When we go back to the twentieth century, we find that there was agitation of the street vendors to fight for the protection of their rights across the country, after the struggle of a long period of sixty-seven years, it resulted in the enactment of Act, 2014. The rights of person having a shop without name (the street vendors) have been recognized, but, the question arises as to are their rights intact now? and is vending business is treated at par with the other trades and businesses? Though, on May 1, 2014, the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulations of Street Vending Activities) Act, 2014 was enforced with the basic aim to safeguard the right to livelihood of the street vendors and to legalize the business of the street vending, but, it is to examine as to "whether the Act of 2014 is competent to protect the livelihood of street vendors and regulate the street vending activities" and if not, then, what all recommendations are necessary to make it competent for the interest of the street vendors.
