This document summarizes a study on the financial inclusion of street vendors in Tiruchirappalli District, India. The study examines the socioeconomic background and credit needs of street vendors. It finds that most vendors borrow from moneylenders due to difficulties accessing banks. The study uses surveys and statistical analysis to evaluate differences in income, borrowing amounts, and credit sources between gender and religious groups. It concludes that expanding access to formal credit through training programs and microfinance could aid street vendor entrepreneurship and financial inclusion. Recommendations include skills development by banks, a census of vendors by civic authorities, and advocacy by trade unions to secure credit availability.

THE HISTORY OF CHINA, as documented in ancient writings, dates back some 3,300 years. Modern archaeological studies provide evidence of still more ancient origins in a culture that flourished between 2500 and 2000 B.C. in what is now central China and the lower Huang He (Yellow River) Valley of north China. Centuries of migration, amalgamation, and development brought about a distinctive system of writing, philosophy, art, and political organization that came to be recognizable as Chinese civilization. What makes the civilization unique in world history is its continuity through over 4,000 years to the present century.
The Chinese have developed a strong sense of their real and mythological origins and have kept voluminous records since very early times. It is largely as a result of these records that knowledge concerning the ancient past, not only of China but also of its neighbors, has survived.
Chinese history, until the twentieth century, was written mostly by members of the ruling scholar-official class and was meant to provide the ruler with precedents to guide or justify his policies. These accounts focused on dynastic politics and colorful court histories and included developments among the commoners only as backdrops. The historians described a Chinese political pattern of dynasties, one following another in a cycle of ascent, achievement, decay, and rebirth under a new family.
Of the consistent traits identified by independent historians, a salient one has been the capacity of the Chinese to absorb the people of surrounding areas into their own civilization. Their success can be attributed to the superiority of their ideographic written language, their technology, and their political institutions; the refinement of their artistic and intellectual creativity; and the sheer weight of their numbers. The process of assimilation continued over the centuries through conquest and colonization until what is now known as China Proper was brought under unified rule. The Chinese also left an enduring mark on people beyond their borders, especially the Koreans, Japanese, and Vietnamese.

Street vendor's economic condition in bdShamim Hosen
A large informal sector, street vending is a prevailing and distinctive part of the economy of Bangladesh. ‘Street vending is a natural market formed due to social needs (Bhowmik, S. K, 2005). Street vendors are an inevitable part of the economy around the world especially developing countries like Bangladesh, offering easy access to a wide range of goods and services in public spaces occupying the street. A research was conducted to obtain insight into entrepreneurship development, employment and poverty reduction by the vendors of Dinajpur district. This study has conducted by reviewing literatures and administering survey questionnaire to know entrepreneurship development in street vending; and to know the employment opportunity and poverty reduction by street vending. However, different parameters like Age of vendor, Householder Size (HHS), Religion, Gender Residential Status, Monthly Schooling Cost for Children, Monthly Health Cost, Capital Investment, Monthly Income, Monthly Savings and Availing loan Status etc. were taken under and analyzed. During conducting the research it was found that most of the vendors had to come to this business due to meet up the demand of the family. In addition, they do not have to give any levy by the municipality or others and their income decreases during weakened because of reducing the working people. This paper examines that the street vending is an important sector that is providing employment and income to the rural poor people in urban sector. The study has provided suggestions to formulate more effective policy in decision making for strengthening financial capacity of street vendors to ensure overall economic emancipation.

Case Study: Quality vs. Access
The Affordable Care Act raised the Medicaid reimbursement levels to Medicare levels, resulting in improved appointment availability for Medicaid recipients. One of the components of the Affordable Care Act now coming into effect is the reporting of quality measurements and tying these into reimbursement. Some of the measurements are subjective, such as patient satisfaction, while others are quantitative, such as percentage of patients with their diabetes under control. Patient adherence to treatment plans has been shown to be as low as 40%. Opponents of the rating system say this system will result in more difficult and low socio-economic group patients being turned away by providers.
· How could the payment system be modified to reward quality of care but not result in reduced access to those in lower socio-economic groups or with poorer health?

Financial inclusion of street vendors by g.reka
1. “A STUDY ON FINANCIAL
INCLUSION OF STREET VENDORS:
WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO
TIRUCHIRAPPALLI DISTRICT”.
BY
G.REKA ,
M.com.,M.Phil.,MBA.,M.phil.,
Assistant Professor
Department of Commerce
Jamal Mohamed College
2. INTRODUCTION
• Many issues related to street vendors
have been addressed in the past. Issues which are
related to public space utilisation, granting them
business licences so that they are no more called
“unlawful encroachers”, “nuisances and objects
causing visual pollution” and the like have often
been studied and deliberated. However the
issues surrounding the nature of credit
transactions and financial inclusion for street
vendors have never been discussed at length in
the recent past. This study will therefore be a
benchmark study in its own right.
3. STREET VENDORS
• “Street vendors means a person
engaged in vending of articles, goods, wares, food
items or merchandise of everyday use or offering
services to the general public, in a street, lane,
side walk, footpath, pavements, public park or
any other public place or private area, from a
temporary build up structures or by moving from
place to place and includes hawker, peddler,
squatter and all other synonymous Terms which
may be local or region specific.” (The Street
Vendors( Protection Of Livelihood And Regulation
Of Street Vending) Act,2014 ) .
4. FINANCIAL INCLUSION
• According to Chakraborty (2011), Financial
inclusion is the process of ensuring access to
appropriate financial products and services
needed by all sections of society including
vulnerable groups such as weaker sections
and low income groups at an affordable cost
in a fair and transparent manner by
mainstream institutional players.
5. NEED OF FINANCIAL INCLUSION
According to the United Nations the main goals of inclusive finance are
as follows:
• Access at a reasonable cost of all households and enterprises to the
range of financial services for which they are “bankable,” including
savings, short and long-term credit, leasing and factoring,
mortgages, insurance, pensions, payments, local money transfers
and international remittances.
• Sound institutions, guided by appropriate internal management
systems, industry performance standards, and performance
monitoring by the market, as well as by sound prudential regulation
where required
• Financial and institutional sustainability as a means of providing
access to financial services over time
• Multiple providers of financial services, wherever feasible, so as to
bring cost-effective and a wide variety of alternatives to customers
(which could include any number of combinations of sound private,
non-profit and public providers).
6. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objectives of the present study are:
• To understand the concept of financial inclusion.
• To Overview the socio-economic background of
the street vendors.
• To Document the current status of financial
inclusion of street vendors.
• Identify the policy constraints and drivers to the
better adoption of financial services appropriate
to the needs of the street vendors.
7. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
• Financial inclusion is an integral part of inclusive
and sustainable growth process of an economy.
Proper access to finance at an affordable cost to
all the section of the society is a key requisite to
economic growth. In a developing country like
India, a large segment of the society, particularly,
low income people have very little access to
formal financial sector. Thus, the poor people go
to informal sources of credit for their financial
needs even though it’s costly. When the street
vendors approach the banks they are confronted
with various problems. This study is concerned
with the financial inclusion of street vendors in
Tiruchirappalli district.
8. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The study suffers from the following limitations:
• Time was a major constraint for the project.
• Interaction with respondents was also limited
because of their busy work.
• The sampling is done based on the available
street vendors physically verified by the
researcher where there is no availability of
proper records.
• The street vendors don’t have a permanent place
or shop to sell their products. They are virtually
pushed to the every nook and corner of the town.
Their constant mobility makes the data collection
a difficult process.
9. METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY:
To carry out the present study, the methodologies that have been adopted are stated as
follows:
i)Type of Research
The present study is descriptive in nature as it aims at describing the status of
street vendors on the accessibility of banking services in Tiruchirappalli city.
Descriptive research methods are pretty much as they sound- they describe
situations. They do not make accurate predictions, and they do not determine
cause and effect.
ii) Sampling
A sample size of 175 is taken and responses are collected in a structured
schedule questionnaire. Researcher has adopted convenience sampling for
determining the sample The schedule questionnaire consist of 25 questions.
iii)Collection Of Data
Primary data were collected from 175 street vendors from
Tiruchirappalli city. The secondary data have been collected from the
annual report, periodicals, journals, magazines, text books, news papers
and websites so on.
10. iv)Data Processing
After completing the collection of data by the researcher prepared for
the
purpose of classifying the data, lastly classification tables were prepared for
further analysis and interpretation of data.
v)Research Gap
Although, lot of studies has been carried out in the area of financial
inclusion, few studies have been carried out in the street vendors.
Therefore, the present study is an attempt to contribute to the financial
inclusion of street vendors.
vi)Tools Used For The Analysis
The data collected through questionnaire has been tabulated and analyzed by
using the following techniques
• Simple Percentage analysis
• F-Test
• Correlation
• ANOVA
• M.S. excel

23. MAJOR FINDINGS
On the basis of the foregoing discussion and observations the
following inferences are drawn:
• Majority of 81 percent of the Respondents are male
members in society. This study shows that street vending is
a male-dominated occupation.
• A major portion of the vendors (nearly 45 per cent)
belonged to the age group 26-35 years.
• Of the 175 vendors in the present study, nearly 45 per cent
are completely illiterate.
• In totality, 04 per cent of the total Respondents are
physically challenged vendors.
• Interestingly, the data shows that Most of the vendors (34
per cent) are vegetable and flower vendors because this
occupation requires very low investment as compared to
other activities.
• Out of 175 respondents 13 per cent of the vendors are
engaged in seasonal nature of business.
24. • Vendors spend above 15 hours a day vending,
sometimes to the detriment of their health.
About 49 per cent spend 8 to 12 hours daily,
followed by 20 per cent who spend 5-8 hours
daily.
• The range of male vendors’ monthly income is
much higher than female.
• The major concentration is found in the
expenditure range Rs 9001-12000 (55 per cent).
• The amount of investment of the vendors in the
study revealed that 67 per cent of the vendors
had invested Rs 2501- 5000 in their businesses.
25. • Of the total 175 vendors in the sample set, 65 per
cent borrowed Rs 5001-10000 and 14 per cent
borrowed Rs100-5000.
• Of the total vendors, for 49 per cent the main
source of credit is the money lenders.
• 55 per cent of the sample set takes loans for
business activities.
• The linkages between the money lender and the
vendor get established through a variety of
channels. Nearly 53 per cent of the vendors say
that their fellow vendors had been the link.
• The greatest number of vendors the total vendors
(33 per cent) claim to 58 have there is no fixed
number for taking loan in a year.
26. CONCLUSION
It is an undeniable fact that the informal sector contributes
significantly towards national output (60 per cent of the GDP; NSSO
2004-05) and employment. Turning a blind eye to this sector would
work to the detriment of our country’s development. Street vending
offers a means of livelihood to a huge section of the urban poor and is
an important segment of the urban informal sector. The Government
of India estimates that 10 million persons obtain their livelihood from
this occupation. However, if this number is added to the number of
dependents in vendor families including those to whom money is
remitted money the number of persons dependent on this occupation
would triple. Aiding the expansion of their scale of operations,
encouraging them to be entrepreneurial and at the same time
regulating their activities through rehabilitation and access to cheap
formal credit would be a step forward towards the financial inclusion
of street vendors. There is an urgent need to turn all these discussions
and deliberations into practice.
27. RECOMMENDATIONS
Banks
The banks need to conduct skill development programmes, training
programmes, organise workshops for the uneducated urban poor as how to utilise
the available fund in a proper way minimum wastage. A separate department
should work towards educating them by providing free advice and consultation as
to how they should go about with formal procedures and documentation involved
in bank loans. The microfinance departments of the concerned bank should have
all these facilities.
Civic Authority
Only in one or two cities have they started official census of the vendors, no
data is available till now on the actual number of vendors, issue of licenses, photo
identity cards where ever getting undertaken is proceeding at a very slow pace.
After all these issues are over, the issue of credit accessibility will be taken up. It
means another 5-6 years of usurious capital for the vendors.
Trade Unions
They can play a very important role in securing credit availability for vendors.
Unions in Kolkata and Patna have been fighting pitched battles against evictions
and securing right to public space utilisation for street vendors. They will soon take
up the issue of formal credit accessibility.
