Dear All, Please find below a call for volunteers for a study on Street Vending in Bangalore, by SELCO Foundation, Bangalore. Please write to Rachita, - [email protected] for further details. Thanks, Vinay *Call for Volunteers : Street Vending Mapping Project in Bangalore* Selco Foundation is looking for volunteers to help map and profile the vendors in an area in South Bangalore. The three day mapping exercise will be conducted from 20-22 March 2015. A short orientation workshop will be conducted on the first day to introduce the different mapping and survey techniques to the volunteers. Background: The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014 is an Act of Parliament to regulate street vendors in public areas and protect their rights. The act is aimed towards providing the vendors with a sense of livelihood security as well as lay out regulations for their regularization. Lack of documentation as well as the growing apprehension towards the street vendors may result in the Act being a liability rather than a security measure for the street vendors of Bangalore. SELCO Foundation is conducting a detailed study looking at the vending activities in a particular neighbourhood of South Bangalore. By documenting the different typologies of vendors, as well as their processes, the threats faced by them as well as their social and economic contribution to the neighbourhood, the study aims to provide a deeper understanding into their role in our societies. Eligibility: No prior experience in mapping or survey exercises is required. Fluency in Kannada will be desirable. If interested, please drop in a mail at [email protected] for further details -- Vinay K Sreenivasa Alternative Law Forum 98805 95032 122/4, Infantry Road, (Opposite Infantry Wedding Hall) Bangalore 560001 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "alfexternal" group.
