Students of Dharmamurthi Rao Bahadur Calavala Cunnan Chetty’s Hindu College in Pattabiram are running ‘Vendors Kingdom’ a project that seeks to inculcate a sense of hygiene among street vendors running food stalls. This project, which targets food vendors in Patabiram, Avadi and Ambattur, is two years old and is handled by successive batches of students from the college’s Enactus Club. Many final year students are involved in the project; at last count, 60 final year students of the college were on board. The Vendors Kingdom project aims at a holistic development of street food vendors, especially those selling chaat items, equipping them with skill sets that would help them in their business. As part of the empowerment initiative, these street food vendors are introduced to wholesale vendors.
