The National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI), which has been at the forefront of getting a Central Act enacted in 2014 despite the impasse in Parliament , initiated development of a Safe and Hygienic Food Zone in Sarojini Nagar Market. Around 120 Street Food Vendors, who sell variety of snacks in Sarojini Nagar Market, have applied for Registration under the Food Safety Act 2011 and will be trained by NASVI in safe handling of food. So, do not be surprised after seeing Street Food Vendors wearing caps, aprons and gloves when you visit Sarojini Nagar Market.
