Abstract	The unorganized sector contributes significantly to employment in both rural and urban areas in India and other emerging nations. In India, the informal sector employs almost 90% of the labor force. In urban regions, street sellers make up a sizable portion of the informal sector's workforce. Because they provide convenient access to a variety of goods and services in public areas, street vendors play a significant role in metropolitan economies across the nation. Despite being seen as informal, street vendors play a significant role in metropolitan economies. Their working conditions on the streets expose them to a range of safety and other hazards, and they lack adequate economic and social protection. The study's goal is to identify the issues that street vendors encounter and the opportunities that they require to safeguard their rights and continue operating their businesses in the study region. The study is founded on primary data, and it makes some recommendations for legislative actions to regulate these unofficial business owners based on the observations. The findings of this study could aid legislators in creating suitable regulations that safeguard street vendors' interests.
