Introduction:
Imagine leaving your village, the place you’ve called home all your life, to venture into a bustling city in search of a better future. For many migrant youths from rural areas, this is a daunting reality. These young individuals arrive in urban centers like Noida, Delhi, Gurugram etc., with dreams of finding meaningful employment, only to face the harsh reality of limited opportunities and economic instability.
The Need
Every year, over 10 million rural youths migrate to urban areas in search of work, as reported by the Census of India. Unfortunately, a significant portion, nearly 25%, end up living in slums or informal settlements, according to the National Sample Survey. These youths face daunting challenges: they are often stuck in low-wage, unstable jobs with limited prospects for advancement. The high cost of urban living further exacerbates their struggles, impacting their access to adequate housing and healthcare. Moreover, many of them lack affordable and hygienic food options, which are crucial for their health and overall well-being.
Why Street Food?
Street food is an integral part of urban culture in India. Our initiative focuses on empowering these youths to start their own street food franchises. By harnessing their skills and entrepreneurial spirit, we not only address their economic hardships but also celebrate their cultural heritage through food. This approach not only provides them with sustainable income but also instills pride in their craft and fosters community connections. Through street food franchises, we aim to create a pathway to economic resilience and social inclusion, enabling these youths to build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
