The National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI) is an organization that advocates for the rights and welfare of street vendors across India. Its history reflects the evolution of street vendors’ movements in India, their struggles, and their successes in securing legal and social recognition.

Formation and Early Advocacy (1998-2004): NASVI was established in 1998, born out of the urgency to address the issues faced by street vendors, who were often marginalized and harassed by local authorities. The organization was formed as a coalition of street vendors’ groups from different parts of the country, aiming to provide a unified voice for vendors at the national level. In its early years, NASVI focused on advocacy and lobbying for the rights of street vendors, emphasizing the need for legal recognition and protection against eviction and harassment.

NASVI is an organization working for the protection of the livelihood rights of thousands of street vendors across the country. Beginning as a Network in 1998, NASVI was registered in 2003 under the Societies registration Act of 1860.

The main objective behind establishing NASVI was to bring together the street vendor organizations in India so as to collectively struggle for macro-level changes which had become imminent to support the livelihood of around 10 million vendors which stand severely threatened due to outdated laws and changing policies, practices and attitudes of the powers that be.

NASVI is a national federation of street vendor organizations. It is a coalition of Trade Unions, Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Non Government Organizations (NGOs) and professionals.
