An Overview of Street Vending in Nilambur von Muhammed Mishhab P

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Economic and Social History, Dr. Gafoor Memorial MES Mampad College, language: English, abstract: The social living in Kerala was in a condition with its foundation laid deeply on the tradition of agriculture and cottage industries. Markets and towns were the major trade hotspots from which the system of street trading has evolved. Due to the fall in agricultural sector and introduction of privet capital, these trade centers lost their stand. The debut of corporate and foreign investments in the economy sabotaged the active retail trading to an irrevocable state. Even in such circumstances roadside stalls still survived in country sides providing local directions to travelers and staging social and political idle talks. As urbanization spread, a misconception developed that the street stalls are against the legal codes, leaving behind their social, economical and cultural prospects and relevance un-discussed.
