Abstract :
The economic hardships experienced by many young people in India have resulted in the creation of several
strategies in search of better livelihoods. Around 65 per cent of the State’s population is living in rural areas and those people are depending upon the agricultural work (Mahatma Gandhi, 1936). Due to the change in weather conditions and low rainfall many people are migrated from rural to urban to engage in some other tasks. The study found that 46 per cent of the people are involved in street vending business of the town sides. Keith Hart (1971) says informal business or street vending is black market. In the twentieth century most of the people are working street vending business. Section 283 of the Indian constitution tells that causing danger or obstruction to the public shall be punishable with fine, which may extend to two hundred rupees. However, street vendors are engaging in street vending business. Street vendors are facing more problems in the workplace from the public, police personnel, politicians and local rowdies. So, the government of India (Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation) passed the street vendors Bill 2013 in order to improve their standard of life. In this study, the researchers evaluated the problems faced by street vendors in their workplace. The researchers selected 35 respondents from Supparamiyapuram, located in Tiruchirapalli Corporation by adopting convenient sampling and the study is descriptive in nature. Interview method was used to collect data. It is noted that the street vendors follow the street vending policies and get the licenses from the authorised officials. This study aims to find out the problems faced by the street vendors and their rights.
