Abstract

It is interesting to know the kind of initiative that has taken by the state Government for the Empowerment of Vendors in Goa. The State Vendors policy, Strategies, Programmes are the political Manifestos during the Municipalities or Corporation election of the political parties which forms the Local Self Governments. It is out of these Strategies that the Political parties the makers of Government boast and claim of having extended basic amenities, financial and a rapid expansion of infrastructural development in the Market area. However, what the political party promises during the entire election period and the propaganda that follows for the entire election year are conveniently and deliberately forgotten once they form the Government. Though there are certain constitutional safeguards Which are provided for protection of vendors right there is in fact no Significant Economic and Social awareness required for the fulfilment and achievement of lofty objective that are enshrined in the various provisions of constitution and even the tiny vibrant state like even Goa is not exception to it. The Present condition of the Vendors in Goa is such that their various developmental policies, Strategies, Programmes are not implemented during the successive five year plans and therefore, it has also had adverse impact on their socio-economic mobility. Their unsecured livelihoods position in terms of lack of legal entitlements & have push them into deep economic vulnerability. This paper therefore, discusses the implications of the new Act’s and Protection of livelihood of the Vendors and further attempts to address the issue which will enquire, whether such act will finally lead to the inclusion of these people into the National mainstream. This is based on books, journals, and newspaper. The data collected from Goa Trade Unions Confederation of Goa is also used here.
