Finding a job in these tough times is awfully difficult. Despite graduating from reputed institutions, people are still roaming around to secure a good job. Most are unemployed. That's the sad reality.?
One of them is a 24-year-old girl named?Priyanka Gupta who despite completing her graduation in 2019 couldn't secure a good job. She has now started her own tea stall outside Patna Women's College in Bihar.?
Gupta who is a native of the Purnia district in Bihar decided to start her own tea stall after she failed to clear the bank competitive exams despite her hard work for two years.
She is a graduate of Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth, Varanasi. She started her tea stall on April 11 this year. "I did my UG in 2019 but was unable to get a job in the last 2 yrs. I took inspiration from Prafull Billore. There are many chaiwallas, why can't there be a chai wali?" she told ANI.?
Her shop Chaiwali, serves four innovative styles of tea, including Paan tea and chocolate tea. The sign outside her shop says, ¡°Initiative towards aatmanirbar bharat. Soch mat, chalu kar de bas [Don¡¯t think about it, just begin].¡±
¡°For the past two years, I have been trying continuously to clear the bank competitive exams but in vain. So, instead of going back home, I decided to set up my tea stall in Patna on a hand cart. I am not hesitant to set up my own tea stall in the city and I view this business as a step towards Atamnirbhar Bharat,¡± Priyanka told India Today.??
She even told the publication that opening her tea stall wasn't an easy task. She had to run from pillar to pillar to get a loan. Finally, a friend of hers gave her a loan of Rs 30,000.?¡°After my friend helped me financially, I bought a tea stall and other materials for all Rs 12,500 and then started a tea shop near Patna Women¡¯s College from April 11."
Her pictures have gone viral. While some are lauding her entrepreneurial spirit, some are saddened to see her state due to a lack of jobs.?One user wrote, ¡±This is the situation, no jobs, inflation, no proper food for people. But we are fighting on Hindu Muslim, main headlines on riots. Ham next 50 years mai Africa ban na hai ya America jaise ban na hai hamare upar depend karta hai.¡±
