(Notes on Branding a Indian State, Branding a Himalayan Province, Place Branding for Uttarakhand, Branding of Places of Uttarakhand, Place Branding for Kumaun, Place Branding for Garhwal)
Today, in the era of globalization, around the world, each village or metro of each region is competing with each other directly or indirectly. The common men should also know that every village of Garhwal or Kumaun is busy in competing thousands of villages around the world for getting development investment, for better employment for its inhabitants (there in Garhwal-Kumaun or migrated ones), for tourist attraction, for creating value, for inward workforce or for migration, wealth, attention and in many arenas. For example, there are hundreds of villages in the queue across the globe for getting a pie of aid from an international NGO. Today, an African village may be competing a Kumauni village for New Zealand tourists who want to spend a month in remote village. There may be indirect completion among Chinese, Jamaican , Garhwali or Cuban villages in getting aid from World Bank for water resource development.
When there is completion there is need for branding. When there is global completion there is need of professional marketing and branding. When there is indirect completion among villages across the earth there is need of perfect place branding. Today, place branding is the key for success of every place.
