Abstract

While NSSO data contain an overall macro view about urban financial exclusion in terms of accessibility to credit and other services, a field survey was considered necessary to get a clear and more recent picture of the ground reality that especially throws light on the problems perceived by the economic agents in accessing formal services in a sustained manner.

    Recently, the municipality has built a small size market which is able to accommodate about 25 shops and requested small vegetable vendors to operate from these shops. However, it emerged from our interaction that the street vendors are reluctant to shift as it would affect their business. As a result, these shops have remained unoccupied.
