The Punjabi Sikh community is a historically oppressed one and we must come together to uplift each other so we can thrive together.
De-industrialization and plateauing agricultural growth in Punjab have contributed to a high unemployment rate. Punjab’s unemployment rate is higher than the national average and the state also has higher youth unemployment levels.
These economic trends have contributed to mass emigration out of Punjab. Furthermore, unemployment has led to mental health issues and substance abuse amongst youth.
We all want to do something to help Punjab… well this is an easy way to do it! Buy Punjabi!
We encourage our Punjabi community in the diaspora to hire freelancers, service providers, and support businesses in Punjab to alleviate some of these issues, improve unemployment and Punjab’s economy.
Look through our database to support and buy from Punjabi businesses, freelancers, and service providers or list yourself to increase your own sales. You can visit our Help Center or How it Works page to know more about the process.
We hope this directory can especially benefit Punjab.
This directory is a JaagdeRaho initiative and free of charge.
