well.
* And to all the Naga business men and women, please learn from the non locals; they begin humbly from a small business and slowly expand and later become owners of 3-4 shops. They never think of BIG PROFITS or becoming rich within a short period of time but count from coins. Be polite and courteous to your customers, make them want to come to your shop again.
To all Nagas:
* Please sacrifice and rent out your commercial houses to Nagas.
* Please sacrifice and buy from local entrepreneurs.
* Please sacrifice in these two areas and contribute for your children’s future.
