It was conducted in 63 cities across India where the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) is being implemented. This project was conducted by Centre for Public Policy Research, Kochi in partnership with Centre for Civil Society, New Delhi and is financed by Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT), Mumbai. 
               
              The report aims to unveil the laws applicable to entry-level professions for categories like street hawkers/vendors, shops and establishments and tranportation and effectively draw public attention to the issues faced by the entry- level professions in the informal sectors.  |
