“…The scheme promotes financial inclusion by offering access to formal credit facilities to street vendors who may not have easy access to traditional banking services. This fosters financial empowerment and enhances vendors' ability to manage their businesses effectively (Chakraborty & Koley, 2018). As street vendors are often from economically vulnerable backgrounds, PM SVANidhi contributes to poverty alleviation by promoting entrepreneurship and income generation.…”

The vendors on the street are unorganized. They are solitary workers who rely on the sale of goods and services on urban streets to support their livelihoods. Many people sacrificed their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, and these people faced many issues for survival. To uplift their livelihood, the Government of India & Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs introduced the scheme “Pradhan Mantri Street Vendor’s Atmanirbhar Nidhi Yojana (PM–SVA Nidhi)” on June 01, 2020. This paper attempts to study the awareness and perceptions regarding the implementation of the PM SVA Nidhi Yojana for street vendors in Meerut City. A total of 150 street vendors from Meerut were selected with the help of a convenience sampling technique. The latent constructs are described using the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach, with sufficient empirical support for the hypothesized correlations between awareness and perception. The study's outcome revealed that there is a significant relationship between the awareness and perception of street vendors concerning the PM-SVANidhi scheme. Insights into awareness and perception patterns among street vendors could affect communication theories, such as how information spreads and influences behavior in underserved communities. The study reveals the awareness and perception patterns among street vendors. Policymakers can use these insights to enhance the scheme's effectiveness.

“…However, in a study by Chakraborty et al , in rural West Bengal, 18.8% of respondents were active; 45.6% of respondents were mildly disabled; 35.6% of respondents were severely disabled. [ 19 ] These differences in ADL status might be because of the different ADL assessment scales used in their study as well as the geographically related differences in elderly care and support.…”

A BSTRACT Background: As the proportion of elderly in the population increases, they also become vulnerable to various types of intentional or unintentional injuries. Domestic accidents including falls among the elderly have been identified as a leading cause of injury-related morbidity and mortality in India and elsewhere. Aim: This study aims to assess the burden and pattern of domestic accidents in a rural part of Southern India. Methods and Setting: A community-based cross-sectional study among the elderly (≥60 years) was carried out in rural areas of Southern Karnataka. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to get the information on domestic accidents. Inferential statistical tests like the Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: A total of 500 persons aged ≥60 years with a mean age of 69.09 ± 7.42 years (Range 60–92 years) were included. One-third of the subjects have had an incidence of domestic accidents in the past 1 year contributing to a 35% prevalence of domestic accidents. A higher prevalence of domestic accidents was seen in those subjects who were ill (47.9%). Overall prevalence of falls was 21.4% ( P = 0.007). One-fifth of the subjects with domestic accidents had a residual illness. Conclusion and Contribution: One-third of our subjects gave a history of one or the other form of domestic accidents in the previous 1 year. Our study highlights the problem of unintentional domestic injuries among the most vulnerable group of the elderly and calls for a continuous assessment of the burden and nature of injuries.

“…For many countries, the handicraft sector is an important source of employment and income (Grobar, 2019). It ranks as the second-largest rural employment sector, and economic activity right after agriculture (Chakraborty, 2013). The COVID19 pandemic is the undeniable crisis of the twenty-first century.…”

Objectives: The traditional Handicraft sector in Jordan is encountering significant challenges due to the measures adopted by the Jordanian government to curb the spread of COVID-19. These measures threaten the handicrafts sector’s sustainability and compromise artisans’ livelihoods. This research aims to examine the socioeconomic impact of COVID-19 on the Traditional Handicraft sector in Jordan. Methods: The research utilizes a qualitative methodology to collect and analyze data. The research attempted to cover mostly widespread handicrafts in Jordan. These crafts were concentrated in Jordan's capital 'Amman'. A random sample of craftsmen working in ceramics, mosaics, olive wood carving, embroidery, and accessories was chosen. Semi-structured interviews, with open-ended questions, were conducted to collect the essential data. Results: The research results revealed that the pandemic badly affected the business activity and operational environment. The research also shows the low and marginal support workers within the sector received during the pandemic were not adequate to help the artisans. Furthermore, it shows a relationship between changing strategies in the conduct of business and the sustainability of the studios. Conclusions: The research concluded that changing the management strategies of the studios and the marketing methods for handicraft products greatly helped the sustainability of handicraft studios during the pandemic. The research recommends training the artisans to be familiar with the social media platforms and utilize those platforms to sell their products, training courses in e-marketing managerial, packaging, and design skills are highly recommended for building capacities of the artisans and sustaining their studios.
