A Model for India’s Self-Reliant Youth
🔷 1. Introduction: A Tale of Grit, Hope, and Determination
- This is the story of Pramod Chaurasia, a young man from Bihar, who represents the millions of Indians striving for a better life through honesty, hard work, and self-belief.
- His journey from a humble laborer to a successful food entrepreneur in Gurugram (Haryana) is not just inspiring — it is a case study in how persistence, the right government schemes, and a self-reliant attitude can transform lives.
- In a time when many youth wait endlessly for government jobs, Pramod shows that it’s better to start small, dream realistically, and grow step by step. His life embodies the spirit of Modi’s vision — “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-Reliant India).
🔷 2. The Beginning: From Bihar to Gurugram – The Search for Livelihood
- In 2021, Pramod left his small village in Bihar to earn a living in the industrial city of Gurugram (DLF Sector 90).
- Like millions of migrant workers, he carried dreams of stability and dignity, not luxury.
- He began as a painter, taking whatever daily-wage work came his way.
- Over time, through perseverance, he learned different skills — from construction work to odd jobs — before finding his true calling.
- Finally, he decided to start something of his own — a small roadside food cart selling Chole-Kulche.
This humble beginning marks the first step of his journey toward financial independence.
🔷 3. The Turning Point: Leveraging PM Mudra Yojana
- Pramod’s small food stall soon attracted local customers who appreciated his honesty, hygiene, and delicious food.
- But like any small business, expansion required capital — something most ordinary workers can’t easily access.
- That’s when PM Narendra Modi’s Mudra Yojana came to his rescue.
- Under this scheme, he got a loan of ₹1 lakh to expand his business setup at DLF Sector 86.
- With this support, he invested in better equipment, hygiene standards, and improved his stall’s branding.
👉 This is a textbook example of how a government initiative, when used by a sincere and hardworking individual, can completely change one’s destiny.
🔷 4. The Rise: From a Stall to a Success Story
- Today, Pramod’s Chole-Kulche stall has become one of the most popular in Gurugram’s Sector 86 area.
- He sells over 1,000 plates daily, priced at ₹50 per plate and ₹10 for raita.
- His daily turnover now crosses ₹60,000, and after expenses, he earns around ₹35,000 per day.
- His food is known not just for taste but for the trust and personal touch he brings to every customer interaction.
- This transformation — from a struggling laborer to a successful food entrepreneur — is an example of how dreams don’t need degrees; they need dedication.
🔷 5. Lessons from Pramod’s Journey
🌿 a. Start Small, Grow Big
- Success doesn’t require huge investments or big dreams at the start.
- It’s always wiser to test the waters, learn the trade, and scale gradually.
- Many people fail because they dream too big too early and collapse when challenges appear.
🌿 b. Hard Work Beats Luck
- Pramod’s success wasn’t based on any “connections” or political favors.
- His rise came purely from discipline, hard work, and honesty.
- He proved that self-belief and persistence can outshine privilege.
🌿 c. Use Government Schemes Wisely
- Instead of depending on government jobs, Pramod used a government loan scheme (Mudra Yojana) to create employment for himself and others.
- Such programs are designed to empower citizens, not spoon-feed them.
🌿 d. Be a Job Creator, Not a Job Seeker
- India’s youth must adopt the mindset of entrepreneurs, not employees.
- When even a small venture succeeds, it generates income and jobs — multiplying national prosperity.
🌿 e. The Value of Skill Development
- Schools and colleges should emphasize skill-based education, not just degrees.
- Programs for summer jobs, apprenticeships, and internships can help students gain practical experience.
- The combination of skills + microfinance + mentorship can create a wave of self-sufficient Indian entrepreneurs.
🔷 6. Broader Message: Aligning with Make-in-India and Swadeshi Mission
- Pramod’s story beautifully aligns with PM Modi’s “Make in India” mission and the philosophy of Swadeshi (using Indian products).
- Every small business like his contributes to India’s economic independence by reducing dependence on foreign products.
- When we buy from local entrepreneurs, we are not just buying a product — we are fueling India’s self-reliant growth engine.
- The collective effort of millions of small business owners can make India the global manufacturing and service hub of the future.
🔷 7. Message to the Youth of India
- Don’t wait endlessly for government or private jobs — start something of your own.
- Even if you begin with a small venture — like food, tailoring, repair, or e-commerce — success will come with time.
- Learn from examples like Pramod:
- He didn’t wait for ideal conditions; he created opportunities.
- He didn’t chase perfection; he improved daily.
- He didn’t complain; he acted.
India needs millions of Pramods — self-made, skilled, and confident citizens who will build a new economic revolution from the ground up.
🔷 8. Self-Reliance is True Empowerment
Pramod’s life is not just a personal victory — it’s a symbol of India’s awakening entrepreneurial spirit.
He shows that:
- You don’t need to be rich to dream big.
- You don’t need luck to succeed — only honesty, patience, and effort.
- True progress lies in empowering yourself, not depending on others.
- This story is a shining example of New India’s energy, where every hardworking individual can rise — with the right mindset and the right leader.
- So next time someone mocks “pakoda jobs,” or “Chaiwala Shop” remind them of Pramod Chaurasia — who started small, believed in himself, and became a living example of Modi’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
- There are already thousands of Pramod Churasia’s in pipeline and millions more to come with government’s emphasis on micro-finance and self employment.
