Nestle India Ltd.

Nestle India, Food and Drugs Administration, Goa and National Association of Street Food Vendors of India (NASVI) have joined hands to begin training about 500 street vendors, expanding to about 1,000 in the coming months. The training of street vendors will be conducted by NASVI and will comprise subjects such as health, hygiene, food handling, waste disposal and entrepreneurship. The participants will also be certified at the end of the training. While Street Food Vending is an important source of employment for a large number of populations, a variety of constraints including lack of knowledge and skills in business, limited training opportunities, and restricted mobility have prevented street vendors from improving their capacities to sustain their livelihoods and enter into strategic employment opportunities in new market conditions.
