National policy on urban street vendors 2009
The overarching objective to be achieved through this policy is to provide for and promote a supportive environment for the vast mass of urban street vendors to carry out their vocation while at the same time ensuring theat their vending activities do not lead to overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in public spaces and streets. This policy aims to develop legal framework through a model law on street vending which can be adopted by States/Union Territories with suitable modifications to take into account their geographical/local conditions. http://mhupa.gov.in/w_new/StreetPolicy09.pdf
