Details

The Assam Government has rolled out a convenient new service called 'Aamar Dukan On Wheels'. Think of it as your local store, but it comes right to your doorstep! This scheme builds on the success of the original 'Aamar Dukan' and aims to make buying daily necessities even easier for everyone.

What Is This Scheme?

Aamar Dukan On Wheels uses eco-friendly e-rickshaws to deliver about 22 essential non-PDS items, with plans to expand to 36. These products are sold at prices lower than the Maximum Retail Price (MRP), ensuring consumers get a good deal. The scheme also encourages cashless payments by equipping e-rickshaws with smart phones and Bluetooth billing printers.

Who Can Benefit From This Scheme?

This initiative is designed to benefit consumers by providing convenient access to essential goods at reasonable prices, while also addressing unemployment among educated youth in Assam.

Why This Scheme Is Important

The main goal is to control the prices of everyday commodities by cutting out middlemen. This ensures that essential items reach people directly at their homes, at fair rates. It's a smart way to make sure everyone has access to what they need without overpaying, and it helps create job opportunities for young people in the state.
