Hyderabad-based Prashant Lingam recycled 400 kilos of plastic to make one of these kiosks. Now he is on a mission to make 4,000 such kiosks!

Pawan Kumar Agarwal CEO, FSSAI, in a statement, says, “We have decided to redefine our role as an organisation that helps align the expectations of key stakeholders, including scientists, testing labs, food businesses, state governments and consumers.”

The pilot programme of Team 3C headed by Aakarsh Shamanur, envisaged a community cooling solution for vendors to store perishables, which otherwise would expire before consumption.

eBaajaar finally is a social enterprise that acts as a bridge between street vendors and customers through Internet.

The hawkers association had earlier asked that they be allowed to work anywhere in the city since there weren’t any designated vending zones.

Aakarsh Shamanur wanted to make the working conditions of the women street vendors in Bengaluru better, so he started an initiative.

The reason behind banning the sale of non-tobacco products such as toffees, candies, chips, biscuits, and soft drinks at these shops is that they attract many youngsters and non-smokers who are quite susceptible to taking up the practice.

The project is called 'Oorja', and involves using unique solar LED lamps, which serve the dual purpose of imparting technical knowledge and entrepreneurship among the beneficiaries.
