Street vendors constitute an important segment at the bottom of the pyramid of the informal economy in cities. Street vending provides a source of self-employment, and acts as a measure of urban poverty alleviation. Street vending also has a prominent place in the urban supply chain, and provides inexpensive and convenient access to goods and services to all segments of the population including the poor. Street vending is therefore an integral part of the economic growth process in urban areas.

Low levels of education and skills, limited access to formal credit and micro enterprise support constrain street vendors’ ability to access emerging market opportunities. On account of being unorganised and self-employed, street vendors and their families often lack in any linkage to social security, welfare and assistance schemes and initiatives of the Government. This makes street vendors and their families vulnerable in difficult times, or when they may require assistance for unforeseen expenses.

In this context, the National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM) seeks to address the concerns of urban street vendors by facilitating access to suitable spaces for vending, institutional credit, improved skills and social security linkages. The Support to Urban Street Vendors Component of NULM sets out the strategy and operational guidelines with regard to this component.

Objectives:
The objective of the component is to address the vulnerabilities of the urban street vendors through a multi-pronged approach. This includes:

• Survey of street vendors and issue of Identity Cards.
• Development of city street vending plans.
• Infrastructure development of vending zones in the city.
• Training and Skill Development.
• Financial Inclusion.
• Access to credit.
• Linkages to social security schemes.

Role of State Government, Local Authority and Planning Authority
The State Government shall have overall responsibility for:

• Providing overall direction.
• Establishing mechanisms for sanction of project proposals.
• Establishing mechanisms for monitoring and supervision of implementation.
• Establishing mechanisms for progress reporting.

The State Urban Livelihoods Mission (SULM) will be the nodal agency responsible for overall implementation of the component. At the city level, the responsibility for implementation will rest with the Urban Local Body (ULB).

The implementation would also require coordination between several authorities including Urban Local Bodies, Development Authorities and Town Planning Agencies, Land and Revenue Departments and District Collector offices. This coordination will be ensured by the State Government and the ULB.

The ULB will consult and coordinate with the planning authority, which could be an Urban Development Authority or any other authority in a city or town responsible for regulating land use in the city. The role of the town planning authority in the implementation of the scheme will include preparation and notification of pro-vending land use plans, and for providing land and development approval for vendor's markets.

Other agencies such as the Revenue Department, the Police Department and Public Health and Engineering Department (or Water Board) may be required to provide support and assistance to the local authority to facilitate the implementation of the component.

The National Urban Housing & Habitat Policy (NUHHP), 2007 aims at promoting sustainable development of habitat in the country with a view to ensuring equitable supply of land, shelter and services at affordable prices to all sections of the society. However, the most vulnerable of these are the urban homeless.

The Urban homeless persons contribute to the economy of the cities and thus the nation as cheap labour in the informal sector; yet they live with no shelter or social security protection. The urban homeless survive with many challenges like no access to elementary public services such as health, education, food, water and sanitation.

National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM) aims at providing permanent shelter equipped with essential services to the urban homeless in a phased manner under the Scheme of Shelter for Urban Homeless (SUH).

Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) aims at providing permanent shelter equipped with essential services to the urban homeless in a phased manner under the Scheme of Shelters for Urban Homeless (SUH). Homeless persons include persons who do not have a house, either self-owned or rented, but instead live and sleep on pavements, at parks, railway stations, bus stations and places of worship, outside shops and factories, at construction sites, under bridges, in hume pipes and other places under the open sky or places unfit for human habitation.

It is understood that many occupants of shelters are engaged in work during the nights (e.g. as head-loaders), and thus need shelters to sleep in, during the day. Casual workers also often do not get employment on a daily basis, and so they may need shelters during the day and not just at night. Therefore, DAY-NULM envisages providing shelters available to the homeless during the day as well as night

Objective:

The objectives of the Shelter for Urban Homeless (SUH) component of NULM scheme are to:

• Ensure availability and access of the urban homeless population to permanent shelters including the basic infrastructure facilities like water supply, sanitation, safety and security.
• Cater to the needs of especially vulnerable segments of the urban homeless like the dependent children, aged, disabled, mentally ill and recovering gravely ill, by creating special sections within homeless shelters and provisioning special service linkages for them.
• Provide access to various entitlements, viz. social security pensions, PDS, ICDS, identity, financial inclusion, education, affordable housing etc. for homeless populations.
• Formulate structures and framework of engagement for development, management and monitoring of shelters and ensuring basic services to homeless persons, by state and civil society organisations including homeless collectives.

Facilities at the shelters
The shelters will be permanent, running throughout the year; and open round the clock, because many homeless persons find work in the nights. Following facilities/amenities may be provided at the shelters for dignified living:

1. Well ventilated rooms.
2. Water arrangements (Potable drinking water and other needs) and sanitation.
3. Adequate bathing & toilet facilities.
4. Standard lighting for shelter.
5. Adequate fire protection measures, as per the norms.
6. First aid kit.
7. Pest and vector (mosquito) control.
8. Regular cleaning of blankets, mattresses and sheets, and maintenance of other services.
9. Common kitchen/cooking space, necessary utensils for cooking and serving, cooking gas connections etc.
10. Child care facilities for children by linking the shelter to the nearest Anganwadi Centers.
11. Facilitation for convergence with other services/entitlements.
12. Personal lockers for personal storage space.
13. Common recreation space
