A Study on the Role Played by Street Vendors in Our Daily Life and Impact of the COVID 19 on the Street Vendors

We hope that the street vendor act of 2014, has and will continue to provide street vendors with their rights and protect them from further exploitation. India urban region has more than 1 million street vendors. Indian street food is famous across the globe with every tourist who come to India wants to try the street food. Metropolitan cities have the most amount of street vendors in particular Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Ahmendabad. The street vendors open by their stalls at any place, you find them even on the main roads and every lane, which has given rise to congestion and traffic jam on the roads, the Delhi government has decided to allocate specific places in the city for street vendors and make mandatory their license. In Delhi there are more than 3 lac vendors but only 1,25,000 are legally recognized, the government has also taken measures to improve the condition of women street vendors. Street vendors have also been vendor of exploitation by the police and local municipality, where majority of the people depend on the street vendors for the purchase of their daily needs, with less price, which can provide profit to both consumer and sellers. It is an important element of urban economy and lifeline of majority of the people daily meal.
