In India 75 % people are involved with agriculture and grocery shop.That is very bad.
Now people earn Rs 2000 per month working in grocery shops and middle men mint money cheat1ng the poor farmers.
Government has to make policy and initiative,expand the sectors to divert 20% people from the above 75% to manufacturing sector,15 % people to export business,10 % to tourism industry,10% to defence forces.The remaining 20% should be in agriculture.
This way we will have less grocery shops which dump lot of garbage in every street corner.And we will have less farmers but rich farmers.
No one can achieve intellectual excellence by selling potato and tomato whole life and sitting in front of weighing balance !It is wiser to sell off your produce every morning to some retailer and then involve yourself in some other job.
This chain-of-stores in the middle of Chennai is intimidated by the presence of MNCs. What is he selling? All the products produced by Sarvana? And how Rediff gives space to such a big retail outlet which for years has been able to establish monopoly in the process the entire gold mine of T-Nagar is now a play ground of this retailer. No MNCs are going to set shop in Tnagar. Don't worry.
First ask this guy to give proper salary to his employees and then talk. This give is a cheat who doesnot give receipt even if you buy for more than lakh. He is tax cheater and he should be put in jail. The way his employees treat customer is also bad. No facilities to customers like bathroom and parking.

Exactly. He said "We buy land or goods; we keep them here". At least MNCs won't buy acres of land and inflate real estate prices.

he mean the cash will be still in India.. this is the reason anyone can rule our country... u cannot give the money to indian because he buys land.. but the same u r ready to give foreigner to make his country rich
But this guy was running a goonda raj with slavery at worksite. Every employee is a slave and he haas the nerve to raise voice. I wont pity a second if his business dynasty goes pop... I will feel for a second for his employees who would go jobless.
All these grocery store guys in India loot people by mixing bad stuff in grains and pulses. They also cheat a lot with ridiculous prices during Bandhs.
Hopefully Walmart succeeds and prices of commodities will come down drastically.
Guys like Saravana stores can cry as he fears that his business will not survive. But consumers will love the idea of Walmart very soon. Cheap goods sold at ultra hygenic condition.
Govt should have taken the decision to bring in Walmart and other giants back in 90's itself. Things would have been very different now.

Peopjump to conclusion that bringin, the MNC retailers to the country is better than these corrupt indegenous retailers, mind you that these countries have one set of standards for the First world countries that they come from and some others standard for example in india

today walmart..tomorrow best buy.. day after tomorrow xyz and let's close all indian shops because they are corrupt, their quality is poor ... I'm not denying there should not be comptetion.. create comptetion internally.. let's compete with other countries.. u r bringing thrid party to compete against u r rival.. who will be benifiter ?
The government should allow FDI in retail industry. This would make all reatilers more competitive and common man would benefit a lot. This would certainly crush small retailers who cheats the people and robs them. Consumer would have to be given the priority and FDI should be allowed. Otherwise, retailers like Reliance, Bharti, Saravana and others will continue to cheat people.
No Kirana store is paying tax in proportion to their income and they are now suddenly worried. I haven't seen a single Kirana store in India provide a receipt for good sold or maintain a book of accounts honestly..India runs on Kuchha and Pakka accounting from ages and how can it change today :-) Don't people in our country like the convenience this system offers? And is anyone really complaining..
BC/SC/ST/Minority communities will benefit/prosper with FDI in Retail. Indian regime delayed/denied FDI in Aviation/Retail/Media sectors to promote/protect Forward caste hegemony in these businesses.

In fact they are the nes who will be most affected. It is usually not the forward caste people who have all these small kirana shops. Most forward caste people are in jobs or own big businesses which are not affected by this. Retail on the other hand is owned by people of all castes depending on the region of the country. Also, the workers in the small kirana shops are also usually BC/SC/ST. All these people will be greatly affected.
Every walmart destroys 50 - 100 grocery stores and that means these owners become jobless and each shop employes 2 - 3 ppl , that means about 100 - 300 shop assistants become jobless and walmart will replace them with 6 managers and 30 shop assistants leading to Net loss of over 250 or more jobs......and thats not all ...since they are free to buy/import cheap chinese products they create jobs for chinese / bangladeshis kiling small scale industries in india....and last but not the least they siphon off the profits to USA....weakening the indian economy and depreciating the rupee further....did USA allow FDI in retail ? not a chance ...its only idiots who are doing economic suicide.
FDI is welcome in food processing to stop wastage and create new jobs , and in arms manufacture , software , textiles, export business...these are positive businesses ...FDI is retail is stoopid job kiling money siphoning stopidity

80% Indians buy atleast some items in credit from Kirana(grocery) shops and their names are written in bold in the UdhariKhata( Creditors register) of those shops.Walmart won't borrow any one.So,there is no chance of Maholla(Neighbourhood) kirana shop closing down !!
Govt proposal is for cities which have more than 10 lakh population.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Myth About Job Creation - Reality - Job Destructi
by fake agitation on Jan 04, 2012 06:07 PM
so all udhari khatas must go to grocery shop and all cash transactions must go to walmart. So now a new spree of petty shopkeepers committing suicide across the country will begin for sure. Just like farmers are doing. This is what you people want?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Myth About Job Creation - Reality - Job Destructi

do u think walmart is interested in cities with less than 10 lac population ?......they just gave their exact demand and MMS the dhakan agreed to it as he was asked by maino family who have got kickback to sell the country to new east india company...this time americans

How is walmart going to destroy grocery stores? Are you afraid of competetion? BTW, do you know how different walmart in comparison to Bigbazar? If you are saying that walmart employees 2-3 ppl per store - looks like you haven't seen any walmart store. I don't go to bigbazar every day to buy vegetables or grocery. BTW, walmart is US based. USA allowing FDI in retail - Do you know what is FDI? There is competetion in US and at the same time, small time grocery stores also exist.
Let's Saravana Stores and all retailer take a vow that they will not sell any imported or foriegn made product. Then we can accept their word otherwise, they them self are slaves...
These guys will get a product from vietnam if product is cheaper than chinese.
Re: Saravana stores will sell only Indian products....
by potti sriramulu on Nov 30, 2011 12:06 AM
i agree, saravana stores items are cheap and hazardous. only chinese people know what material was used. does saravana stores owner uses the items sold in his shop.
Re: Re: Saravana stores will sell only Indian products....
by Sreekanth Nemani on Nov 30, 2011 12:28 AM
Does walmart sell quality stuff? they sell the most cheap and hazardous chinese made stuff in the world. So, why don't you ask walmart also to do that before asking saravana.
