In his address, Prime Minister Modi emphasized the importance of street vendors in the country’s economy. He said, “Street vendors are an integral part of our urban economy. Their contribution might seem small, but they play a significant role in our daily lives. The PM SVANidhi scheme is a step towards recognizing their efforts and providing them with the necessary support.”

The distribution of loans to 1 lakh street vendors, including 5,000 from Delhi, is a significant milestone in the implementation of the PM SVANidhi scheme. It demonstrates the government’s resolve to reach out to the most vulnerable sections of society and provide them with financial assistance to rebuild their lives.

The event was hailed as a success, with many street vendors expressing their gratitude for the financial support. They were optimistic that the loan would help them revive their businesses and improve their living conditions.

The PM SVANidhi scheme is a testament to the government’s commitment to empowering street vendors and supporting the informal sector. It is a step towards creating a more inclusive economy where everyone, including the most vulnerable, has an opportunity to thrive. The distribution of loans at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is a significant step in this direction, and it sets a positive precedent for similar initiatives in the future.
