Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for street vendors as they were among the hardest hit by the lockdown, the PMSVANidhi scheme of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs entitles them to Rs 10,000 interest-free loan as working capital to restart their businesses. Government data show that around 46 per cent of the street vendors who have applied for the loan so far are fruit and vegetable sellers, while some 21 per cent sell fast food. Over 41 per cent are women.
Encouraged by the response to PMSVANidhi, the government has also launched its first-ever official socio-economic survey of vendors, to bring them under schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, Jan-Dhan Yojana, Building and Other Construction Workers Act, Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Matri Vandana Yojana, and others.
