Imphal, November 08 2026: With life not always easy some youths have risen to the challenge and are making efforts to support their families by selling whatever little they can at Khwairamband Keithel, braving both rain and sunshine.

A visit to Khwairamband Keithel would reveal several youths, including students, selling kitchen items, soaps, masala, calendars and other household goods by holding them in their hands and approaching potential customers, without having any permanent shops.

Rather than sitting idle, these youths have chosen to work hard and earn whatever they can to help their families.

Speaking to The Sangai Express, Konjengbam Bhaskar, a student of Manipur College from Langthabal, said that he had completed the sixth semester of his undergraduate course and is looking for a decent job.

Bhaskar said he decided to sell goods at Khwairamband Keithel rather than stay at home all day so that he could contribute financially to his family.

Saying that he purchases the goods from wholesalers and sells them from 8 am till evening, he added that he earns around Rs 400 to Rs 500 a day.

He said he hands over his earnings to his parents to help them meet some of the family's expenses.

Unemployed youths in Manipur could earn some money if they are willing to take up odd jobs, he said.

He said that over 100 people sell goods at Khwairamband Keithel and the Alu Gali area by approaching potential customers, as they do not have permanent vending spaces.

Bhaskar added that senior vendors often offer them advice and guidance on the trade.

Saying that they are able to earn some money thanks to the kindness and support of the public, he said many people buy goods from them even though the same items are available in shops.
