Street vendors took part in a day-long session organised as part of the Pradhan Mantri Street Vendors’ Atmanirbhar Nidhi (PM SVAnidhi) by the Mysore City Corporation in association with Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) and the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA), here on Monday.
‘SVAnidhi Samriddhi Mela’ was organised to educate the street vendors about the Centre’s scheme and urge them to make use of its benefits.
Acting Mayor Sunanda Palanetra inaugurated the event and said the camp highlights the Centre’s eight schemes and their benefits. She said the PM SVANidhi was launched to help street vendors hit by the pandemic-induced lockdown. The objective was to help the vendors become financially stable after the problems they faced during the lockdown and the COVID-19 crisis.
